Psyduck -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Psyduck Sun and Moon Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Psyduck from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Psyduck is a Basic, Water type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Psyduck does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Confusion Wave, for one Colorless Energy card this move Confuses both Active Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Psyduck is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Golduck, 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, unless you plan on Confusing the defending Pokemon to start the game then switching out Psyduck to use a Pokemon that benefits from the opposing Pokemon being confused, there is really no reason to use Psyduck on its own.  Sure, the card has a higher HP and can use any type of Energy to attack, but it can't do any damage, and it Confuses itself.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Golduck, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card.  Like I mentioned above, if a card can't do any damage and inflicts a Special Condition on itself, there is no reason to use that card in a deck.  The only reason to even consider using this card is if you have to use it in order to get to Golduck.

Psyduck -- BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Review

Psyduck BREAKpoint Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Psyduck from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Set.  Psyduck is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Psyduck does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called Stampede and for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Psyduck is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Golduck, 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, since this card is a Basic Pokemon you usually want to see if it works as a starter type Pokemon, but because this card can't attack for only one energy card it doesn't make for a great card to use.  If you are using Double Colorless energy cards in your deck, this card can essentially attack for one energy card, but doing 20 damage isn't anything better than average.  So this is probably a card I would not recommend using on its own and one that would be best suited to leave on the bench and evolve into Golduck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Golduck, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the BREAKpoint set.  This card does have some positives on it, like its solid HP and low retreat cost, plus you can use any energy type on it to attack, but because this card just has the one move on it, and that move requires two energy cards to use, I cannot give it a better rating than a 2.
