Pansage -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pansage from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Pansage is a Basic, Grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Pansage does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Vine Whip, for one Grass Energy card, this move does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pansage is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Simisage, 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, there are two positives with this card, first is that it has an above average HP, and the second is that it can attack for only one Energy card.  So, this card could be used as a starter type Pokemon in a deck, but it isn't one that will do much damage, so you would be much better off using this card to start the game and then evolve it into Simisage.  This card would be better if its move required a Colorless Energy card instead of a Grass Energy, but if you're building a Grass type deck, this card is worth consideration.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Pansage, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  For a Basic Pokemon that has a Stage 1 evolution form, this card has an above average HP, can attack quickly, and has a low retreat cost.  While there isn't anything special about this card, it is solid enough to warrant use at the beginning of a game or to use as a card to get to Simisage.

Pansage -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pansage from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Pansage 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. Pansage does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Fury Swipes, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 3 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pansage is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Simisage, 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 being the only move that this card has is based off of coin flips, and especially late in games, you don't want to put a Pokemon into the active Pokemon spot and not have it do any damage at all.  You could always attach a Trick Coin trainer to Pansage but I would much rather use a Basic Pokemon that can do 20 damage every turn for one energy card than one that potentially could do 30 damage a turn for the same energy cost.  So unless you just really like Pansage, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck without Simisage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Simisage, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card.  I like that this card has a solid HP and a low retreat cost, but having only one move which is based off of coin flips just isn't something that I want in a deck, making this card below average overall.

Pansage -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pansage from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Pansage 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.  Pansage does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Vine Whip, for one grass energy cards this move does 10 damage.  Pansage's second move is called Leech Seed, and for two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, this move does 20 damage, plus it heals 10 damage from Pansage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pansage is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Simisage, 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 definitely use this card as a starter type card in a grass type deck.  I could see myself using 4 of these cards in my deck and having it be my main basic Pokemon card in my grass type deck.  I like that this card has two moves, both do average damage for average amount of energy, but Leech Seed not only does damage but it heals damage from Pansage, thus making Pansage's 60 hp seem even higher.  So strategy wise, you'll want to get this card into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, and use whichever move you can, Leech Seed being the preferred move.  If you do put four of these cards in a deck, you can easily put a couple of these on your bench and then one on the active Pokemon spot.  Since this card only needs two energy cards to attack, you can start setting up your other Pokemon once you get the two energy cards on this one, then retreat Pansage when the time comes.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an excellent basic Pokemon card to use from the X and Y Pokemon card set.  These card isn't extremely powerful or anything, but as far as basic Pokemon go that could be used as starter cards in your deck, this card is very powerful, and definitely is a great option for any grass type deck out there.
