Pinsir -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pinsir from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Pinsir is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 110.  Pinsir has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Pinsir does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Roof Fling, for two colorless energy cards this move allows you to make your opponent move their active Pokemon and all cards attached to it back into their hand, if you get a heads when flipping a coin.  Pinsir's second move is called Guillotine, for two grass energy cards this move does 50 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pinsir is a basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Pinsir.  So knowing this, if you're already using 4 Double Colorless energy cards in your deck, I would highly recommend using one of these Pinsir cards in your deck, Roof Fling is a pretty powerful move, and can win the game for you if you're able to use it when your opponent doesn't have any benched Pokemon, or if they have spent many turns setting up a powerful Pokemon this card can ruin their best Pokemon by putting it back into their hand.  If using a grass type deck, this card is also useful since it can then utilize Guillotine and do above average damage for only 2 grass energy cards.  So overall, I think this is a great card and one to consider if building a grass type deck, or one in where you try and make your opponent lose by running out of benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion this is an above average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  In my opinion, there really aren't any negatives on this card, it has a well above average HP, and two great moves, one that can immediately win the game and the second that can do major damage every turn.  So again, if you're building a grass type deck, I would highly recommend this card for it.

Pinsir -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pinsir from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Pinsir is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 100, it has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Pinsir does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Overhead Throw, for one grass energy card this move does 30 damage, however it does 20 damage to one of your benched Pokemon.  Pinsir's second move is called Heavy Suplex, for three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, this move does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each colorless energy card in your opponent's active Pokemon's retreat cost.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pinsir 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, this card may be worth taking a flier on if you're building a grass type deck and looking for some power, you could keep Pinsir on the bench, get three energy cards on it, then if the defending Pokemon has a three colorless energy card retreat cost, you could move Pinsir to the active Pokemon spot and do 100 damage for three energy cards.  The only time I would use Overhead Throw would be if I had another card in my deck that benefited from having damage on the benched Pokemon, otherwise, 20 damage a turn is too much to want to use Overhead Throw.

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 BREAKthrough set.  I like that this card has a high HP and two good moves that can both do above average damage.  As long as you're patient with this Pinsir card, it definitely has some power to it and is worth a look in most grass type decks out there.
