Meloetta -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Meloetta BREAKthrough Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meloetta from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Meloetta is a basic, fighting 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.  Meloetta does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Accelerating Spin, for one colorless energy card, this move allows you to attach two fighting type energy cards from your discard pile to Meloetta, then switch Meloetta with one of your benched Pokemon.  Meloetta's second move is called Prima Rondo, for three energy cards, two colorless and one fighting, this move does 60 damage plus 50 more damage if this card has an psychic energy attached to it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Meloetta 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, the only time when you would want to use this card in a deck is if you're building a dual type deck of psychic and fighting, that way, you can do 110 damage per turn with Meloetta for three energy cards.  So you'll want to keep this card on the bench until you get three energy cards on it, or move it into the active Pokemon spot later in the game, use Accelerating Spin one turn, getting two more energy cards on it, then wait until even later in the game to use it.  So like I said, if you're building a psychic and fighting type deck and need some power, this is definitely a card I would consider, especially if you attach a Fighting Fury Belt trainer card to this card, its HP will increase by 40 and its attack by 10 since it is a Basic Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card that becomes well above average if used in a psychic and fighting type deck.  You can't go wrong doing 110 damage per turn for three energy cards, but because this card is a Basic Pokemon, it is slow on the attack, making this card average overall, but still a solid card to use in a deck.

Meloetta -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Meloetta Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meloetta from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  This is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 80.  Meloetta has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Meloetta does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  Its first move is called Psychic and this move does 10 damage plus 20 more damage for each energy card attached to the defending Pokemon for one psychic energy card.  Meloetta's second move is called Echoed Voice, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and does 50 damage, plus, even you use this move two turns in a row, the second time this move does 100 damage instead of 50.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Meloetta is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  This card would fit best into a psychic type deck and works well as both a Pokemon card that is put into the active Pokemon spot right away at the beginning of the game as well as a Pokemon coming in off the bench late.  If I would get this card in my hand to begin the game I would definitely put this card into the active Pokemon spot and start using Psychic right away.  By doing this, you will prevent your opponent from attaching energy cards to their active Pokemon because if they do, Psychic will do more damage, and most basic, starter type Pokemon have 60 damage or less, so in three turns for sure the defending Pokemon will be knocked out if they attach one energy card to their active Pokemon.  If I wasn't able to put Meloetta into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, I would put it on the bench and then put three energy cards on it, I would then move it into the active Pokemon spot later in the game and use whichever move will do more damage.  I think this is an excellent basic Pokemon card and I would definitely consider putting 2 Meloetta cards in any psychic deck that I'm building.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average basic Pokemon card from the Boundaries Crossed set.  Even though this card doesn't have an Ability, I am still giving this card my highest rating.  I like that it has an above average hp, low retreat cost, and two great moves.  I like the fact that this card can be used early in a game and attack quickly, as well as being used later in a game and doing massive damage.  So definitely consider using this card in your deck if you haven't already.
