Exeggcute -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Exeggcute Roaring Skies Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Exeggcute from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first card in the Roaring Skies set and first card from that set I'm reviewing on my blog.  Exeggcute is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Exeggcute does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Loathe, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to switch Exeggcute with one of your benched Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Exeggcute's second move is called Ram, this move requires one grass type energy card to use and does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Exeggcute is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Exeggcutor, 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, I would definitely not recommend using this card in a deck, the main reason being this card has a very low HP, and if you don't start the game with this card in the active Pokemon spot, it will for sure get knocked out in two moves, probably one, later in games.  If for some reason you want to use this card in a deck or need to use it with Exeggcutor, I would recommend keeping it on the bench for as long as possible to try and evolve it there, or just using Ram every turn and using Potion cards with this card.  Loathe doesn't do much for me, especially since you can just use a Switch trainer card or give up one energy card to retreat it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Exeggcutor, this is a very poor Basic Pokemon card.  Even though this card does have two moves, neither move being too great, I am giving this card my lowest rating because of its terrible HP which makes this card unusable.  So not the greatest start to the Roaring Skies set, hopefully tomorrow's review will be a bit better.

Exeggcute -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Exeggcute Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Exeggcute from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Exeggcute is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 30.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Exeggcute's Ability is called Propagation and says that you may move an Exeggcute card from your discard pile once per turn as long as you have this Exceggcute card in play.  Besides the Ability, Exeggcute just has one move called Seed Bomb, this move requires two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Exeggcute is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Exeggutor, 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, I would not suggest using Exeggcute in a deck.  The main reason I say this is because this card has such a low hp it will get knocked out right away when facing another Pokemon, plus the only move it has requires two energy cards so it will take some time before it can attack.  Propagation is a decent Ability but only if you're using this card with Exeggutor.  So again, do not use this card in a deck if you don't have to, because if you have it in your deck, all you'll be able to do is put it in the active Pokemon spot and use Seed Bomb every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an extremely below average basic Pokemon card.  Even though this card has an Ability and a move, I am still giving this card a really low rating because everything about this card is not good.  Low hp, below average Ability that depends on evolution use, and a move that is average but slow.  So again I would not recommend using this card in a deck if you don't have to.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
