Ditto -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ditto from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Ditto is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ditto's Ability is called Transorm and it basically allows you to put any basic Pokemon card from your hand onto Ditto and use that card with whatever Ditto had on it before, energy card wise, damage wise, etc.  Besides the Ability, Ditto does not have any moves of its own.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ditto is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Even though this card does not have any moves, the reason you would use this card in your deck is to bypass retreating your active Pokemon and discarding energy cards to use on of your benched Pokemon.  So if you have Ditto in the active Pokemon spot, you can move whatever Pokemon card you have in your hand and place it on top of Ditto, you do not need to move that basic Pokemon card to the bench, wait to retreat your active Pokemon, then move that benched Pokemon into the active Pokemon spot.  This is really the only use for Ditto, so if you don't have a need for doing this you won't want to use this card in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is below average basic Pokemon card.  This card does have a good hp, but it doesn't have any moves, so if you have to move this card to the active Pokemon spot, and do not have any basic Pokemon cards in your hand, you really can't do anything at all.  So again, this is a below average card that I probably wouldn't use in a deck, however the card does look pretty cool, at least in my opinion.

Farfetch'd -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Farfetch'd from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Farfetch'd is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Farfetch'd does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Hard Swing, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Farfetch'd is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  The only strategy you can really use with this card is to put two energy cards on it, and when it is in the active Pokemon spot use Hard Swing every turn.  Because it is a  basic Pokemon and a colorless one at that, this card will fit in any deck, and may be able to provide your deck with the last card you need to make it a 60 card deck.  Personally, I wouldn't use this card in a deck, because it is just average overall, and it doesn't have a move that requires only one energy card so if you get it into the active Pokemon spot early, you'll have to wait a turn to attack.

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 pretty average overall, nothing really stands out to me on this card, it has an average hp, average retreat cost, and an average to above average move.  So you really can't go wrong if you insert or leave out this card from your deck.

Meowth -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meowth from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Meowth is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mewoth does not have an Ability and it only has 1 move.  The only move it has is called Fake Out, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mewoth is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Persian, usually you'll want to use a basic Pokemon card with its evolution, however there is not a Persian card in this set and the last set to have one in was Next Destinies, I reviewed that card here.  If you read that review, you'll know that I didn't think Persian was very well, so you may be better off not using this line at all in a deck or just putting one Meowth card in a random deck.  If you have Meowth in a deck, you'll want to put two energy cards on it and then use Fake Out every turn.  This card will do better earlier in a game because of its ability to paralyze Pokemon, that way, when a Pokemon is paralyzed it will keep Meowth in the active Pokemon spot longer which allows you to set up your Pokemon longer.  Like I said previously, I would not put more than 1 Meowth card 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, it has average hp, an average retreat cost, and decent move.  I do like that this card can be used in any deck, however I wish the card would have a move that only requires one energy card to use instead of two.

Raticate -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Raticate from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Raticate is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a free retreat cost.  Raticate does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Gnaw Through, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to discard a Pokemon tool card attached to the defending Pokemon.  Raticate's second move is called Super Fang, this move requires three colorless energy cards and allows you to put damage counters on the defending Pokemon until it has 10 hp left.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Raticate is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Rattata into play (I reviewed Rattata from this set yesterday) and then evolve Rattata into Raticate.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Rattata was a horrible Pokemon card and one not to use in a deck, however after taking a look at this card, you may have to use one Rattata card in your deck so you can have one Raticate in your deck.  You would hope to just keep Rattata and Raticate on your bench, put three energy cards on Raticate and when your opponent puts a Pokemon into play that can either do a ton of damage, or one that has a massive hp, move Raticate into play, use Super Fang, and retreat it for free the next turn.  Because this card is a colorless type Pokemon card, this Pokemon line can be used in any deck, like I said earlier, I wouldn't use more than a 1-1 line of Rattata and Raticate in a deck, it is definitely risky to use this line in a deck, but it could definitely do a great deal of damage if it faces the right Pokemon.

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. Even though this card has a low hp and only one good move, I am still giving this an average rating, I feel that Raticate's free retreat cost and Super Fang move make up for its other shortcomings.  Overall, I can only give this Pokemon line a 2 out of 5 rating.
