Fearow -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fearow from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Fearow is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90. It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Fearow does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  This card's first move is called Devastating Wind, for one Colorless Energy card this move makes your opponent shuffle their hand into their deck and draw three new cards.  Fearow's second move is called Slashing Strike, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 60 damage, however this move can't be used 2 turns in a row.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Fearow is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Spearow into play (I reviewed Spearow from this set yesterday) and then evolve Spearow into Fearow.  If you read yesterday's review of Spearow, you'll know that I thought it was an average Basic Pokemon card overall, it had a solid move, a low retreat cost, and although it only had one move, this move could do up to 40 damage per turn for only 1 Energy card.  So knowing this about Spearow and looking at this Fearow card, you could put this line into a deck that features a way to freely move Pokemon into and out of the Active Pokemon spot, that way you could use Slashing Strike every other turn and do 60 damage for only one Colorless Energy card.  Although I wish Devastating Wind was on a Basic Pokemon card, this move could ruin your opponent's strategy, especially early in games.

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 Sun and Moon set.  The only real downside to this card is that it can only do damage when attacking every other turn, otherwise, this card has a solid HP, both moves it has can be used quickly, and it has a low retreat cost.  Overall, this line of Spearow and Fearow is solid, I would give the two cards a combined 3 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave each card individually.

Fearow -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fearow from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Fearow is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Fearow does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Peck, for one colorless energy card this move does 30 damage.  Fearow's second move is called Drill Run, this move requires four colorless energy cards to use and does 70 damage, plus you get to discard an energy card attached to your opponent's active Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Fearow is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Spearow into play (I reviewed Spearow from this set yesterday) and then evolve Spearow into Fearow.  If you read yesterday's review of Spearow, you'll know that I thought that card was an average Basic Pokemon card and could be used on its own, it has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and one move that was a little on the slow side but did do above average damage.  So knowing this about Spearow and looking at this Fearow card, you could definitely use a 1-1 line of Spearow and Fearow in a deck, you could start the game with Spearow in the active Pokemon spot and evolve it after the first turn and use Peck or just keep Spearow in the active Pokemon spot in awhile and do 30 damage a turn with it.  The advantage of using Fearow over Spearow is that Fearow can do the same amount of damage for one energy card less and it has 40 more HP.  Drill Run is a good move, however, it does require quite a bit of energy and for a card that has 100 damage, that may be too many energy cards to use on it, but you can also choose to set this card up on the bench that way when you move it to the active Pokemon spot you can do 70 damage right away.

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 Roaring Skies set.  This card has an above average HP, and two average to slightly above average moves.  There really isn't anything that I dislike about this card, it just doesn't stand out that much to me.  Together with Spearow from this set, I would give these two cards a 4 out of 5 rating, together they are definitely above average, especially since they can fit into any type deck.

Fearow -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fearow from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Fearow is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Fearow does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Fly, for two colorless energy cards this move does 40 damage, however you must flip a coin when using this move, if you get a heads all effects of an attack by your opponent during their next turn are prevented, if you get a tails, Fly does nothing at all.  Fearow's second move is called Drill Peck and does 60 damage for three colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Fearow is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Spearow into play (I reviewed Spearow from this set yesterday) and then evolve Spearow into Fearow.  If you read yesterday's review of Spearow, you'll know that I thought that card was an average Basic Pokemon card that would move to above average if used in a spread damage type deck since the only move it had could do 10 damage for one colorless energy card, but it made the opponent switch out their active Pokemon every turn.  So knowing this about Spearow and looking at this Fearow card, I would just stick with putting one Spearow card in a spread damage type deck and not using Fearow at all.  I say this because not only Fearow not contribute to the spread damage style of Spearow, but neither move it has is that great and you for sure have to put three energy cards on Fearow to make sure and do some damage.  So I would not recommend using Fearow at all.  If you do choose to use Fearow in a deck, I wouldn't use more than a 1-1 line, and I would try and get Spearow into the active Pokemon spot early to spread damage around, then possibly retreat it, evolve it into Fearow on the bench, get three energy cards on it, then use Drill Peck every turn.  I am not a big fan of coin flip based moves, so I would avoid Fly.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Despite having an average HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, I am still giving this card a below average rating, mainly because of its two average to below average moves.  I just want something more than this when using a Stage 1 card in my deck.  So together with Spearow from this set, I can't give these two cards higher than a 2 rating.
