Spearow -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Spearow 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.  Spearow does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Peck Bugs, for one Colorless Energy this move does 10 damage, plus 30 more damage if your opponent's Active Pokemon is a Grass type Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spearow is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Fearow, 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, this card could certainly be used as a starter type Pokemon in almost every type deck out there, since it can attack for only one Colorless Energy card.  You could also just keep one of these in a deck, put one Energy card on it on the Bench, and then if your opponent is using a Grass type Pokemon move Spearow to the Active Pokemon spot and do 40 damage for only one Energy card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Fearow, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Other than being limited by only having one move, this card has a low retreat cost, solid HP, and a move that can do up to 40 damage for one Colorless Energy card, so it is definitely worth consideration when deck building.

Spearow -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  Spearow is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an 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. Spearow does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called Peck, for two colorless energy cards, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spearow is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Fearow, 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, this card could be used in any type deck since it is a colorless type card and it could easily be used as a starter type Pokemon, or a Pokemon that starts the game in the active Pokemon spot, as long as you're okay with not attacking for a turn.  I would recommend putting one of these in a deck, and getting it into the active Pokemon spot right away, then doing Peck every turn you can, it can knock out most Basic Pokemon in two turns or less.  What I especially like about this card is that even though it requires two energy cards to attack, its retreat cost doesn't make you give both of those energy cards up.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Fearow, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  My only complaint with this card is that it requires two energy cards to attack, other than that this card has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and an above average move.  So if you just need one more Pokemon card for your deck, this Spearow card is worth a look.

Spearow -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Spearow is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an 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. Spearow does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that it has is called Whirlwind, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage, plus your opponent must switch their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spearow is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Fearow, 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 definitely see using this card in a deck if I were to build a spread damage type deck.  I would try and get this Spearow card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, and then get 10 damage on as many Pokemon as I could, so then I could put in a card from my deck later in the game that does let's say 40 more damage if the defending Pokemon has damage on it already, and this Spearow card should do that for us perfectly.  Outside of a spread damage type deck, this card still could be used, since it has an average HP, and a quick move, but I would not recommend using it as much.  At most, I would use one of these in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Fearow, this card is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set, that would get a slight bump in rating if you're using it in a spread damage type deck.  There really isn't anything to complain about on this card except for that it is limited in what it can do.  It has an average HP, average retreat cost, and a quick, but pretty average move.  So again, if you're building a spread damage type deck, I would give this card a hard look, otherwise, you can probably skip over the thought.
