Stunfisk -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Stunfisk from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Stunfisk is a basic, lightning type Pokemon card with an hp of 110, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Stunfisk does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Revenge, for two energy cards, one each of lightning and colorless, this move does 20 damage plus 80 more damage if any of your Pokemon was knocked out during your opponent's previous turn.  Stunfisk's second move is called Thunder Blast, this move does 80 damage for three energy cards, two lightning and one colorless, however you must discard an energy attached to Stunfisk when using this move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Stunfisk is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, because this card has such a high retreat cost, I would be wary of using this card very much in a deck.  I probably wouldn't use it at all, but if you want to use it, here is the strategy I would use, I would make sure to set this card up on the bench, put two energy cards on it, any time one of your Pokemon is knocked out, move Stunfisk to the active Pokemon spot the next turn and then use a Switch trainer to retreat it after using Revenge one turn doing 100 damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the BREAKthrough set.  This card is pretty slow on the attack and has a high retreat cost, but if you use this card solely for revenge, it can be pretty good, and it is definitely worth consideration in a lightning type deck.

Stunfisk -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Stunfisk from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Stunfisk is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to electric type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Stunfisk does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Muddy Water and for one fighting energy card this move does 20 damage to your opponent's active Pokemon and 20 more damage to one of your opponent's benched Pokemon.  Stunfisk's second move is called Rumble which requires two energy cards, one each of fighting and colorless, and does 40 damage and makes the defending Pokemon unable to retreat during their next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since this is a basic Pokemon card with no evolutions, you only need to include this card in the deck if you want to use it.  Stunfisk is a very fast attacker only requiring two energy cards to do the move that requires the most on this card.  I would move Stunfisk into the active Pokemon spot as early in the game as possible and use Muddy Water every turn, not only does this do a fair amount of damage to the defending Pokemon but after using it a couple of turns, your opponent's benched Pokemon will be suffering too.  The only time I would use Rumble is if you can knock out the defending Pokemon by doing 40 damage, otherwise I would stick to Muddy Water.  I would include Stunfisk in a fighting type deck that has other spread damage type Pokemon in it.  I would include 1 or 2 of these cards in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very good basic Pokemon card and would make an excellent starter Pokemon in a deck.  This card can do a good amount of damage very quickly and spread that damage around as well.  Another thing I like about this card is its high hp which is great for a starter Pokemon.  The one thing from preventing me on giving this card a perfect rating is this card's retreat cost which is higher than the energy costs for either of its moves.  But overall this is a great card and I highly recommend it.
