Conkeldurr #65/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Conkeldurr from the Noble Victories set. This is the second of two Conkeldurr cards I'll be reviewing from this set. Conkeldurr is a stage 2, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 140. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Conkeldurr doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Chip Away which does 40 damage for one fighting energy card, and this move isn't affected by any effects on the defending Pokemon. Conkeldurr's second move is called Swing Around which takes three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless and does 60 damage plus 30 more damage for each heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this card is extremely straightforward. Set this card up on your bench first and then however many energy cards you have on the card dictates which move you'll use. I would prefer to have three energy cards on it before I put it into the active Pokemon spot so I can use Swing Around every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This Conkeldurr card and yesterday's Conkeldurr card are both average cards, this card is a little quicker and has one less energy card for a retreat cost and does have the ability to do major damage if you get lucky. But if I were to make a fighting type deck and put Conkeldurr in the deck I would probably put one of each of these Conkeldurr cards in the deck.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Conkeldurr from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Archeops from the Noble Victories set.

Conkeldurr #64/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Conkeldurr from the Noble Victories set. This is the first of two Conkeldurr cards I'll be reviewing from this set. Conkeldurr is a stage 2, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Conkeldurr's Ability is called Craftmanship and says that this Pokemon gets 20 more hp for each fighting energy card attached to it. Besides the Ability, Conkeldurr has one move called Top Down which takes four energy cards, three colorless and one fighting and does 80 damage and lets you flip a coin until you get tails, for each heads you get discard the top card of your opponent's deck.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you'll want to load this card up with fighting type energy cards on your bench and when you have four energy cards on it, move it into the active Pokemon spot. As long as you have four energy cards on it, its hp should be 220 when using its Ability and you should be able to do 80 damage per turn. You could always hope to use Conkeldurr late in the game and get three or four heads in a row a few times and make your opponent discard 6 or 7 cards in a row and possibly make them lose the game by running out of cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. I'll have to see how this compares to tomorrow's Conkeldurr card I will be reviewing but this one is an average stage 2 card that once given some time can do a fair amount of damage and last quite awhile with its high hp. Once again, this card has a high retreat cost so I wouldn't want to use too many of these cards in my deck because they are so slow and take up so many energy cards.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Conkeldurr from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of another Conkeldurr from the Noble Victories set.

Gigalith -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Gigalith from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 2, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Gigalith doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Core Cannon and for one fighting energy card it does 20 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon for each fighting energy card you have attached to Gigalith. Gigalith's other move is called Power Gem and does 90 damage for four energy cards, three colorless and one fighting.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would hope to use this card in a spread damage type deck so you could utilize Core Cannon and possibly knock out your opponent's benched Pokemon very quickly, especially the basic ones. I would try and keep Gigalith on the bench until I got at least 3 energy cards on it, hopefully all fighting energy cards, and then use Core Cannon unless 90 damage would one hit KO the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This is your typical stage 2, powerhouse Pokemon card that can do major damage and has a high hp to boot. What makes this more than an average stage 2 card is the fact that Gigalith can spread damage around using Core Cannon. Just be aware that you'll have to give up 4 energy cards to retreat Gigalith.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Gigalith from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of the first of two Conkeldurr cards from the Noble Victories set.
