Klink -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Klink from the Steam Siege set.  Klink is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with a HP of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Klink does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Disorderly Flip and for one metal energy card this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when flipping 4 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Klink is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Klang, and a Stage 2 evolution in Klinklang, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of 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 Klink does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, unless you are using 4 Trick Coin trainer cards, there really isn't a reason to use this card in a deck, since it has a lower HP, higher retreat cost, and its only move is based off of coin flips.  If you can for sure attach a Trick Coin trainer to this card as the starter Pokemon in your deck, 30 or 40 damage a turn with Disorderly Flip can really do a lot against weaker Basic Pokemon.  If you're using a full set of Trick Coin trainers, I could potentially see using 1 of these Klink cards.

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 from the Steam Siege Pokemon card set.  The only reason this card gets better than a 1 out of 5 rating is for its potential to do up to 40 damage per turn for only one energy card.  Outside of that, this card has a low HP and a high retreat cost, and just isn't that great overall.

Klink -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Klink from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Klink is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to pyschic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Klink does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Rigidify which requires one colorless energy card and reduces any damage done to Klink during your opponent's next turn by 20.  Klink's second move is called Vice Grip, this move does 20 damage for two energy cards, one each of metal and colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Klink is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Klang and a stage 2 evolution in Klinklang, 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, Klink would be a very average starter Pokemon card to use in a deck.  This card does have two moves the first being a solely defensive move, so if you get this card in your hand to start the game you could definitely use it immediately in the active Pokemon spot, by preventing damage done by your opponent, Klink should last awhile in the active Pokemon spot thus allowing you more time to set up your benched Pokemon.  So if you get this card in the active Pokemon spot to start the game I would recommend using Rigidify every turn if the defending Pokemon cannot do more than 20 damage, if it can do more than 20 damage I would use Rigidify until Klink gets two energy cards on it then use Vice Grip.  I would consider using this card in a metal type deck, and would use up to two cards in that deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  I like that this card has an average hp, and two moves.  I don't like that Klink's first move doesn't do any damage or that its retreat cost is two colorless energy cards.  But overall this card is quite average and will definitely not hurt a deck if this card is in it.

Klink -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Klink from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Klink is a basic, metal type Pokemon card, with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Klink does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Reckless Charge, this move requires two energy cards, one each of metal and colorless, and does 30 damage, however it also does 10 damage to Klink itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Klink has a stage 1 evolution in Klang, and a stage 2 evolution in Klinklang, I would recommend including both those two Pokemon in a deck with Klink.  However, the strategy here won't consider using Klink with its two evolutions because I have not reviewed them yet because they are not in this set, but in the Plasma Storm set.  So if you wanted to use Klink as a basic Pokemon card alone in a deck, I would not recommend it.  Klink has a low hp and will easily get knocked out.  If you do decide to put Klink in a deck on its own, you'll have no choice but to use Reckless Charge when you get two energy cards on this card.  You better hope that you can get Klink in the active Pokemon spot very early in the game and are facing a weak opposing Pokemon, otherwise Klink will be knocked out in no time.  As you can tell, I would not recommend using Klink in any type deck on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very below average basic Pokemon card and a basic Pokemon card that should not be used on its own in a deck.  This card is on the same level as the Skarmory card I reviewed a couple of days ago, it is extremely bad.  This card has a very low hp, high retreat cost, and even though this card does do 30 damage, it does 10 damage to itself every time it uses its own move, so it will make Klink's 40 hp seem even lower.  Plus, this card has to have two energy cards to attack, so again, do not use this card in your deck.
