Purrloin -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Purrloin from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Purrloin is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Purrloin does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Fake Out, for one darkness energy card this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Purrloin is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Liepard, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So, on its own if you're desperate for one more Basic Pokemon to use in your darkness type deck, this card could work well, especially early on in the game.  Despite having a lower HP, this card's only move is quick and not only does damage but could paralyze the defending Pokemon making more time for you to set up your benched Pokemon.  So strategy with this card would be to get it into the active Pokemon spot early and use Fake Out every turn.  Like I mentioned, do not use more than one of these in a deck because this card is quite limited with only one move and a lower HP.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Purrloin, this card is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card.  This card could be used in a deck on its own, but because it only has 50 HP, I would recommend looking elsewhere.  If you decide to use this Purrloin card with Liepard, it definitely is a good card to use because it can attack quickly and paralyze your opponent, but on its own, it is just too limited of a card.

Purrloin #83/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Purrloin from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second consecutive Purrloin card I've reviewed from the Plasma Storm set.  This Purrloin is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Purrloin card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  So far, everything up to this point is exactly the same as yesterday's card.  The first move this card has is called Scout, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to look at your opponent's hand.  Purrloin's second move is called Fasten Claws, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and darkness, and does 20 damage plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Purrloin is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Liepard, 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 Purrloin card would be used just like the other Purrloin card from this set would be in a deck...not at all.  I don't like either of the Purrloin cards from this set and neither should be used in a deck on its own.  This card has too low of hp and neither move is too spectacular.  If you choose to use this card in a deck, of course you're going to want to use Fasten Claws when you can because it is the only move on this card that does damage.  If you get this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, Scout might be useful for you but I don't usually like these types of moves.

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.  The reason this card is below average for me is pretty similar reasons to yesterdays card, this card has too low of hp,  and neither move is very good, Scout doesn't do anything at all, whereas yesterday's Purrloin card could at least have a shot at confusing the defending Pokemon for one energy card, but this card's second move is better than yesterday's card.  So to reiterate, neither Purrloin card from this set is very good at all.  They are both below average basic Pokemon cards.

Purrloin #82/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Purrloin from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Purrloin cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Purrloin is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Purrloin card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Tail Trickery, this move requires one darkness energy card and confuses the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Purrloin's second move is called Fury Swipes, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and darkness, and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip three coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Purrloin is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Liepard, 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 have not reviewed the other Purlloin card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So on its own, this Purrloin card wouldn't be the greatest to use on its own.  I say this because this card has a below average hp, and to attack it has to have two energy cards attached to it and even when you use Fury Swipes, you aren't guaranteed to do any damage.  So I would not recommend using this card in a deck on its own.  However, if you choose to, whenever you get this card in the active Pokemon spot you'll just have to use whichever move you can afford energy wise.

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.  The reason this card is below average for me is because of its low hp and the fact that both of its moves require coin flips to actually do anything.  So if you are having an unlucky match, this card will be a waste for you to have in your deck.  Hopefully tomorrow's Purrloin card is better than this one is.  I am giving this card a 2 instead of a 1 just because this card does have two moves.

Purrloin -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Purrloin from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Purrloin is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Purrloin does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Captivate, this move requires one darkness energy card and allows you to flip a coin and if you get heads switch your opponent's active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Purrloin is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Liepard, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll probably want to use this card with that Pokemon.  With that being said, this card is absolutely an awful choice to use on its own.  Not only can this card not attack, but it has a low hp as well.  So do not use this card if you don't have to, and never use this card without Liepard.  Other than that, when Purrloin is in the active Pokemon spot you'll have to use Captivate every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a terrible basic Pokemon card.  This is one of the worst basic Pokemon cards I have seen in awhile, not only can it not do any damage, but the only move it has might not even do anything, because first off you have to flip a heads, and secondly, if your opponent doesn't have any benched Pokemon, this move will do nothing regardless of what you flip.  Stay away from this card at all costs.
