Rufflet -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rufflet from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card Set.  Rufflet is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with a 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.  Rufflet does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Reckless Charge and for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage, however the move also does 10 damage to Rufflet.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Rufflet is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Braviary, 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 is a colorless type Pokemon card and can use any type of energy to attack, there is merit to at least consider using one of these cards when deck building.  If you can get Rufflet into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, it can do a fair amount of damage right away.  However, you'll either have to retreat Rufflet pretty quickly, evolve it, or somehow remove its self-inflicted damage, if you can do any of those things this card is solid overall, otherwise I would look elsewhere.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Braviary, this is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Like I mentioned in the strategy section of this post, this card potentially could be used in a deck, since it can do 20 damage per turn, has a solid HP, and a low retreat cost, but because of its self inflicted damage and the fact it only has one move, this card isn't that great and shouldn't be a staple in a lot of decks.

Rufflet -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rufflet from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Rufflet 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. Rufflet does not have an Ability and it only has one move, which is called Peck and for two colorless energy cards does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Rufflet is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Braviary, 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 using some Double Colorless energy in your deck, this card would be a decent starter type Pokemon.  You could attach an item card to this card to increase its HP, and then be able to do 30 damage a turn for only one energy card.  If you're aren't using Double Colorless energy and can't increase Rufflet's HP, you would be better off not using this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Braviary, this is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card.  I like that this card can do 30 damage for two energy, however this card has a below average HP, and unless you are using Double Colorless energy cards in your deck, this card is slow on the attack and has a low HP, which are two of the key elements in getting knocked out very quickly.  So, this card isn't terrible overall, but I think you'll be able to find better Basic Pokemon to use in your deck.

Rufflet -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rufflet from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Rufflet 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.  Rufflet does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Incessant Peck, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 10 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads you get when you flip a coin until you get a tails.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Rufflet is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Braviary, 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 suggest using Rufflet in a deck.  I say this because Rufflet only has one move which requires two energy cards so it isn't the quickest move, plus the only move it does have does below average damage unless you get some heads when flipping a coin.  And because Rufflet is a little slower, it won't be good to have it in the active Pokemon spot with only 50 hp.  So those are the reasons why I wouldn't use this card in a deck.  If you have to, you'll want to get this card into the active Pokemon spot early, then use Incessant Peck as often as you can.  The reason you'll want to get this card in early is because later on in the game when your opponent has their Pokemon set up, they should easily be able to knock out a card with 50 hp in one move.

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.  I am giving this card a below average rating because it only has one move and no Ability, plus its only move requires two energy cards to use and depends highly on luck.  The low hp on this card also doesn't help its rating.  The reason I'm not giving this card a 1 is because Incessant Peck could do a good amount of damage if you're lucky.
