Ribombee -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ribombee from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Ribombee is a Stage 1, Fairy type Pokemon card, with a HP of 60. It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Ribombee's Ability is called Curative Pollen and says that once per turn you may heal 20 damage from one of your Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Ribombee's only move is called Fairy Wind, for one Fairy type Energy card this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ribombee is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Cutiefly into play (I reviewed Cutiefly from this set yesterday) and then evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee.  If you read yesterday's review of Cutiefly, you'll know that I thought it was a well below average Basic Pokemon overall, mainly due to its low HP, plus it only had one move that did a maximum of 10 damage.  So knowing this about Cutiefly and looking at this Ribombee card, this card also has an extremely low HP, especially for a Stage 1 Pokemon.  However, despite its low HP, this card can and should be used in many decks out there, mainly for its Ability, you can use a 1-1 line of this family in your deck and use Curative Pollen from the deck, healing 20 damage from one of your Pokemon each turn.  I wouldn't recommend putting Ribombee in the Active Pokemon spot because of its low HP, but the one move it does have, Fairy Wind, does do a fair amount of damage for only one Energy card.

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 Sun and Moon set.  Despite having a really low HP, one that is average on most Basic Pokemon cards, this card should be used in decks to help heal damage from your Pokemon while sitting on your Bench.  So, combined with Cutiefly from this set, I would still give this line a 4 out of 5 rating, all because I think Ribombee's Ability is that good.

Cutiefly -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cutiefly from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Cutiefly is a Basic, Fairy type Pokemon card with a HP of 30.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Cutiefly does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Fly Around, for one Fairy type Energy card this move does 10 damage, plus, if any damage is done to Cutiefly during your opponent's next turn, if you get a heads when flipping a coin, all damage is prevented.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cutiefly is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Ribombee, 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 would definitely not recommend using this card in a deck, the main reason being that it has such a low HP.  I do like the fact Fly Around may help prevent damage, but this card is better suited to be in the Active Pokemon spot one turn, or evolved into Ribombee on the Bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Ribombee, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I mentioned above, because this card has such a low HP, there is really no reason to use it in a deck without using Ribombee.  You can easily find other Pokemon that can do 10 damage for one Energy card and ones that have a high HP than 30.

Granbull -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Granbull from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Granbull is a Stage 1, Fairy type Pokemon card, with a HP of 110. It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Granbull does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  This card's first move is called Dark Clamp, for one Fairy Energy card, this move does 30 damage, plus it makes the defending Pokemon unable to retreat during your opponent's next turn.  Granbull's second move is called Fight Back, for three Energy cards, one Fairy and two Colorless, this move does 50 damage plus 80 more damage if Granbull has any damage counters on it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Granbull is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Snubbull into play (I reviewed Snubbull from this set yesterday) and then evolve Snubbull into Granbull.  If you read yesterday's review of Snubbull, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card overall, it did have an above average HP and could do 20 damage for only one Energy card, but it was limited in that it only had the one move, and the one move it did have could do damage to Snubbull when attacking.  So knowing this about Snubbull and looking at this Granbull card, it would actually make sense to try and use Snubbull as a starter type Pokemon in a deck, using its Reckless Charge move, doing 20 damage, and if you flip a tails and have to do 10 damage to Snubbull, when you evolve it into Granbull, Granbull's Fight Back move will do 130 damage instead of 50.  This Granbull card would also make sense to use in a deck which features a powerful attacker that may end up doing damage to all Pokemon in play, this Pokemon would again, make Fight Back do 130 damage instead of 50.  So, if you're building a Fairy type deck, or just looking for a powerful attacker, I would recommend giving this Granbull card a look.

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 Sun and Moon set.  Other than when attacking without damage on it, Granbull is a very solid Stage 1 Pokemon card overall, that can do up to 130 damage a turn for only three Energy cards.  Pair this card with Snubbull from the set, and I really like this line overall, I would give both cards in this line a 4 out of 5 rating, they work very well together.

Snubbull -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snubbull from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Snubbull is a Basic, Fairy type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Snubbull does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Reckless Charge, for one Fairy Energy card, this move does 20 damage, however, when using this move, you must flip a coin, if you get a tails, Snubbull does 10 damage to itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snubbull is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Granbull, 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, unless you're desperate for a Fairy type Pokemon card to use in your deck, I would pass on using this card.  Although Snubbull has an above average HP, and can do above average damage when attacking, because it is limited in only having one move and the one move it does have has the potential to do damage to itself, I would look elsewhere for Basic Pokemon to use, or make sure and use this card with Granbull.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Granbull, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  If you have some luck and can always flip a heads, this is a decent starter type Pokemon, but otherwise, keep it on the Bench or don't use it in your deck at all.
