Nuzleaf -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Nuzleaf from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card set.  Nuzleaf is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Nuzleaf does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Harden and for one grass energy card this move prevents damage from your opponent during their next turn if that damage does 60 or less.  Nuzleaf's second move is called Razor Leaf and for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Nuzleaf is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Seedot into play (I reviewed Seedot from this set yesterday) and then evolve Seedot into Nuzleaf.  Nuzleaf does have a Stage 2 evolution in Shiftry, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Nuzleaf is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Seedot you'll know that I thought it was a very poor Basic Pokemon card and one that could not be used on its own, since it had a low HP and the only move it had prevented it from being knocked out, if you got a heads when flipping a coin.  So knowing this about Seedot and looking at this Nuzleaf card, this card is pretty similar in that it has a low HP, and a move that prevents damage from your opponent.  This card does have a move that does damage when attacking, but again, I would not use either of these two Pokemon without Shiftry because this card has too low of an HP and has a weak move, and is geared towards more of just stalling in the active Pokemon spot until you can get Shiftry into play.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a well below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Steam Siege set.  Outside of having two moves, this card doesn't have much for positives, it has a really low HP, two under-powered moves, and just nothing that makes this card usable on its own.  So together with Seedot from this set, I would give both cards a 1 out of 5 rating, this is a line to avoid.

Nuzleaf -- BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Nuzleaf from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card set.  Nuzleaf is a stage 1, darkness type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Nuzleaf does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Corkscrew Punch and for one darkness energy card this move does 20 damage.  Razor Wind is Nuzleaf's second move, and for two colorless energy cards this move can do 40 damage if you get a heads when flipping a coin, otherwise the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Nuzleaf is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Seedot into play (I reviewed Seedot from this set a couple of weeks ago) and then evolve Seedot into Nuzleaf.  Nuzleaf does have a Stage 2 evolution in Shiftry, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Nuzleaf is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Seedot, which was a grass type Pokemon, you'll know I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon, it could attack quickly, doing 10 damage, but was limited in what it could do having only one move and it also had a lower HP.  So knowing this about Seedot and looking at this Nuzleaf card, this card is very similar, having a lower HP, and two decent moves, both quick on the attack, but neither doing enough damage to warrant use of this card in a deck.  So I wouldn't play either Seedot or Nuzleaf in a deck without using Shiftry.  Of course, if you get Nuzleaf into the active Pokemon spot, I would recommend using Corkscrew Punch every turn, unless you can attach a Trick Coin trainer to this card thus giving you two shots at doing 40 damage with Razor Wind.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the BREAKpoint set.  I do like that this card has two moves, both quick on the attack, however, this card can't do major damage every single turn, and add a low HP into the mix, and this is a card that shouldn't be used in a deck.  So far, I am not impressed with this line, together I would give Seedot and Nuzleaf from this set a 1 out of 5 rating.  Both received 2 ratings individually.

Nuzleaf -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Nuzleaf from the Flashfire Pokemon Card set.  Nuzleaf is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Nuzleaf does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Razor Leaf, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 20 damage.  Nuzleaf's second move is called Cut, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, and does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Nuzleaf is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Seedot into play (I reviewed Seedot from this set yesterday) and then evolve Seedot into Nuzleaf.  Nuzleaf does have a stage 2 evolution in Shiftry that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Nuzleaf is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read yesterday's review of Seedot, you'll know I thought it was an extremely poor basic Pokemon card and one that should not be used in a deck on its own.  The only reason you would want it in a deck at all would be to get to the evolutions of Seedot.  Because Seedot is so bad, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck either, this card isn't nearly as bad as Seedot, but it definitely isn't any better than average.  If you were to use only Seedot and Nuzleaf in a deck, I wouldn't use more than a 1-1 line and get Seedot into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, call Call for Family once then evolve it into Nuzleaf and use Razor Leaf after that, three energy cards is too much for me to want to use Cut.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average stage 1 Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  Even though this card does have two moves that both do damage and it has a low retreat cost I am giving this card a below average rating because its hp is low, and neither move Nuzleaf has is very good.  So overall, I would only give this Pokemon line a 1 out of 5 rating, individually Seedot was a 1 and Nuzleaf was a 2.
