Pokemon Card of the Day: Jolteon (Undaunted)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Jolteon from the Undaunted set. This is a stage 1, electric type Pokemon card with an hp of 80. It does however have a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon but it also has a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon and no retreat cost. Jolteon doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Agility and this move does 20 damage for one colorless energy card, also when you use this move you can flip a coin and if you get heads you get to prevent all effects of an attack done by your opponent's Pokemon to Jolteon. Jolteon's second move is called Mach Bolt and this move takes 3 energy cards, 2 electric and 1 colorless and does 70 hp. So as far as strategy goes it is really straightforward, you can either wait with Jolteon on the bench until you get 3 energy cards on it and then move it in and use Mach Bolt or you can play it right away and use Agility on the defending Pokemon until you get 3 energy cards on Jolteon and hope that you flip heads every time so you don't get any damage done to Jolteon. I would give this card a rating of 3 out of 5 because I like both of its moves and Mach Bolt is better than the average three energy cost move, the only bad thing about this card is that it has a low hp for a stage 1 Pokemon card with 80. So thanks for reading today's review of Jolteon from Undaunted stay tuned for tomorrow's review of another Undaunted card.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Scizor (Undaunted)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Scizor from the Undaunted set. This is a stage 1, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 90. Unfortunately it has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon but it does have a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon and a low retreat cost of one colorless energy card. Scizor doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves. The first move is called Cut and this move does 50 damage for 2 energy cards, one each of colorless and metal. Scizor's second move is called Metal Claw and this move does 80 damage for 3 energy cards, 1 colorless and 2 metal. As far as strategy goes I would just use whatever move I could afford to use when my turn comes, so if I only have two energy cards attached to this card I would use Cut and if I have more than 2 energy cards attached to Scizor I would use Metal Claw. I would try and use this card as soon as possible because this card can do a lot of damage for not very many energy cards. I would rate this card a 4 out of 5 because to me, both of its moves are above average moves, I would have rated this card a 5 if it would have had a decent Poke-Power but it doesn't it just has the two plain moves. So thanks for reading today's review of Scizor from Undaunted stay tuned for tomorrow's review of another Undaunted card.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Skarmory (Undaunted)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Skarmory from the Undaunted set. This is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 80. Just like most of the other rare Heart Gold/Soul Silver, Skarmory has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon. However it does have a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon and a retreat cost of one colorless energy card. Skarmory doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is entitled Steel Coat and this move allows you to search your deck for one metal energy card and attach it to one of your Pokemon, this move costs one metal energy card. Skarmory's second move is named Razor Wing and this move does 40 damage for 3 energy cards, 2 colorless and 1 metal. As far as strategy goes I would only use this card to attach energy cards to my other benched Pokemon, and I would only do this if my deck had a lot of other metal type Pokemon. If my deck didn't have a lot of metal type Pokemon I wouldn't even include this card in my deck at all because this card really doesn't do much at all, especially for being a rare card. Because of this I would rate this card a 1 out of 5, the only reason I would give this card a 1 is because it has a somewhat high hp for a basic type Pokemon card, other than that Razor Wing is absolutely terrible for 3 energy cards and there are a lot of Poke-Powers and trainers out there that allow you to move an energy card to one of your Pokemon, so this card is one of the cards I would definitely recommend staying away from. So thanks for reading today's review of Skarmory from the Undaunted set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Scizor from Undaunted.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Magcargo (Undaunted)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Magcargo from the Undaunted set. This is a stage 1, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. Unfortunately Magcargo has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon and no resistance, also it has a high retreat cost for a stage 1 Pokemon card with a 3 colorless energy card retreat cost. Magcargo doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Searing Flame and this move does 20 damage for two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, besides doing the damage it also burns the defending Pokemon. So if the defending Pokemon is burned each turn they must flip a coin and if they get tails it does 20 damage to them otherwise nothing but the Pokemon is still burned. Magcargo's second move is called Lava Flow and this move requires 3 energy cards, 2 fire and 1 colorless, and it does 60 damage plus 20 more damage for each fire energy card you decide to discard when you do this move, you don't have to discard any energy if you don't want to. As far as strategy goes I would recommend burning the defending Pokemon first especially if they have a high hp, then I would use Lava Flow and depending on how much hp the defending Pokemon has left I would discard fire energy cards accordingly. I would probably use this card in an all fire deck so I would make sure and have a plethora of fire energy to use so I could discard the energy as often as I like, also make sure and have Pokemon, supporters, and trainers that allow you to retrieve energy cards from the discard pile so you don't run out of energy cards too fast. I would rate this card a 4 out of 5 because Magcargo has 10 hp more than most stage 1 Pokemon, and the two moves it has work very well together, the first move inflicts a special condition on the defending Pokemon and the second move does unlimited damage which depends on the amount of time you take to set Magcargo up. So thanks for reading my review of Magcargo, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of another Undaunted card.
