Treecko -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Treecko Primal Clash Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Treecko from the Primal Clash set.  Treecko is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Treecko does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Quick Attack, this move requires one grass energy card to use and does 10 damage, plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Treecko is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Grovyle and a stage 2 evolution in Sceptile, 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, this card could be used on its own since it has an average HP, low retreat cost, and one average move.  The only thing you'll have to prepare for if you want to use this card in your deck, is for it to be extremely limited.  You could always attach a Trick Coin tool to this card and have a better chance at doing 20 damage a turn with Quick Attack, but either way, I would want to start the game with this card in the active Pokemon spot and not use it at all late in the game, because of this, I would only include one maximum of this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash that is good overall but just is limited in what it can do.  So if you're building a grass type deck and are looking for a Basic, starter type Pokemon, that has the potential to do a good amount of damage for only one energy card, this card is worth a look, but if you need something powerful, look elsewhere.

Treecko -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Treecko Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Treecko from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Treecko is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Treecko does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Pound, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.  Treecko's second move is called Reckless Charge, this move requires two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, and does 30 damage, however this move also does 10 damage to Treecko.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Treecko is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Grovyle and a stage 2 evolution in Sceptile, 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, this card wouldn't be a bad card to add to a grass type deck if you have one spot left in your deck for a Pokemon card.  I say this because, Treecko has an average hp and it has two moves with a maximum damage of 30.  So what I would recommend doing if you have this card in your deck is to get Treecko into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, if you're facing a Pokemon with 60 hp or less, I would put two energy cards on Treecko and use Reckless Charge twice to knock it out.  Otherwise I would probably use Pound.  I wouldn't consider this a great starter Pokemon card, so I would not include 4 of these in a deck without adding in its evolutions, this card is definitely more of a filler card in a 59 card deck to make it 60.

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 that this card has two moves and average everything, moves, hp, retreat cost, etc.  You can't really go wrong with having this card in your deck or even leaving it out.
