Florges -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Florges BREAKthrough Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Florges from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Florges is a stage 2, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Florges's Ability is called Calming Aroma and says that each of your Pokemon's attacks cost one less fairy type energy card.  Besides the Ability, Florges just has one move called Wonder Shine, that for three fairy type energy cards, does 70 damage, plus it confuses the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Florges is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Flabebe into play and then evolve it into Floette before you can evolve Floette into Florges, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last two days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought Flabebe was an extremely poor Basic Pokemon card, one that had a low HP and a poor move and one that should not be used on its own or in the active Pokemon spot ever, I thought Floette was better, being average overall, it too had a low HP, but both of its moves healed damage from it.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this Florges card, if you have the patience and room in your deck to keep Florges on the bench the entire game, that is the preferred strategy.  That way, if you're using a heavy fairy type deck, all of your Pokemon can attack for one less energy card.  Outside of that, I do like Florges' move quite well, the only downside being that Florges is a Stage 2 Pokemon with a very low HP.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the BREAKthrough set.  Other than having a low HP, this card is very good.  It has a great Ability that will greatly affect a fairy type deck, and the one move it has not only does above average damage but also inflicts a special condition.  So overall, this is an average line to put into a deck, getting a 3 out of 5 rating from me, but if you're using a mostly fairy type deck, definitely consider using this line.

Florges -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Florges Flashfire Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Florges from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Florges is a stage 2, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resitandce to metal type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Florges does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Brilliant Search, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to search your deck ofr up to 3 cards and put them into your hand.  Florges's second move is called Petal Blizzard, this move requires one fairy type energy card and does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Florges is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Flabebe into play and then evolve it into Floette before you can evolve Floette into Florges, all of these Pokemon are in the Flashfire set and I've reviewed those Pokemon the last few days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards, you'll know that there are actually two each of Flabebe and Floette in this set, I am not too big of fan of either Flabebe card in this set, even though I recommend the first one over the second one, and then when looking at Floette, it really depends what type of deck you're running for which Floette card to choose, both are pretty good. So knowing all of this and reading the overview of this Florges card above, I would recommend using this card in a spread damage type deck, thus using it with the first Flabebe card in this set and the second Floette card in this set because Floette also has the Petal Blizzard move.  I would try and get at least Flabebe evolved into Floette on the bench then start attacking with Petal Blizzard.  A good thing about all of the cards in this line is the low retreat cost, but they better have a low retreat cost with such a low hp.  I would not use many of these cards in a deck probably only a 2-2-2 or 1-1-1 line.  If you get Florges into the active Pokemon spot early enough in the game you could always use Brilliant Search and get plenty of energy cards or evolution cards into your hand.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  Even though this card has an extremely low HP, I do like both of Florges's moves and if you're building a spread damage type deck, this card will fit perfectly, plus it is a quick card with a low retreat cost.  Overall, if you're looking at Flabebe, Floette, and Florges from this set, I would give the entire line a 3 out of 5 rating unless you're specifically building a spread damage type deck, then I would give the line a 4 out of 5 rating.  Individually I gave a 3 to Flabebe and 4s to Floette and Florges.
