Scraggy -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Scraggy from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Scraggy is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Scraggy does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Corkscrew Punch, this move requires two darkness energy cards and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Scraggy is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Scrafty, 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 could see myself using one of these cards in my darkness type deck if I just needed one more card to make my deck 60.  This card really isn't that bad, especially as a starter type Pokemon, you could put it into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, wait one turn to get two energy cards on it then use Corkscrew Punch every turn, which does do above average damage.  The reason I wouldn't use too many of these cards in a deck is because Corkscrew Punch requires two energy cards to use and the retreat cost on Scraggy is the same.  Other than that, this card's HP is average so it will be able to endure an attack from your opponent for a few turns.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  I like this cards only move called Corkscrew Punch, it does above average damage and is not too slow to use.  But because this move is the only thing Scraggy can do and because this card has a higher retreat cost, I wouldn't go overboard using this card in a deck, and only using one of these cards if I were to use one at all.

Scraggy -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Scraggy from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Scraggy is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Scraggy does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Tail Rap, this move requires two energy cards, one each of darkness and colorless, and does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 2 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Scraggy is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Scrafty, 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 in a deck.  I say this because this card is just flat out horrible.  Other than having an average hp, that is where this card ends with having positives, this card has a high retreat cost and is very limited in only have one move and the only move it does have may end up doing zero damage every single turn.  If for some strange reason you want to use this card in a deck, definitely don't use more than one, try and get it into the active Pokemon spot to start the game and hope for some luck while using Tail Rap, because if you do get 2 heads, 40 damage is pretty good early on.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Flashfire set and deserves a very low rating.  This card is similar to the Sandile card I reviewed earlier and I gave that card a 2 rating, but this card is even worse because it has a lower hp and a higher retreat cost.  So if you're looking to build a darkness type deck, definitely look elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon card to use.

Scraggy -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Scraggy from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Scraggy is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Scraggy does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move Scraggy has is called Headbutt, this move requires one darkness energy card and does 10 damage.  Scraggy's second move is called Low Kick, this move does 20 damage for two colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Scraggy is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Scrafty, 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, Scraggy would be a pretty decent basic Pokemon card to have in your darkness type deck to have as a starter Pokemon.  If you deem it as a good starter Pokemon you may want to include up to 4 in your deck.  The strategy with a card like this is extremely straight forward, you'll hope to get this card in your hand to start the game, then you can use Headbutt right away and then Low Kick after that, of course you'll want to move this card into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible.  The only thing you'll have to be conscious of is that Scraggy's retreat cost is two energy cards so if you retreat it it won't have any energy cards left on it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  I like this card a fair amount because it has two moves that both do damage and it also has a solid hp, the reason I am just giving it an average rating is because of its retreat cost, if it were one colorless energy card less I would give it a 4 instead of a 3.  But if you're using a darkness type deck, this is definitely a great card to include in it.
