Spritzee -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Spritzee Pokemon X and Y Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spritzee from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Spritzee is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Spritzee does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Sweet Scent, for one fairy type energy card this move heals 20 damage from one of your Pokemon.  Spritzee's other move is called Flop, for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spritzee is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Aromatisse, 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 I could definitely see using this card in a deck.  I like both of the moves it has, the only bad thing about this card is its hp, so for this reason I would only use up to 2 of these cards in a deck.  I would of course start using Flop until one of my benched Pokemon was ready then I would retreat Spritzee to the bench, or if you get Spritzee into the active Pokemon spot later in the game you'll want to consider using Sweet Scent to heal your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the X and Y set.  Besides having a below average hp, everything else from this card is average and for those reasons I would definitely use this basic Pokemon card in a fairy type deck.

Mr. Mime -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Mr. Mime Pokemon X and Y Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mr. Mime from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Mr. Mime is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 80, it has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mr. Mime does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Massage, for two energy cards, one each of fairy and colorless, this move does 60 damage to one of your opponent's benched Pokemon.  Mr. Mime's second move is called Slap Down, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one fairy, and does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mr. Mime is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, if you're building a fairy type deck, this basic Pokemon card is one you can easily add to the deck, but if you're building a fairy type deck with a spread damage strategy, this card should definitely be in your deck.  If I were to use this card in a deck, I would use it for Massage mostly, so I would put Mr. Mime on the bench, put two energy cards on it, use Massage a couple of times then retreat it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card that has two decent moves, one slightly above average and one slightly below average.  So this card is average in a regular deck and above average in a spread type deck.  Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend using this card in a deck.

Wigglytuff #90/146 -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Wigglytuff Pokemon X and Y Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wigglytuff from the Pokemon XY Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Wigglytuff cards I'll be reviewing from this 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 retreat cost.  Wigglytuff does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Balloon Barrage, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 20 damage times the number of energy cards attached to this Pokemon.  Wigglytuff's second move is called Double-Edge, this move requires three energy cards, two fairy and one colorless, and does 90 damage, however it does do 10 damage to Wigglytuff itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wigglytuff is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get one of the two Jigglypuff cards from this set onto your bench and then evolve Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff.  I have reviewed both Jigglypuff cards from this set the past two days as well as the other Wigglytuff card.  After reviewing all of those cards, you'll want to use the Jigglypuff numbered 88 with one of the Wigglytuff cards.  Both Wigglytuff cards from this set are pretty good in my opinion, so I would actually say to use a 2-2 line with the Jigglypuff that I mentioned and then 1 each of the Wigglytuff cards from this set.  If you prefer to use a more defensive strategy when playing, yesterday's Wigglytuff card is better, if you are more offensive-minded, today's Wigglytuff card is best.  You'll definitely want to set this Wigglytuff card up on the bench to get at least 3 energy cards on it, then use whichever move will do more damage for you.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a very good stage 1 Pokemon card and a stage 1 card that should be included in most fairy type decks out there.  Like I mentioned in the strategy section of this post, both Wigglytuff cards from this set are pretty good so I would use both in a fairy type deck.  Overall, I would give this Wigglytuff card along with the Jigglypuff I mentioned earlier a 4 out of 5 rating.

Wigglytuff #89/146 -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Wigglytuff Pokemon X and Y Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wigglytuff from the Pokemon XY Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Wigglytuff cards I'll be reviewing from this 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 one colorless energy retreat cost.  This Wigglytuff does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Gather Energy and for one colorless energy card this move allows you to search your deck for a basic energy card and attach it to one of your Pokemon.  Wigglytuff's second move is called Hocus Pinkus, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one fairy, and does 60 damage, besides doing the damage, your opponent's active Pokemon can't attack during their next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wigglytuff is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get one of the two Jigglypuff cards from this set onto your bench and then evolve Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff.  I have reviewed both Jigglypuff cards from this set the past two days and the one I reviewed yesterday, number 88/146 is the Jigglypuff I would recommend out of the two because it can do higher damage and has a higher hp.  So either move Jigglypuff into the active Pokemon spot to start the game or get Wigglytuff onto your bench and put three energy cards on it so you can move it to the active Pokemon spot and use Hocus Pinkus every turn.  I would recommend using this line in your fairy type deck, but wouldn't use more than a 2-2 line of Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff.

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 X and Y set.  Besides having a good hp, and a low retreat cost, I really like Wigglytuff's move Hocus Pinkus which basically makes your opponent unable to attack, plus it does 60 damage a turn which is pretty good.  So if you're building a fairy type deck and need 2 to 4 more Pokemon in the deck, I would definitely recommend this line, overall I would give the Jigglypuff I mentioned and the Wigglytuff from today a 4 out of 5 rating, Jigglypuff was a 3 and Wigglytuff was a 4.
