Blitzle -- BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Blitzle from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Set.  Blitzle is a basic, lightning type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Blitzle does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called Reckless Charge which does 20 damage for one colorless energy card, however this move also does 10 damage to Blitzle.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Blitzle is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Zebstrika, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So, on its own, this card could be used as a starter type Pokemon, since it can attack for one energy card, regardless of type, however, you just need to be careful and not knock yourself out since Reckless Charge is indeed reckless and does damage to Blitzle.  Doing 20 damage a turn for one energy card is an above average move, and probably would make a great step for this full line if used with Zebstrika.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Zebstrika, this is an average Basic Pokemon card.  Like I said above, this card is solid overall, with a low retreat cost, average HP, and a good move, the only downside to this card is that it does damage to itself, but overall it is definitely worth consideration in a lightning type deck.

Blitzle -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Blitzle from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Blitzle is a basic, lightning type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Blitzle does not have an Ability, and it only has the one move.  Its only move is called Smash Kick which requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Blitzle is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Zebstrika, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll probably want to include Zebstrika in your deck as well so you can evolve Blitzle into Zebstrika and use Zebstrika for attacking.  With that being said, Blitzle would be an okay card to include in a deck on its own.  I would include 1 Blitzle card in a deck that needed one other Pokemon, if you are just going to use Blitzle, you can put this card in any type deck because it only requires a colorless energy card.  I would try and get Blitzle in the active Pokemon spot early in the game because it can attack with only one energy card, however it can only do 10 damage maximum so that is why I wouldn't include more than one of these cards in a deck.  Getting it out early in the game will allow you to start attaching energy cards to your benched Pokemon because Blitzle has 70 hp it should be able to give you some time to set those Pokemon up.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  I do like how this card has an above average hp, but after that everything is extremely average.  It has an average move, and only one move at that, low retreat cost, and standard weakness and resistance.  So like I mentioned in the review section, this card can be used in any deck, but I would only use it if you need one more Pokemon card to fill your 60 card deck.
