Kangaskhan -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Kangaskhan Sun and Moon Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kangaskhan from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Kangaskhan is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 130.  Kangaskhan has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Kangaskhan does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Cross-Cut, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if the defending Pokemon is an Evolution Pokemon.  Kangaskhan's second move is called Hurricane Punch, for four Colorless Energy cards this move does 50 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 4 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kangaskhan is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Kangaskhan.  So knowing this, this card is similar to the Fearow card from yesterday, you can just put one Energy card on Kangaskhan on the Bench then if the defending Pokemon is a Pokemon other than a Basic Pokemon you can move Kangaskhan into the Active Pokemon spot and do 60 damage per turn with Cross-Cut.  If you have a Trick Coin Trainer in your deck and some Double Colorless Energy cards, you could easily use Hurricane Punch for potentially 200 damage per turn.  Because you can set up Kangaskhan up on the Bench to use Cross-Cut and the fact Hurricane Punch requires so many Energy cards to use, I would recommend only using 1 of these in a deck, unless your set on using this card as a starter type Pokemon, then you could certainly use 4.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I mentioned above, there are a couple of different strategies to use with this card, since it can do major damage with both moves it has.  This card can also fit into any type deck out there as a starter type Pokemon doing 30 damage for only one Energy card.  Really, the only downside to this card is its high retreat cost, so you'll want to use a Switch Trainer to retreat it for free.

Kangaskhan -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Kangaskhan Fates Collide Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kangaskhan from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  Kangaskhan is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 120, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Kangaskhan does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Tiny Punch, for two colorless energy cards this move does 40 damage.  Mega Punch is Kangaskhan's second move and for four colorless energy cards it does 100 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kangaskhan 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, the only way I would recommend using this card in a deck is if you already plan on using 4 Double Colorless energy cards.  That way you can turn Kangaskan's slow moves into quick, powerful attacks!  You really can't beat only two energy cards doing 100 damage a turn.  If you aren't using Double Colorless energy cards in a deck, I would look elsewhere for Basic Pokemon to use.  You potentially could use this card as a starter type Pokemon, but since Tiny Punch requires less energy cards than it does to retreat Kangaskhan, it doesn't make sense to use as a starter type Pokemon either.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Fates Collide set.  I do like that this card has a high HP, and two somewhat powerful moves, but this card is very slow on the attack and has a high retreat cost making this card somewhat worse than other cards out there.

Kangaskhan -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Kangaskhan Plasma Blast Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kangaskhan from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Kankaskhan is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Kangaskhan does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Call for Family, for one colorless energy card, this move allows you to search for 2 basic Pokemon from your deck and put them onto your bench.  Kangaskan's second move is called Comet Punch, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip four coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kangaskhan 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, you not only can use this card on its own, but in any type deck since it requires only colorless energy cards to attack.  I would definitely consider using 1 to 2 of these cards in a deck.  I would try and get this card into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and use Call for Family the first turn to get basic Pokemon on your bench, and then all other turns I would use Comet Punch.  More than likely you'll get at least 1 heads out of 4 coin flips, so this move should do average damage at the worst.

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 Plasma Blast set.  I like that this card has a solid hp, and two good moves.  Usually I don't like the Call for Family moves, but this move should help you out early in games and since Kangaskhan is a colorless type Pokemon the fact it can use any energy card makes this move more desirable.  I really like Comet Punch, because at worst it is an average move, at best it can knock out most basic Pokemon in one move.  So if you're looking for 1 or 2 more Pokemon cards to put in your 60 card deck, this one should definitely be considered.
