Horsea -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Horsea from the Burning Shadows set.  Horsea is a Basic, Water type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Water Arrow, for one Water Energy card, this move does 10 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Horsea is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Seadra, and a Stage 2 evolution in Kingdra, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will just act like Horsea does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, because this card just has one move, it isn't worth using, but as a start to this entire line, it is a great card to use, especially in a deck that benefits from spreading damage around.  I like that Water Arrow doesn't state you have to attack a Benched Pokemon, so all of the 6 potential Pokemon in play are fair game.  Other than having only one move, this card does have a solid HP and low retreat cost, making it pretty average overall.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Like I mentioned above, it doesn't make any sense using this card on its own because it only has one move, making it extremely limited later in games, but as a start to the Seadra and Kingdra line, this is a great start!

Horsea -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Horsea from the Primal Clash set.  Horsea is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Horsea does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Bubble, for one water energy card this move paralyzes the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Horsea is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Seadra and a stage 2 evolution in Kingdra, which I'll be reviewing in the future, 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 recommend using this card in a deck since it does not have a move that for sure does damage, and the only move that it does have is a coin flip based move, meaning you only have a 50/50 shot of it working.  So unless you really love Horsea and want it in your deck, do not use this card in your deck.  If you choose to use this card in your deck, use this card early in the game, basically use it to set up your benched Pokemon, put it into the active Pokemon spot to start, put an energy card on it, then try and make it so your opponent cannot attack each and every turn.  Then, when one of your benched Pokemon is set up, retreat Horsea to your bench and leave it there the remainder of the game.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, without considering Seadra or Kingdra, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  This card does have an average HP and low retreat cost, but this card just cannot be used on its own since it only has one move, but this one move not only doesn't do damage but it may not even work most of the time since it is a coin flip based move, so if you're building a water type deck, please look elsewhere for Basic Pokemon to use.

Horsea -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Horsea from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Horsea 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.  Horsea does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Fin Smack.  This move requires one water energy card and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Horsea is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Seadra and a stage 2 evolution in Kingdra, which I'll be reviewing Seadra tomorrow and Kingdra in a few 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, this card wouldn't be one to use in a deck on its own.  I say this because Horsea only has one move, and the only move that Horsea does have depends on coin flips, so it can not be depended on to consistently do damage to your opponent's Pokemon, so for that reason I would not use this card on its own.  With that being said, if you have this card in your deck for some reason, your only option will be to put one water energy card on it and use Fin Smack every turn.

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.  Even though this card has average hp, and a low retreat cost, I am giving this card a below average rating based on the reasons I stated in the strategy section of this review.  For me, this card is not worth the risk of not being able to attack during one of your turns if you flip two tails in a row.
