Snorlax -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snorlax from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Snorlax is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  Snorlax does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move it has is called Double Lariat, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 2 coins.  Snorlax's second move is called Rollout, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snorlax is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Besides not having any evolutions, because this is a colorless type Pokemon that does not require a specific type of energy to attack, this card will work in any type deck.  However, with that being said, I would definitely be cautious about putting this card in any deck at all.  I say this because even though this card does have a high hp, it is extremely slow, and doesn't do much damage wise.  So if you wanted to use this card in a deck, make sure to use only one, and then try and keep this card on your bench until it has at least three energy cards on it, you can then move it into the active Pokemon spot and use Rollout whenever you can, especially if it will knock out the defending Pokemon, but if you're feeling lucky you can always give Double Lariat a go.  I wouldn't use this card in a deck, unless all my other Pokemon are extremely quick and they can't do much damage, this card would then be a nice change to the other cards you have in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is below average basic Pokemon card.  This card does have a good hp, but both of Snorlax's moves are below average, and both of its moves are slow and take a long time to develop.  What really hurts this card is that it has a high retreat cost, so if you're forced to put this card into the active Pokemon spot before its ready, it won't be able to do much for quite awhile.

Ditto -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ditto from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Ditto is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ditto's Ability is called Transorm and it basically allows you to put any basic Pokemon card from your hand onto Ditto and use that card with whatever Ditto had on it before, energy card wise, damage wise, etc.  Besides the Ability, Ditto does not have any moves of its own.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ditto is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Even though this card does not have any moves, the reason you would use this card in your deck is to bypass retreating your active Pokemon and discarding energy cards to use on of your benched Pokemon.  So if you have Ditto in the active Pokemon spot, you can move whatever Pokemon card you have in your hand and place it on top of Ditto, you do not need to move that basic Pokemon card to the bench, wait to retreat your active Pokemon, then move that benched Pokemon into the active Pokemon spot.  This is really the only use for Ditto, so if you don't have a need for doing this you won't want to use this card in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is below average basic Pokemon card.  This card does have a good hp, but it doesn't have any moves, so if you have to move this card to the active Pokemon spot, and do not have any basic Pokemon cards in your hand, you really can't do anything at all.  So again, this is a below average card that I probably wouldn't use in a deck, however the card does look pretty cool, at least in my opinion.

Farfetch'd -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Farfetch'd from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Farfetch'd is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Farfetch'd does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Hard Swing, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Farfetch'd is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  The only strategy you can really use with this card is to put two energy cards on it, and when it is in the active Pokemon spot use Hard Swing every turn.  Because it is a  basic Pokemon and a colorless one at that, this card will fit in any deck, and may be able to provide your deck with the last card you need to make it a 60 card deck.  Personally, I wouldn't use this card in a deck, because it is just average overall, and it doesn't have a move that requires only one energy card so if you get it into the active Pokemon spot early, you'll have to wait a turn to attack.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  This card is pretty average overall, nothing really stands out to me on this card, it has an average hp, average retreat cost, and an average to above average move.  So you really can't go wrong if you insert or leave out this card from your deck.

Meowth -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meowth from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Meowth is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mewoth does not have an Ability and it only has 1 move.  The only move it has is called Fake Out, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mewoth is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Persian, usually you'll want to use a basic Pokemon card with its evolution, however there is not a Persian card in this set and the last set to have one in was Next Destinies, I reviewed that card here.  If you read that review, you'll know that I didn't think Persian was very well, so you may be better off not using this line at all in a deck or just putting one Meowth card in a random deck.  If you have Meowth in a deck, you'll want to put two energy cards on it and then use Fake Out every turn.  This card will do better earlier in a game because of its ability to paralyze Pokemon, that way, when a Pokemon is paralyzed it will keep Meowth in the active Pokemon spot longer which allows you to set up your Pokemon longer.  Like I said previously, I would not put more than 1 Meowth card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card, it has average hp, an average retreat cost, and decent move.  I do like that this card can be used in any deck, however I wish the card would have a move that only requires one energy card to use instead of two.
