Flabebe -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flabebe from the BREAKthrough set.  Flabebe is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an HP of 30.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flabebe does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The one move it has is called Wish, for one fairy type energy card this move allows you to search your deck for a card and put it into your hand, if you get a heads when flipping a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flabebe is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Floette, and a Stage 2 evolution in Florges, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will just act like Flabebe does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, there is absolutely no reason to use this card in a deck.  Starting with the fact that this card has an extremely low HP, comparable to Magikarp, then moving on to the fact that this card doesn't do any damage when attacking, and the only move that it does have is based off of a coin flip.  So the only reason to include this card in a deck is to keep it on the bench while waiting to evolve it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is one of the poorest Basic Pokemon cards I've reviewed in some time.  Read the strategy section of this post for my analysis of how bad this card is, but do not use this card by itself in any deck out there, if you do, you will lose.

Flabebe #63/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flabebe from the Flashfire set.  This is the second of two Flabebe cards I've reviewed from this set.  Flabebe is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flabebe does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Razor Leaf, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flabebe is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Floette and a stage 2 evolution in Florges, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions but I will compare the two Flabebe cards I've reviewed in this post.  So on its own, I would not use this card in a deck because it has too low of an hp and is too limited on what it can do since Flabebe only has one move.  This card however can fit into any type deck because Razor Leaf requires a colorless energy card, so if you do include this card in a deck, it can be in any type deck, but you'll definitely not want to use more than one of these cards and get it into the active Pokemon spot early since it has such a low hp.  Between the two Flabebe cards in this set, neither one is very good, both having just one move a piece, but because yesterday's Flabebe card can impact more Pokemon with its only move, that is the one I would recommend to use if you have to use one.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor Basic Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  Besides having a very very low hp, the only move it has is pretty average which makes the card very limited.  I would not recommend at all using this card in a deck and would recommend the other Flabebe card in this set or to wait for another Flabebe card to come along.

Flabebe #62/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flabebe from the Flashfire set.  This is the first of two Flabebe cards I'll be reviewing on my blog.  Flabebe is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flabebe does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Aromatherapy, this move requires one fairy type energy card and heals 10 damage from each of your Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flabebe is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Floette and a stage 2 evolution in Florges, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet and I haven't even reviewed the second Flabebe card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions or knowing which Flabebe card is better.  So on its own, I may consider using one of these cards in a deck just so it can heal all of my other Pokemon, but you'll definitely not want to use this card as a starter type Pokemon because it can't do any damage when attacking and it has a really low hp.  So if you want to use this card in a deck, make sure to not use more than one, I would wait until many of your Pokemon have damage on them, then move Flabebe into the active Pokemon spot, use Aromatherapy a couple of turns, then retreat it before it gets knocked out.  Because Flabebe has such a low hp, make sure later in the game, if you move Flabebe into the active Pokemon spot, it can at least last a turn without getting knocked out.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card that to me is between a 1 and a 2 rating.  Besides not being able to do any damage when attacking and having a very low hp, this card is actually a card I would consider using in a deck just because it can help all of your Pokemon in play that have damage on them, but because Flabebe really is pretty horrible, it would be pretty risky to use more than 1 or use this card at all in a deck.  So if you're building a fairy type deck, this card may work in the deck, but you're taking an awfully big risk playing it in your deck.
