Noibat -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Noibat Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Noibat from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Noibat is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Noibat does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Tackle, and for one colorless energy card it does 10 damage.  Noibat's second move is called Gust, and for two colorless energy cards, the move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Noibat is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Noivern, which I reviewed a couple of weeks ago, you'll definitely want to use this card with that card since I gave Noivern, which is a darkness type Pokemon that requires darkness and psychic type energy cards, a 4 out of 5 rating.  Because Noivern is very good, especially in a spread damage type deck, I would make sure to include a 2-2 line of Noibat and Noivern in a deck.  You could easily start the game with this Noibat card in the active Pokemon spot since it can attack quickly and does a fair amount of damage for the amount of energy cards it requires.  So I would move this card to the active Pokemon spot to start the game, use Tackle the first turn, Gust the second, and try and evolve Noibat into Noivern the third time.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this Noibat card is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  It can easily be used on its own, since it can use any type energy cards, and it also should be used with Noivern from this set.  Combined with Noivern, I would give these two Pokemon a 4 out of 5 rating, I would highly recommend this line for any spread damage, psychic, or darkness type deck.

Tornadus -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Tornadus Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tornadus from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Tornadus is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 110, it has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tornadus does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Push Down, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and does 20 damage, plus you may have your opponent switch their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.  Tornadus's second move is called Twister Throw, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 60 damage plus 60 more damage if you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Tornadus is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, this card could work well in any type deck since it is a colorless type deck.  Even though the moves are a little slower on Tornadus, because it only has a one colorless energy card retreat cost, you can use Tornadus in the active Pokemon spot for a bit, retreat it, and easily start attacking again when you put it back into the active Pokemon spot.  If I were to use this card in a deck I would only use a maximum of one of this card, and I would try and work it out to have the same number of cards in my hand each time as my opponent so Twister Throw would do 120 damage every single turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  This card does have a good HP and low retreat cost, plus two moves, but neither move in my opinion is that far above average that it would make me change my rating of the card.  This card can definitely be a solid addition to any type deck, especially if you can make the card do 120 damage every single turn.

So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Tornadus from the Furious Fists set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Noibat, which is from this same set. Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Watchog -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Watchog Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Watchog from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Watchog is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Watchog does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Held-Item Inspection, this move requires one colorless energy card to use and allows you to see your entire opponent's hand, and lets you choose an item card they have and make them shuffle that card back into their deck.  Watchog's second move is called Thorough Crunch, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage plus for each heads you get when flipping two coins, you get to discard an energy card attached to your opponent's active Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Watchog is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Patrat into play (I reviewed Patrat from this set yesterday) and then evolve Patrat into Watchog.  If you read yesterday's review of Patrat, you'll know that I thought that card was a way below average Basic Pokemon card because it only had one move and the only move it had allowed you to look at one of your prize cards, it couldn't do any damage at all.  So knowing this about Patrat and looking at this Watchog card, you'll want to use minimal of each card if you want to use this Pokemon family in your deck.  Neither card is great in this line, but if you put a 1-1 line in your deck, you could easily get Watchog into the active Pokemon spot a couple of turns into the game and then use Thorough Crunch every single turn, hopefully getting some heads and discarding some of your opponent's energy cards, thus allowing your team plenty of time to get set up, while your opponent cannot attack because they don't have enough energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average to slightly below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  Other than a lower HP, this card is definitely average overall.  I like that both moves can use any type of energy, and I especially like Thorough Crunch, it does average damage for the amount of energy cards it requires, but being able to discard energy cards is a big plus.  So overall, I would give this line a 2 out of 5 rating, it isn't that great, but if you can quickly evolve Patrat into Watchog, the line is definitely worth a look.  Individually Patrat was a 1, Watchog a 3.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Watchog from the Furious Fists set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Tornadus, which is from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Patrat -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Patrat Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Patrat from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Patrat is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Patrat does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Safety Check, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to look at one of your face-down prize cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Patrat is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Watchog, 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 recommend using this card in a deck.  The main reason being that this card can't do any damage at all.  If I were using this card with Watchog, I would definitely put this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game just to see one or many of my prize cards, then use Watchog to do the attacking.  But if you're just considering this card to use in a deck, please look elsewhere.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Watchog, this card is a very poor Basic Pokemon card that makes no sense to use in a deck.  Without being able to do any damage, this card doesn't belong in a deck.  There are plenty of Basic Pokemon cards out there that have 60 HP like this card and can do damage for only one energy card.

Slaking -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Slaking Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Slaking from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Slaking is a stage 2, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  Slaking does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Amnesia, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 50 damage, plus you get to choose one of your opponent's attacks on their active Pokemon and that Pokemon is unable to use that move during their next turn.  Slaking's second move is called Knuckle Sandwich, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 120 damage, however after using this move, you must discard an energy card attached to Slaking.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Slaking is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Slakoth into play and then evolve it into Vigoroth before you can evolve Vigoroth into Slaking, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were below average, and I wouldn't have recommended using either of them without this Slaking card.  So knowing this and looking at Slaking, if you decide to use this Pokemon family in a deck, I would highly recommend setting up the entire line on the bench and getting at least 4, probably more, energy cards on Slaking before putting it into the active Pokemon spot.  That way, when you do use Slaking, you can use Knuckle Sandwich multiple times in a row without having to attach an energy card.  I would also consider using Amnesia often if the defending Pokemon you're facing only has one move, that way you can do 50 damage to it, and make them unable to attack you.  Since Slaking requires so many energy cards to use, I wouldn't put more than a 1-1-1 line of this Pokemon family in a deck, and would only include this line in a deck, if you are really looking for extra power, otherwise, I wouldn't use this line at all.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  This card does have a high HP, and two moves, both around average, but because this card is so slow to attack with and requires a ton of energy cards to retreat, I can't give it more than an average rating.  Combined with the other two Pokemon in this family, I would give Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Slaking from this set a rating of 2 out of 5 and would not recommend using this line in a deck.  Individually Slakoth was a 1, Vigoroth a 2, and Slaking a 3.

Vigoroth -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Vigoroth Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vigoroth from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card set.  Vigoroth is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vigoroth does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Scratch, this move does 20 damage for one colorless energy.  Vigoroth's second move is called Reckless Charge and for three colorless energy cards, this move does 70 damage, however if you get a tails when flipping a coin, you must put 20 damage on Vigoroth.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vigoroth is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Slakoth into play (I reviewed Slakoth from this set yesterday) and then evolve Slakoth into Vigoroth.  Vigoroth does have a stage 2 evolution in Slaking 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 Vigoroth is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read yesterday's review of Slakoth, you'll know that I thought the card was very poor, all it could do was put both itself and the defending Pokemon to sleep, it couldn't do any damage and the retreat cost on the card was higher than the amount of energy cards it requires to attack.  So knowing this about Slakoth and looking at this Vigoroth card, I still wouldn't recommend using either of these Pokemon in play without Slaking.  This Vigoroth card is much better and you could potentially use a 1-1 line of Slakoth and Vigoroth in a deck.  I would of course evolve Slakoth into Vigoroth immediately and then use Scratch right away and eventually get three energy cards onto Vigoroth to use Reckless Charge.  But I would try and use this card more as a starter type Pokemon, I would get this card into the active Pokemon spot right away, put one energy card on Vigoroth, and then start setting up your benched Pokemon.

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 Furious Fists set.  I like that this card has two moves, and a lower retreat cost than Slakoth, but this card still isn't that great.  Neither move that this card has is way above average, both moves are just average.  When combining this card with Slakoth, I would only give the line a 2 out of 5 rating, you can definitely find better Pokemon to use in your deck.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Vigoroth from the Furious Fists set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Vigoroth's stage 2 evolution in Slaking which is from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Slakoth -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Slakoth Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Slakoth from the Furious Fists set.  Slakoth is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Slakoth does not have an Ability and it only has one move. The only move that it has is called Big Yawn, this move requires two colorless energy cards and puts both Slakoth and the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Slakoth is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Vigoroth and a stage 2 evolution in Slaking, which I'll be reviewing the next two 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.  So on its own, I would highly recommend not using this card in a deck.  Not only can it do no damage at all, but the amount of energy cards required to retreat this card are more than the amount of energy cards required to use Big Yawn.  This card may work okay if you are using it with at least Vigoroth because you can then get this card into play, put both Pokemon to sleep and hopefully set up your own Pokemon for awhile then evolve Slakoth into Vigoroth.  But again, on its own, I would highly recommend not using this card in a deck.

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 Furious Fists set.  The only average thing about this card is that it has 60 for an HP, other than that, everything is below average.  The only move it has requires too many energy cards and does no damage at all, and the retreat cost on this card is unbelievably high.  So I can not recommend to use this card one tiny bit.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Slakoth from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Slakoth's stage 1 evolution in Vigoroth, which is also from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Eevee -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Eevee Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Eevee from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Eevee is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Eevee's Ability is called Energy Evolution and says that when you place an energy card on Eevee, you may search your deck for the evolution that is the same type as the energy card you just attached, and evolve Eevee into that Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Eevee just has one move called Gnaw, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Eevee is a basic Pokemon card with many different stage 1 evolution cards in this set, you'll more than likely want to use this card with its evolutions.  Because I have reviewed all of the evolution cards already, you should just go back to my reviews of those cards to figure out if this Eevee card should be used with those cards, or if you should look to another set for an Eevee card.  With that being said, it is really a mute point on having to use this Eevee or another Eevee card, all you have to do is get Eevee into play, put an energy card on it, and use its Ability to evolve Eevee, because of this, you never really have to use Eevee at all, since you can always evolve it right away.  On its own however, I would not use this card in a deck because it has too slow of move that does below average damage and it also has a lower HP.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  If this card were to be used on its own I would give it a 1 rating, but if you plan on using this card with an evolution of Eevee, this card is much better because you can utilize its Ability and evolve it immediately.  So overall, if you are building a deck that includes at least 1 Eevee evolution, this card will work just perfectly for you.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Eevee from the Furious Fists set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Slakoth, which is from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Lickilicky -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Lickilicky Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lickilicky from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Lickilicky is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  Lickilicky does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Knock Off, for three colorless energy cards this move does 50 damage, plus you get to discard a random card from your opponent's hand.  Lickilicky's second move is called Lickichop, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 60 damage, plus 30 more damage for each heads you get when you flip a coin until you get tails.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Lickilicky is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Lickitung into play (I reviewed Lickitung from this set yesterday) and then evolve Lickitung into Lickilicky.  If you read yesterday's review of Lickitung, you'll know that I thought the card was very poor and one of the worst cards I had reviewed from the Furious Fists set.  So knowing this about Lickitung and looking at this Lickilicky card, the only reason I would even consider using this card in a deck is because I would be feeling very lucky and would think that if I took the time to put four energy cards on Lickilicky and used Lickichop, I would be able to do a ton of damage and knock out a Pokemon in one turn.  Other than that, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, because both moves it has are slow, the retreat cost is really high, and neither move is guaranteed to even do average damage for the amount of energy cards required.

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 Furious Fists Pokemon card set.  Other than having a high HP and being able to fit into any type deck since it is a colorless type Pokemon, I do not like anything about this card.  This card is better than Lickitung, which it should be, but I can not recommend using this Pokemon line in a deck.  I would give Lickitung and Lickilicky a 1 out of 5 combined rating and would advise everyone to stay away from these two Pokemon in the Furious Fists set.

Lickitung -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Lickitung Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lickitung from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Lickitung is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Lickitung does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Lunge.  This move requires three colorless energy cards to use, and if you get a heads when you flip a coin the move does 50 damage, otherwise it doesn't do anything at all.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Lickitung is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Lickilicky, 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 highly recommend staying away from this card at all costs, it just isn't good.  It only has one move, that is extremely slow to set up, so you can't use this Basic Pokemon card as a starter type Pokemon.  Plus, if you do get three energy cards on this card and try attacking, even if you get a heads, it still does below average damage for three energy cards, and if you get a tails it doesn't do anything.  So unless you have your heart set on using Lickilicky from this set, stay away from this card at all costs.  If you do have this card in your deck, which you shouldn't, the only thing you can do is hope for some luck while using Lunge every single turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this is easily the worst card I have reviewed so far from the Furious Fists set.  Like I discussed in the strategy section of this post, the only good thing about this card is its HP, other than that, it has way too high of a retreat cost, it only has one move that is terrible, and this card may not be able to do anything at all when in the active Pokemon spot.  So again, I would highly recommend staying away from this card.

Noivern -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Noivern Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Noivern from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Noivern is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Noivern's Ability is called Echolocation and says that if any damage is done to Noivern, flip a coin first, if heads all of that damage is prevented.  Besides the Ability, Noivern has only one move which is called Boomburst.  This move requires three energy cards to use, one each of psychic, darkness, and colorless, and does 30 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Noivern is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Noibat into play and then evolve Noibat into Noivern.  I actually have not reviewed Noivern from this set yet because it is a colorless type card, so in this section I will just assume Noibat is an average card and that you are basically going to have to use that card in order to use Noivern.  So looking at this Noivern card, this card would fit perfectly in a spread damage type deck.  You could set this card up on the bench, get three energy cards on it, then use Boomburst while in the active Pokemon spot to potentially knock out multiple Pokemon of your opponent's at a time.  You could also use this late in games because of its Ability because you get a 50/50 shot of preventing all damage done to Noivern making its 100 HP seem that much higher.  So I would definitely recommend using this card in a deck, both if you're building a spread damage type deck and if you're building a dual type deck or psychic and darkness.  I would recommend using a 2-2 line of these Pokemon.

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 Furious Fists set.  There isn't anything like I really dislike about this card.  This card has an above average HP, low retreat cost, a very good Ability, and a devastating move if you include this card in a spread damage type deck.  So this card is basically a must have and a must use for a spread damage type deck, and is still a great card for just a normal darkness and psychic type deck.

Flygon -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Flygon Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flygon from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Flygon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flygon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Rainbow Shower.  This move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to attach as many energy cards as you'd like from your hand to your Pokemon in any way that you'd like.  Flygon's second move is called Sand Sweep, this move requires three energy cards, one each of grass, fighting, and colorless, and does 70 damage, plus it heals 30 damage from each of your Pokemon that has at least one energy card on them.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flygon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Trapinch into play and then evolve it into Vibrava before you can evolve Vibrava into Flygon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them in the past.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were average individually but together were a little below average because neither card had that great of moves or high HP.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this Flygon card, I would still want to use Flygon in a deck, especially if I am building a dual grass and fighting type deck.  I wouldn't include too many of each Pokemon in this line, probably a 1-1-1 line, and then I would include trainer cards to get a ton of energy cards into my hand, I would then spend time to get Flygon on the bench, then move it to the active Pokemon spot and use Rainbow Shower right away to get all of my Pokemon set up at the same time, then after that I would use Sand Sweep most turns.  I would also try and include many other Pokemon that have lower retreat costs in my deck, so I can move my Pokemon in and out of the active Pokemon spot with ease and heal them with Flygon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an excellent Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set, not only one that is pretty powerful attack wise, but a card that will greatly increase the effectiveness of your whole deck.  I really like Rainbow Shower, allowing you to move a bunch of energy cards from your hand to your Pokemon at once, and then Sand Sweep not only does above average damage but it heals damage from all of your Pokemon with energy on them.  So I would highly recommend this Pokemon card and line for those building a grass and fighting type deck, altogether I would give this Pokemon family a 4 out of 5 rating, individually Trapinch and Vibrava were 3 out of 5 cards, and Flygon was a 5.

Vibrava -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Vibrava Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vibrava from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card set.  Vibrava is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vibrava does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Charge Energy and for one colorless energy card this move allows you to search your deck for two energy cards and put them into your hand.  Vibrava's second move is called Vibration and for two energy cards one each of grass and fighting, does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vibrava is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Trapinch into play (I reviewed Trapinch a few weeks back because it was a fighting type Pokemon) and then evolve Trapinch into Vibrava.  Vibrava does have a stage 2 evolution in Flygon 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 Vibrava is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Trapinch from this set you'll know that I thought that card was average to below average and could be used on its own in a deck, but was a little slow on the attack so it would be best to be kept on the bench if using it with its evolutions.  So when looking at this Vibrava card, the first thing you'll want to note is that you'll probably want to use this card in a dual type deck of grass and fighting Pokemon.  This card can be used in a deck without Flygon but I would only recommend using a 1-1 line of Trapinch and Vibrava.  I would try and set up Vibrava on the bench getting two energy cards on it before moving it to the active Pokemon spot.  The earlier in the game you use Vibrava the better since it only has 80 HP and can only do 30 damage a turn, but with a low retreat cost, and low attack costs, this card is a fairly average and solid card to use in a deck.

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 Furious Fists set.  I like that this card has two moves, both requiring little energy cards.  Plus this card has a low retreat cost which makes up for its low HP.  Even though I gave both Trapinch and Vibrava 3 out of 5 ratings individually, I am going to give these two cards combined a 2 out of 5 rating, they can be used in a deck, but they definitely won't be game changing.

Dragonite EX Full Art -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Dragonite EX Full Art Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dragonite EX and Dragonite EX Full Art from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Dragonite EX is a basic, EX, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Dragonite's Ability is called Bust In and says that when you play Dragonite EX from your hand to your bench, you may move as many energy cards from your benched Pokemon to Dragonite EX as you like, if you do this, you must switch your active Pokemon with Dragonite EX.  Besides the Ability, Dragonite EX has only one move called Jet Sonic, this move requires three energy cards, two grass and one lightning, and does 80 damage plus 40 more damage if you choose to discard an energy card attached to Dragonite.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Dragonite EX is a basic Pokemon card you won't need to use any other cards with this card.  But remember, because this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  So knowing this about Dragonite EX, the only time I would even include one of these in a deck would be if I were specifically building a grass and lightning dual type deck, otherwise I would stay away from this card.  Even if I were to build that dual type deck, I would still think long and hard about putting this card in that deck.  This card is actually very quick to use since you can pull all of the energy cards from your benched Pokemon and put it into the active Pokemon spot right away, plus you won't give away you have an EX card in your deck because you can keep Dragonite in your hand before you want to use it, but since this is an EX card and can only do 80 damage without discarding an energy card, it just isn't that good of a card and I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic, EX Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  I do like its high HP and its Ability, but this card only has one move that isn't that great for an EX card, thus making this card pretty unusable in play, resulting in my below average rating for this card.  There are plenty of EX cards out there better than this one that you should be using in your deck.

Klefki -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Klefki Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Klefki from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Klefki is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 60, it has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Klefki's Ability is called Secret Key and says that each of your fairy Pokemon's resistance is now 40.  Besides the Ability, Klefki just has one move called Fairy Lock, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fairy and colorless, and does 30 damage, plus it makes your opponent unable to retreat during their next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Klefki is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, I would highly recommend using at least one of these Klefki cards if you're building a fairy type deck, all you would have to do is sit this card on your bench the whole game to utilize its Ability and if you're facing for example darkness type Pokemon, which many fairy type Pokemon are resistant to, you can reduce 40 from their attacks.  But I would go even further with this Klefki card and recommend using more than one of these in a deck so you can use Klefki in the starter Pokemon spot.  All you have to do is put two energy cards on Klefki and it can do 30 damage a turn which will knock out most Basic Pokemon in two turns.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  There really isn't anything I dislike about this card.  It has an average HP and retreat cost, a very good Ability if you're using a fairy type deck, and a good move, albeit a tad slow, but definitely a worthy move.  So if you're building a fairy type deck, I would recommend giving this Klefki card a long, hard look.

Sylveon -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Sylveon Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sylveon from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Sylveon is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sylveon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that it has is called Curly Ribbon and for one fairy type energy card this move does 30 damage plus it allows you to move one of your opponent's energy cards from their active Pokemon to one of their benched Pokemon.  Sylveon's second move is called Echoed Voice, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one fairy, and does 50 damage, however, the next turn if you decide to use Echoed Voice the move does 100 damage instead of 50.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sylveon is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Eevee into play and then evolve Eevee into Sylveon.  I actually have not reviewed Eevee from this set yet because it is a colorless type card, so in this section I will just assume Eevee is an average card and that you are basically going to have to use that card in order to use Sylveon.  So looking at this Sylveon card, you can basically use Eevee as a starter type Pokemon because just like the Leafeon card from this set, you can use Sylveon right away by only using one energy card and doing 30 damage.  So that is what I would recommend doing, get Sylveon into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible, use Curly Ribbon the first turn or two, then Echoed Voice every turn after that.  This Pokemon line definitely deserves consideration in your deck, and if you do decide to use this line, I would use a 1-1 or 2-2 line.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average to slightly above average Stage 1 Pokemon card.  I like how this Sylveon card has two moves, both are pretty decent.  The only thing holding this card back from a higher rating is that neither move that Sylveon has can for sure do more than 50 damage a turn.  I know Echoed Voice can do 100 damage a turn the second time using it, but it may be too late if you're facing a really powerful Pokemon.  With that being said, if you're building a fairy type deck, you can't really go wrong with this card and you should definitely consider using it.

Clefable -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Clefable Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Clefable from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Clefable is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Clefable does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Follow Me, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to switch your opponent's active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.  Clefable's second move is called Moonblast, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fairy and colorless, and does 30 damage, plus any damage done to Clefable during your opponent's next turn is reduced by 30.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Clefable is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Clefairy into play (there are two Clefairy cards in this set and I've reviewed both of them the past two days) and then evolve Clefairy into Clefable.  If you read the past two reviews I've done on Clefairy, you'll know that I thought both cards from this set were average.  I actually preferred the 1st of the two Clefairy cards slightly more because that card had two moves and could do more damage.  So knowing this about the two Clefairy cards from this set and looking at this Clefable card, if you're building a fairy type deck, I would definitely recommend taking a look at this Pokemon family and even using a 2-2 line of these Pokemon.  I would recommend getting this line into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and using Moonblast when you evolve Clefairy into Clefable.  And more than likely early in the game your opponent may not be able to do more than 30 damage so if you use Moonblast your opponent won't do any damage to you at all.  If you can't get this line into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, I would stick put two energy cards on Clefable on the bench and then when it is moved to the active Pokemon spot you could use Follow Me first to get a weaker Pokemon of your opponent's in the active Pokemon spot then use Moonblast after that.

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 Furious Fists set.  This card doesn't really have anything that stands out, but I like everything on this card quite a bit, and a lot of little things that I liked added up to make this card an above average card.  I really like how Clefable can move whatever Pokemon of your opponent's it wants into the active Pokemon spot and how Moonblast reduces damage done to Clefable by 30.  Overall, I would give the line of Clefairy and Clefable from this set a 4 out of 5 rating, individually I gave both Clefairy cards a 3 and Clefable a 4.

Clefairy #70/111 -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Clefairy Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Clefairy from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second Clefairy I've reviewed on my blog in two days.  This Clefairy is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Clefairy does not have an Ability and only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Moonblast, this move requires one fairy type energy card and does 10 damage, plus if your opponent attacks Clefairy during their next turn, damage is reduced by 10.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Clefairy is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Clefable, 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, but I will compare both Clefairy cards during this post.  So, on its own I could see using this card as a starter type Pokemon in a deck because it is quick to attack only requiring one energy card to attack and doing not only damage but reducing damage from your opponent's attack.  Because it only has one move I wouldn't put more than 1 of these in a deck.  So basically strategy wise, I would get this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, put one energy card on it and use Moonblast every turn.  Then once you get a benched Pokemon set up, move Clefairy to your bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  This card is solid overall, having a good HP, low retreat cost, and an average move.  Even though I gave both Clefairy cards from this set a 3 out of 5 rating, I would definitely recommending using yesterday's Clefairy card more than today's card, that card can do more damage and has two moves instead of one.

Clefairy #69/111 -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Clefairy Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Clefairy from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Clefairy cards I'll be reviewing.  This Clefairy is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Clefairy does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Moonlight, for one colorless energy card this move heals 30 damage from Clefairy.  Clefairy's second move is called Pound, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fairy and colorless, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Clefairy is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Clefable, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet and I haven't even reviewed the second Clefairy card from this set yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution and that I do not know which Clefairy card from this set is better.  So, on its own I could definitely see this card being used as a starter type Pokemon in a fairy type deck.  I would try and get this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, get two energy cards on it, then use Pound most turns, then when Clefairy is close to being knocked out use Moonlight.  The advantage with this card is that you only need two energy cards to use it and this card will give plenty of time to get the benched Pokemon set up and ready to be used.  Because this card can only do 20 damage maximum, I wouldn't include more than two of these in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  There really isn't anything that I dislike about this card.  It has an average HP and retreat cost, and two good moves.  This card can work well in a deck as a starter type Pokemon and should definitely be considered anytime anyone is building a fairy type deck.

Pangoro -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Pangoro Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pangoro from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Pangoro is a stage 1, darkness type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Pangoro does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Clobber and for two energy cards, one each of darkness and colorless, this move does 30 damage plus if you discard an item card from your hand the move does 40 more damage.  Pangoro's second move is called Hammer Arm, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one darkness, and does 80 damage, plus you can discard the top card of your opponent's deck.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pangoro is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get one of the two Pancham cards from this set into play (I reviewed both from this set a few weeks back) and then evolve Pancham into Pangoro.  If you read those reviews you'll know that I thought both Pancham cards were pretty poor, so if you had to choose one of them, when using with Pangoro, I would go with the one numbered 59/111 because at least you can evolve Pancham immediately when you get it into the active Pokemon spot.  So knowing that both of the Pancham cards from this set aren't good, I wouldn't recommend too many of these Pokemon in a deck.  At most, I would only include a 1-1 line of Pancham and Pangoro.  I would set up Pancham on the bench, get three energy cards on it, move it to the active Pokemon spot and evolve it immediately into Pangoro, or hopefully you were able to evolve it on the bench.  Then I would use Hammer Arm every single turn.

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 Furious Fists set.  This card has a well above average HP, and two average to above average moves.  I really like Pangoro's Hammer Arm move since it does below average damage plus it discards one of your opponent's cards in their deck.  However, this card does have a high retreat cost and neither of the Pancham cards in this set are very good.  So overall, I would give Pancham and Pangoro from this set a 3 out of 5 rating.
