Wigglytuff -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wigglytuff from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  Wigglytuff is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Wigglytuff does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Expand, for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage and any damage done to Wigglytuff during your opponent's next turn is reduced by 30.  Wigglytuff's second move is called Double Slap and for three colorless energy cards this move does 60 damage times the number of heads you get when flipping two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wigglytuff is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Jigglypuff into play (I reviewed Jigglypuff from this set yesterday) and then evolve Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff.  If you read yesterday's review of Jigglypuff, you'll know that I thought it was an above average Basic Pokemon card and one I would recommend using as a starter type Pokemon since it used only colorless energy cards to attack and could attack for one or two energy cards plus had an above average HP.  So knowing this about Jigglypuff and looking at this Wigglytuff card, this card follows suit in that it can be used in any deck since both moves that this card has require colorless energy cards.  If you plan on doing a lot of damage with this card you'll want to use a Trick Coin trainer to potentially do 120 damage a turn with Double Slap, otherwise you could use a 1-1 line of this Pokemon family and depend on Expand for two energy cards and spend the remaining energy on setting up your benched Pokemon.  Overall, when building a deck, this line is one that should definitely be considered, especially since it is a fairy type card that can be used with any type energy.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Fates Collide set.  Other than depending on coin flips for Double Slap, this card is good overall, with a higher than normal HP and two pretty good moves.  Together with Jigglypuff from this set, I would give this line a 4 out of 5 rating, it is nothing spectacular but very solid and can work in many decks.

Jigglypuff -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Jigglypuff from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  Jigglypuff is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Jigglypuff does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Pound, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage.  Jigglypuff's second move is called Rollout and for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Jigglypuff is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Wigglytuff, 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 card is really the perfect starter type Pokemon to use in a deck.  It can be used in any type deck on its own since it only requires colorless energy cards to attack.  It has an above average HP, and two quick moves, so it can start attacking the very first turn it is put into the active Pokemon spot.  So if you're building a deck and looking for a starter type Pokemon to use, definitely give this Jigglypuff card a look.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Wigglytuff, this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon card.  Other than having a higher retreat cost, this card is great overall, having two quick moves, both taking any type of energy you want, plus it has a high HP.

Genesect EX -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Genesect EX and Genesect EX Full Art from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  Genesect EX is a basic, EX, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Genesect EX's Ability is called Drive Change and says that once per turn, before you attack, you may move a Pokemon Tool card attached to Genesect back into your hand.  Besides the Ability, Genesect has one move called Rapid Blaster, for three metal energy cards this move does 100 damage plus 20 more damage for each metal energy card you discard from Genesect.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Genesect EX is a basic Pokemon card you won't need to use any other cards with this card.  But remember, because this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  So knowing this about Genesect EX, this card is pretty straightforward strategy wise, it is really just an attacker, doing 100 damage per turn.  So you could include one of these in a metal type deck, put three energy cards on it on the bench and then use Rapid Blaster every turn when in the active Pokemon spot.  I do like Genesect's Ability, it can help save Tool cards from going to the discard pile if Genesect is supposed to be knocked out, lets you change Tool cards on Genesect often, and allows you to use the same Tool card on more than one Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average EX Pokemon card from the Fates Collide set.  There really isn't anything to complain about on this card.  It is slow on the attack, but having only one move will let this happen.  The one move that Genesect has is very powerful and does above average damage, add in a solid Ability and this card is one to look at when building a metal type deck.

Lucario 63/124 -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lucario from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second Lucario card that I've reviewed from this set, the other was a fighting type Pokemon.  Lucario is a Stage 1, metal type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Lucario does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Vacuum wave, for one metal energy card this move does 50 damage.  Lucario's second move is called Fight Alone and for two energy cards, one each of metal and colorless, this move does 30 damage plus 60 more damage for each Pokemon fewer you have in play than your opponent.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Lucario is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Riolu into play, there are actually two Riolo cards in this set which I've reviewed in the past, and evolve Riolu into Lucario.  If you read my reviews of Riolu from this set you'll know that I thought both cards were average overall, one card had a higher HP but could only do up to 20 damage per turn and the other had an average HP and could do up to 30 damage a turn, both cards had moves based on coin flips, but both could be used on their own.  So knowing this about the two Riolu cards from this set and looking at this Lucario, if you want to use this metal type card, you'll probably want to use the first Riolu card in this set since it requires colorless energy cards to attack as opposed to fighting type Pokemon.  It is a bit risky with this card, but you could do major damage every turn with Fight Alone if you limit the amount of Pokemon you have in play.  That is the main strategy I would use, only keep one Pokemon on your bench and use Fight Alone to do a huge amount of damage every turn.  Not only can that move does a lot of damage, it is pretty quick to use.  I actually like this card more than the other Lucario in this set, this card can just do major damage overall, both moves.  You really can't go wrong with either Lucario from this set, both have good HP and good moves.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Fates Collide set.  Other than being a metal type card instead of fighting, this card is very good overall.  It has a high HP, and two great moves.  Together with either Riolu card, I would give this line a 4 out of 5 rating, it is definitely one that should be considered.
