Litwick -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litwick from the Guardians Rising set.  Litwick is a Basic, Fire type Pokemon card with a HP of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to Water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Litwick does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Flickering Flames, for one Fire Energy card this move does 10 damage plus puts the defending Pokemon to Sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litwick is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Lampent, and a Stage 2 evolution in Chandelure, 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 Litwick does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, if you can increase the HP of Litwick or can get it in the Active Pokemon spot to start the game, this is a solid card overall since it can attack for only one Energy card, and potentially give you extra time to set up your Bench Pokemon while the defending Pokemon is Asleep.  However, if you're looking to use this card without doing either of those two things, I would pass on this card, since it is limited by having only one move and has a below average HP for a Basic Pokemon.

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 Guardians Rising set.  Like I stated above, the main thing holding this card down is its low HP, other than that, this card has a good move and low retreat cost, so while I wouldn't recommend using many of these in a deck, it does make a good start to the line if you're planning on evolving Litwick into Lampent, or need time at the beginning of the game to set up your Bench Pokemon.

Litwick -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litwick from the Steam Siege set.  Litwick is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an HP of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Litwick does not have an Ability and it only has one move, this move is called Slightly Simmer and for one colorless energy card this move allows you to search your deck for up to 2 cards and discard them.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litwick is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Lampent, and a Stage 2 evolution in Chandelure, 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 Litwick does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, unless you specifically have a need for a move like this, something that needs energy cards to be on the top of the discard pile, then this card is a perfect card to use, otherwise, there is really no use for this card in a deck since it can't attack.

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 main reason that I'm giving this card a below average rating is because it can't do any damage when attacking.  But, if you know you have a Pokemon you want to use that's move requires energy cards or certain other cards to be on the top of the discard pile, this is a great card to use, and I would definitely use one for that deck.  So, overall, this card is below average, but it can be a very good card, it just depends on what you need in your deck.

Litwick -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litwick from the Phantom Forces set.  Litwick is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Litwick does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Trip Over, for one psychic energy card this move does 10 damage plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litwick is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Lampent and a stage 2 evolution in Chandelure, 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, if you attach a Trick Coin tool card to this card, this card isn't bad at all, you can do 20 damage most turns for only one energy card.  However, if you don't get this card into the active Pokemon spot early and the game and you aren't using this card with its evolutions, this card is quite limited in what it can do and has too low of an HP to be able to last long late in games.  Because of this, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, and if you choose to, definitely don't use more than one of these 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 Phantom Forces set.  This card is just too limited in my opinion to be used in a deck on its own.  I like that this card can attack for only one energy card and potentially can do 20 damage a turn, but with a lower HP and only the one move, this card just shouldn't be used often or at all in many decks out there.  Definitely consider other Psychic type Pokemon cards before this one when building a deck.

Litwick -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litwick from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Litwick is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Litwick does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Singe, this move requires one fire energy card and burns the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Litwick's second move is called Live Coal, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litwick is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Lampent and a stage 2 evolution in Chandelure, 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, this card wouldn't be one to use in a deck on its own.  I say this because Litwick's quickest move, Singe, requires some luck to actually burn the defending Pokemon and then if you do burn the defending Pokemon it requires another coin flip to see if the burn will actually do damage.  Live Coal is an average move, but I would have preferred something a bit better from Litwick's first move, so without using either Lampent or Chandelure with this card I cannot recommend using it on its own.  If you do have this card in your fire type deck, you'll want to get this card into the active Pokemon spot early and then use Live Coal most turns unless you're facing a Pokemon with a high hp or if you're going to be knocked out the next turn, if either of these things are true I would recommend using Singe over Live Coal.

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.  Even though this card has average hp, a low retreat cost, and two moves, I'm still giving this card a below average rating because neither of Litwick's moves are very good, and the move that really matters on a basic/starter Pokemon card like this is the one that requires one energy card, and Singe is definitely below average so that is the main reason why I'm giving this card a below average rating.
