Furfrou -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Furfrou from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Furfrou is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 90, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Furfrou does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Tight Jaw, for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.  Furfrou's second move is called Sharp Fang, this move requires three colorless energy cards to use and does 50 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Furfrou 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, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, mainly because Furfrou is fairly slow on the attack and neither move it has is that great.  If you do choose to use this card in a deck, you can fit it into any type deck since it can use any energy cards you like.  I would try to get this card into the active Pokemon spot early in the game so you can do 20 damage or 50 damage a turn with either of Furfrou's moves.  Later on in the game, it may make more sense to do only 20 damage if you can paralyze the defending Pokemon and make them unable to attack Furfrou during their next turn.  Again, though, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.

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 does have a good HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, but overall it just isn't that great of a card to use in a deck.  Both of the moves this card has are below average, and I think it would hurt your deck more to use this card in it, than it would to leave it out.

Fletchling -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fletchling from the Phantom Forces set. Fletchling is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Fletchling does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Peck, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage.  Fletchling's second move is called Quick Attack, for two colorless energy cards this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads it does 20 more damage, for a possible total of 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Fletchling is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Fletchinder and a stage 2 evolution in Talonflame, which I've reviewed in the past since both Pokemon are fire type, I would recommend you go and read the reviews I have written for those two Pokemon.  To summarize, I thought Fletchinder was a bit below average because even though it had two good moves, its HP was a little low, but I did give Talonflame an above average, it had two excellent moves overall, but again had a little lower HP, but I still recommended the line favorably.  So this post is just going to assume I hadn't reviewed those two Pokemon yet and consider Fletchling on its own.  So on its own, if you really need one more Basic Pokemon card in your deck this card could definitely be used because it can attack quickly and it can do a fair amount of damage, if you're lucky, for only two energy cards.  This card runs into the same problem as the other two Pokemon in this line in that its HP is a bit too low, thus making me a little more weary of using the card in a deck on its own, but it would be a fine start to using this entire line if you choose to do that.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Other than having a bit lower HP than desired, this card is pretty good, since it can fit into any deck, can do 10 damage right away for only one energy card, and can do up to 30 damage with Quick Attack for only two energy cards.  So this card is definitely worth a look when building a deck.

Diggersby -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Diggersby from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Diggersby is a stage 1, 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.  Diggersby does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Smithereen Smash, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, your opponent must discard an energy card attached to their active Pokemon.  Diggersby's second move is called Earthquake, for three colorless energy cards, this move does 80 damage, however it does do 10 damage to each of your own benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Diggersby is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Bunnelby into play (I reviewed Bunnelby from this set yesterday) and then evolve Bunnelby into Diggersby.  If you read yesterday's review of Bunnelby, you'll know that I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card, mainly because it was limited in what it could do, with it only being able to do 10 damage per turn, or if you wanted to put three energy cards on it, it could do a very poor 30 damage.  So knowing this about Bunnelby and looking at this Diggersby card, this line of Pokemon wouldn't be a bad line to include into any type deck if you use a 1-1 line.  You could get Bunnelby into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, do 10 damage right away, then quickly evolve Bunnelby into Diggersby, using Smithereen Smash the first time, or any time 30 damage will knock out the defending Pokemon, and Earthquake after that.  If you do use Earthquake quite a bit, you'll want to make sure to figure out a way to quickly remove damage from your benched Pokemon, and I know some Pokemon cards in the Primal Clash set will do this for you.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  This card does have an above average HP, and two moves, but both are pretty average unless you can quickly remove damage from your benched Pokemon, if you can do this, I would give Diggersby a 4 rating.  However, together with Bunnelby from this set, I think both cards are average, and would definitely recommend considering these two cards when building a deck.

Bunnelby -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bunnelby from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Bunnelby is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Bunnelby does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  Its first move is called Tackle, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.  Bunnelby's second move is called Mud Shot, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bunnelby is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Diggersby, 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 I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck, just because it is limited in what I would want to do with it.  I could definitely see myself using this card if its first move stayed the same, but Mud Shot required two energy cards instead of three, but since it does require three, and I'm not using this card with Diggersby, I would never want to put three energy cards on this card only to do 30 damage.  So I would not recommend using this card, but if you choose to use it, just put one energy on this card and use Tackle every turn, don't waste your energy to do only 30 damage a turn, when many Pokemon out there can do 60 or more damage for only three energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Diggersby, this card is a below average Basic Pokemon card.  Everything is actually pretty average on this card, its HP, its low retreat cost, and its two moves, but Mud Shot just seems like it will never be used on this card because of its high attack cost, so that is why I am giving this card a below average rating.

Regigigas -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Regigigas from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Regigigas is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 130, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  Regigigas does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Daunt, for three colorless energy cards this move does 80 damage, plus any damage done by your opponent during their next turn is reduced by 40.  Regigigas's second move is called Heavy Impact, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 100 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Regigigas 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, if you're looking to add major power to your deck, look no further than this Regigigas card.  Do not use more than one of these however, since the card has massively high costs to attack and to retreat.  So you'll want to set this card up on your bench and get four energy cards on it, then when in the active Pokemon spot, use Heavy Impact the turns where you can knock the defending Pokemon out by doing 100 damage, the other turns, where 100 damage won't knock the defending Pokemon out, use Daunt so that the defending Pokemon's attack is reduced by 40, and Regigigas can last another turn.

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 Phantom Forces set.  This card has two great moves in my opinion that both can do major damage.  The only things holding this card back from a 5 rating is its very high retreat cost, and the fact the quickest move Regigigas has requires three energy cards, so this card definitely takes a while to set up.

Exploud -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Exploud from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Exploud is a stage 2, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Exploud does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Boomburst, for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon.  Exploud's second move is called Hyper Voice, this move does 90 damage for four colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Exploud is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Whismur into play and then evolve it into Loudred before you can evolve Loudred into Exploud, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that Whismur was a very poor card only being able to confuse the defending Pokemon, while also confusing itself, but I did like Loudred quite a bit since its main attack could do 30 damage plus 30 more damage for each energy card your opponent's active Pokemon had on it.  So knowing this about Whismur and Loudred and looking at this Exploud card, I would definitely recommend using this entire Pokemon line if you're looking to add some power to your deck late in the game.  Like I mentioned in yesterday's post, you'll want to set up Loudred on the bench and get three energy cards on it, you could then move it to the active Pokemon spot when the defending Pokemon has at least 3 energy cards on it, then when you knock out that Pokemon, if the Pokemon your opponent puts in has less than 3 energy cards on it, evolve Loudred into Exploud and either spread damage around with Boomburst, or knock it out with Hyper Voice.  So this line of Pokemon could easily be used in either a spread damage type deck, or just to add some power to one.  Because Whismur is very poor, I wouldn't use more than a 1-1-1 line of this Pokemon family.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  First off I like how this card fits into any deck since it is a colorless type card, and that both moves on this card can do a fair amount of damage.  The only thing on this card I'm not a fan of is its retreat cost, but it is still less than the amount of energy required to do Hyper Voice.  Altogether, I would give the line of Whismur, which I gave a 1 rating, Loudred, and Exploud a 4 out of 5 rating, Loudred and Exploud make this line very good, and it should definitely be considered when building any type deck.

Loudred -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Loudred from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card set.  Loudred is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Loudred does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Pound, for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage.  Loudred's second move is called Energy Press, this move requires three colorless energy cards to use and does 30 damage plus 30 more damage for each energy card attached to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Loudred is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Whismur into play (I reviewed Whismur from this set yesterday) and then evolve Whismur into Loudred.  Loudred does have a stage 2 evolution in Exploud that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Loudred is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read yesterday's review of Whismur, you'll know that I thought that card was very poor, mainly due to the fact it didn't have an attack that did any damage, the only move it did have confused both Whismur and the defending Pokemon.  So knowing this about Whismur and looking at this Loudred card, I would definitely consider using this card in a deck because of Energy Press, but because Whismur is so bad, I would have no problem setting up this line on the bench, thus having the need to only use a 1-1 line of Whismur and Loudred in any type deck.  The reason I would recommend setting Loudred up on the bench would be for one to get three energy cards on it, and for two, letting your opponent get their Pokemon set up, so if they have a really powerful Pokemon in play, let's say a Pokemon that uses four energy cards to attack, as long as it can't do more than 80 damage in one turn, I would move Loudred into the active Pokemon spot and use Energy Press, being able to do 150 damage a turn and more than likely knocking out most Stage 2 Pokemon in one turn.  The only time I would use Pound is if I didn't have enough energy cards to use Energy Press.  So not only can Energy Press do major damage, but it could also prevent your opponent from putting too many energy cards on their Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  I am basing this solely on its Energy Press move as this move can do major damage for not that many energy cards.  Other than that move, this card is pretty average, with its HP, retreat cost, and other move.  So together with Whismur, which only received a 1 rating from me, I am giving these two Pokemon combined a 3 rating, as long as you don't have to use Whismur, this line in fine to use in a deck.

Whismur -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Whismur from the Phantom Forces set. Whismur is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Whismur does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that it has is called Screaming Fit, for one colorless energy card this move confuses both Whismur and the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Whismur is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Loudred and a stage 2 evolution in Exploud, 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, I would highly recommend avoiding this card at all costs.  Not only can this card do no damage at all, the only move it does has, confuses Whismur, and if you don't plan on evolving Whismur into Loudred there is no reason to use Whismur at all since it cannot attack.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor Basic Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  This is probably one of the worst cards from the Phantom Forces set if you're looking for a Basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.  Not only can this card do no damage at all, but it confuses itself in the process.  The only caveat with this card is that even though Whismur is confuses, it is not like one of its moves will backfire when using it, since it doesn't have a move that does any damage.  But again, avoid this card, and do not use this card in your deck.

Girafarig -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Girafarig from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Girafarig is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 90, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Girafarig does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move that this card has is called Tackle, for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.  Girafarig's second move is called Psybite, for three colorless energy cards, this move does 50 damage plus 30 more damage if this card has any psychic energy attached to it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Girafarig 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, if you want to use this card in a deck, make sure to use it in a Psychic type deck so you can do 80 damage a turn with Psybite.  Other than that, this card is pretty good as a starter type Pokemon, it is just a little slow, but with a high HP, you can make up for that slowness.  So I could see myself using 1 or 2 of these in a psychic type deck as a starter type Pokemon, either getting this card into the active Pokemon spot right away, doing Tackle First then Psybite after, or setting up Girafarig on the bench and then getting three energy cards on it before moving it to the active Pokemon spot.  Even though this card can do 80 damage a turn for three energy cards, it won't cost you that much to retreat it, so don't be afraid to use it later in the game too.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average Basic Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Other than being a bit slow to attack, this card has all positives on it, it has a high HP, low retreat cost, and two average to above average moves.  So if you're looking for a very strong Basic Pokemon card to use in your deck, I would definitely consider using this one, especially if you're building a Psychic type deck.

Blissey -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Blissey from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Blissey is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Blissey does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Tender Vengeance, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 10 damage times the number of damage counters on each of your benched Pokemon.  Blissey's second move is called Charge Dash, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 60 damage plus 20 more damage if you choose to do 20 damage to Blissey.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Blissey is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Chansey into play (I reviewed Chansey from this set yesterday) and then evolve Chansey into Blissey.  If you read yesterday's review of Chansey, you'll know that I thought that card was a very poor Basic Pokemon card, the main two reasons being it was very slow on the attack and the only move that could do damage on the card, may not be able to do damage at all if you don't have 7 cards in your hand.  So knowing this about Chansey and looking at this Blissey card, I would possibly include a 1-1 line of Chansey and Blissey in a deck if the deck had a lot of Pokemon that had low retreat costs or free retreat costs, that way, I could set up Blissey on the bench, get three energy cards on it, then use most of my other Pokemon first in the active Pokemon spot, retreat them for free when they are almost knocked out, then put Blissey into the active Pokemon spot and use Tender Vengeance every turn.  That would be the only scenario where I would use this line in a deck otherwise I would avoid it altogether.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  This card does have a high HP, and two decent moves that can potentially do major damage, but this card, just like Chansey is extremely slow, and both moves are below average if one you don't have a lot of damage on your benched Pokemon, or two don't want to do damage to Blissey.  So together with Chansey from this set, which I gave a 1 rating, I can only give these two cards a 2 out of 5 rating, I would avoid them almost always when building a deck.

Chansey -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Chansey from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Chansey 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 three colorless energy card retreat cost. Chansey does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  Its first move is called Nap, this move requires one colorless energy card and heals 30 damage from Chansey.  Chansey's second move is called Lucky Punch, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 100 damage if you have exactly 7 cards in your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Chansey is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Blissey, 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 I would not recommend using this card in a deck.  Even though this card has a good HP, and made even better by its first move, and this card can do 100 damage per turn, I would not recommend using it.  The main reason being that this card may end up doing zero damage for you if you don't have exactly the right amount of cards in your hand, and its retreat cost is high, so if you're using it without Blissey, you may end up wasting all of the energy you put on Chansey to retreat it.  If you do want to use this card in a deck because you think you can easily get 7 cards in your hand, with trainer cards, etc, then I would get three energy cards on Chansey on the bench and when in the active Pokemon spot use Lucky Punch every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Blissey, this card is a well below average Basic Pokemon card.  This card has a lot of positives that I mentioned in the previous section, like a high powered move, and good HP, but this card is just too slow, has too high of a retreat cost, and is too risky in my opinion to warrant use in a deck at all. so use this Chansey card at your own risk.

Fearow -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fearow from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Fearow is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Fearow does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Fly, for two colorless energy cards this move does 40 damage, however you must flip a coin when using this move, if you get a heads all effects of an attack by your opponent during their next turn are prevented, if you get a tails, Fly does nothing at all.  Fearow's second move is called Drill Peck and does 60 damage for three colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Fearow is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Spearow into play (I reviewed Spearow from this set yesterday) and then evolve Spearow into Fearow.  If you read yesterday's review of Spearow, you'll know that I thought that card was an average Basic Pokemon card that would move to above average if used in a spread damage type deck since the only move it had could do 10 damage for one colorless energy card, but it made the opponent switch out their active Pokemon every turn.  So knowing this about Spearow and looking at this Fearow card, I would just stick with putting one Spearow card in a spread damage type deck and not using Fearow at all.  I say this because not only Fearow not contribute to the spread damage style of Spearow, but neither move it has is that great and you for sure have to put three energy cards on Fearow to make sure and do some damage.  So I would not recommend using Fearow at all.  If you do choose to use Fearow in a deck, I wouldn't use more than a 1-1 line, and I would try and get Spearow into the active Pokemon spot early to spread damage around, then possibly retreat it, evolve it into Fearow on the bench, get three energy cards on it, then use Drill Peck every turn.  I am not a big fan of coin flip based moves, so I would avoid Fly.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Despite having an average HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, I am still giving this card a below average rating, mainly because of its two average to below average moves.  I just want something more than this when using a Stage 1 card in my deck.  So together with Spearow from this set, I can't give these two cards higher than a 2 rating.

Spearow -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Spearow is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Spearow does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that it has is called Whirlwind, this move requires one colorless energy card and 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 Spearow is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Fearow, 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 I could definitely see using this card in a deck if I were to build a spread damage type deck.  I would try and get this Spearow card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, and then get 10 damage on as many Pokemon as I could, so then I could put in a card from my deck later in the game that does let's say 40 more damage if the defending Pokemon has damage on it already, and this Spearow card should do that for us perfectly.  Outside of a spread damage type deck, this card still could be used, since it has an average HP, and a quick move, but I would not recommend using it as much.  At most, I would use one of these in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Fearow, this card is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set, that would get a slight bump in rating if you're using it in a spread damage type deck.  There really isn't anything to complain about on this card except for that it is limited in what it can do.  It has an average HP, average retreat cost, and a quick, but pretty average move.  So again, if you're building a spread damage type deck, I would give this card a hard look, otherwise, you can probably skip over the thought.

Goodra -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Goodra from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Goodra is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Goodra's Ability is called Slip Trip, and it makes it so neither player can attach a Pokemon Tool card from their hand to one of their Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Goodra just has one move called Dragon Pulse, this card requires four energy cards to use, two colorless and one each of water and fairy.  This move does 130 damage every turn, but it does force you to discard the top card of your deck when using.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Goodra is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Goomy into play and then evolve it into Sliggoo before you can evolve Sliggoo into Goodra, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were well below average Pokemon cards.  Both had below average HP, could not do damage very quickly, and in Sliggoo's case, had a very high retreat cost.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at Goodra, since Goodra is very powerful on the attack, if you're building a dual type deck of water and fairy type Pokemon, I would definitely consider using a 1-1-1 line of this Pokemon family.  That way you could set up the entire line on the bench, get four energy cards on Goodra and then move it to the active Pokemon spot to use Dragon Pulse every turn.  Using only one each of the first two Pokemon in this line, will minimize the chances of you having to actually use those Pokemon in the active Pokemon spot.  If you plan on using Goodra for quite awhile, which you should, try and find a way to move cards from your discard pile back to your deck, making Dragon Pulse that much better of a move if you don't have to technically discard anything each turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average, Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set, that is similar to the Hydreigon card I reviewed a couple of days ago, but just not as good.  I like how this card's attack is extremely strong and can be used every turn, however, this card's Ability isn't that great, especially if you like to use Tool cards in your deck, you can't really use the Ability.  Together with Goomy and Sliggoo from this set, I wouldn't highly recommend them, I would only give them a 2 out of 5 combined rating.  Both Goomy and Sliggoo are that poor, that I would really give it some thought if I wanted to use Goodra in a deck.

Sliggoo -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sliggoo from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card set.  Sliggoo is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sliggoo does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Gooey, for one colorless energy card this move heals 30 damage from Sliggoo.  Its second move is called Gentle Slap, and for three energy cards, one each of water, fairy, and colorless, this move does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sliggoo is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Goomy into play (I reviewed Goomy from this set yesterday) and then evolve Goomy into Sliggoo.  Sliggoo does have a stage 2 evolution in Goodra that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Sliggoo is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read yesterday's review of Goomy, you'll know that I though that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card.  Even though it had two moves, the only move it could attack with required two energy cards, and it had a lower HP.  So knowing this about Goomy and looking at this Sliggoo card, this Sliggoo card is almost the exact same as Goomy, just a little bit better moves because it is a Stage 1 card.  This card has a move that can heal damage from Sliggoo just like Goomy, and then another move that requires a bit more energy that can do some damage.  Because these cards are so similar and I did not like Goomy at all, I definitely don't like Sliggoo from this set and would not recommend using the first two Pokemon in this line at all, without Goodra.  If you do want to use this line in your deck, don't use more than a 1-1 line of the two Pokemon, and get these cards into the active Pokemon spot early because they have a low HP, but can heal themselves.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a well below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Just like the previous Stage 1 dragon type card I reviewed from this set, this card is very poor.  Besides having a low HP, and a very high retreat cost, neither move that this card is that good, and neither move warrants even consideration in using in a deck.  So combined with Goomy from this set which I gave a 2 rating, they would get a 1 rating combined, stay away from these two cards if you can.

Goomy -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Goomy from the Phantom Forces set. Goomy is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Goomy does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Gooey, this move heals 10 damage from Goomy, for one colorless energy card.  Goomy's second move is called Tackle, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of fairy and water, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Goomy is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Sliggoo and a stage 2 evolution in Goodra, 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, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.  I say this because Goomy has a little lower HP than I'd like and it isn't quick on the attack, requiring two energy cards to do damage, and two energy cards to retreat.  This card wouldn't be miserable to use if you had to use one in a deck, since you can heal 10 damage right away with Gooey and then use Tackle thereafter, but if you have to put this card into the active Pokemon spot later in the game, you'll be sunk.  So unless you're specifically building a fairy and water type deck, I wouldn't give this card one thought for a deck.

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.  I do like that this card has two moves on it, but that is about it, since the card has a below average HP, and a high retreat cost, plus only one of the two moves it has can do any damage.  So like I stated above, look elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon card for your deck.

Hydreigon -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hydreigon from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Hydreigon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Hydreigon's Ability is called Dark Impulse, this ability allows you to move a darkness energy card from your discard pile to your active Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Hydreigon just has one move, it is called Crazy Headbutt and for four energy cards, two colorless and one each of darkness and psychic, this move does 130 damage.  However, you must discard an energy attached to Hydreigon after using this move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hydreigon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Deino into play and then evolve it into Zweilous before you can evolve Zweilous into Hydreigon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that both cards were well below average and I could not recommend using either of them in play.  So knowing this about those two cards, this Hydreigon card really has to be good in order for me to want to use it.  And this card fits that bill, so because Deino and Zweilous are so bad, I would recommend only using a 1-1-1 line of this entire Pokemon family and setting up the line on the bench, that way once you get Hydreigon on the bench you can utilize its Ability and set up some of your other Pokemon faster.  I would move Hydreigon into the active Pokemon spot right away when it has four energy cards on it, 130 damage a turn with Crazy Headbutt will knock out every Pokemon in the TCG in two turns or less.  You can then use Crazy Headbutt one turn, then discard the darkness energy card attached to Hydreigon and retrieve it again before attacking with Hydreigon's Ability.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average, very powerful Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Even though this card only has one move and that one move requires four energy cards to use, I still really like this card, since it can basically do 130 damage every single turn.  Plus, even if this card isn't in the active Pokemon spot, its Ability can still help your deck greatly.  So even though I really like this Hydreigon card, it doesn't do much to bump up the average of all of the cards from this line combined. I can only give Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon from this set a 2 out of 5 rating, the first two Pokemon in this line are just that bad, so either find different sets to use Deino and Zweilous cards from, or only use 1 of each Pokemon from this line.

Zweilous -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zweilous from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card set.  Zweilous is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Zweilous does not have an Ability and it only has one move, the only move that this card has is called Slam, this move requires two energy cards, one each of darkness and psychic, and does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Zweilous is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Deino into play (I reviewed Deino from this set yesterday) and then evolve Deino into Zweilous.  Zweilous does have a stage 2 evolution in Hydreigon that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Zweilous is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read yesterday's review of Deino, you'll know that I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card mainly because of its low HP, and the fact the only move it had required two distinct types of energy cards and it couldn't attack for only one energy card.  So knowing this about Deino and looking at this Zweilous card, I would not recommend using this card in a deck without using Hydreigon.  I say this because Zweilous again, like Deino requires two distinct types of energy cards to attack, plus its only move, may end up doing no damage at all every single turn.  So I cannot recommend a strategy at all to use with this card because there is not a situation where I would recommend using Deino and Zweilous without using Hydreigon, and then I would set up the entire line on the bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a well below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  Besides having an average HP, everything else on this card are well below average.  Its only move may end up doing zero damage every turn, and this card requires two unique energy cards to attack, thus making this card need a pretty specific deck to use.  So combining with Deino from this set, both are below average, and would get a 1 out of 5 rating from me, stay away from both Pokemon cards.

Deino -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Deino from the Phantom Forces set. Deino is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Deino does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Gnaw Off, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of darkness and psychic, and does 20 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, it does 10 more damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Deino is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Zweilous and a stage 2 evolution in Hydreigon, 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, I would not recommend using this card in a deck since it has a lower HP, and requires two energy cards to attack, and two different energy cards at that.  So unless you're specifically building a darkness and psychic type deck, I would leave this card alone at all costs.  If you do choose to use this card in a deck, use only one on its own, and try and get it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game.  Because you are flipping the coin when using Gnaw Off, you could use Trick Coin with this card and have two chances to flip a heads so it would do 30 damage a turn instead of 20, and if you could do 30 damage a turn, you could knock out some Basic Pokemon in only two turns.

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.  The one move that Deino does have is average, but this card has too low of an HP for me to want to use, and the only move it does have requires two energy cards instead of one, so it is on the slower side.  So like I said in the previous section, unless you're building the specific dual type deck this card requires or you plan on using Zweilous and Hydreigon, do not use this card in a deck.

Diancie -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Diancie from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Diancie is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 90, it has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Diancie does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move that this card has is called Sparkle, for one fairy type energy card this move makes your opponent flip a coin before attacking next turn, if they get a tails, all effects of that attack are prevented.  Diancie's second move is called Diamond Storm, this move requires three energy cards to use, two fairy and one colorless, and does 60 damage, plus it heals 30 damage from each of your fairy type Pokemon in play.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Diancie 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, I would highly recommend using this card in a deck only if your deck is mostly a fairy type deck.  The strategy then would be to get Diancie set up on the bench, getting three energy cards on it, then use your other fairy type Pokemon in the active Pokemon spot first, get some damage on all of them, but retreat them before they feint, then move Diancie into the active Pokemon spot and use Diamond Storm every turn thus healing 30 damage from each of your fairy type Pokemon on the bench and doing 60 damage to the defending Pokemon.  If you do get this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, I would hope for the opponent to have some bad luck and get tails every time when flipping a coin, and use Sparkle every turn to try and prevent your opponent from attacking and to give you time to set up your benched 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 from the Phantom Forces set, and a slightly above average Basic Pokemon card if you're using this card in a majority fairy type deck.  This card has a good HP and low retreat cost, and two average moves, unless you have mostly fairy type cards in your deck, than Diamond Storm is a well above average move.  So like I stated in the strategy section of this post, this card will be very good in a fairy type deck and every fairy type deck out there should include this card in their deck.
