Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Murkrow from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set. Murkrow is a Basic, Darkness type Pokemon card with a HP of 70. It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost. Murkrow does not have an Ability and it only has one move. Murkrow's only move is called Whirlwind, for one Darkness Energy card this move does 10 damage, plus your opponent must switch their Active Pokemon with one of their Benched Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Murkrow is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Honchkrow, 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, if you're building a spread attack type deck, this card would work well in that type of deck. You could use this card as a starter Pokemon in that type of deck, get 10 damage on all of your opponent's Pokemon, then move something a little more powerful into the Active Pokemon spot. Although this card makes a good starter type Pokemon, later in games, this card won't be too effective, since your opponent could end up moving a more powerful Pokemon from their Bench to their Active Pokemon spot without having to discard any Energy cards for retreating.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Honchkrow, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall. I like the fact that this card has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and a quick attacking move, that not only does damage but it spreads damage around. Although limited, I think this card works well as a starter type Pokemon in either a Darkness or spread attack type deck.
