Slowking -- BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Slowking from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Set.  Slowking is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Slowking has an Ability called Royal Flash that says once per turn you may flip a coin, if you get a heads, move an energy card from your opponent's active Pokemon to one of their benched Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Slowking has just one move called Psych Up that does 40 damage for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless.  However, during Slowking's next turn, Psych Up does 40 more damage, for a total of 80.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Slowking is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Slowpoke into play (I reviewed Slowpoke from this set two days ago) and then evolve Slowpoke into Slowking.  Of course Slowpoke has another Stage 1 evolution in Slowbro that I reviewed yesterday and I'll be comparing those two later in this post.  If you read my review of Slowpoke, you'll know that I thought that card was an average Basic Pokemon card, it had a good HP and two moves, neither move that great, but both moves required colorless energy cards to use and you could attack for only one energy card.  So knowing this about Slowpoke and looking at this Slowking card, I think it would be best to use at most a 1-1 line of this Pokemon family and keep this line on the bench the whole time, attaching a Trick Coin trainer to Slowking and then using its Ability each turn trying to move an energy card off of your opponent's active Pokemon to one of their benched Pokemon and making your opponent's active Pokemon unable to attack.  Besides the Ability, which is the main reason you'd want to play this card, Psych up is a good move for a Stage 1 card so you can definitely use this card in the active Pokemon spot.  Compared to the Slowbro card in this set, this card is very similar, in HP and weakness and retreat cost, plus what it can do, both cards can do a good amount of damage, and both have their advantages by keeping them on the bench, if you're building a water type deck I could see using a 2-2 line of Slowpoke and then 1 each of Slowbro and Slowking.

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 BREAKpoint set.  I really like Slowking's Ability and the fact it can do up to 80 damage a turn for only two energy cards.  So just like Slowbro from yesterday, this is a card you should definitely consider when building a water type deck, and together with Slowpoke from this set, which I gave a 3 rating, this entire line gets a 4 out of 5 rating.
