Taillow -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Taillow from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Taillow is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 50. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Taillow does not have an Ability, and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Peck, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Taillow is a basic Pokemon card that has an evolution in Swellow normally I would recommend using this card with its evolution.  However, Swellow has not been in any of the recent sets (yet), so if you go to an official tournament or league, you'll just have to use Taillow on its own instead of with Swellow.  With that being said, because this card is a colorless type Pokemon it can fit into any type deck, but because it can't evolve and can only do 10 damage you'll definitely not want to use more than 1 of these cards in a deck if you choose to use it at all.  Strategy wise, you'll have to put one energy card on Taillow and use Peck whenever it is in the active Pokemon spot.  Personally, I would not use this card in any of my decks, it is too weak in my opinion.

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.  Even though I'm giving this card a below average rating, it still has a couple of positives, this card is a colorless type card, so that is good, and it only requires one energy card to attack, which is also good.  However, this card has a below average hp, plus it can only do 10 damage max and only has the one move.  So I would not recommend using this card in a deck.

Dunsparce -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dunsparce from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Dunsparce 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 free retreat cost.  Dunsparce does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move it has is called Double Draw, this move allows you to draw two cards for one colorless energy card.  Dunsparce's second move is called Dig, this move also requires one colorless energy card, and does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, all effects of attacks to Dunsparce during your opponent's next turn are prevented.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dunsparce is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Besides not having any evolutions, because this is a colorless type Pokemon that does not require a specific type of energy to attack, this card will work in any type deck.  I could see using a couple of Dunsparce cards in any deck I'm using because this card is a good starter Pokemon card, it has an average hp so it can stand its own in the beginning of the game, plus with a free retreat cost it is easy to retreat if it gets in trouble.  So I would try and start the game with Dunsparce in the active Pokemon spot, first put one energy cards on Dunsparce, then depending on how strong the opponent is, would determine what move I would use.  I would hope to use Double Draw a couple of turns in a row so I could set up my benched Pokemon, then once my benched Pokemon are set up I would retreat Dunsparce and put in a Pokemon that I was busy setting up when Dunsparce was in the active Pokemon spot.  Because Dunsparce can only do 10 damage and doesn't evolve, I wouldn't put more than two of these cards in a deck, I really want to have this card in my hand to start the game, but I wouldn't compromise more powerful Pokemon in my deck to get more copies of this card in it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average basic Pokemon card.  This card does have an average hp, but it has two quick, very good moves, and not only does this card attack quickly, it is good defensively and can retreat without having to discard any energy cards at all.  I would definitely recommend considering this card for your deck, no matter the type, in my opinion this is an excellent basic Pokemon card.

Togepi -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Togepi from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Togepi is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 40. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Togepi does not have an Ability, and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Attract Smack, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage, plus it paralyzes the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Togepi is a basic Pokemon with two evolutions in Togetic and Togekiss, I would usually say to wait until I've reviewed those cards to see what to really do with the basic Pokemon in the Pokemon line, however in this case, there is not a Togekiss card in any of the newer sets and there is a Togetic card in the newer sets, but it is in Plasma Storm and I have not reviewed that card yet.  So I'm going to write the rest of my review like this is a basic Pokemon card with no evolutions.  So, if you look at this card like it can't be used with anything else and must be used on its own, I would not recommend using it in a deck, even though it is a colorless type Pokemon card and it has a decent, quick move, I still wouldn't use this card because it has too low of hp for my liking.  With that being said, if you use this card in your deck, the only thing you can do is use Attract Smack every time and hope to flip a few heads, because if you don't, Togepi is going to be knocked out in no time.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is below average basic Pokemon card.  Even though this card has extremely low hp, I still think this card is pretty decent, I like its move because it is quick, requires any type of energy, and can do damage and inflict a special condition.  Other than the hp on this card, this card is actually solid.  But I still wouldn't use this card in a deck if I didn't have to.

Snorlax -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snorlax from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Snorlax is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  Snorlax does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move it has is called Double Lariat, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 2 coins.  Snorlax's second move is called Rollout, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snorlax is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Besides not having any evolutions, because this is a colorless type Pokemon that does not require a specific type of energy to attack, this card will work in any type deck.  However, with that being said, I would definitely be cautious about putting this card in any deck at all.  I say this because even though this card does have a high hp, it is extremely slow, and doesn't do much damage wise.  So if you wanted to use this card in a deck, make sure to use only one, and then try and keep this card on your bench until it has at least three energy cards on it, you can then move it into the active Pokemon spot and use Rollout whenever you can, especially if it will knock out the defending Pokemon, but if you're feeling lucky you can always give Double Lariat a go.  I wouldn't use this card in a deck, unless all my other Pokemon are extremely quick and they can't do much damage, this card would then be a nice change to the other cards you have 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 both of Snorlax's moves are below average, and both of its moves are slow and take a long time to develop.  What really hurts this card is that it has a high retreat cost, so if you're forced to put this card into the active Pokemon spot before its ready, it won't be able to do much for quite awhile.
