Ambipom -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ambipom from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card Set.  Ambipom is a Stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ambipom does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is Furry Chance, for one colorless energy card, this move does 20 damage plus 60 more damage if when discarding the top card of your opponent's deck the card discarded is an energy card.  Ambipom's second move is called Double Hit and for three colorless energy cards this move does 50 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 2 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ambipom is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Aipom into play (I reviewed Aipom from this set yesterday) and then evolve Aipom into Ambipom.  If you read yesterday's review of Aipom, you'll know that I thought it was an average card overall.  Since it was a colorless type card it could fit into any deck, it had two moves, one that could do 20 damage and the other that could reorganize the top 3 cards of the opponent's deck.  So knowing this about Aipom from this set and looking at this Ambipom card, if you are going to use this line in a deck, I would recommend only using a 1-1 or 2-2 line of this family.  Definitely try and use Trick Coin trainer cards and Double Colorless energy cards.  Ideally, you would use Aipom's Fiddle Around move to rearrange the cards in your opponent's deck the turn before you use Ambipom so that you have the best chance of doing 80 damage with Furry Chance.  Other than that, Double Hit can do major damage every turn, but needs some luck, that is why you'll want to use the Trick Coin trainer with this card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Steam Siege set.  Like I mentioned above, this card works well with the Aipom from this set, and if used in this way, has potential to do major damage with both of its moves.  Together with Aipom from this set, which I gave a 3 out of 5 rating, I would give these cards a 3 out of 5 rating, if you're looking for some colorless type Pokemon for your deck, I would give these two Pokemon a shot.

Ambipom -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ambipom from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Ambipom is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ambipom does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, its first move is called Double Hit and for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.  Ambipom's second move is called Hand Fling and for two colorless energy cards this move does 10 damage times the number of cards in your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ambipom is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Aipom into play (I reviewed Aipom from this set yesterday) and then evolve Aipom into Ambipom.  If you read yesterday's review, I think it would be okay to move Aipom into the active Pokemon spot first, but if you have a choice I would definitely keep it on the bench until you're able to evolve it into Ambipom.  When you get Ambipom into the active Pokemon spot, I would use Hand Fling every turn as long as you have two energy cards attached to Ambipom and you have more than 2 cards in your hand.  So to make sure you have plenty of cards in your hand I would include trainers/supporters in the deck that allow you to draw cards and include Pokemon that don't need that many energy cards to attack, that way you should have more cards in your hand and be able to do more every turn with Ambipom.  If you were to use Ambipom in a deck, I would use a 2-1 line of Aipom and Ambipom in whatever deck you're building.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average stage 1 Pokemon card.  Even though it does have lower than average hp for a stage 1 Pokemon, I think overall the card is average.  Both of its moves are solid, both require little energy, and both require any type of energy making this card fit in any deck.  I wouldn't highly recommend to use this card but it could definitely be a good filler for a deck if you're looking to get 60 cards in your deck.
