Meloetta -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Meloetta BREAKthrough Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meloetta from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Meloetta is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 90, it has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Meloetta does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Accelerating Spin, for one colorless energy card, this move allows you to attach two fighting type energy cards from your discard pile to Meloetta, then switch Meloetta with one of your benched Pokemon.  Meloetta's second move is called Prima Rondo, for three energy cards, two colorless and one fighting, this move does 60 damage plus 50 more damage if this card has an psychic energy attached to it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Meloetta 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 time when you would want to use this card in a deck is if you're building a dual type deck of psychic and fighting, that way, you can do 110 damage per turn with Meloetta for three energy cards.  So you'll want to keep this card on the bench until you get three energy cards on it, or move it into the active Pokemon spot later in the game, use Accelerating Spin one turn, getting two more energy cards on it, then wait until even later in the game to use it.  So like I said, if you're building a psychic and fighting type deck and need some power, this is definitely a card I would consider, especially if you attach a Fighting Fury Belt trainer card to this card, its HP will increase by 40 and its attack by 10 since it is a Basic Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card that becomes well above average if used in a psychic and fighting type deck.  You can't go wrong doing 110 damage per turn for three energy cards, but because this card is a Basic Pokemon, it is slow on the attack, making this card average overall, but still a solid card to use in a deck.

Meloetta EX Full Art -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Meloetta EX Full Art Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meloetta EX Full Art from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Meloetta EX is a basic, EX, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Meloetta card is actually part of the Radiant Collection subset.  Meloetta EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Brilliant Voice, for two colorless energy cards, this move does 20 damage, plus when you flip a coin, the defending Pokemon is asleep if you get a heads, it is confused if you get a tails.  Meloetta's second move is called Round, this move requires three psychic energy cards, and does 30 damage times the number of your Pokemon that have the Round attack.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Meloetta 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, and seeing that the main move on this card Round, requires other Pokemon in your deck to have that move, you'll want to include more than one of these EX cards in your deck if you have Meloetta in it.  There are 5 other Pokemon cards in the current format that have Round on it, this includes Meloetta EX but not Meloetta EX Full Art, so you should have some of those Pokemon in this deck as well.  So if you use this card in your deck, you'll want to have multiple in your deck, and make sure to have at least 3 to 5 cards in your deck that know the Round move, that way you can put those Pokemon on your bench, and when you have enough energy cards to attack with one of them, move that Pokemon into play and use their Round move.  I personally would not recommend using this card in a deck, not only is it a weak Pokemon card, but it is even weaker as an EX Pokemon card.  I don't think having a bunch of Pokemon in your deck that know Round is a very good idea.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average EX Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures and Radiant Collection subset.  Neither move on this card is very good, and in order for this card to be useful at all it needs to be combined with other Pokemon that know the Round move which definitely makes this card even more undesirable to use.
