Oshawott -- Steam Siege Pokemon Card Review

Oshawott Steam Siege Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Oshawott from the Steam Siege set.  Oshawott 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.  Oshawott does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Water Gun which does 30 damage for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Oshawott is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Dewott, and a Stage 2 evolution in Samurott, 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 Oshawott does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck, mainly because the only move it has requires two energy cards to attack, making this card not that useful as a starter type Pokemon.  The good thing with this card however is that when you're attacking, the retreat cost is not higher than its attack cost, like the Shellos card from two days ago was.  So, on its own, I cannot recommend using this card, but with the rest of the Pokemon in this line, this is a good start.

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 Steam Siege set.  Really the only knock on this card is that it takes two energy cards to attack instead of one, but other than that, the move it does have does solid damage, Oshawott has an average HP, and a low retreat cost, so it definitely isn't the worst card out there, but I wouldn't use it on its own.

Oshawott -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Oshawott Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Oshawott from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Oshawott 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.  Oshawott does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  Its first move is called Rain Splash which requires one water energy card and does 10 damage.  Oshawott's second move is called Seashell Attack and for two energy cards, one colorless and one water, does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Oshawott has a stage 1 evolution in Dewott, and a stage 2 evolution in Samurott, I would definitely recommend including both those two Pokemon in a deck with Oshawott.  However with that being said, I would definitely recommend using Oshawott as a starter type Pokemon in your water deck.  You can move this card into the active Pokemon spot right away and attach one energy card to it and use Rain Splash, then the next turn attach another energy card to it and use Seashell Attack, after that you should try and evolve Oshawott into Dewott, but if you're only using Oshawott in a deck, just keep using Rain Splash.  If you have the full line of Oshawott, Dewott, and Samurott in your deck and you don't get Oshawott into the active Pokemon spot early I would suggest evolving the Pokemon on your bench.  If you only want to use Oshawott in a deck, I would use only 1.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very solid basic Pokemon card and a very good start to the Pokemon line.  I like how this card has two moves, both require little energy and both moves do damage.  So you can't go wrong with using this basic Pokemon card in your deck.
