Slakoth -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Slakoth Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Slakoth from the Furious Fists set.  Slakoth 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 three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Slakoth does not have an Ability and it only has one move. The only move that it has is called Big Yawn, this move requires two colorless energy cards and puts both Slakoth and the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Slakoth is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Vigoroth and a stage 2 evolution in Slaking, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, I would highly recommend not using this card in a deck.  Not only can it do no damage at all, but the amount of energy cards required to retreat this card are more than the amount of energy cards required to use Big Yawn.  This card may work okay if you are using it with at least Vigoroth because you can then get this card into play, put both Pokemon to sleep and hopefully set up your own Pokemon for awhile then evolve Slakoth into Vigoroth.  But again, on its own, I would highly recommend not using this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  The only average thing about this card is that it has 60 for an HP, other than that, everything is below average.  The only move it has requires too many energy cards and does no damage at all, and the retreat cost on this card is unbelievably high.  So I can not recommend to use this card one tiny bit.

Slakoth -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Slakoth Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Slakoth from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Slakoth 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 two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Slakoth does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Smack 'n' Slack which takes one colorless energy card and does 10 damage, however when using this move it puts Slakoth to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Slakoth has a stage 1 evolution in Vigoroth, and a stage 2 evolution in Slaking, there is absolutely no reason to put this card into the active Pokemon spot if it hasn't evolved into at least its stage 1 evolution.  My main reason for saying this is that Slakoth only have one move and the one move it does have puts Slakoth to sleep which may make it unable to attack for several turns in a row, and with only 60 hp, Slakoth won't last long in the active Pokemon spot without getting knocked out.  So I would highly recommend not putting this card into the active Pokemon spot, if you have to, your only choice is to use Smack 'n' Slack every turn and hope to evolve it into Vigoroth sooner rather than later.  I would not use this card on its own in any deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor basic Pokemon card.  It has a good hp, but that is where it ends...its move isn't very good and its retreat cost is pretty expensive.  So I would definitely not recommend using this card at all.  Even though it can fit in any deck since it is a colorless type Pokemon, I still wouldn't use this card.
