Sewaddle -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Sewaddle Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sewaddle from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Sewaddle is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sewaddle does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Gnaw, for two colorless energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sewaddle is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Swadloon and a stage 2 evolution in Leavanny, and another basic Sewaddle card in the Legendary Treasures set all reprinted from Noble Victories, if you would like to know how to use this entire family please read those reviews I wrote previously.  This review is going to focus solely on this Sewaddle card and whether it should be used on its own in a deck.  So after giving an overview of this card, I would not recommend using this card on its own in a deck, even though this card will fit into any deck and Gnaw is an average move, I would not use this card in a deck because it doesn't have an attack for one energy card and only has 50 hp.  Of course if you use this card in your deck, you'll want to get it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and use Gnaw every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a slightly below average basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set.  Because this card cannot attack quickly and it has a below average hp I'm giving it a below average rating, but with that being said, this card definitely isn't terrible and could be used if you're in a dire situation.

Carnivine -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Carnivine Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Carnivine from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Carnivine is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Carnivine does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Ambush Bite, for two energy cards, one each of grass grass and colorless, this move does 20 damage and if you get a heads when you flip a coin it does an additional 20 damage and you are able to discard an energy card attached to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shuckle 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, since this card has only one move that can do a maximum of 40 damage you won't want to use too many of these cards in your grass type deck since it is pretty limited.  I would recommend putting 1 of these in a grass type deck and then putting it into the active Pokemon spot and using Ambush Bite for as many turns as possible.  Since this card doesn't have an Ability or anything, all you can do with the card is use its only move.

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 Legendary Treasures set.  Even though this card is extremely limited, the one move that it does have in Ambush Bite is a pretty good move, and with 80 hp, the card should be usable anytime during the game.  So I would use this card in a grass type deck, but just not more than 1.

Cherubi -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Cherubi Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cherubi from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Cherubi is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cherubi does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Double Spin, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 2 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cherubi is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Cherrim, which isn't in this set but is in Plasma Storm, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since that Cherrim card is in a different set and I have reviewed it previously, I'll act as though I plan on using this Cherubi card on its own.  So on its own, I would absolutely not recommend using this card in a deck, this card has way too low of hp and an extremely bad move to merit use on its own.  For some strange reason if you have this card in your deck, the only option when you have it in the active Pokemon spot is to use Double Spin every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor basic Pokemon card from the Legendary Treasures set and a basic Pokemon card that should not be used in any deck ever.  Even if you want to use a Cherrim card in your deck, make sure to look elsewhere for a Cherubi card, you just can't do anything with a card that only has 40 hp and a move that has the potential to do 0 damage every single turn.

Shuckle -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Shuckle Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shuckle from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  Shuckle is a basic, 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.  Shuckle does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Share, for one grass energy card this move allows you to heal 40 damage from one of your benched Pokemon.  Shuckle's second move is called Double Stab, this move requires three energy cards, two grass and one colorless, and does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shuckle 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, you'll only want to use this card in a deck containing grass energy cards because the only move you really want to use on this card is Share.  I think of this card as a reusable trainer card.  I would keep this card on the bench most of the game, then if my bench Pokemon need healing, I would put this card into the active Pokemon spot, use Share a turn or two, then retreat Shuckle back to the bench.  The 80 hp on Shuckle should be enough to allow this card to last at least a turn in the active Pokemon spot no matter the time in the game.  I personally don't think it is a good idea to attach three energy cards to Shuckle to use Double Stab, because this move is based off of coin flips, the energy cards will be better used elsewhere.  I would probably include 1, possibly 2 of these in a grass type 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 from the Legendary Treasures set.  I would probably use this card if I was building a grass type deck because it can heal 40 damage a turn so in my opinion it is better than a trainer card.  The reason I'm not giving this card a rating better than average is because Double Stab does not do anything for me at all and I would probably never use the move.
