Trubbish -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trubbish from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Trubbish is a Basic, Psychic type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Trubbish does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Stomp Off, for one Psychic Energy card this move allows you to discard the top card of your opponent's deck.  Drool is this card's second move, for three Energy cards, one Psychic and two Colorless, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trubbish is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Garbodor, 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, unless you think discarding a card from your opponent's deck each turn is going to be a winning strategy for you, I would either use this entire line together or leave out Trubbish from your deck.  Although this card does have two moves and an above average HP, Drool does well below average damage and this card has a higher retreat cost than the attack cost of its first move.  So although this card wouldn't be terrible to use on its own, I cannot recommend using it in a deck on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Garbodor, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  This card does have a solid HP and two moves, however, neither move on this card is that great, and really it is a card that should be kept on the Bench while you're trying to get Garbodor into your hand.  So again, I do not recommend using this card on its own.

Trubbish -- BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trubbish from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Set.  Trubbish is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Trubbish does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called Acid Spray and for one psychic energy card this move does 10 damage and allows you to discard an energy attached to the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trubbish is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Garbodor, 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 would be an okay card to use in a deck, since it can attack for one energy card, and can remove an energy from your opponent's active Pokemon.  But looking ahead, which I know I said I wouldn't, Garbodor is a very powerful card because of its Ability, so ideally, you would want to keep Trubbish on the bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Garbodor, this is an average Basic Pokemon card, with the only downfall being that its retreat cost is higher than its move.  But other than that, this card has an above average HP, and a good move, that does average damage every time, but could remove an energy from your opponent's active Pokemon.  So like I said, this card could be used in a deck as a starter type Pokemon, but I would much rather keep it on the bench and use it with Garbodor.

Trubbish #65/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trubbish from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the third of three consecutive Trubbish cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Trubbish is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Trubbish does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Tool Drop that requires two energy cards, one each of pyschic and colorless, and does 20 damage times the number of Pokemon Tool cards attached to all the Pokemon in play.  So this is the most different Trubbish card of the three from the Plasma Storm set, this one has a higher hp, only one move, and a higher retreat cost.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trubbish is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Garbodor, which I'll be reviewing the next two days since they're two Garbodor cards in this set, 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, however I have reviewed the two other Trubbish cards from this set so I'll try and compare them in the rest of this post.  So on its own, this Trubbish card would be the weakest of the three Trubbish cards from this set.  I would not recommend using this card on its own because it depends on having Pokemon Tool cards in play.  So if you want to use this specific card in your deck, you're going to have to include the first Trubbish card I reviewed from this set, #63/135, and use that card first and use Pile Up a couple of turns getting Pokemon Tool cards attached to your Pokemon, once you've done that, you can then move this Trubbish card into play and use Tool Drop.  So if you want to use this strategy you'll have to include plenty of Tool cards in your deck as well as at least 1 of each Trubbish card I mentioned above.  However, in my opinion if I were to use a Trubbish card I would opt for the middle Trubbish card I reviewed, #64/135, this card doesn't depend on other Pokemon and can do damage with both of its moves.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  This is the lowest rated of the three Trubbish card from this set.  Even though this card has the highest hp, I am giving it the lowest rating because on its own this card cannot do any damage, even if you include the Trubbish card you need in this set, you still need to have plenty of Pokemon Tool cards in your deck and then attach them to your benched Pokemon.

Trubbish #64/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trubbish from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of three consecutive Trubbish cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Trubbish is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  So those things are exactly the same as yesterday's Trubbish card.  This Trubbish 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.  Trubbish's second move is called Sludge Bomb, this move requires three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, and does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trubbish is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Garbodor, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, there are actually two Garbodor cards in this set, and I have not reviewed the third Trubbish card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution or knowing anything about the other Trubbish cards from this set, I'll compare all three Trubbish cards from this set in tomorrow's review.  So on its own, this Trubbish card would be a very average to slightly above average basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.  If I were to use this card on its own, I would include 1 of these cards in a psychic deck.  Unlike yesterday's Trubbish card, this card will work best in a psychic type deck because Sludge Bomb requires mostly psychic type energy cards.  Again, like yesterday, I would try and get this card in the active Pokemon spot to start the game and start attacking immediately with Pound, then if I have time, attach two more energy cards to Trubbish and use Sludge Bomb.  This card is better to use on its own than yesterday's card because it can do 40 damage a turn, which really is a below average move, but it may be able to knock out a basic Pokemon early in the game by using the move twice.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card that is a little better than yesterday's Trubbish card.  Overall this card is average like I said, it has an average hp, average retreat cost, and two average moves.  The reason I consider both moves average on this card even though Sludge Bomb is a below average move damage wise for the amount of energy cards it requires is because that move is like an added bonus, because most basic Pokemon cards similar to Trubbish only have one move that does 10 damage.

Trubbish #63/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trubbish from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of three consecutive Trubbish cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Trubbish is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Trubbish does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Pile Up, this move requires one psychic energy card and allows you to flip a coin, if you get a heads you may search your deck for a Tool card and put it into your hand.  Trubbish's second move is called Sludge Toss, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trubbish is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Garbodor, which I'll be reviewing in three days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, there are actually two Garbodor cards in this set, and I have not reviewed the other two Trubbish cards from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution or knowing anything about the other Trubbish cards from this set.  So on its own, this Trubbish card would be a very average basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.  If I were to use this card on its own, I would put this card in any deck regardless of the type because the main move I would use from this card would be Sludge Toss which requires colorless energy cards.  Because this card has a lower hp, I would try and get Trubbish into the active Pokemon spot to start the game and then use Sludge Toss every turn, of course using Pile Up first while only having one energy card attached to Trubbish, just make sure to have Pokemon Tool cards in your deck.  I wouldn't use this card in a deck on its own, but if you choose to I wouldn't use more than 1 in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  This card is extremely average, average hp, average retreat cost, and two average moves.  This card won't hurt a deck by having it in it, but it won't improve it very much either, so like I mentioned in the review section of this post, I wouldn't use it in a deck, we'll have to see if the other two Trubbish cards in this set are better than this one.
