Floette -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Floette BREAKthrough Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Floette from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card set.  Floette is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Floette does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Aromatherapy and for one fairy type energy this move heals 30 damage from each of your Pokemon.  Floette's second move is called Magical Leaf and for two fairy type energy cards this move does 20 damage plus if you get a heads it does 20 more damage and heals 20 damage from this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Floette is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Flabebe into play (I reviewed Flabebe from this set yesterday) and then evolve Flabebe into Floette.  Floette does have a Stage 2 evolution in Florges, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Floette is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Flabebe, you'll know that I thought that card was extremely poor, not only did it have a really low HP, but it only had one move, that didn't do any damage and was still based on a coin flip.  So knowing this about Flabebe and looking at this Floette card, this card follows suit in that it has a really low HP and two not so powerful moves.  However, I really like Floette's Aromatherapy move, it can heal all of your Pokemon at one time, and if you get a heads when you use Magical Leaf, you can heal damage from Floette as well, so as long as you're not facing a Pokemon that can do 70 or more damage per turn, this cards HP is higher than it says on the card.  Since this card does have such a low HP and Flabebe isn't very good, I wouldn't use these two cards together without using Florges, but if you are using this entire line, I would definitely recommend using Floette in the active Pokemon spot to heal your team in battle.

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 BREAKthrough set.  The main knock on this card is its HP, which stated above, is actually higher than 70 with the moves Floette has.  Overall, I like that Floette can attack quickly as well as heal your own Pokemon all at once.  But, because Flabebe from this set is so bad, I cannot give the first two Pokemon in this line higher than a 2 out of 5 rating and wouldn't recommend using them in a deck.

Floette #65/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Floette #65/106 Flashfire Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Floette from the Flashfire Pokemon Card set.  This is the second of two Flabebe cards I've reviewed from this set.  Flabebe is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Floette card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has requires one fairy type energy card and does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon, this move is called Petal Blizzard.  Floette's second move is called Razor Leaf, and for two energy cards, one each of fairy and colorless, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Floette is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Flabebe into play (I reviewed both Flabebe cards from this set that past two days) and then evolve Flabebe into Floette.  Floette does have a stage 2 evolution in Florges that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like this Floette card is the final Pokemon in this line but I will be comparing the two Floette cards at the end of this post.  So if you read my previous two reviews on Flabebe, you'll know that I'm not a big fan of both because both of very low hp and only one move a piece, I would actually recommend the first Flabebe card in this set, #62/106 because it can make more of an impact than the second Flabebe card, but I would probably recommend more keeping Flabebe on the bench.  So as far as strategy goes with this specific Floette card, I would use this card if you're building solely a fairy type deck because it doesn't do anything with grass type Pokemon like the other Floette card from this set does.  I would try and build a spread damage type deck to utilize Floette's Petal Blizzard move and try to get this card into the active Pokemon spot earlier in the game because it only has 70 hp.  Both Floette cards from this set are pretty solid, it really just depends on the strategy of your deck which Floette card you'll use.

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 Flashfire set.  Just like yesterday's Floette card, I am giving this card an above average rating even though it has a really low hp because this card has a low retreat cost and two very good, and quick moves.  In my opinion, if you don't mind a little lower hp, you really can't go wrong with either Floette card from this set.  Combined with Flabebe, I would only give this line a 3 out of 5 rating, neither Flabebe card from this set is very good at all.

Floette #64/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Floette #64/106 Flashfire Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Floette from the Flashfire Pokemon Card set.  This is the first of two Flabebe cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Flabebe is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Floette's Ability is called Flower Veil and gives all of your grass Pokemon in play 20 more hp.  Besides the Ability, Floette just has one move called Fairy Wind, this move requires one fairy type energy card and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Floette is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Flabebe into play (I reviewed both Flabebe cards from this set that past two days) and then evolve Flabebe into Floette.  Floette does have a stage 2 evolution in Florges that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet and I haven't even reviewed the second Floette card from this set, the strategy below will act like this Floette card is the final Pokemon in this line and that I don't know anything about the other Floette card in this set.  So if you read my previous two reviews on Flabebe, you'll know that I'm not a big fan of both because both of very low hp and only one move a piece, I would actually recommend the first Flabebe card in this set, #62/106 because it can make more of an impact than the second Flabebe card, but I would probably recommend more keeping Flabebe on the bench.  So as far as strategy goes with this specific Floette card, you'll want to put it into a dual type deck of grass and fairy type Pokemon.  That way you can use Floette's Ability with your grass Pokemon and use the fairy type energy to use Fairy Wind.  So I would definitely use this card in a deck of the above type, and I would keep it on the bench to utilize its Ability thus making all of my grass type Pokemon much stronger, then if I need to, I can put Floette into the active Pokemon spot, use Fairy Wind a couple of turns then retreat it back to the bench.  Because Flabebe isn't the greatest and you're going to use Floette mostly for its Ability, I would only use a 1-1 line in your deck.

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 Flashfire set.  Even though this card has a low hp and can only do 20 damage maximum, I am still giving this card an above average rating because of its Ability and how it can make your whole team better.  So if you combine this card with the first Flabebe card from this set, I would give those two cards an average rating, but if you have a dual type of grass and fairy, make sure to use this Floette card in it.
