Litleo -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litleo from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card Set.  Litleo 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. Litleo does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Lunge, which requires two energy cards to use, one each of fire and colorless, and does 30 damage, however when using this move you must flip a coin, if you get a tails the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litleo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Pyroar, 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 cannot recommend using this card in a deck, mainly because it isn't quick on the attack and when you do get it set up to attack, Litleo may end up doing nothing at all.  So the only scenario I could potentially see using this card on its own is if you're already using 4 Trick Coin trainer cards in your deck, therefore giving you a better shot at doing 30 damage a turn with Lunge.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Pyroar, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Overall, this card has potential to do 30 damage a turn, has a solid HP, and a low retreat cost, but because this card is slow on the attack, only has one move, and the only move that this card has is based on a coin flip, there are much better cards out there to use when building a fire type deck.

Litleo -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litleo from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Litleo 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 two colorless energy card retreat cost. Litleo does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Roar, for one colorless energy card this move makes your opponent switch out their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.  Litleo's second move is called Live Coal, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litleo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Pyroar, 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.  The main reason I say this is because it takes two turns for Litleo to attack and it has a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  If you have a spread damage type deck, Litleo might have some reason to be in the deck with its Roar move, but I don't like the move much since you can't choose the Pokemon your opponent puts in the active Pokemon spot.  So if you do choose to use this card in a deck, use only one and use Live Coal most turns.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Pyroar, this card is a below average Basic Pokemon card.  Like I said in the strategy section of this post, this card's retreat cost is too high, and neither move it has is very good.  You can definitely find better fire starter type Pokemon out there, so you don't need to use this one.

Litleo #19/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litleo from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two Litleo cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Litleo 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 two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Litleo card does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Fire Mane, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litleo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Pyroar, 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 could definitely see myself using this card as a starter type Pokemon by having one or two of these cards in a deck.  I would try and get this card into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, put two energy cards on it, then use Fire Mane every turn.  I know Pyroar from this set is supposed to be really good, so you'll definitely want to use this card with Pyroar after I review it tomorrow.

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 Flashfire set.  In my opinion this Litleo card is a little better than yesterday's card because this card can attack quicker and this card is more similar to cards you'll want to use as starter type Pokemon in your deck.  I like this card because Fire Mane does above average damage, and Litleo has a solid retreat cost.  So if you're building a fire type deck, both of the Litleo cards from this set are worth a look.

Litleo #18/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litleo from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Litleo cards I'll be reviewing on my blog.  Litleo is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Litleo card does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Combustion, this move does 60 damage for three energy cards, two fire and one colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litleo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Pyroar, 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 reviewed the second Litleo card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution or knowing anything about the other Litleo card from this set.  So, on its own I would not recommend using this card in a deck because it takes a long time to set up, and if you're forced to move this card into the active Pokemon spot before you have three energy cards on it, it may get knocked out before it is able to attack because it only has 70 hp.  Combustion is a good move, but is a move you would routinely see on Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards.  I guess if you're looking for one more fire type Pokemon to put in your deck, this card wouldn't be that bad, but it is too slow for my liking.  If you do play this card in your deck, the only option if using it on its own is to use Combustion 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 from the Flashfire set.  Despite having a good hp and a high damage move for a basic Pokemon that evolves, I am giving this card a below average rating because its one move is too slow, it has a high retreat cost, and the hp is too high for a card with the move it has.  Overall, this card just isn't that great, hopefully the other Litleo card from this set is better.
