Foongus -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Foongus Steam Siege Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Foongus from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card Set.  Foongus is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Foongus' Ability is called Play Ball, it says when you play Foongus from your hand to your Bench, you may move 3 Poke Ball cards from your discard pile to your hand.  Besides the Ability, Foongus has one move called Ram that does 10 damage for one grass energy card.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Foongus is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Amoonguss, 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, unless you're heavily using Poke Ball trainer cards in your deck, this card has no use in a deck, mainly because of its low HP.  Usually if a card has a lower HP, you'll want to get this card into play early so it won't be knocked out so easily, but with this card, it is almost backwards, since to take advantage of its Ability you need to have cards in the discard pile already, thus there wouldn't be any at the beginning of the game.  So unless you're using Amoonguss in your deck, do not use this card in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Amoonguss, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Steam Siege set.  I was going to give this card a 1 rating since it is a card I would never play on its own, but besides the low HP, this card is decent overall with a solid move, Ability, and a low retreat cost, so it isn't all bad, but again, it is definitely not good enough to want to use on its own.

Foongus -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Foongus Plasma Storm Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Foongus from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Foongus is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cherubi does not have an Ability, and it only has one move.  The only move Foongus has is called Astonish, this move requires one colorless energy card and forces you to flip a coin, if and only if you get a heads you can move a random card from your opponent's hand back into their deck.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Foongus is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Amoonguss, 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 Foongus in a deck on its own.  I say this because Foongus has a terribly low hp, and only one move, and a pretty bad one at that.  If for some reason you have to put this card in your deck, I would keep it out of the active Pokemon spot at all times, because the only thing you can do if you're in the active Pokemon spot if wait until it gets knocked out while trying to move some cards from your opponent's hand into their deck, and that is only if you're lucky.   I would not include this card in any deck of mine and you shouldn't either, especially without Amoonguss.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a dreadful basic Pokemon card.  This card is one of the worst cards I've reviewed in awhile, I do not like it at all.  To start, it has a low hp, and to finish this card can't do any damage, and the only thing it can do, move a card from your opponent's hand to their deck, isn't a for sure thing and won't do as much as discarding would have done.  Stay away from this card at all costs.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Foongus from the Plasma Storm set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Foongus's stage 1 evolution in Amoonguss, which is also from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!

Foongus -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Foongus Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Foongus from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Foongus is a basic, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Foongus does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Double Spin which takes one colorless energy card and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, the first thing I would like to point out with this card is that Foongus does have a stage 1 evolution in Amoonguss, however there is not an Amoonguss card in the Dragons Exalted set.  So if you would like to use Amoonguss, you'll have to use one of the cards from the Noble Victories or Next Destinies sets, I've reviewed both of those cards previously on this blog.  The strategy with this card is extremely straightforward, since this is a basic Pokemon card with an evolution, I would not put this card into the active Pokemon spot unless I evolved it into Amoonguss first, I would keep Foongus on the bench and attach no more than 2 energy cards to it.  If you have to move Foongus to the active Pokemon spot, you'll have to use Double Spin every turn.  I would not recommend using this card in a deck unless you want to use Amoonguss, and even if that is the case, I would use a different Foongus card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  This is a very bad, basic Pokemon card in my opinion.  It has an extremely low hp, and only one move that may end up not being able to do any damage at all, this card has no place in the active Pokemon spot, and in my opinion shouldn't be in any deck either.
