Sableye -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sableye from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Sableye is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. Sableye does not have a Resistance or Weakness, and it has a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sableye does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Tight Jaw, this move requires two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, and does 30 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sableye is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, since this card only has the one move, it is pretty limited so you won't want to use more than one of these cards in a psychic type deck.  If you use this card in your deck, you'll want to get it into the active Pokemon spot early and use Tight Jaw every turn then retreat it when it is close to being knocked out.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  This card has above average hp, one good move, and a low retreat cost, but since the card only has the one move it is pretty limited therefore limiting its potential, which is why I'm giving this card just an average rating of 3.  If you are building a psychic type deck and need one more basic Pokemon in it, this card would work perfectly but otherwise it shouldn't be used in a deck.

Kirlia -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kirlia from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Kirlia is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Kirlia does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Mind Bend, for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, this move does 20 damage, plus confuses the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Kirlia's second move is called Spinning Attack, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kirlia is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Ralts into play (I reviewed Ralts from this set yesterday) and then evolve Ralts into Kirlia.  Kirlia does have a stage 2 evolution in Gardevoir which is in the Radiant Collection subset, but because I haven't reviewed that card yet I will act as though Kirlia is the final evolution in this family.  So if Kirlia is the final evolution in this line, I would stay away from both Ralts and Kirlia from this set.  I say this because Kirlia has a low hp, and only one decent move, so I wouldn't put it in a psychic type deck.  If you choose to use this card in a deck, I wouldn't use more than a 1-1 line of Ralts and Kirlia, I would try to evolve Ralts into Kirlia on the bench then use Spinning Attack every turn.

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.  Other than the low retreat cost and average move in Mind Bend, this card is not worthy at all of being used a in a deck, it has too low of hp, and Spinning Attack is an extremely disappointing move because it requires three energy cards and does way below average damage.  So looking at Ralts and Kirlia from the Legendary Treasures set together, I would give them a 1 out of 5 rating, each individually received 2 ratings from me, but together are not good at all, so stay away from this line.

Ralts -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ralts from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Ralts is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ralts does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Mind Bend, for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, the defending Pokemon is confused.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ralts is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Kirlia and a stage 2 evolution in Gardevoir, which I'll be reviewing the next few days/weeks, I would recommend using Ralts with its evolutions.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, I would not use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a psychic type deck or in any deck for that matter.  Because this card can only do 10 damage total it is quite restricted on what it can do, plus the move that only does 10 damage requires two energy cards which makes the move below average.  So I would not use this card in a deck on its own, if you choose to, don't use more than 1, try to use this card early in the game and use Mind Bend.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  I do like that this card has a low retreat cost, average hp, and the only move it does have not only does damage but inflicts a special condition, possibly.  But this card is below average for me because it only has one move, the move isn't slow, and it is a below average move in my opinion.

Mismagius -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mismagius from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Mismagius is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mismagius does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Absorb Life, for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, this move does 30 damage, and it also heals 10 damage from Mismagius.  Mismagius's second move is called Spooky Shot, this move does 70 damage for three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mismagius is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Misdreavus into play (I reviewed Misdreavus from this set yesterday) and then evolve Misdreavus into Mismagius.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Misdreavus was an average to slightly below average Pokemon card, everything was good on it except for the only move that it had required two energy cards to attack.  So knowing this, if you choose to use this Pokemon family in your deck, I would recommend using a 2-2 line, and setting up Mismagius on the bench.  All you need is two energy cards for Mismagius to be able to attack, of course you'll want to use Spooky Shot when possible, but Absorb Life will make Mismagius's above average hp seem even higher.  This line should be used in psychic type decks, I think it will be a solid addition to any deck out there.

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 Legendary Treasures set.  I like that almost everything about this card is above average, both moves are great, it has a low retreat cost, and a very good hp.  This card is definitely good as a stage 1 card, together with Misdreavus from the Legendary Treasures set, I would give these two cards a 3 out of 5 rating, individually Misdreavus was a 3, Mismagius was a 4.

Misdreavus -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Misdreavus from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Misdreavus is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Misdreavus does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Spooky, for two energy cards, one each of colorless and psychic, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Misdreavus is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Mismagius, 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 recommend using this card in a deck.  Even though Spooky Shot is a good move, it does require two energy cards to use, this card is definitely the better choice if you're deciding between just using Misdreavus or Natu since this card has a higher hp, but neither I can wholeheartedly recommend.  Of course if you want to use this card in a deck, I wouldn't use more than one, and when it is in the active Pokemon spot you'll have no choice but to try and use Spooky Shot every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly below average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon card set.  I would not recommend using this card in a deck on its own because it doesn't have a move that requires only one energy card to use, but if you are forced to put one more card into your deck, this card isn't that bad because it has an average hp, average move, and low retreat cost.

Xatu -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Xatu from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Xatu is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Xatu does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Fortunate Draw, for one psychic energy card this move makes you and your opponent play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins gets to take three cards from their deck, and whoever loses has to discard three cards from their deck.  Xatu's second move is called Miracle Wing, this move does 60 damage for three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is confused.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Xatu is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Natu into play (I reviewed Natu from this set yesterday) and then evolve Natu into Xatu.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Natu was a slightly below average basic Pokemon card because it had below average hp and only one move that required two energy cards to use.  So knowing this, if you decide to play Natu and Xatu in your deck, I would set the line up on your bench.  I wouldn't include more than 1 of each in a psychic type deck, and would mainly use Xatu's Miracle Wing move.  Fortunate Draw really doesn't do anything for me.  So make sure to set this line up on the bench since Xatu only has 90 hp and needs 3 energy cards to attack.  I personally wouldn't use this line in a deck, but overall it is about average.

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 Legendary Treasures set.  I don't like this card that much, but it does have an average hp, one above average move, one below average move, and a low retreat cost.  Overall, I would give the line of Natu and Xatu from the Legendary Treasures set a 2 out of 5 rating, Natu was a 2, Xatu was a 3.

Natu -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Natu from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Natu is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Natu does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Peck, for two energy cards, one each of colorless and psychic, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Natu is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Xatu, 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 recommend using this card in a deck.  Even though Peck is a good move, it does require two energy cards to use, and since Natu has below average hp with 50, I wouldn't risk putting this card into the active Pokemon spot two turns before being able to attack, especially if it isn't to start the game.  Of course, if you choose to use Natu in a deck, I wouldn't recommend using more than 1, and your only option with this card is to use Peck every turn when it is in the active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon card set.  I would not recommend using this card in a deck because it has a below average hp and it is slow on the attack, and quite limited with only one move.

Mewtwo -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mewtwo from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Mewtwo is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 120. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mewtwo does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Power Edge, for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage.  Mewtwo's second move is called Psyslash and for four energy cards, two each of psychic and colorless, this move does 120 damage, however you must discard two energy cards from Mewtwo after using the move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mewtwo is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, since this card requires at least two energy cards to attack and needs four to do major damage, I wouldn't use this card in a deck, and if I was forced to use this card in a deck I wouldn't use more than 1 of these.  I would stock pile as many energy cards on Mewtwo on the bench as I could so that when I put it into the active Pokemon spot I could use Psyslash several turns in a row.  I would also make sure to either have Pokemon with moves that can get energy cards from your discard pile or trainer cards that do this because Psyslash will make you discard a ton of energy cards to your discard pile.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  I like that this card has a good hp and two moves that do a fair amount of damage, but this card definitely isn't better than average overall since it requires so many energy cards to use.  So I personally wouldn't use this card in a deck, but if you included one of these in your psychic type deck it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to do.

Phione -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Phione from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Phione is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Phione does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Pull Out, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to put a card from your discard pile on the top of your deck.  Phione's second move is called Aqua Boomerang, this move requires one water energy card and does 20 damage, it also makes you return Phione and all cards attached to it to your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Phione is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, this card is really a glorified trainer card, because you're going to use this card the first time by using Pull Out to retrieve a discarded card and then the next turn you'll want to use Aqua Boomerang and do 20 damage and return Phione to your hand.  Because Phione has above average hp and an above average move, I would definitely consider putting up to 2 of these in my water type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  This card is very solid overall, it has a good hp, low retreat cost, and two pretty decent moves.  There really is no reason not to use this card in a water type deck if you build one, not only can it act like a Pokemon but it can resemble a trainer card as well.

Empoleon -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Empoleon from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Empoleon is a stage 2, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Empoleon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Surf, for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, this move does 50 damage.  Empoleon's second move is called Emperor's Strike and for three energy cards, two water and one colorless, it does 70 damage, plus if Empoleon has fewer hp left than the defending Pokemon, the attack does 60 more.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Empoleon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Piplup into play and then evolve it into Prinplup before you can evolve Prinplup into Empoleon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  Both of those Pokemon cards are below average and even though they can potentially do above average damage every single turn, I would not use these cards without using Empoleon and I would recommend setting up this entire line on the bench.  Once you get at least 2 energy cards on Empoleon on the bench you can move it to the active Pokemon spot, of course you'll want to use Emperor's Strike when you can since it does more damage than Surf.  I would try and leave Empoleon in the active Pokemon spot as long as possible so Emperor's Strike will more than likely do 130 damage per turn.  To accomplish this, you could put some potion trainer cards in your deck to make sure Empoleon does not get knocked out but still has damage on it.  This card is pretty good and would make a very good second unit in a water type deck, I could see myself using a 3-2-2 line of Piplup, Prinplup, and Empoleon in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this a very good stage 2 Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  I really like both of Empoleon's attacks, not only are they somewhat quick, but they do above average damage no matter what.  Overall, the reason I consider this Pokemon family a second unit family in a deck is because Piplup and Prinplup aren't that great, but overall I would still give this family from the Legendary Treasures set a 4 out of 5 rating.  Piplup and Prinplup received 2s individually and Empoleon of course received a 5.

Prinplup -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Prinplup from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Prinplup is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning  type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Prinplup does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Water Splash that requires two energy cards to use, one each of water and colorless, and does 20 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin it does 30 more damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Prinplup is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Piplup into play (I reviewed Piplup from this set yesterday) and then evolve Piplup into Prinplup.  Prinplup does have a stage 2 evolution in Empoleon that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Prinplup is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read yesterday's review of Piplup you will know that I thought it was a below average basic Pokemon card that although has the potential to do 30 damage per turn, will more than likely disappoint you by only doing 10 damage per turn per two energy cards, so I recommended against using it in a deck on its own.  After summarizing this Prinplup card in the post, I feel like it is the same as Piplup, it is just below average but has the potential to do a good amount of damage.  So if you choose to use Prinplup in your deck, I would only use a 1-1 line of Piplup and Prinplup and then use whichever Pokemon you can in the active Pokemon spot early in the game, both require two energy cards to attack and both cards only have one move, you'll just have to hope for some luck when using this card to do 50 damage per turn.

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.  Even though this card has an average hp and retreat cost, and only requires two energy cards to attack, I am giving it a below average rating because the move is sub-par unless you get a heads when flipping a coin.  So if you put both Piplup and Prinplup from this set together I would give them a 2 out of 5 rating, they both received 2 ratings individually as well.  I would not recommend using this line so far in a deck.

Piplup -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Piplup from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Piplup is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Piplup does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Water Splash, for two energy cards, one each of colorless and water, this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads it does 20 more damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Piplup is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Prinplup and a stage 2 evolution in Empoleon, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, I would not use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a water type deck.  I say this because Piplup is a little slower than I'd like and unless you get a heads when you flip a coin, you will be doing below average damage every turn.  If you choose to use this card in your deck, don't use more than one, get it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, use Water Splash every turn, and retreat it when you have a better benched Pokemon setup.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  This card does have an average hp, average retreat cost, and a possible above average move, but if you aren't lucky while using this card, it can do a maximum of 10 damage per turn, so because of this I would not use this card on its own.

Gyarados -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Gyarados from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Gyarados is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Gyarados does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Howling Rampage, for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless,  this move does 20 damage times the number of Prize cards both players have taken.  Gyarados's second move is called Hydro Splash, this move requires five energy cards, two water and three colorless, and does 120 damage per turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Gyarados is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Magikarp into play (I reviewed Magikarp from this set yesterday) and then evolve Magikarp into Gyarados.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Magikarp was extremely bad and should not be used on its own, so knowing this if you choose to use Gyarados in your deck, you'll definitely want to evolve it on your bench before putting it into the active Pokemon spot.  Not only will you want to do this because Magikarp is bad, but because Hydro Splash takes a long time to develop and the longer you keep Gyarados on the bench, the more likely Howling Rampage will do more damage.  So I would consider putting a 1-1 line of Magikarp and Gyarados in a water type deck, I would keep Gyarados on the bench, get five energy cards on it, and wait until late in the game to use it, depending on which move does more damage, that would determine the move I would use.

I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average stage 1 Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  This card has a great hp, and two very powerful moves.  However both moves take quite a while to develop so this card isn't much better than average in my opinion.  Overall, I would still give Magikarp and Gyarados a 3 out of 5 rating, even though Magikarp received a 1 from me by itself.

Magikarp -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Magikarp from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Magikarp is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 30.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Magikarp does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Flailing Flop, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage, however if you flip a coin and get a tails the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Magikarp is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Gyarados, 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 this card keeps the pattern of if you're not going to use Magikarp with Gyarados, don't use Magikarp at all.  This card is pretty worthless on its own, not only does it have a low hp, but the only move it has may end up doing 0 damage for you per turn.  So I would recommend not using this card in a deck, if for some strange reason you want to use this card in a deck, it can be used in any deck, and you would of course use Flailing Flop every turn, but just like the move suggests, if you want to use this card in your deck, your deck will probably fail you.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an extremely poor basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon card set.  I would not use this card in any deck out there, other than having an average retreat cost, nothing about this card is good at all.

Ninetales -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ninetales from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Ninetales is a stage 1, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ninetales does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Color Coordination, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 50 damage plus 40 more damage if you have any energy cards attached to Ninetales that are the same type as the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ninetales is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Vulpix into play (I reviewed Vulpix from this set yesterday) and then evolve Vulpix into Ninetales.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Vulpix could be used on its own in a deck since it has one pretty good move and an average hp, but using that card with Ninetales is a much better option.  So if you choose to use Vulpix and Ninetales from the Legendary Treasures set in a deck together I would recommend using a 2-2 or 2-1 line in a dual type deck.  I would consider moving Vulpix into the active Pokemon spot immediately or evolving it into Ninetales and putting three energy cards on it, then when in the active Pokemon spot using Color Coordination every turn.  I would make sure to use Ninetales in at least a dual type deck because then it will give you a better chance of being able to do 90 damage per turn with Color Coordination.

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 Legendary Treasures set.  This card has an average hp, one move that is below average normally but can be way above average too, and a low retreat cost, so all in all an average card.  This card can work in any deck since it requires only colorless energy cards and I would consider using the line of Vulpix and Ninetales in a deck because both cards are average individually (3s) and as a whole they are average as well.

Vulpix -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vulpix from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Vulpix is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vulpix does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Firebreathing, for two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, this move does 20 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin the move does 10 more damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vulpix is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Ninetales, 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, this card could be used on its own since it has a decent hp and can do 20+ damage per turn.  Because this card requires two energy cards to attack instead of one, I would not use more than one of these cards on its own in a fire type deck, but this card is definitely usable in a deck on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set. Even though this card can't attack right away, everything else about the card is pretty good, solid hp, low retreat cost, and above average move.  So if you're building a fire type deck and need one more basic Pokemon card in it, this card would do the trick.

Genesect -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Genesect from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Genesect is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Genesect does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Slash, this move requires one grass energy card and does 20 damage.  Genesect's second move is called Gaia Blaster, this move requires four colorless energy cards, and does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each grass energy card attached to Genesect.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Genesect is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, since this card can attack for only one energy card you can use this card to start the game or you can keep Genesect on the bench and put four grass energy cards on it so Gaia Blaster does 130 damage per turn.  I would put 2 of these cards in almost any grass type deck out there and I would make sure to attach only grass energy cards to Genesect.  The main use I would have with this card is to use Gaia Blaster and knock out every single Pokemon in two turns or less.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a way above average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  Other than Gaia Blaster requiring 4 energy cards to attack there really isn't anything to dislike about this card, it has an above average hp, low retreat cost, one quick move that does a fair amount of damage, and one slower move that does way above average damage.  If you're building a grass type deck, this card should definitely be in it.

Crustle -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Crustle from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Crustle is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Crustle does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Hard Press, for two colorless energy cards, this move does 30 damage plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.  Crustle's second move is called Hammer In, for three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, this move does 70 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Crustle is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Dwebble into play (I reviewed Dwebble from this set yesterday) and then evolve Dwebble into Crustle.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Dwebble was a slightly below average basic Pokemon card that should not be used on its own, but could easily be used with this card.  So after summarizing Crustle in the overview part of this post, I think Crustle could easily be used in a grass type deck, it definitely wouldn't be the main Pokemon in that deck, but it still should help your team quite a bit.  I would consider putting a 2-2 or 2-1 line of Dwebble and Crustle and wanting to get Crustle into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible, the earlier in the game the better.  If you use Hard Press early in the game, it will allow you to keep Crustle in the active Pokemon spot for longer and let you set up your bench more easily, but if you choose to use Hammer In most turns, you'll definitely knock out some Pokemon in one turn with a move that does 70 damage.

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 Legendary Treasures set.  This card is a very solid Pokemon card in my opinion and will make a good second or third option card in your grass type deck.  This card has a good hp, and two very good moves.  The only negative on this card is that its hp is a bit high, but not out of control or anything.  Overall, I would give the line of Dwebble and Crustle from this set a 4 out of 5 rating, individually they received 3 and 4 ratings.

Dwebble -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dwebble from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Dwebble is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Dwebble does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Bug Bite, for two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dwebble is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Crustle, 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, this card could be used on its own since it has a decent hp and can do 20 damage per turn, but I wouldn't recommend using this card without Crustle because Dwebble cannot attack its first turn, and the retreat cost for this card is too high in my opinion.  If you would choose to use this card in a deck on its own, I definitely wouldn't use more than 1 of these cards in that deck, and I would get this card into the active Pokemon spot sooner rather than later.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly below average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  Even though I wouldn't use this card in a deck on its own, it is neither terrible or an amazing card overall, it is just average.  20 damage per turn is good from a basic Pokemon card and the 60 hp is quite average at all.  There just really isn't anything that I really really like about this card that would make me want to use it in a deck on its own.

Sewaddle -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sewaddle from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Sewaddle is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sewaddle does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Gnaw, for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sewaddle is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Swadloon and a stage 2 evolution in Leavanny, and another basic Sewaddle card in the Legendary Treasures set all reprinted from Noble Victories, if you would like to know how to use this entire family please read those reviews I wrote previously.  This review is going to focus solely on this Sewaddle card and whether it should be used on its own in a deck.  So after giving an overview of this card, I would not recommend using this card on its own in a deck, even though this card will fit into any deck and Gnaw is an average move, I would not use this card in a deck because it doesn't have an attack for one energy card and only has 50 hp.  Of course if you use this card in your deck, you'll want to get it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and use Gnaw every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a slightly below average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  Because this card cannot attack quickly and it has a below average hp I'm giving it a below average rating, but with that being said, this card definitely isn't terrible and could be used if you're in a dire situation.
