Sawk -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sawk from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Sawk is a Basic, Fighting type Pokemon card with a HP of 90.  Sawk has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Quick Guard, for one Fighting Energy card, this move prevents all damage done to Sawk by attacks from Basic Pokemon during your opponent's next turn, however, you can't use Quick Guard twice in a row.  The second move on this card is called Brick Break, for two Energy, one Fighting and one Colorless, this move does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sawk is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Sawk.  With this being said, although it seems nice in theory that when using Quick Guard, Basic Pokemon can't attack Sawk, if you're opponent has Guzma in there hand, they can easily switch Sawk out of the Active Pokemon spot and get their original Pokemon back into their Active Pokemon spot with a Float Stone Trainer, plus, many decks out there use mainly Pokemon other than Basic Pokemon, this move would have been 100 times better if it was an Ability, on par with something like Alolan Ninetales, still, you can use this move to stall your opponent from doing damage and set up your Benched Pokemon.  Brick Break is a decent move, but not anything to write home about, the main reason to use this card would be for Quick Guard.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Like I stated above, if you're looking for a Pokemon you can potentially use in the Active Pokemon spot to give you time to set up your Benched Pokemon, this card may fit the bill, but overall, I would probably pass on it.

Sawk -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sawk from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Sawk is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sawk does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Kick of Righteousness, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage plus 40 more damage if the defending Pokemon is a Team Plasma Pokemon.  Sawk's second move is called Low Sweep, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one fighting, and does 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sawk is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  If you are building a fighting type deck, I would highly recommend including 4 of these in your deck as a starter type Pokemon.  I would try and get one of these into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, use Kick of Righteousness every turn until you can use Low Sweep.  The reason I would use so many Sawk in a deck is because it is equal to most basic, starter type Pokemon out there since it can do 10 damage for one energy card and has a one colorless energy card retreat cost, but this card is much better than a majority of those cards because it has 90 hp and can do 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average and almost perfect basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Blast set.  I highly recommend using this card in a fighting type deck, not only can it be a great starter Pokemon for your deck, but this card can hold up well any time throughout the entire Pokemon battle since it can do 60 damage per turn and has 90 hp.  Another very nice thing about this card is that it is a common card, rarity wise, this means these cards will be easy to find to put in your deck.  So you really can't go wrong with using this card in your deck, there isn't anything to dislike about this card.
