Bidoof 117/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bidoof from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of the two Bidoof cards that I've reviewed from this set.  Bidoof is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Bidoof card does have an Ancient Trait called Recovery that says when Bidoof is healed, double the amount healed.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Bidoof just has one move called Drench, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use, and does 20 plus 20 more damage if Bidoof has any water energy attached to it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bidoof is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Bibarel, 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 but I will be comparing both Bidoof cards in this post.  So taking a look at this specific Bidoof card, you could use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a deck if you're building a water type deck, that way you can do 40 damage a turn for only two energy cards.  If you're not using Bidoof in a water type deck, neither Bidoof card from this set is that great of an option, I would much rather keep Bidoof on the bench and evolve it into Bibarel there.  If you are building a water type deck, I would use up to two of these cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Bibarel, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card is the better of the two Bidoof cards in this set, but not by much.  I would avoid both Bidoof cards if possible but if you're building a water type deck, this is a good card to use since it can do 40 damage a turn for only two energy cards.

Bidoof 116/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bidoof from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Bidoof cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Bidoof is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Bidoof card does not have an Ability or Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Gnaw, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage.  Bidoof's second move is called Scrunch, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and prevents all damage done from an attack by your opponent during their next turn if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bidoof is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Bibarel, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet and I haven't even reviewed the second Bidoof card from this set yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution and I do not know which Bidoof card is better.  So, on its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, however if you plan on using this card with Bibarel, it would definitely be acceptable.  The reason I wouldn't use this card on its own is because it is weak overall, only being able to do 10 damage a turn maximum.  It is nice that it has 70 HP, which is above average, but there is no reason for this card to stay in the active Pokemon spot for that long.  So unless you really like Bidoof, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Bibarel, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card.  This card does have some positives like its high HP and a low retreat cost, plus the fact it has two moves, but overall this card is just too weak for me to want to use, and neither move is that great on this card.  So you can definitely find better colorless type cards out there to use in your deck.

Bidoof -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bidoof from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Bidoof is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Bidoof does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Hyper Fang, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 40 damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin, otherwise the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bidoof is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Bibarel, 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 not use this card in a deck.  I say this because even though Bidoof has a good hp and a move that potentially could do 40 damage, if you aren't using this card with Bibarel, you may end up moving this card into the active Pokemon spot, trying to use Hyper Fang a couple of turns without succeeding and then when you try to move Bidoof back to your bench you have to add an additional energy card to it.  Because of these reasons I would not use Bidoof in a deck on its own.  If you choose to use Bidoof in your deck, I wouldn't recommend using more than 1.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor basic Pokemon card from the X and Y set.  Besides having an average hp, this card is pretty bad.  I really don't like moves that are based on a coin flip and if you flip wrong the move does nothing, and since Hyper Fang is this type of move and it is also Bidoof's only move, I would stay away from this card at all costs.

Bidoof -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bidoof from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Bidoof is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Bidoof does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Bang Heads which requires two colorless energy cards to use and does 20 damage, plus it confuses both Bidoof and the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bidoof is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Bibarel, I would recommend keeping Bidoof on your bench and evolving it into Bibarel (which I'll be reviewing tomorrow) before moving it into the active Pokemon spot.  If you have to put Bibarel into the active Pokemon spot, you don't have much choice but to us Bang Heads every turn.  Unfortunately since Bang Heads is going to confuse Bibarel, you may also want to include a couple of full heal trainer cards or similar status removing cards in your deck just to be safe.  Other than using Bang Heads every turn I would try and get Bibarel into your hand so you could evolve it before it has to keep confusing itself turn after turn.  Without Bibarel in your deck, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an below average basic Pokemon card.  Two good things about this card are its hp and type, since it is colorless it can fit into every deck.  However since Bidoof only have the one move that does require two energy cards and confuses itself, I would not recommend using this card at all, and that's why I am giving this card a below average rating.
