Clawitzer -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Clawitzer from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card Set.  Clawitzer is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Clawitzer's Ability is called Mega Boost and says that once per turn, you may attach a Special Energy card from your hand to one of your Mega Evolution Pokemon in play.  Besides the Ability, Clawitzer just has one move called Crabhammer, this move does 60 damage for three energy cards, two colorless and one water.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Clawitzer is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Clauncher into play (I reviewed Clauncher from this set yesterday) and then evolve Clauncher into Clawitzer.  There is a Clawitzer BREAK card in this set and I'll be reviewing it tomorrow.  If you read yesterday's review of Clauncher, you'll know that I thought it was a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card.  It was pretty solid overall, with a good HP, low retreat cost, and a quick move, but the card was limited overall, and the only move it had depended on two coin flips.  So knowing this about Clauncher and looking at this Clawitzer card, if you want to use this card purely for its Crabhammer move, that is an okay idea, it is an average move at best, but deals a fair amount of damage, if Clauncher would have been better I could have recommended this route.  But, without knowing what Clawitzer BREAK looks like, the way you'd want to use this card in a deck is if you're using Mega EX Pokemon and if you're using a full set of a Special Energy card, like a Double Colorless energy or Burning Energy, if you're not doing both of those things, there is no reason to use this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Steam Siege set.  Other than being slow on the attack, and having an Ability that won't work unless you are using Mega EX and Special Energy cards, this card is solid overall.  It has an average HP, low retreat cost, and an average move, plus an Ability.  Like I said in the strategy section of this post, I probably wouldn't use this card without the BREAK form, but this card isn't terrible.  Together with Clauncher from this set, I would give the two cards a 2 out of 5 rating.

Clawitzer -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Clawitzer from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Clawitzer is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Clawitzer does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Reverse Thrust, for one water energy card this move does 30 damage, however after using this move you must switch Clawitzer with one of your benched Pokemon.  Clawitzer's second move is called Splash Cannon, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each water energy card attached to this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Clawitzer is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Clauncher into play (I reviewed Clauncher from this set yesterday) and then evolve Clauncher into Clawitzer.  If you read yesterday's review of Clauncher, you'll know that I thought that card was a very poor Basic Pokemon card because of its terrible moves.  Because Clauncher is so bad, if you use this Clawitzer card with it, make sure to set the line up on the bench, you can then get three water energy cards on Clawitzer before moving it to the active Pokemon spot.  When it is moved to the active Pokemon spot, you can use Splash Cannon every turn doing 110 damage a turn, then when Clawitzer is about to feint, you can use Reverse Thrust, doing damage and then retreating it for free.  I would definitely consider using this Pokemon family in a water type deck and would consider using a 1-1 line of Clauncher and Clawitzer.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  I like that this card has an above average HP plus two moves that work very nicely together.  So overall with Clauncher, I would give this line from the Furious Fists set a 3 out of 5 rating, Clauncher was a 1 individually so it shows how much I like this Clawitzer card.  So if you need some power in your water type deck, this card is definitely one to consider.
