Golurk 41/98 -- Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Golurk from the Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second Golurk card that I've reviewed from this set, the first being a psychic type card with an Ancient Trait.  Golurk is a stage 1, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Golurk card does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Dig Out, for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage, however you must discard the top card of your deck when attacking, if that card is a fighting energy card, attach it to Golurk instead.  Golurk's second move is called Double Lariat, this move requires four energy cards to attack, three colorless and one fighting, and does 90 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Golurk is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Golett into play (I reviewed Golett from this set about a week ago) and then evolve Golett into Golurk.  If you read my review of Golett, you'll know that I thought that card was very poor, having a higher retreat cost than attack cost, and only having a 50/50 shot at doing any damage at all.  So knowing this about Golett and also knowing that I have already reviewed the other Golurk card from this set which is pretty decent overall, having an Ability that can make Golurk two types at once and then do up to 180 damage a turn, this Golurk card can do more damage, potentially every turn, but just like the first Golurk card from this set, is extremely slow on the attack, at least if you want to do major damage.  I probably wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck, just because it requires so many energy cards to attack and retreat, whereas the first Golurk card from this set, should be used for its Ability and set up on the bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Ancient Origins set.  This card does have a good HP and two moves that both do damage.  However, both moves that this card has just can't attack without any consequences, the first move makes you discard a card from your deck and the second one is a coin flip based move.  So together with Golett from this set, which I'm not a fan of, I would only give the two of them a 1 out of 5 rating, don't use them in a deck.
