Fletchling -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fletchling from the Roaring Skies set.  Fletchling is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  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 or Ancient Trait and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Acrobatics, this move requires one colorless energy card to use and does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each heads you get when you flip two coins.

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 are fire type Pokemon in this set, you can use this card with those Pokemon, however after reviewing both of those cards, neither are very good, so I will be looking at this Fletchling card on its own and see if its worthy of use.  So, on its own, this card shouldn't be used mainly because of its low HP, 40 HP on the first turn of the game may be okay, but after that you're going to get knocked out very quickly.  Too bad too because Acrobatics is a pretty good move for only one energy card, but you still can't use a card with such a low HP.  So overall, I can't recommend any Pokemon from this family in this set.

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 Roaring Skies set.  This card basically boils down to the fact that it has a good move, but the HP on this card is just way too low to merit use.  So knowing this entire line, I would give this family a 1 out of 5 rating, it is extremely poor overall.

Unfezant 81/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Unfezant from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of the two Unfezant cards from this set I've reviewed on my blog.  Unfezant is a stage 2, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a free retreat cost.  This Unfezant card has an Ancient Trait called Evolution that says you may evolve Tranquill into Unfezant either your first turn or as soon as you put Tranquill into play.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Unfezant has two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Feather Dance, for two colorless energy cards this move makes Sky Attack do 80 more damage during the next turn.  Previously mentioned, Unfezant's second move is called Sky Attack and for three energy cards, all colorless, this move does 120 damage, however the move is based on a coin flip and if you get a tails the attack does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Unfezant is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Pidove into play and then evolve it into Tranquill before you can evolve Tranquill into Unfezant, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last few days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were below average, giving the two cards a combined 1 out of 5 rating.  Pidove wasn't too bad, it had an average HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, what I didn't like about it was the fact its attacking move required two energy cards instead of one.  Tranquill on the other hand I thought was really poor, it had a low HP and only one move that depended on a coin flip and if that coin was a tails the move did nothing at all.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this specific Unfezant card, the ideal strategy with this card would be to set up the entire line on the bench, getting three energy cards on Unfezant, then attaching a Trick Coin item card to this card, then when you are facing a powerful Pokemon in the opponent's active Pokemon spot, move Unfezant into the active Pokemon spot, use Sky Attack immediately hoping for a heads if the defending Pokemon can be knocked out by 120 damage or less, or use Feather Dance the first turn and Sky Attack the second turn doing 200 damage in one turn.  The problem with this ideal plan is that you could do all of that work setting up this Pokemon line then get to Unfezant and never be able to attack which would be a real shame, so to fix this problem, I wouldn't recommend using this line at all.  After looking at both Unfezant cards from this set, both have some intrigue to them and both could be used in a winning deck, however the probability of actually performing well with these Pokemon in slim so I wouldn't recommend using either 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 Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  I like that this card has a higher HP than the other Unfezant card and that it has a free retreat cost, but this card is too costly to play if it can't do any damage and that is the chance you take with a card that is based on a coin flip.  So, overall, I would give the entire line of Pidove, Tranquill, and Unfezant from the Roaring Skies set a 2 out of 5 rating.

Unfezant 80/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Unfezant from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Unfezant cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Unfezant is a stage 2, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Unfezant card does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Quick Attack, this move requires one colorless energy card to use and does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if you get a heads when flipping a coin.  Unfezant's second move is called Strong Winds and for three colorless energy cards, this move allows you to shuffle all cards attached to each player's Pokemon into their deck.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Unfezant is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Pidove into play and then evolve it into Tranquill before you can evolve Tranquill into Unfezant, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last two days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were below average, giving the two cards a combined 1 out of 5 rating.  Pidove wasn't too bad, it had an average HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, what I didn't like about it was the fact its attacking move required two energy cards instead of one.  Tranquill on the other hand I thought was really poor, it had a low HP and only one move that depended on a coin flip and if that coin was a tails the move did nothing at all.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and knowing there is another Unfezant card in this set, the only thing that I would consider using this card for would be Strong Winds, just to make sure that my opponent's strategy is ruined.  I may include a 1-1-1 line of this Pokemon family in my deck, set it up on the bench, then make sure all of my Pokemon in play, other than Unfezant, can attack very quickly, that way, if I move everything back into each player's deck, if my Pokemon are faster on the attack, I can attack and get everything set back up quicker than the opponent.  Other than this strategy, I would not recommend using Unfezant or any of the previous forms of this Pokemon in a deck, they just aren't that good.

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 Roaring Skies set.  There are a couple of positives about this card like its low retreat cost and its intriguing Strong Winds attack.  However, this card is pretty weak for a Stage 2 card, with a low HP, and a weak move, so unless you want to use Strong Winds in a deck, do not use this card in your deck.  Altogether, I can only give this Pokemon family a 2 out of 5 rating.

Tranquill -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tranquill from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card set.  Tranquill is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tranquill does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Fly, for two colorless energy cards this move does 40 damage, however when using this move you must flip a coin, if the coin is a heads all effects of attacks done to Tranquill during your opponent's next turn are prevented, if the coin is a tails, the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Tranquill is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Pidove into play (I reviewed Pidove from this set yesterday) and then evolve Pidove into Tranquill.  Tranquill does have a stage 2 evolution in Unfezant 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 Tranquill is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review Pidove from this set you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card.  There really wasn't anything wrong with it, having an average HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, it was just the fact that the only move that could do damage on the card required two energy cards instead of one.  So knowing this about Pidove and looking at this Tranquill card, I would highly recommend not using either of these Pokemon in a deck without Unfezant.  I would specifically hinder against using Tranquill at all because it is so poor and may not be able to do anything at all if you have some bad luck flipping a coin.  So stay away from this card if you can, and if you have to use it with Unfezant, keep this line on the bench until you can evolve it to its Stage 2 form.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a very poor Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set and one I would never recommend using in a deck.  Starting off, this card has a really poor HP, then the only thing this card can do is attack, and the one move it has is based off of a coin flip, and if you flip a tails the move does nothing at all.  So paired with Pidove from this set, I can't give these two cards higher than a 1 out of 5 rating, they are very poor.

Pidove -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pidove from the Roaring Skies set.  Pidove 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.  Pidove does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Homing Pidove, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to look at the top card of your deck and then if you choose, you may shuffle your deck.  Pidove's second move is called Gust and for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pidove is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Tranquill, and a Stage 2 evolution in Unfezant, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, this post will only consider Pidove on its own.  So, on its own, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck, mainly because it is a bit slower on the attack, requiring two energy cards to do any damage to the defending Pokemon and the fact if this card is sitting on your bench it can't do anything.  The first move that Pidove has, Homing Pidove can easily be replaced by a Trainer card.  But if you're in a pinch and need a starter type Pokemon in your deck, this one isn't the worst one out there since it has two moves and a decent HP and low retreat cost.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  I like that this card has two moves, a solid HP, and a low retreat cost, but like I said in the strategy section of this post, Pidove's first move can be replaced by a trainer card, and preferably the move that does damage on this card would have required only one energy card instead of two.

Shaymin EX -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shaymin EX and Shaymin EX Full Art from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Shaymin EX is a basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Shaymin's Ability is called Set Up and says that when you play this Pokemon from your hand onto your Bench you may draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand.  Besides the Ability, Shaymin just has one move called Sky Return and for two colorless energy cards does 30 damage and returns Shaymin EX along with all cards attached to it back to your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Shaymin 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.  So knowing this about Shaymin EX, the strategy you want to use with this card is similar to the one I talked about yesterday with Mega Rayquaza EX.  You want to use up to 4 of these Shaymin EX cards in a deck and also have the Sky Field Stadium card in your deck, you would then play the Sky Field card allowing you to have 8 benched Pokemon, use all of your Shaymin EX cards by putting them on your bench and drawing the necessary cards using its Ability, then when you've played all of your Shaymin EX, use a different Stadium card and discard the Shaymin EX cards from your bench.  There really is no point in putting this card into the active Pokemon spot because you don't want to risk it getting knocked out in one move but if you do have two energy cards on it for some reason, you can definitely use Sky Return and move it back to your hand and play it on the bench again.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a well above average EX Pokemon card and a card that is heavily used in the metagame.  Paired with Sky Field supporter, this card makes up the main draw mechanism in many decks out there and is definitely worth consideration in any deck you may be building.  Power wise, this card isn't that great, but you aren't using this card for its attack, you're using it to draw cards.

M Rayquaza EX 76/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mega Rayquaza EX from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two Mega Rayquaza cards I've reviewed from this set, the other being a dragon type card.  Mega Rayquaza EX is a Mega Evolution, EX, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 220. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mega Rayquaza does not have an Ability but it does have an Ancient Trait called Evolution that says you may evolve Rayquaza into M Rayquaza the first turn of the game or as soon as you put Rayquaza into play.  Besides the Ancient Trait, this card just has one move called Emerald Break that requires three colorless energy cards to use and does 30 damage times the number of your benched 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, I would highly recommend using this card in any type deck out there, I would however make sure to use it with the Sky Field stadium card which allows both you and your opponent to have up to 8 Pokemon on your bench, that way, you can get 8 Pokemon on your bench, then use M Rayquaza's Emerald Break move and do 240 damage a turn every single turn.  So looking at the two M Rayquaza EX cards from this set, I would much rather use this card than the Dragon type one even though that card can do up to 300 damage a turn, the move is much slower and requires you to discard energy every time you use it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an excellent Mega EX Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set and one that a deck could be built around if you plan on using the Sky Field stadium card with it allowing you to do 240 damage every single turn for only three energy cards.  Combined with Rayquaza EX, the colorless type, I would still give this line a 5 out of 5 rating just because I think M Rayquaza EX is so good.

Rayquaza EX 75/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rayquaza EX and Rayquaza EX Full Art from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  There are two different Rayquaza EX cards in this set, this review will be about the colorless type one.  Rayquaza EX is a basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 170. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Rayquaza EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Intensifying Burn, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage, plus 50 more damage if the defending Pokemon is an EX card.  Rayquaza's second move is called Dragon Pulse and for three colorless energy cards does 100 damage, however you must discard the top 3 cards of your deck.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Rayquaza 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, Rayquaza 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 Rayquaza EX does not have an evolution.  So knowing this, on its own, if you're looking for a bit of power this card may be for you if you're looking for a colorless type Pokemon card to use in your deck.  I would definitely recommend using this card for Dragon Pulse, but be prepared to either lose a lot of cards from your deck quickly or devise a way to get those discarded cards back into your deck or hand.  If you know your opponent is going to have lots of EX cards in your deck, this card wouldn't be a bad card to use just because it can do 60 damage a turn for one energy card against those Pokemon.  Looking at the two Rayquaza EX cards from this set, both can do major damage, this one can do 100 damage for three energy cards, the dragon type one can do 130 damage for four energy cards so it really comes down to what kind of deck you're building since the dragon type card uses fire and lightning type energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average EX Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  This card is decent overall having one poor move, unless you're facing an EX, and one good move doing 100 damage a turn.  So again, if you're building a deck and need a bit more power, definitely give this Rayquaza EX card a look.

Altaria 74/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Altaria from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second Altaria card I've reviewed from this set.  Altaria 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.  This Altaria card has an Ancient Trait called Evolution that says you may evolve Swablu into Altaria the first turn of the game or as soon as you put Swablu into play.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Altaria has an Ability called Clear Humming that says each of your colorless type Pokemon have no weakness.  Besides those two things, this card just does have one move called Wing Attack that does 30 damage for two energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Altaria is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Swablu into play (I reviewed Swablu from this set yesterday) and then evolve Swablu into Altaria, there are actually two Altaria cards from this set and I'll be comparing the two at the end of this paragraph.  If you read my review of Swablu, you'll know that I thought it was a very poor Basic Pokemon card, it only had one move that didn't do any damage to the defending Pokemon but was able to heal 20 damage from one of your Pokemon, this move could be replaced by a trainer card, and the card had an extremely low HP of 40 so you're just asking to get knocked out.  So knowing this about Swablu and looking at this Altaria card, you could definitely use this card in a deck that includes mainly colorless type Pokemon cards because you could just leave this card on the bench and give all of your Pokemon no weakness.  What I really like about this card is that because Swablu is so weak, you can use this cards Ancient Trait to immediately evolve Swablu whenever you put it into play, assuming you have Altaria into your hand.  I could definitely see using a 1-1 of this family in a deck, mainly for Altaria's Ability but its move isn't bad either.  Compared to the dragon type Altaria I reviewed from this set, I like this card a little better, the other Altaria card required metal and water type energy cards to attack, could do the same amount of damage, and could basically refresh your deck, which would be good in the metagame, but it had a lower HP which I didn't like.

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 Roaring Skies set.  There is no complaints for me with this card, it just isn't as overpowering as I would have liked it to be.  It has an average HP, a good Ability and Retreat Cost and an average move.  Like I said above, if you're building a colorless type deck, this card is a must.

Swablu -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Swablu from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Swablu is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  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 Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called Bind Wound, and for one colorless energy card this move heals 20 damage from one of your Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Swablu is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Altaria, 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 without Altaria, mainly because this card can easily be replaced by a trainer card like Potion, that way you don't have to waste an energy card on Swablu and you don't have to worry about getting this Pokemon knocked out.  So as far as strategy, don't even strategize about this card, it just isn't that great, having too low of an HP and a very poor move.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Altaria, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card and one that I would not recommend using in a deck or on its own.  It has too low of an HP and the one move it has can be replaced by a trainer card making this card easily replaceable in a deck.

Swellow 72/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Swellow from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second Swellow card I've reviewed from this set.  Swellow 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.  This Swellow card has an Ancient Trait called Plus that says if Taillow knocks out a Pokemon, you get to take an additional prize card.  Besides the Ancient Trait, this card has two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Peck, for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage.  Swellow's second move is called Wing Attack and for three colorless energy cards the move does 50 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Swellow is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Taillow into play (I reviewed Taillow from this set two days ago) and then evolve Taillow into Swellow, there are actually two Swellow cards from this set and I'll be comparing the two at the end of this paragraph.  If you read my review of Taillow, you'll know that I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card, it had a low HP, and the only move it had was a coin flip based move, meaning it could do above average damage every single turn or do no damage at all, so I recommended looking elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.  So knowing this about Taillow and looking at this specific Swellow card, I really like Swellow's Ancient Trait and if you can knock out an EX card with this card you can take three prize cards at once, that is half way to winning the game.  Comparing this card to yesterday's Swellow card, yesterday's card can do way more damage, 90 compared to 50, but you just have to take into account if you think you can utilize this card's Ancient Trait or not.  I personally would try and build a whole deck that included Pokemon that had the Plus Ancient trait, but if you're a beginner, I would recommend yesterday's Swellow card more.

I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  This card has an average HP and low retreat cost, but compared to yesterday's Swellow card does less damage, but the Ancient Trait on this card makes up for it, so both cards are equal in my opinion, meaning that combined with Taillow from this set I am still giving both cards a 2 out of 5 rating.

Swellow 71/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Swellow from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Swellow cards I'll be reviewing consecutively.  Swellow 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.  Swellow does not have an Ability or Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Clutch, for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage, plus it makes your opponent unable to retreat during their next turn.  Swellow's second move is called Aerial Ace and for three colorless energy cards does 60 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 Swellow is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Taillow into play (I reviewed Taillow from this set yesterday) and then evolve Taillow into Swellow, there are actually two Swellow 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 Taillow, you'll know that I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card, it had a low HP, and the only move it had was a coin flip based move, meaning it could do above average damage every single turn or do no damage at all, so I recommended looking elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.  So knowing this about Taillow and looking at this specific Swellow card, you may consider using a 1-1 line of this Pokemon family, keeping Taillow on the bench and evolving it into Swellow, once you get three energy cards on Swellow, it can do above average damage every single turn if you flip a heads, so it is best to use this card with Trick Coin.  Also, if you have to put Taillow into the active Pokemon spot early, try your hardest to evolve it right away then you can do 20 damage every turn.

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 Roaring Skies set.  This card doesn't blow me away by any means, but it is a solid card overall, having an average HP, and two good moves.  I would definitely consider using this Pokemon line if you are in a jam needing two more cards, however, combined I would give these two cards only a 2 out of 5 rating, I am just not that big of a fan of Taillow.

Taillow -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Taillow from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Taillow 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. Taillow does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Double Peck, this move requires one colorless energy card to use and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Taillow is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Swellow, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed either of those cards 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 it can fit into any type deck since it is a colorless type Pokemon card.  The reason I would not use this card on its own is because it has a below average HP, and the only move that this card has may end up doing zero damage every single turn.  You don't want to try and put this card into your active Pokemon spot to start the game and never be able to do any damage with it.  If you were using this card with Swellow, it wouldn't be so bad.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Swellow, this card is a below average Basic Pokemon card.  It has a below average HP and the one move it has, even though it has the potential to do above average damage every turn, is a coin flip based move and one that may end up not doing any damage at all.  So if you're in need for a Basic Pokemon card for your deck, make sure to look elsewhere.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Taillow from the Roaring Skies set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Taillow's stage 1 evolution Banette, which will be the first of two consecutive reviews of this Pokemon, which is from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Skarmory -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Skarmory from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Skarmory is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100, it has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Skarmory does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Call for Family, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to search your deck for up to 2 Basic Pokemon and put them onto your bench.  Skarmory's second move is called Blow Through, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if there is a Stadium card in play.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Skarmory 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 well as a starter type Pokemon in a deck.  You would try and get it into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, use Call for Family the first turn to get some more Pokemon on your bench, then after that use Blow Through every turn, knocking most Basic Pokemon out in two turns, some in one turn if you do 60 damage a turn.  So you'll want to make sure you have some Stadium cards in your deck to boost Skarmory's move.  This card isn't as good of a starter type Pokemon as Dunsparce was from yesterday but I would still recommend this card in a deck if you need one more card to make 60 cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring skies set.  There really isn't anything I dislike about this card, it has an above average HP, and two good moves.  So overall, if you're looking for a good card to add to your deck that can be used right away, definitely consider this Skarmory card.

Dunsparce -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dunsparce from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Dunsparce 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 free retreat cost.  Dunsparce does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Burrow, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to discard the top card of your opponent's deck.  Dunsparce's second move is called Rollout, for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dunsparce 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, since this card is a colorless type Pokemon, it can fit into any type deck, and if you're looking for a solid starter type Pokemon, or a card to put in the active Pokemon spot to start the game, I would highly recommend putting at least one of these cards in a deck.  This card can attack quickly, doing 20 damage for only one energy card, plus when you get your bench set up, you can retreat this card for free.  And, if you have this card on your bench later in the game, you may be able to win by making your opponent run out of cards in their deck, so Burrow may end up winning the game for you.  Overall, this is just a good Basic Pokemon card to use in any type deck out there.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very good Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  I like that this card has a free retreat cost, and two moves, both requiring only one energy card.  You really can't go wrong with using this card in a deck, so make sure to consider this card when building.

Meowth -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meowth from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Meowth 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. Meowth does not have an Ability or Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Feelin' Fine, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to draw a card.  Meowth's second move is called Fury Swipes and for three energy cards, all colorless, this move does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip three coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Meowth is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Persian, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since there isn't a Persian card in this set, I will have to wait and review the one from Ancient Origins, so I will just look at this Meowth card on its own with no relation to Persian from either Ancient Origins or Next Destinies.  So, on its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.  The main reason I say this is because this card is extremely slow on the attack, at least if you want to do damage, and if you do get three energy cards on Meowth, you need to get three heads in a row in order to do average damage for the amount of energy cards required to do Fury Swipes.  So instead of using Meowth in a deck, use a Trainer card that allows you to draw cards to replace Feelin' Fine, and use one of many Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokemon cards out there that can do 60 damage every single time for three energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Persian, this is a very poor Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  Even though this card has a low retreat cost, average HP, and two moves, I am still giving this card my lowest rating just because neither move I like at all on this card, and for a card that really doesn't have any glaring negatives about it, this card just doesn't do anything at all for me, so make sure to find a better basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.

Fearow -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fearow from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Fearow is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  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 Peck, for one colorless energy card this move does 30 damage.  Fearow's second move is called Drill Run, this move requires four colorless energy cards to use and does 70 damage, plus you get to discard an energy card attached to your opponent's active Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

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 and could be used on its own, it has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and one move that was a little on the slow side but did do above average damage.  So knowing this about Spearow and looking at this Fearow card, you could definitely use a 1-1 line of Spearow and Fearow in a deck, you could start the game with Spearow in the active Pokemon spot and evolve it after the first turn and use Peck or just keep Spearow in the active Pokemon spot in awhile and do 30 damage a turn with it.  The advantage of using Fearow over Spearow is that Fearow can do the same amount of damage for one energy card less and it has 40 more HP.  Drill Run is a good move, however, it does require quite a bit of energy and for a card that has 100 damage, that may be too many energy cards to use on it, but you can also choose to set this card up on the bench that way when you move it to the active Pokemon spot you can do 70 damage right away.

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 Roaring Skies set.  This card has an above average HP, and two average to slightly above average moves.  There really isn't anything that I dislike about this card, it just doesn't stand out that much to me.  Together with Spearow from this set, I would give these two cards a 4 out of 5 rating, together they are definitely above average, especially since they can fit into any type deck.

Spearow -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Roaring Skies 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 Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called Peck, for two colorless energy cards, this move does 30 damage.

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, this card could be used in any type deck since it is a colorless type card and it could easily be used as a starter type Pokemon, or a Pokemon that starts the game in the active Pokemon spot, as long as you're okay with not attacking for a turn.  I would recommend putting one of these in a deck, and getting it into the active Pokemon spot right away, then doing Peck every turn you can, it can knock out most Basic Pokemon in two turns or less.  What I especially like about this card is that even though it requires two energy cards to attack, its retreat cost doesn't make you give both of those energy cards up.

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 is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  My only complaint with this card is that it requires two energy cards to attack, other than that this card has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and an above average move.  So if you just need one more Pokemon card for your deck, this Spearow card is worth a look.

Zekrom -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zekrom from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Zekrom is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 130, it has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Zekrom does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Energy Stream, for one lightning energy card this move does 30 damage, plus you can attach an energy card from your discard pile to Zekrom.  Zekrom's second move is called Electric Ball, this move requires four energy cards to use, two lightning, and one each of fire and colorless.  This move does 100 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Zekrom 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 building a lightning and fire type deck, this card is a must have for that deck.  You could use it as a starter type Pokemon in that deck, potentially using up to four of these in your deck, that way you have a much better chance of getting this card in the active Pokemon spot to start the game, you can then do 30 damage per turn and knock out most Basic Pokemon that evolve in two turns.  If you place Zekrom into the active Pokemon spot later in the game and it isn't set up yet, you can use Energy Stream a couple of times and quickly get four energy cards on Zekrom so you can use Electric Ball and do 100 damage a turn.  If you use this Zekrom card with the dragon type Rayquaza EX and Mega Rayquaza EX in a deck, it will be very powerful.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a top notch Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  This card has a well above average HP, fairly low retreat cost, and two amazing moves.  The first move that Zekrom has does good damage for only one energy card and the second move it has is a little slower, but does major damage every turn.  So like I said above, if you're building a fire and lightning type deck, make sure to use this card in your deck.

Reshiram -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Reshiram from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Reshiram is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 130, it has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Reshiram's Ability is called Turboblaze and says that once per turn if Reshiram is your active Pokemon you may attach a fire energy card to one of your dragon type Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Reshiram just has one move called Bright Wing, this move requires four energy cards to use, two fire, and one each of colorless and lightning, this move then does 110 damage, however you must discard a fire energy card attached to Reshiram after using Bright Wing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Reshiram 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 I would use this card in a deck is number one if I had a deck with several dragon type Pokemon in it and number two those dragon type Pokemon required fire energy to attack, that way I could just put Reshiram into the active Pokemon spot for a few turns, and not even attack, just use its Ability to set up the rest of the bench.  If you have plenty of energy to spare, you could put four energy cards on this card and attack with Bright Wing, but because you have to discard an energy each turn this card will really eat up energy cards.  So me personally, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, but it does have some potential and can help in a dragon type deck.

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 Roaring Skies set.  I am not the biggest of fan on this card, but it does have a well above average HP, a good Ability, and a powerful move, albeit slow.  So like I said in the strategy section of this post, if you are building a dragon type deck where the cards need fire energy to attack, this card is worth a serious look, otherwise I would pass on it.
