Roselia -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Roselia Flashfire Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Roselia does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that Roselia has is called Sleep Powder, this move requires one grass energy card and does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads the defending Pokemon is put to sleep.  Roselia's second move is called Cut, this move requires two grass energy cards and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Roserade, 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 highly recommend using this card as a starter type Pokemon in your grass type deck.  I would recommend using up to 4 of these in a deck.  With 4 in your deck, you'd have a great shot at getting Roselia into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, you could then use Sleep Powder, hopefully flip a heads, then after that use Cut every turn, all while your opponent's active Pokemon is asleep giving you a ton of time to set up your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very good basic Pokemon card from the Flashfire set and a basic Pokemon card that would work perfectly in a grass type deck.  There really isn't anything I dislike about this card, I like how it has two moves, and both moves either do average damage or do a fair amount of damage plus inflict a special condition.  So if you're looking for a starter type Pokemon for your deck or need 1 more card to put into your deck, this card is the perfect fit.

Roselia #13/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Roselia Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Roselia Pokemon card reviews from this set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  Its stage 1 evolution is Roserade and there are two Roserade cards in this set as well.  Roselia has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roselia does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Needling Sting which takes two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, and does 10 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolution cards in this set, I would not use Roselia in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Roselia, one or two, and leave Roselia on the bench until it evolves into one of the two Roserade cards.  If you have to put Roselia into the active Pokemon spot the strategy is quite simple, the only thing you can do is use Needling Sting.  It is too early to say how many of each Pokemon in this line you would put in a grass type deck, but if you're looking to use just Roselia in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 at this point, even after reviewing both Roselia cards I wouldn't use more than 1.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  Both Roselia cards I've reviewed these past two days aren't very good, they both have good hp but that is about it, this card can't do much damage, at least guaranteed damage, so I would not use this card unless you are going to use Roserade.

Roselia #12/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Roselia Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Roselia Pokemon card reviews from this set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  Its stage 1 evolution is Roserade and there are two Roserade cards in this set as well.  Roselia has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roselia does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Double Whip and for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.  Roselia's second move is called Relaxing Fragrance which takes one grass energy card and removes 30 damage and heals all special conditions from this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolution cards in this set, I would not use Roselia in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Roselia, one or two, and leave Roselia on the bench until it evolves into one of the two Roserade cards.  If you have to put Roselia into the active Pokemon spot the strategy is quite simple, I would attack with Double Whip until I either can evolve it into Roserade, or until I have a special condition on Roselia or am about to be knocked out, in that case I would use Relaxing Fragrance instead of Double Whip.  It is too early to say how many of each Pokemon in this line you would put in a grass type deck, but if you're looking to use just Roselia in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 at this point.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  There are a few good things about this card, it does have a good hp, one average move, and a low retreat cost, however the reason I'm giving this card a low rating is because it can't do much damage, and the little damage it can do isn't guaranteed.  I would rather have a Pokemon that is guaranteed to do 20 damage a turn as their only move than a Pokemon like this one that has two moves and the move that does damage isn't guaranteed.
