Karrablast -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Karrablast from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Karrablast 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. Karrablast does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Peck, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage.  Karrablast's second move is called Headbutt, 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 Karrablast is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Escavalier, which I'll be reviewing in a couple of weeks since it is a metal type Pokemon, 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 if you're building a grass type deck and are looking for starter type Pokemon cards, I would definitely recommend giving this card a look.  Outside of having a little lower HP than I'd like, this card is pretty good.  You can put it into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, do 10 damage the first turn, attach another energy card to it the second turn and do 20 damage every turn after that while getting your other Pokemon set up.  I could see myself using 1 or 2 of these cards in a grass type deck.  Just a word of warning, if you plan to use this card with Escavalier, you'll definitely want to make sure that you have the right energy cards in your deck for both.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Escavalier, this card is an average Basic Pokemon card.  The only thing I am down on with this card is its HP, but everything else is good and makes it a worthy starter type Pokemon.  It has a low retreat cost, and two solid moves.  So you definitely can't go wrong by using this card as a starter type Pokemon card in your deck.

Karrablast -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Karrablast from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Karrablast 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Karrablast does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Peck which requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Karrablast is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Escavalier, which I'll be reviewing in a few weeks, 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 make sure to note that the Escavalier card in this set is a metal type Pokemon, so if you want to use Karrablast with its evolution you'll want to use it in a metal type deck.  So on its own, I probably wouldn't use this card in a deck, I say this because even though this card is pretty average, there are quite a few basic Pokemon cards out there that have a similar move as Peck plus they have a move that only requires one energy card to attack.  But if you want to use this card in a deck, I would recommend using it as a starter type Pokemon card and would put no more than 2 of these in a deck just because they're a little slower.  I would try and start the game with Karrablast, put two energy cards on it and attack until you get one of your benched Pokemon set up and then move that Pokemon into the active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  Even though this card only has one move that requires two energy cards to use, I am giving this card an average rating still because it has an average hp, low retreat cost, one average move, and the one move it does have requires only colorless energy cards.  So again, I would not use this card in a deck, but it is definitely average enough to use in yours.
