Wurmple -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Wurmple Roaring Skies Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wurmple from the Roaring Skies set.  Wurmple 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.  Wurmple does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Flock, for one grass energy card this move allows you to search your deck for a Wurmple card and put it onto your bench.  Wurmple's second move is called Tackle, this move does 20 damage for two colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wurmple is a basic Pokemon card with two stage 1 evolution forms in Silcoon and Cascoon and two stage 2 evolution forms in Beautifly and Dustox, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will just act like Wurmple does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, this card could be used on its own since it has a low retreat cost and can attack for only one or two energy cards, however, looking at Wurmple's Flock move, this move will work better if you intend to evolve Wurmple into one of its Stage 1 forms.  So basically, if you use this card on its own, it has one move that does 20 damage for two energy cards, two colorless energy cards is nice, but I still think this card is a bit too slow for my liking to use it as a starter type Pokemon in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  I do like that this card has a solid HP and two moves, but like I mentioned in the strategy section of this post, if you don't use this card with one of its Stage 1 forms, this card is pretty limited on what it can do and is a little slow on the attack.  So if you're looking for a Basic Pokemon card to use in your deck, there are plenty of other Pokemon to use out there that are better than this card.

Wurmple -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Wurmple Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wurmple from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Wurmple 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.  Wurmple has two evolutions in this set, its stage 1 evolution is Silcoon, and its stage 2 evolution is Beautifly.  Wurmple does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Sleep Poison which requires one colorless energy card and allows you to flip a coin, if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is poisoned and asleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wurmple is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolutions in this set, like I mentioned in the previous section, I would recommend keeping Wurmple on your bench until you can evolve Wurmple into its stage 1 and eventually to its stage 2 evolution.  If you have to put Wurmple into the active Pokemon spot you'll have no choice but to use Sleep Poison, since this is Wurmple's only move, you can hope you get a heads but either way, I would make sure to evolve Wurmple into Silcoon as fast as possible.  Stay tuned for the next two days of card reviews to see how the rest of Wurmple's Pokemon line fairs out.  As of now I can't recommend using this card in a deck because it can't guarantee doing any damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  Based on this card alone and not any of its evolutions from this set, I am going to give this card a very low rating because it can't do any damage for sure, it is only a 50% chance.  So without Wurmple's evolutions this card definitely isn't worth playing, but if for some reason you only have one of these in a deck it better be a deck that is based around inflicting special conditions.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Wurmple from the Dragons Exalted set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Wurmple's stage 1 evolution in Silcoon from the same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!
