Bunnelby 121/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bunnelby from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of the two Bunnelby cards I've reviewed from this 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 two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Bunnelby card does have an Ancient Trait called Barrage that says Bunnelby may attack twice in a row, even if the defending Pokemon is knocked out.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Bunnelby has two moves, the first is called Burrow and for one colorless energy card this move allows you to discard the top card of your opponent's deck.  Bunnelby's second move is called Rototiller, this move also requires one colorless energy card and allows you to shuffle a card from your discard pile back into your deck.

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've reviewed previously, if you read my review of Diggersby, you'll know that I thought it had a good HP and one good move, albeit slow, but that it had a high retreat cost, making the card below average overall.  So knowing this about Diggersby and also knowing that the previous Bunnelby card from this set I gave a 2 out of 5 rating, mainly because it only had one move and it was a slower, coin flip based move at that, this card will have to be much better than both of those cards to warrant use.  However, the first thing you'll notice with this card is that it can't do any damage, both moves it has, affect the discard pile or deck, so both moves have their use, but I don't know if I would make Bunnelby a mainstay in any deck that I would build.  I would much rather use Trainer cards similar to each of Bunnelby's moves in a deck, therefore leaving the active Pokemon spot for a Pokemon that does damage.  So overall, comparing the two Bunnelby cards from this set, neither are great, yesterday's does do some damage so that is the Bunnelby I would recommend, if you want to get fancy in your deck and basically recycle cards, this Bunnelby card could be used and Rototiller would be the main move used.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card is definitely unique in what it can do, plus both moves it does have require only one colorless energy making this card quick and versatile.  But overall, this card isn't that great in my opinion, it can't do any damage and neither move it has is that great.  So again, rating the entire Pokemon family of Bunnelby and Diggersby from the Primal Clash set, I would give them a 2 out of 5 rating, there are much better cards to use out there.

Bunnelby 120/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bunnelby from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Bunnelby cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Bunnelby is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Bunnelby card does not have an Ability or Ancient Trait and it only has one move.  The one move that it has is called Trip Over, for two colorless energy cards, this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin it does 30 more 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've reviewed previously, I'll first look at this card as how good it is on its own then see if it would be wise to use this card and Diggersby together.  So looking at this card on its own, I would not recommend using this in a deck, I say this because the one move Bunnelby does have is a little slower and if you don't use Diggersby with this card, the retreat cost is pretty high.  The only way I would consider using this card is as a starter type Pokemon while having a Trick Coin card attached to it, that way you would have two chances at getting a heads when flipping a coin and being able to do 40 damage a turn instead of 10.  When I reviewed Diggersby from this set, I thought pretty much the same thing about that card, Diggersby had a good HP and one good move, albeit slow, but that card also had a high retreat cost, so unless you're really in love with this Pokemon family, I would recommend looking elsewhere for some colorless type Pokemon to use in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card has some positives like its high HP, and the fact it can potentially do 40 damage a turn, but the negatives outweigh the positives on this card, like the high retreat cost, and the potential to do only 10 damage per turn when attacking.  Combined with Diggersby from this set, I can only give these two cards a 2 out of 5 rating, the same each card received individually.

Bouffalant -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bouffalant from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Bouffalant is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 110, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Bouffalant's Ability is called Sap Sipper and says that this Pokemon's attacks does 40 more damage against grass type Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Bouffalant just has one move called Derail, this move requires three colorless energy cards to use and does 80 damage, plus you may discard a special energy card if there is one attached to your opponent's active Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bouffalant 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, you may want to add one of these cards to your deck if you have an inclination that your opponent will be using some grass type Pokemon in their deck because if they do, get Bouffalant set up as quickly as possible and then move it to the active Pokemon spot to do 120 damage per turn.  Even if you aren't facing a grass type Pokemon, Derail still is a well above average move, so if you need some power in your deck, don't be afraid to use this card.

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 Primal Clash set.  Other than being slow on the attack, this card is pretty excellent, it has an above average HP, decent retreat cost, and a very powerful move that is even more powerful against grass type Pokemon, being a colorless type Pokemon and fitting into any type deck, will make this card pretty usable in many decks out there.

Bibarel -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bibarel from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Bibarel is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Bibarel does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is Yawn, for one colorless energy card this move puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.  Bibarel's second move is called Continuous Headbutt, this move requires three colorless energy cards to use and does 80 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip a coin until you get tails.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bibarel is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Bidoof into play (I reviewed both Bidoof cards from this set the past two days) and then evolve Bidoof into Bibarel.  If you've read my reviews of the Bidoof cards from this set, you'll know that I wasn't the hugest fan of either Bidoof from this set.  Of the two cards, the second one I reviewed, 117/160, was the better of the two, it could do up to 40 damage a turn if used in a water energy type deck for only two energy cards.  So knowing this about the Bidoof cards in this set and looking at Bibarel, I wouldn't recommend using this entire line in any type deck.  I say this because neither Bidoof from this set is that great and you don't want to pair a below average Basic Pokemon card with another below average Stage 1 Pokemon card.  My biggest concern with this Bibarel card is that it may end up doing zero damage every single turn just because Continuous Headbutt relies on coin flips, plus Bibarel is slow on the attack and has a high retreat cost.  So if you're looking to build a deck that includes some colorless type Pokemon in it, look elsewhere, Bibarel isn't up to the job.

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 Primal Clash set.  This card has some positives about it like its high HP and the fact it has two moves.  But that is where the positives end, Bibarel has too high of a retreat cost for my liking, is too slow on the attack, and when attacking, there is no guarantee that it can even do damage.  So combined with the better of the two Bidoof cards from this set, I would give this entire line a 2 out of 5 rating, you can find better Pokemon to use than these.

Bidoof 117/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bidoof from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of the two Bidoof cards that I've reviewed from this set.  Bidoof is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Bidoof card does have an Ancient Trait called Recovery that says when Bidoof is healed, double the amount healed.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Bidoof just has one move called Drench, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use, and does 20 plus 20 more damage if Bidoof has any water energy attached to it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bidoof is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Bibarel, 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 but I will be comparing both Bidoof cards in this post.  So taking a look at this specific Bidoof card, you could use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a deck if you're building a water type deck, that way you can do 40 damage a turn for only two energy cards.  If you're not using Bidoof in a water type deck, neither Bidoof card from this set is that great of an option, I would much rather keep Bidoof on the bench and evolve it into Bibarel there.  If you are building a water type deck, I would use up to two of these cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Bibarel, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card is the better of the two Bidoof cards in this set, but not by much.  I would avoid both Bidoof cards if possible but if you're building a water type deck, this is a good card to use since it can do 40 damage a turn for only two energy cards.

Bidoof 116/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bidoof from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Bidoof cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Bidoof is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Bidoof card does not have an Ability or Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Gnaw, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage.  Bidoof's second move is called Scrunch, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and prevents all damage done from an attack by your opponent during their next turn if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bidoof is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Bibarel, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet and I haven't even reviewed the second Bidoof card from this set yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution and I do not know which Bidoof card is better.  So, on its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, however if you plan on using this card with Bibarel, it would definitely be acceptable.  The reason I wouldn't use this card on its own is because it is weak overall, only being able to do 10 damage a turn maximum.  It is nice that it has 70 HP, which is above average, but there is no reason for this card to stay in the active Pokemon spot for that long.  So unless you really like Bidoof, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Bibarel, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card.  This card does have some positives like its high HP and a low retreat cost, plus the fact it has two moves, but overall this card is just too weak for me to want to use, and neither move is that great on this card.  So you can definitely find better colorless type cards out there to use in your deck.

Spinda -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spinda from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Spinda is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 80, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Spinda does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Staggering Steps, for one colorless energy card this move confuses one of the active Pokemon depending on if you get a heads or tails when flipping a coin, if you get a heads the defending Pokemon is confused, if you get a tails Spinda is confused.  Spinda's second move is called Uproar, this move requires one colorless energy card to use as well, and does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spinda 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, this card would work perfectly in almost any type deck as a starter type Pokemon, but it would especially work well in a spread damage type deck.  I would highly recommend using this card in a spread damage type deck and putting up to four of these in a deck, that way you have the best possible chance of getting it into the active Pokemon spot to start the game.  I would never use Staggering Steps, only Uproar.  I would then make sure to have some Pokemon in my deck that can do let's say 30 damage or more to any of the opponent's benched Pokemon, that way, you can spread damage around with Spinda and then use that other Pokemon to knock out one of the benched Pokemon with damage already on it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a perfect starter type Pokemon for any deck and a card that I highly recommend using.  This card may seem a bit weaker since both of its moves requires only one colorless energy card to use, however, if your opponent has a full bench to start the game, it is like Uproar can do 60 damage a turn.  So you can't find a much better starter type Pokemon card out there, at least one not so quick, so I highly recommend using Spinda in a deck.

Delcatty -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Delcatty from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Delcatty is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Delcatty does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Replace, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to move as many energy cards attached to your Pokemon to your other Pokemon as you'd like.  Delcatty's second move is called Play Rough, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Delcatty is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Skitty into play (I reviewed Skitty from this set yesterday) and then evolve Skitty into Delcatty.  If you read yesterday's review of Skitty, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card, the main reason because it had a low HP, and required two energy cards to actually do damage to the defending Pokemon.  So knowing this about Skitty and looking at this Delcatty card, you should only try and use this line to use Delcatty's Replace move, that way, you can set up your Pokemon early in the game, then set up Delcatty on the bench, get one energy card on it, then if you have a powerful Pokemon put onto your bench or you get it knocked out early in the game and you can get it back onto the bench, you can put Delcatty into the active Pokemon spot for one turn, use Replace, and quickly set up that Pokemon you just put on your bench, the next turn retreating Delcatty and playing that newly set up Pokemon.  Delcatty's other move, Play Rough is decent, I would recommend a Trick Coin trainer card with this card so it has a better chance of doing 90 damage a turn, but just like yesterday, this card does have a below average HP.

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 Primal Clash set.  This card does have a below average HP and isn't the most powerful Pokemon out there, but I think this card can be very useful in any type deck out there with its Replace move, plus it does have a move that can attack for only two energy cards.  So if you are intrigued by Delcatty's Replace move, I would highly recommend using this Pokemon family in a deck, however combined, I think these two cards are only a 2 out of 5.

Skitty -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Skitty from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Skitty is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Skitty does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Charm, for one colorless energy card this move reduces any damage done from your opponent's active Pokemon during their next turn by 20.  Skitty's second move is called Tail Smack, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Skitty is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Delcatty, 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, the main reason being it only has 50 HP, which is pretty low, plus it requires two energy cards to actually do some damage.  If you're looking for a colorless Pokemon card to use for your deck, the card I just reviewed two days ago, Zigzagoon, is similar to this card but has a higher HP.  If you do decide to use this card in a deck, make sure to not use more than 1, and get it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game.  If you get this card out early, 50 HP won't seem so low and you may be able to use this card a couple of turns before having to retreat it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Delcatty, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card.  This card is similar to Zigzagoon from this set which I also gave a 2 out of 5 rating, however, this card is poorer than that one.  I am not a fan of Skitty's low HP, and neither of its moves.  So if you're building a deck and looking for some colorless Pokemon to use, I would recommend looking elsewhere in regards to this Skitty card.

Linoone -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Linoone from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Linoone 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Linoone does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Fury Swipes, for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 3 coins.  Linoone's second move is called Dash Attack, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use, and does 30 damage to one of your opponent's benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Linoone is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Zigzagoon into play (I reviewed Zigzagoon from this set yesterday) and then evolve Zigzagoon into Linoone.  If you read yesterday's review of Zigzagoon, you'll know that I thought it was a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card.  It was pretty decent overall, just wasn't that great, it had a solid HP and low retreat cost, and two moves, but it did require two energy cards to do damage to the defending Pokemon.  So knowing this about Zigzagoon and looking at this Linoone card, this card is similar to Zigzagoon in that it has two moves, neither that great, but unlike Zigzagoon, both of this card's moves can do damage and both only require two energy cards to use.  So if you're building a spread damage type deck, I could potentially see using a 1-1 line of these two Pokemon if you are in desperate need of Pokemon for your deck.  Since these two cards require colorless energy cards to attack they can be used in any type deck.  I would try and get Linoone into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and either attach a Trick Coin card to this card so you have a better chance of doing 90 damage a turn with Fury Swipes, or spread damage around with Dash Attack so that later in the game you can use a card that has a move that does 10 or 20 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon and potentially knock out several Pokemon at once.

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 Primal Clash set.  Other than having one move be a coin flip based move, this card is pretty decent overall, having a low retreat cost, average HP, and two average moves.  So if you're looking for a couple of cards to use in any type deck, the line of Zigzagoon and Linoone from the Primal Clash set would be one to consider, combined I give these two cards a 3 out of 5 rating.

Zigzagoon -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zigzagoon from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Zigzagoon 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. Zigzagoon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Sand Attack, this move requires one colorless energy card to use, and makes your opponent flip a coin when attacking during their next turn, if they get a tails, the attack does nothing.  Zigzagoon's second move is called Headbutt, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Zigzagoon is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Linoone, 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, this card could be used in a deck, any type deck, since it requires only colorless energy cards to use.  However, this card doesn't have anything too powerful and takes two energy cards to do any damage to the defending Pokemon.  So Sand Attack is pretty useless unless for some reason you have this card in the active Pokemon spot later in the game and just need to prevent the defending Pokemon from attacking.  So if you want to use this card in a deck, don't use more than 1 of these, either get this card into the active Pokemon spot early on to do 20 damage a turn, or put it into the active Pokemon spot later in the game just to make your opponent unable to attack.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Linoone, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card is pretty average overall, with an average HP, low retreat cost and two moves, but this card just doesn't strike my fancy.  I am not a fan of coin flip based moves and that is what Sand Attack is, which downgrades this card for me, and then Headbutt is just a very average move that I would have rather had a one energy card attack cost on.  So if you are in a pinch, this card would work in a deck, but I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flygon from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Flygon 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flygon's Ability is called Sand Flap and says that during your turn, you may choose to or have your opponent shuffle their hand into their deck and draw 4 new cards.  Besides the Ability, Flygon only has one move called Sand Tomb, for three energy cards, one each of grass, fighting, and colorless, this move does 80 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flygon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Trapinch into play and then evolve it into Vibrava before you can evolve Vibrava into Flygon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them in the past.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both Trapinch and Vibrava were average cards individually, but together just didn't have enough power to be used in a deck without Flygon, but Trapinch could be used as a starter type Pokemon because it had an average HP, and two decent moves.  So knowing about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at the final one, this card stays in line being average overall.  There isn't anything that I dislike about this card, just nothing that really stands out.  Sand Tomb is a good move, that does above average damage, but it does require two different types of energy to use and it is the only attack Flygon has.  Flygon's Ability is good, since it can affect both the opponent and yourself.  But overall, unless you're really in love with this Pokemon family, I would not recommend building a deck around this line, and if you want to use it in a deck, only using a 2-1-1 line of this family, using Trapinch as a starter type Pokemon, then doing 60 damage a turn with Vibrava and 80 damage a turn with Flygon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  Like I said in the strategy section of this post, Flygon is solid overall, having nothing that is extremely powerful, but nothing terrible either.  This card as well as the two forms of it prior are average together, and would get a 3 out of 5 rating combined from me, they could be used in a deck, but definitely not ones to build around.

Vibrava -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vibrava from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card set.  Vibrava 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vibrava does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Sand Attack, for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage plus if the defending Pokemon tries attacking during their next turn, your opponent must flip a coin, and they can only attack if they flip a heads.  Vibrava's second move is called Super Vibration, this move requires three energy cards to use, one each of fighting, grass, and colorless, and it does 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vibrava is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Trapinch into play (I reviewed Trapinch from this set a couple of weeks ago) and then evolve Trapinch into Vibrava.  Vibrava does have a stage 2 evolution in Flygon 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 Vibrava is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Trapinch from this set, it is a fighting type Pokemon card and it would make for a solid starter type Pokemon in a deck, it has a good HP, low retreat cost, and two quick, average attacking power moves.  So knowing this about Trapinch and looking at this Vibrava card, I am a fan of Sand Attack on this card, it does some damage but it is a very defensive move, possibly disabling your opponent from attacking.  In my opinion, this Vibrava card would be a perfect stepping stone to using Flygon, but just using Trapinch and Vibrava without Flygon isn't recommended, I would either use just Trapinch or the entire Pokemon line.  I am not a huge fan of Super Vibration just because it requires two different energy types and does average damage for the amount of energy required.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a slightly below average, yet still average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card definitely doesn't blow me away and make me want to use it in a deck, but it isn't bad overall, outside of having just a little lower HP than I'd like, this card does have two decent moves, and a low retreat cost.  Paired with Trapinch from this set, I would give both combined only a 2 out of 5 rating, I think this line will improve greatly with the introduction of Flygon.

Kingdra 108/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kingdra from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two Kingdra cards that I've reviewed from this set.  Kingdra is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Kingdra card has an Ancient Trait called Growth that says when you attach an energy card from your hand to Kingdra, you may attach two energy cards instead of one.  Besides the Ancient Trait, this card has two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Gather Strength, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to search your deck for up to four energy cards and put them into your hand.  Kingdra's second move is called Dragon Blast, this move requires three energy cards to use, two water and one lightning, and does 150 damage, however, you must discard both a water and a lightning type energy card after using this move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kingdra is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Horsea into play and then evolve it into Seadra before you can evolve Seadra into Kingdra, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them previously.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both were very poor Pokemon cards, both are water type Pokemon cards, Horsea had only one move that couldn't do any damage, thus I gave it a 1 rating, Seadra did have two moves, but both moves did below average damage and it had a low HP, so combined I was not recommending using this line in a deck.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this specific Kingdra card, the only way I would consider using this card is to make sure you have plenty of energy cards in your deck, that way it won't hurt you much going through so many energy cards using Dragon Blast every turn, or figure out a way to get the energy cards from your discard pile back into your hand.  But strategy wise, since Horsea and Seadra are so poor from this set, I would get this entire line set up on the bench, then possibly use Gather Strength the first turn when Kingdra is in the active Pokemon spot to get plenty of energy in hand, then use Dragon Blast after that, utilizing its Ancient Trait, you can re-attach two energy cards to it and do 150 damage every turn.  Compared to yesterday's Kingdra card, this card is much better in my opinion, it can do more damage every single turn, has an Ancient Trait, and doesn't have any moves based on coin flips.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This is definitely the Kingdra card to use out of the two from this set, however neither are great by any means.  This card has one very powerful attack and a low retreat cost which makes it usable in a deck.  However, using it with the Horsea and Seadra cards from this set will bring the overall rating of the line to a 2 out of 5 rating, and I wouldn't highly recommend using this family in a deck.

Kingdra 107/160 - Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kingdra from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Kingdra cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Kingdra is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Kingdra does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Shred, for one water energy card this move does 30 damage.  Kingdra's second move is called Twister, for two energy cards, one each of lightning and water, this move does 70 damage, however you must flip two coins when using this move, if you get two tails, the move does nothing, for each heads you flip, you may discard an energy card attached to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kingdra is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Horsea into play and then evolve it into Seadra before you can evolve Seadra into Kingdra, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them previously.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both were very poor Pokemon cards, both are water type Pokemon cards, Horsea had only one move that couldn't do any damage, thus I gave it a 1 rating, Seadra did have two moves, but both moves did below average damage and it had a low HP, so combined I was not recommending using this line in a deck.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this specific Kingdra card, unless you really like a lot of risk when building decks, I would avoid this entire line completely.  Kingdra's Twister move is very good, but has a coin flip mantra about it, meaning it may end up doing nothing at all, and using a Stage 2 Pokemon in your deck that may end up doing zero damage a turn is just not a good idea.  So if you're building a water type, lightning type, or a mixed deck, I would not recommend using this line in a deck, Kingdra being the final evolution in the family is underpowered and not worth using.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card is just not a card that should be used in a deck, the HP on the card is a little lower than most Stage 2 cards, and neither move that this card is very good at all, the one move that had a chance was Twister, but then throw in the fact you have to flip coins to use it, and the move becomes unusable.  So definitely look elsewhere when looking at Pokemon for your deck, because overall I can't give this line a higher than 1 out of 5 rating.

Mega Gardevoir EX -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mega Gardevoir EX from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Mega Gardevoir EX is a Mega Evolution, EX, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 210. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mega Gardevoir does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Brilliant Arrow, for three energy cards, two colorless and one fairy, this move does 30 damage times the amount of fairy energy attached to all of your Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
Before I start with the strategy, remember that this card is a Mega Evolution card and an EX card so if you use this card in your deck and it gets knocked out, your opponent gets to take two prize cards instead of one and when you evolve an EX card into its Mega Evolution, your turn ends, you cannot do anything else.  So knowing these things, you'll always want to use Mega Evolution cards with caution, with that being said, if you want to do some major damage in a majority fairy type deck, Gardevoir EX and Mega Gardevoir EX are the cards to use.  You can first use Gardevoir EX in the active Pokemon spot doing 100 damage a turn for three energy cards, then, by evolving Gardevoir EX into Mega Gardevoir EX you can do 90 damage a turn right off the bat with Brilliant Arrow, but if you've set up any of your benched Pokemon at all, all you need is one fairy type energy card on one of your Pokemon and this card can do 120 damage a turn.  Just think, get a couple of your Pokemon set up on the bench, or a card that requires three or four fairy energy cards to attack and Brilliant Arrow can then do 180 damage a turn, every single turn.  So this card is extremely powerful and can do at least 90 damage a turn every single turn.  I would highly recommend using this Pokemon line in a deck, at least a 1-1 line of these two cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a well above average Mega EX Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card is average outside of its one move, with a decent HP and normal energy card retreat cost.  But this card truly sets itself apart with its one move doing at least 90 damage a turn and easily double that if any Pokemon are set up on your bench.  So if you're building a fairy type deck and/or looking for some power, look no further than Gardevoir EX and Mega Gardevoir EX from this set, together, I would give these two cards a 5 out of 5 rating.

Gardevoir EX -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Gardevoir EX and Gardevoir EX Full Art from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Gardevoir EX is a basic, EX, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 170. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Gardevoir EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Life Leap, for one fairy type energy card this move does 20 damage plus heals the same amount of damage from Gardevoir that you did to the defending Pokemon.  Gardevoir's second move is called Shining Wind, this move requires three fairy type energy cards to use, and does 100 damage, plus during your opponent's next turn, Gardevoir has no weakness.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Gardevoir 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.  However, Gardevoir does have a mega evolution you could use from this set and I will be reviewing that card tomorrow, so this strategy below will act like Gardevoir EX does not have an evolution.  So knowing this, on its own, the only reason you would want to use this card in a deck is to do 100 damage a turn with Shining Wind, other than that, there isn't much else to talk about with this card.  So do 100 damage a turn every turn with Gardevoir, unless you can knock out the defending Pokemon by doing 20 damage or less, then use Life Leap so you can heal some damage off of Gardevoir.  I would definitely use one of these EX cards in a fairy type deck just because it is so powerful and can do 100 damage every single turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average Basic, EX Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  There really isn't anything that I dislike about it, but for an EX card I would have hoped for two great moves, not just one average move and one great move.  But like I said in the strategy section of this post, doing 100 damage a turn with Shining Wind will do quite a bit of damage on your opponent's Pokemon, so this card should definitely be used in fairy type decks.

Azumarill 104/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Azumarill from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two Azumarill cards I've reviewed from this set.  Azumarill is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Azumarill card has an Ancient Trait called Recovery that says when this Pokemon is healed, double the amount is healed.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Azumarill has two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Tail Rap, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of fairy and colorless, and does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.  The second move that this card has is called Dwindling Wave, for three energy cards, two colorless and one fairy, this move does 100 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Azumarill is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Marill into play (I reviewed Marill from this set two days ago) and then evolve Marill into Azumarill, there are actually two Azumarill cards from this set, and I will compare both cards at the end of this section.  If you read my review of Marill, you'll know that I thought that card was an average Basic Pokemon card, it had an above average HP, and two solid, but not spectacular moves.  It could be used as a starter Pokemon in a deck, but does have a higher retreat cost.  So knowing this about Marill and looking at this Azumarill card with an Ancient Trait, this is a card that I would set up on the bench, get three energy cards on, then move to the active Pokemon spot to use Dwindling Wave every turn.  You would want to include plenty of Potion cards in your deck or Pokemon with an Ability that can heal other Pokemon so Dwindling Wave can perform full throttle every turn.  It does help with Azumarill's Ancient Trait to keep it at full health more often, and Azumarill would have to have more than 40 damage on it to make Dwindling Wave do below average damage.  Comparing the two Azumarill cards from this set, the one I reviewed yesterday is a little quicker and more accurate on the attack, so if you plan on using Marill as a starter Pokemon it would be better to use yesterday's Azumarill with it, if you want to do major power, use this Azumarill card and set up Marill on the bench.  Both cards are good of Azumarill from this set, it may work out best to use a 2-2 line of Marill and Azumarill with 1 each of the Azumarill cards from this set.

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 Primal Clash set.  This card could easily be used in a fairy type deck, I like that it has a high HP and its Ancient Trait works well with its Dwindling Wave move.  However, this card is slower on the attack since its first move is a coin flip based move and the longer Azumarill is in the active Pokemon spot, the more likely less damage it will be able to do.  But you can't go wrong with either Azumarill cards from this set, that is why I'm giving Marill and Azumarill combined a 3 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave these cards individually.

Azumarill 103/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Azumarill from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Azumarill cards I'll be reviewing consecutively.  Azumarill is a stage 1, 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 two colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Azumarill card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Bubble Beam, for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip two coins, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.  Azumarill's second move is called Superpower, this move requires three energy cards to use, two colorless and one fairy, and does 60 damage, plus 30 more damage if you want to do 30 damage to Azumarill.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Azumarill is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Marill into play (I reviewed Marill from this set yesterday) and then evolve Marill into Azumarill, there are actually two Azumarill cards from this set, and I'll be reviewing the second one tomorrow and then comparing the two.  If you read yesterday's review of Marill, you'll know that I thought that card was an average Basic Pokemon card, it had an above average HP, and two solid, but not spectacular moves.  It could be used as a starter Pokemon in a deck, but does have a higher retreat cost.  So knowing this about Marill and looking at this Azumarill card, you could easily use a 1-1 or 2-2 line of these two Pokemon in a fairy type deck.  Both can attack quickly and do a fair amount of damage, but with this card, you really can't do more than average damage unless you decide to do damage to Azumarill itself.  I would personally attach a Trick Coin trainer card to Azumarill and use Bubble Beam almost every turn, especially early in the game, that way you can do a fair amount of damage every turn, and have time to set up your benched Pokemon if the defending Pokemon can never attack.

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 Primal Clash set.  There really isn't anything negative about this card but nothing too great either.  It has an average HP, and two solid moves that would make this card and the combination of Marill and Azumarill in a deck be very useful.  Together, I would give these two cards a 3 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave each card individually.

Mr. Mime -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mr. Mime from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Mr. Mime is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 80, it has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mr. Mime does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Trick, for one colorless energy card this move moves a Pokemon Tool card attached to one of your opponent's Pokemon to another one of their Pokemon.  Mr. Mime's second move is called Lock Up, for two energy cards, one each of fairy and colorless, this move does 30 damage, plus it makes the defending Pokemon unable to retreat during their next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mr. Mime 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, this card definitely isn't a bad Basic Pokemon card having a good HP, and one good move.  You could definitely try and use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a deck, just get two energy cards on it and you can do 30 damage a turn.  This card is quite limited in what it can do though, since the first move on this card, Trick, is basically useless.  So if you need a somewhat powerful Basic Pokemon card to use in a fairy type deck, I would suggest looking at using 1 of these cards in it.  But I am never a fan of having Basic Pokemon cards having more than a 1 colorless energy card retreat cost.

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 Primal Clash set.  This card has an above average HP, and one of the two moves it has is pretty good.  However, this card's retreat cost is high and it is slow on the attack.  So weighing out the positives and negatives this card is average overall, and could easily be used in a deck or left out, it is really your choice.
