Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Regirock from the Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Set. Regirock is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 120, it has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Regirock does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Rock Throw, for two energy cards, one each of fighting and colorless, this move does 40 damage. Regirock's second move is called Unyielding Rock, for three energy cards, one fighting and two colorless, this move does 60 damage plus 60 more damage if you're facing an EX Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Regirock 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, the only reason you'll want to use this card in your deck is in the case where you think you'll be facing a majority of EX Pokemon when playing your opponent. You could add 1 Regirock card into your fighting type deck and then keep it on the bench to hopefully prevent your opponent from playing EX cards in their active Pokemon spot or move Regirock to the active Pokemon spot and do 120 damage a turn against EX. Other than that, this card is too slow and has too high of a retreat cost for me to want to use on its own just doing either 40 or 60 damage a turn.
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 Ancient Origins set. This card has a well above average HP and two solid moves, one becoming well above average if facing an EX Pokemon. But, this card is pretty slow on the attack and has a really high retreat cost, so there is really no merit to forcing this card into your deck.
