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.

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.

Chandelure -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Chandelure from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Chandelure's Ability is called Cursed Shadow and it says that once during your turn if Chandelure is your active Pokemon you may put three damage counters on your opponent's Pokemon any way you like. Besides the Ability, Chandelure has a move called Eerie Glow which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, plus the defending Pokemon is now Burned and Confused.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this is a great spread damage type card that should be the staple in any psychic deck. The way I would use this card is to use its Ability every turn and do damage to the opponent's benched Pokemon, then I would use Eerie Glow and do 50 damage and burn and confuse the defending Pokemon. I would keep doing this until Chandelure is knocked out or you retreat it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating. This card really is amazing, it does 80 damage every turn and not only inflicts one special condition on the defending Pokemon but two. So as soon as you get this card set up on your bench, put it into play and prepare for your opponent to cry in agony.

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

Beheeyem -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Beheeyem from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Beheeyem doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Synchronoise and for one psychic energy card it does 20 damage plus 20 more damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon that is the same type as your opponent's active Pokemon. Beheeyem's other move is called Psyshot which does 40 damage for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Synchronoise can do some spread damage I would suggest putting this card in a spread damage type deck. I would use Synchronoise every turn if your opponent's active Pokemon's type matched most of its benched Pokemon, if not I would use Psyshot every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. There really isn't anything too special about this card unless your opponent has a single type deck than this card can do a fair amount of damage. Other than that, Beheeyem's hp is low and 40 damage isn't very much for a move, especially for a stage 1 card.

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

Reuniclus #52/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Reuniclus from the Noble Victories set. This is the first of two Reuniclus cards I'll be reviewing from this set. This is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Reuniclus doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Future Sight and for one colorless energy card you may look at the top 5 cards of your deck and arrange them in any order you like and put them back on the top of your deck. Reuniclus' second move is called Net Force and for one psychic energy card this move does 40 damage times the number of Reuniclus cards you have in play.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you'll definitely want to have more than one Reuniclus cards in your deck so you can put more than one into play so Net Force will do more than 40 damage. Other than that, you can use Future Sight to level up Pokemon if you have a lot of Stage 2 Pokemon in your deck, you can move the evolutions to the top of the deck. If I were to use this card, I would stick with Net Force the entire time.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating. This is probably the worst card I've reviewed so far from the Noble Victories set, this card is a stage 2 card, yet it has an extremely low hp, and can't do much damage unless you have a lot of other Reuniclus in play which if you're forced to put this card into your active Pokemon spot you won't have much time to get other Reuniclus into play before this card is knocked out.

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

Cofagrigus #46/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cofagrigus from the Noble Victories set. This is the second of two Cofagrigus cards I'll be reviewing from this set. This is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Cofagrigus doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Damagriigus and for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless you may move all damage counters from 1 of your benched Pokemon to the defending Pokemon. Cofagrigus' other move is called Perplex and for three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, it does 30 damage and confuses the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you'll definitely want to put this card into a deck that has a lot of Pokemon that either has free or low retreat costs. That way you can play whatever card you like until it is close to getting knocked out, retreat it, put Cofagrigus into play and use Damagriigus and remove all the damage from the Pokemon you just retreated and put that damage onto your opponent's active Pokemon. So I would search for the Pokemon with free retreat costs and the highest hp. If you don't have any benched Pokemon with much damage on them, use Perplex and hope that your opponent is confused when trying to attack.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card is above average in some aspects and below average in others. It has an average hp, and has the potential to not only do a lot of damage but heal your Pokemon at the same time. This card would be extremely powerful if you could retreat it cheaply instead of having to put 3 energy cards on it to retreat it, and you'll want to retreat Cofagrigus so you can use Damagriigus numerous times without getting knocked out.

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

Victini #43/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Victini from the Noble Victories set. This is the third Victini card I'll be reviewing from this set. This is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Victini doesn't have an Ability but it does have one move called V-Blast that does 120 damage for one psychic energy card. However in order to do this move you have to flip two coins and have neither of them be tails.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would put this card in a dual type deck that included Fire and Psychic type Pokemon. The reason I would have these two types is because I would include another Victini card from this set in the deck, card #14/101. I would include that card in the deck so I could utilize its Ability so I'd have two chances at being able to use V-Blast instead of 1. Other than that, I would only put 1 of these cards in the deck and have it be a wild card in the deck, it could prove very beneficially or it may be a waste of space in the deck. I would probably turn to this card as a one hit wonder, I would give V-Blast a chance for a turn, and if I didn't get it, retreat Victini and not use it again.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card is pretty basic and the card relies entirely on luck, with that being said, other than its attack, everything else on this card is average so I will give it an average rating.

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

Eelektross -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Eelektross from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 2, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Eelektross doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Acid and for two colorless energy cards it does 30 damage and the defending Pokemon can't retreat during the next turn. Eelektross' other move is called Wild Charge and does 90 damage for three energy cards, two electric and one colorless, however this move does 10 damage to Eelektross.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, with such a high hp on this card I would definitely try and use Wild Charge every turn, that way you could knock out most Pokemon in two turns or less. The only time I would use Acid would be if 90 damage wouldn't knock out the defending Pokemon and I was fairly certain your opponent would retreat their active Pokemon the next turn. I would put this card in a mainly electric type deck but it wouldn't be the card the deck was built around.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card seems pretty average to me, especially for a stage 2 Pokemon card. There is nothing to get excited about here, if you need a line of 4-3-2 Pokemon in your electric type deck this card may fit you but it probably isn't the best line of Pokemon to put in your deck.

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

Zebstrika -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zebstrika from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Zebstrika doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Quick Attack which takes one colorless energy card and does 10 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin. Zebstrika's second move is called Shock Bolt which does 90 damage for three energy cards, two electric and one colorless. However, when performing this move you have to flip a coin, if you get tails you have to discard all electric energy cards attached to this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this card is extremely straightforward. Whichever move you have enough energy for, use that move. I would hope to use Shock Bolt every turn and never flip a tails. There isn't much else for strategy with this card, it is mostly a filler Pokemon in an electric type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. Even though Zebstrika can do 90 damage in one turn, I still give this card a rating below the average. I don't like the fact you have to wait two turns for sure if you use Shock Bolt and flip a tails. I would have liked this card better if you only had to discard a set number of energy cards instead of all electric energy cards because if you only attach one type of energy to this Pokemon you are going to be able to use Shock Bolt once and then more than likely not be able to use it again because you'll get knocked out before two or three turns are over.

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

Kyurem -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kyurem from the Noble Victories set. This is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Kyurem doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Outrage and for two colorless energy cards it does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Kyurem. Kyurem's second move is called Glaciate and for three energy cards, one colorless and two water, it does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this card has to automatically go in any water type deck that does spread damage. I would stick to Glaciate every turn and hopefully knock out 2 or 3 Pokemon after a couple of turns. I would keep using Glaciate until Kyurem was close to feinting, then I would use Outrage (that is if I didn't retreat Kyurem by discarding two energy cards). I would probably wait until my opponent had a full bench before putting this card in the active Pokemon spot, that way when I did use Glaciate it could do damage to the maximum number of Pokemon per turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating. As long as you set this card up on your bench, this card is absolutely golden. It can do 30 damage to everyone of your opponent's Pokemon each turn with Glaciate and as long as you can survive a few attacks this card can knockout most basic Pokemon in 2 turns and stage 1 Pokemon in 3 turns. I am really happy this card has a high hp and thus allows you to do even more with Outrage once you get close to feinting.

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

Cryogonal -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cryogonal from the Noble Victories set. This is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Cryogonal doesn't have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Ice Chain and for one water energy card you may switch the defending Pokemon with one of your opponent's benched Pokemon. Cryogonal's second move is called Frost Vanish and for two water energy cards it does 40 damage and you may return this card and and all cards attached to it to your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:

So as far as strategy goes, I would ponder putting one of these cards in a water type deck and waiting until later into the game to play this card, I would move it into play, use Ice Chain, and then depending on how many energy cards I had attached to it I would either retreat it, or put another energy card on it and use Frost Vanish, I would continue using this strategy throughout the game to hopefully move the opponent's strong Pokemon out of the active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:

I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card is pretty average, even though it does have a good hp, it is a little slow and the first move can't really do much early in the game. So if you are going to use this card, wait awhile before putting it on your bench.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:

So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Cryogonal from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Kyurem from the Noble Victories set.

Jellicent -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Jellicent from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Jellicent's Ability is called Cursed Body and says that any time this Pokemon is your active Pokemon and is damaged by an opponent's attack that Pokemon is confused. Besides the Ability, Jellicent has one move called Hydro Pump which does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each water energy card attached to Jellicent all for two colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you'll definitely want to attach strictly water energy cards to this Pokemon so that Jellicent can actually do some damage, I wouldn't attach more than 3 energy cards to this card because with only 110 hp, Jellicent won't last too long in play. However whenever Jellicent is your active Pokemon you'll definitely want to use its Ability to Confuse the defending Pokemon if it attacks. I would put this card in a deck that inflicts a lot of special conditions to really annoy your opponent.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This card is just above average. It has a little higher hp than most stage 1 cards and it is quicker than most stage 1 cards that can do a fair amount of damage. I would definitely consider using this card in a water type deck, just be weary that its retreat cost is more than its attack cost.

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

Vanilluxe -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vanilluxe from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 2, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Vanilluxe doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Double Freeze which does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, besides doing the damage, if either coin is a heads, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed. Vanilluxe's other move is called Frost Breath which does 60 damage for 2 water energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would actually use Double Freeze more than I would use Frost Breath with this card, the reason I would do this is that Double Freeze has the possibility of doing more damage than Frost Breath and more than likely you are going to Paralyze your opponent for the next turn. I would stick to Frost Breath if I knew 60 damage or less would knock out that defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This card is pretty good, it has decent hp, and two great moves that both do a good amount of damage, one inflicting a special condition, and both moves only requiring two energy cards. Depending on your luck, this card could be extra special and could knock out a majority of your opponent's Pokemon without them being able to get much damage on you.

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

Carracosta -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Carracosta from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Carracosta's Ability is called Solid Rock and says that if any damage is done to this Pokemon by attacks flip a coin and if heads reduce that damage by 50. Besides the Ability, Carracosta has one move called Crunch which does 80 damage for four energy cards, two each of water and colorless. Besides doing the damage, you may discard an energy attached to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this card is quite slow, but I would recommend getting this card into your active Pokemon spot as soon as possible. Not only does this Pokemon have a high hp, but it can take massive amounts of damage with its Ability and do 80 damage each turn and possibly make your opponent unable to attack the next turn. So like I said, get this card into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible and attack with Crunch every turn, hopefully this card will last quite awhile and you can then set up your other Pokemon on your bench while this Pokemon stalls and knocks out defending Pokemon at the same time.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating. This card truly is amazing, not only does it have the stats of a stage 2 card, but it can defend too. Besides its retreat cost, this card can defend, attack, and stall like the best Pokemon out there. So if you're looking to build a water type deck, this card should definitely be in it.

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

Seismitoad -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Seismitoad from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 2, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Seismitoad doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Round which does 30 damage the number of Pokemon you have in play that have the Round attack, and Seismitoad can do this move for two colorless energy cards. Seismitoad's other move is called Hyper Voice which does 70 damage for three energy cards, two water and one colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, if you want to have Seismitoad work to its full potential you're going to have to put other cards into your deck that know the move Round so Round can actual do some damage. Other than Round, I would recommend using Hyper Voice every turn, this move is pretty decent, 10 damage better than average. I would evolve Seismitoad on my bench and when I get the necessary three energy cards on it, use Hyper Voice until it gets knocked out or you win the game.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. Seismitoad has good hp, and can do a fair amount of damage but there really isn't anything special about this card. I wish it would inflict a special condition on the defending Pokemon, do damage to your opponent's benched Pokemon, or have an Ability, but it has none of that so that is why I am giving it an average score with a 3.

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

Victini #15/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Victini from the Noble Victories set. This is the second of three Victini card reviews from this set. This is a basic, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Unlike yesterday's review, this card doesn't have an Ability and it only has one move called V-Create which takes two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless and does 100 damage, however this move doesn't do anything if you have 4 or fewer benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this card is absolutely worthless unless you have pretty much a full bench so you'll want to wait until very late in the game to use the card. Because of this fact, I wouldn't recommend putting very many of these cards into your deck if you do use this card. I would more than likely put this card in later in the game when one of my Pokemon gets knocked out, then use V-Create and retreat it back the next turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. Even though this card can do a great amount of damage I still see it as an average card. It can't do anything under most circumstances and with only 70 hp this card isn't going to last more than a turn or two when you do get it into play. If you dare you this card in your deck just make sure to load up your bench before using this card.

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

Victini #14/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Victini from the Noble Victories set. This is the first of three Victini cards I'll be reviewing from this set. This is a basic, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Victini's Ability is called Victory Star and says that once during your turn you may re-flip any coins you flipped during that turn. So if you didn't get very good results this Ability basically is a do-over. Besides the Ability, Victini has one move called Store Power which takes two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless and does 30 damage, after using this move you must move all energy attached to this Pokemon to one of your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would definitely use this card in decks where you have a lot of cards that depend on coin flips, that way you could keep this card on your bench the whole game and get two chances every turn at doing even more damage by getting better coin flip results. Other than its Ability, this card isn't too bad of a starter Pokemon since it can do 30 damage after two turns and then the energy can be put on a Pokemon that needs the energy cards more.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. I really do like this Pokemon's Ability but since its only move makes you remove all energy cards from Victini you're going to have to spend an additional turn attaching an energy to this card to be able to retreat it. So I would definitely use this card in a fire type deck but I would keep it on my bench as long as possible.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:

Virizion -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Virizion from the Noble Victories set. This is a basic, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Virizion does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Double Draw and for one colorless energy card you can draw 2 cards from your deck. Virizion's second move is called Leaf Wallop which takes two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless and does 40 damage. The turn after using Leaf Wallop this attack does 80 damage instead of 40.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would recommend setting this card up on your bench, and as soon as you get two energy cards on it, put it into the active Pokemon spot and use Leaf Wallop twice in a row, more than likely you should be able to knock out at least one of your opponent's Pokemon. However this card can actually be used in any type deck if you want to use it has a way to get extra cards into your hand, you could actually just use Double Draw and make this card quite worthy of being in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This card has good speed and hp for a basic Pokemon and can function in a grass type deck or any type of deck. It can do quite a bit of damage and also help you get the cards you need in important moments of the game. And if you have to, you can easily retreat this card for only 1 energy card and put this card back into the active Pokemon spot quickly and do damage again after only one turn.

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

Accelgor -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Accelgor from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a free retreat cost. Once again, this card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Acid Spray and for one colorless energy card it does 20 damage plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin you may discard an energy attached to the defending Pokemon. Accelgor's second move is called Slashing Strike and for one grass energy card this move does 60 damage, however Accelgor can't use this move the next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would try to get this card into the active Pokemon spot as fast as possible for two reasons: The first reason being that this card is extremely fast, only requiring one energy card to do either of its moves. The second reason is that this card can do 60 damage with only one energy card and if you get this card into the active Pokemon spot right away in the game you have a good shot of knocking out some of your opponent's basic, starting Pokemon. So obviously I would use Slashing Strike first and then the next turn I would be forced to use Acid Spray. I would only put this card into the active Pokemon spot against weak Pokemon with HP's less than 60.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This card is extremely quick and can quickly make your opponent fall behind in battle. Not only is this card quick but it can move in and out of the active Pokemon spot without having to give up any energy cards so move this card in and out of play often and use Slashing Strike to one hit KO your opponent's weak Pokemon.

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

Lilligant -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lilligant from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost. Lilligant doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Aromax and for one grass energy card it can heal all damage from one of your benched Pokemon. Lilligant's second move is called Windmill and for two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, it does 30 damage and makes you switch this card with one of your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, like yesterday's review, this card could do well in any type deck as long as you have some colorless energy cards in it, that way you can use Aromax and heal any Pokemon you have in play. I would recommend using Pokemon that have high HP's and low retreat costs so you can do a lot of damage while taking in a lot of damage, once you get a lot of damage, retreat that card, hopefully for free, put Lilligant into play, use Aromax one turn to heal that Pokemon you just took out, and then use Windmill the next turn to put that freshly healed Pokemon back into the active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. The strategy for this card is solid however with only 80 HP you're not going to be able to put Lilligant into play too many times before it gets knocked out. So I would save this card for a card you desperately need healed. Because of its low HP I give this card an average score, if the HP would have been higher the score of this card would have been much higher as well.

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

Leavanny -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Leavanny from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Leavanny's Ability is called Leaf Tailor and says that each of your Pokemon that has any energy attached to it has no weakness. Besides the Ability, Leavanny has one move called Cutting Arm which takes three energy cards, two colorless and one grass and does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, Leavanny's Ability makes this card quite appealing in any deck since it prevents all of your Pokemon from having any weaknesses once you get energy attached to them. This would be especially important if you use a lot of slow, basic type Pokemon in your deck (i.e. a lot of Legendary Pokemon). If you do put Leavanny into the active Pokemon spot this card is a no-brainer on strategy since it only has the one move, I would just hope for two heads so you can do 80 damage per turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. Like I said above, this card has a very nice ability, but for a stage 2 Pokemon, it doesn't have the greatest HP, and it isn't guaranteed to do much damage. I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time leveling up Pokemon to get a Stage 2 card in play and then have it only be able to do 40 damage.

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

Druddigon -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Druddigon from the Noble Victories set. This is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has no weakness or resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Druddigon's Ability is called Rough Skin and it says any time Druddigon is your active Pokemon and it is damaged by an opponent's attack put 2 damage counters on the attacking Pokemon. Besides the Ability, Druddigon has one move called Clutch which does the standard 60 damage for three energy, three colorless energy cards in Druddigon's case.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this is a fantastic card to start your game with, not only does it have a high hp and the potential to do a fair amount of damage but it can do damage every turn no matter what as long as your opponent attacks you. That way you can do damage every turn until you get three energy cards on it and then possibly do 100 damage every turn. I would for sure put four of these cards in any type deck and prepare to get them out into the active Pokemon spot as fast as possible and hopefully beat your opponent in record time.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating. This is one great basic Pokemon card that can be used in any deck. It can do 100 damage every turn and with 100 hp on itself this card should be able to last many weak basic Pokemon's attacks.

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

Landorus -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Landorus from the Noble Victories set. This is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to electric type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Landorus doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Abundant Harvest and for one fighting energy card you may attach one energy card from your discard pile to this Pokemon. Landorus' second move is called Gaia Hammer and for three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless, it does 80 damage plus 10 damage to all other Pokemon in play.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would try and include this card in a spread damage type deck to possibly knock out more than one of your opponent's benched Pokemon at once when you use Gaia Hammer. However if you're forced to play this card before it has the necessary energy on it, hopefully you can use Abundant Harvest and be able to use Gaia Hammer in two turns.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This card is quite good for a basic Pokemon card. Usually Pokemon like this can do major damage but are extremely slow, this card can do pretty good damage and is pretty fast as long as you use Abundant Harvest, and if you get it out soon, it should last awhile against your opponent's basic Pokemon.

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

Cofagrigus #47/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cofagrigus from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a 2 colorless energy card retreat cost. Cofagrigus' Ability is called Durable Body and says that if this Pokemon would be knocked out, you may flip a coin, if heads this Pokemon isn't knocked out and has 10 remaining hp left on it. Besides the Ability, Cofagrigus has one move called Ambush, which takes two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, and does 40 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, there is a lot of luck that goes a long with this card since both its Ability and its only move allow you to flip a coin. If I were to use this card I would probably keep it on my bench until my opponent has one prize card left, I would then put this card in and hope that I get a heads when I flip a coin to stay alive longer than I should. Other than trying to stay alive longer than normal this card really doesn't have much for strategy since it only has the one move.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. This card is very average to below average and can't do much damage. I do like its Ability but like I said earlier both things on this card require luck and with a two energy card retreat cost I would rather spend that two energy cards on another Pokemon card than have this card in my deck.

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

Spiritomb -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spiritomb from the Arceus set. This is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has no weakness, a -20 resistance to colorless Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Spiritomb's Poke-Body is called Keystone Seal and says that as long as Spiritomb is your active Pokemon neither player can play trainer cards. Besides the Poke-Body, Spiritomb has two moves, the first move is called Darkness Grace and for no energy at all, you may search your deck for a Pokemon that evolves from one of your Pokemon and put it onto that Pokemon, if you do this, put one damage counter of Spiritomb. Spiritomb's second move is called Will-o-the-wisp which does 10 damage for one darkness energy card.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, there really is not a strategy with this card, it is just that bad. Usually Spiritomb is a great spread damage type Pokemon but this card can't do anything. If you do put it in your deck make sure to use its Poke-Body and then use Darkness Grace to evolve your Pokemon really quick. There is no reason to put any energy cards on this card since it only does 10 damage, just use it to evolve all your benched Pokemon. So I would recommend using this card with a deck that includes a lot of stage 1 and stage 2 Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating. It is an extremely bad Pokemon card that can't do much damage at all. If you don't have any basic Pokemon or Stage 1 Pokemon on your bench that can be evolved this card has no value at all and deserves a 0 out of 5 ranking.

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

Sceptile #31/99 -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sceptile from the Arceus set. This is the second of two Sceptile cards I will be reviewing from this set. This is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130. It has a +30 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. This Sceptile doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Leaf Supply and for one Grass energy card this move does 30 damage and allows you to attach a basic energy card from your hand to one of your Pokemon. Sceptile's second move is called Dual Cut which takes three energy cards, one grass and two colorless, and does 70 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would consider putting one of each Sceptile into my deck so depending on the strategy of my opponent I could choose which Sceptile I want to use. I would put the three energy cards on Sceptile on the bench and if my opponent puts in a Pokemon with a high hp I would move this Sceptile card in and use Dual Cut and hope to do 140 damage every turn. I wouldn't use Leaf Supply unless 30 damage would knock out the defending Pokemon or I need to quickly set up a benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. Both Sceptile cards that I have reviewed are quite similar and I don't have any opinion on which one is better, I would suggest going with one of each and in the moment of the game choose which version to use. This card is a little risky since you may end up not being able to do any damage if you get two tails but that is the risk you'll have to be willing to take.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Sceptile from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Spiritomb from the Arceus set.

Sceptile #30/99 -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sceptile from the Arceus set. This is the first of two Sceptile cards I'll be reviewing from this set in consecutive days. This is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120. It has a +30 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Sceptile's Poke-Body is called Green Breath and says that every time you attach a Grass energy card to Sceptile you may remove 2 damage counters from Sceptile. Besides the Poke-Body, Sceptile has two moves, the first move is called Leaf Blast which takes one grass energy card and does 20 damage times the number of grass energy cards attached to Sceptile. Sceptile's second move is called Poison Claws and for four energy cards, three colorless and one grass it does 60 damage and poisons the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would use this card in a mostly grass type deck so you could utilize its Poke-Body better and always remove 2 damage counters when attaching energy cards to Sceptile. Plus if you only attach grass energy cards to Sceptile you can choose between both of its moves if you have four grass energy cards attached to Sceptile. I would first Poison the defending Pokemon with Poison Claws and then do 80 damage with Leaf Blast.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This is a stage 2 card that you can actually put out in the active Pokemon spot before you have the right amount of energy cards on it because you can heal Sceptile using its Poke-Body. However this card is quite slow if you want to do a fair amount of damage and with only 120 hp for a stage 2 Pokemon card you would wish you would have more time to set this card up.

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

Raticate -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Raticate from the Arceus set. This is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70. It has a +20 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a free retreat cost. Raticate doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Recruit which takes one colorless energy card and says to look at your opponents hand, choose a Supporter card from their hand and discard it, whatever Supporter card you discard of your opponent's, you may perform the action of that supporter card. Raticate's other move is called Extend Fang which again takes one colorless energy card and does 20 damage unless Raticate has a Pokemon Tool attached to it then this move does 60 damage instead of 20.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Raticate is a normal type Pokemon any energy card type can be attached to it so this card can be used in any type deck. I would recommend attaching a Pokemon Tool to Raticate as soon as it gets into the active Pokemon spot so you can use Extend Fang and do 60 damage. I would only use Recruit after I know my opinion has a Supporter card in their hand.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. This card is very quick only requiring at most one energy card to attack and with a free retreat cost you can move this card in and out of play whenever you like. However this doesn't make up for the fact that this card can't do much damage and with a low hp of 70, it won't be in play very long before getting knocked out.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Raticate from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of the first of two Sceptile cards from the Arceus set.

Rapidash -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rapidash from the Arceus set. This is a stage 1, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a +20 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and free retreat cost. Rapidash's Poke-Body is called Wild Guard and says that all effects of attacks are prevented by Rapidash by attacks from SP Pokemon. Besides the Poke-Body, Rapidash has two moves, the first move is called Fire Mane which does 20 damage for one fire energy card. Rapidash's second move is called Rising Lunge which takes three energy cards, two colorless and one fire and does 50 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would consider putting a 2-1 line of Ponyta and Rapidash in your fire type deck just in case you face SP Pokemon, because if you do this card is unstoppable since SP Pokemon have no effect on Rapidash. Other than that, this card is pretty easy to make a strategy for, just attack with whatever move you have the amount of energy for.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. Rapidash's Poke-Body is nice but probably won't be used too often, and if it isn't used this card is pretty weak, both of its moves can't do much and with a low hp it will get knocked out pretty fast, just make sure to retreat it for free if you are closed to getting knocked out.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Rapidash from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Raticate from the Arceus set.

Raichu -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Raichu from the Arceus set. This is a stage 1, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a +20 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Raichu doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Boosted Voltage which does 20 damage for one electric energy card, however if Raichu has a tool card attached to it, Raichu does 20 additional damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon that isn't evolved. Raichu's second move is called Thunder Blast and for four energy cards it does 70 damage. This move requires 3 colorless energy cards and one electric, however after using this card you must discard one electric energy card.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you will definitely want to have a Tool card attached to Raichu so it can do spread damage to all your opponent's unevolved benched Pokemon. I would include this card with other spread damage type Pokemon cards and make sure to get Raichu into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible so Voltage can do as much damage as possible since the earlier the game the more likely the benched Pokemon are unevolved. I would use Thunder Blast when possible but I would stick to spread type damage moves overall.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card can be very good, it can spread damage around or do major damage to the active Pokemon, but if you don't a Tool card attached to Raichu Voltage can't do that much and if you don't have any energy cards in your hand after using Thunder Blast once again Raichu can't do much, so the bad and the good equal each other so that is why I give this card a 3 out of 5.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Raichu from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Rapidash from the Arceus set.

Porygon-Z G -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Porygon-Z G from the Arceus set. This is a basic, SP, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Its Poke-Power is called Dowsing Code and says that when you play Porygon-Z from your hand to your bench you may search your discard pile for up to two tool cards and put them back into your deck. Besides the Poke-Power, Porygon-Z has a move called Ambush which takes 3 colorless energy cards and does 20 damage plus 40 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would recommend staying away from this card at all costs, it is absolutely terrible. If I were to use this card, you could at least put it in any deck since it only requires colorless energy cards, and if you have some tool cards in your deck this is a card you may want to have in your deck so you can get those tool cards back after they are discarded. Other than using its Poke-Power, Ambush is a terribly weak move that requires way too many energy cards to do little damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating. This card can't do much and even given energy cards it still can't do much. This is just a great example of how bad SP Pokemon cards can be and I am sure glad they haven't made these types of cards in a few sets now.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Porygon-Z G from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Raichu from the Arceus set.

Pichu -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pichu from the Arceus set. This is a basic, baby type Pokemon card. It is an electric type Pokemon, has an hp of 50, a weakness of 10 to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Like other Baby Pokemon, Pichu has a Poke-Power called Baby Evolution which says that once during your turn you may put Pikachu on this card, if you do you may remove all damage from Pichu. Besides the Poke-Power, Pichu has one move called Baby Steps which requires no energy cards and says that you may look at the top 5 cards in your deck and put one of them into your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I wouldn't recommend using Baby Pokemon, but if you would like to use this card in your deck make sure that you get Pichu out early, so that you won't get knocked out right away and when you evolve into Pikachu it will be healed, and secondly you can use Pichu's only move while not using any energy cards, and get an important card into your hand right away.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. For a baby Pokemon card this card isn't too bad. I like how it doesn't require any energy at all so you can spend time setting up your benched Pokemon when this card is in the active Pokemon spot and while you are stalling with Pichu you can use its only move to get cards you need for your benched Pokemon.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Pichu from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Porygon-Z G from the Arceus set.

Pelipper -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pelipper from the Arceus set. This is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a +20 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Pelipper doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Water Pulse and for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless it does 30 damage and puts the defending Pokemon to sleep. Pelipper's other move is called Continuous Crush which takes four energy cards, two each of water and colorless, and does 70 damage. Besides doing the damage you can flip a coin until you get tails, however many heads you get that is how many energy cards you may discard from your opponent's active Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, it really depends on how many energy cards you have on Pelipper, I would recommend getting four energy cards on Pelipper before putting it into the active Pokemon spot but if you have to put that Pokemon out earlier, I would use Water Pulse first to put the defending Pokemon asleep and then take a turn or two to get four energy cards on Pelipper and use Continuous Crush most of the time after that. Just make sure not to try and put four energy cards on Pelipper if it has a fair amount of damage on it already because this card only has 90 hp it won't take too long to get knocked out, especially if the defending Pokemon isn't asleep.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. I like how this card can inflict a special condition and do a lot of damage, most importantly with a bit of luck you may prevent one of your opponent's most powerful Pokemon from being able to attack by removing numerous energy cards from it when you use Continuous Crush. However this card is slow and has a low hp for a card that requires four energy cards to attack.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Pelipper from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Pichu from the Arceus set.

Omastar -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Omastar from the Arceus set. This is a stage 2, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120. It has a +30 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Omastar doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Time Spiral and for two colorless energy cards it allows you to choose one of your opponent's evolved Pokemon, take the highest stage Pokemon card from the Pokemon and put it into your opponent's deck. Omastar's second move is called Primal Tentacles which does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Helix Fossil, Dome Fossil, and Old Amber you have in your discard pile for only two energy cards, one each of water and colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, let me say right away I wouldn't use this card in my deck, however if I did, I would keep it on my bench and wait for my opponent to put into the active Pokemon spot a stage 2 Pokemon, I would then put Omastar into play and use Time Spiral, then retreat Omastar the next turn. That is pretty much all I would use it for, so like I said, for a stage 2 Pokemon, with only this single use I wouldn't use this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating. This card can really only do anything if you give it time to actually get Omastar evolved from the fossil. And when you do get Omastar fully evolved it can't do much unless you have discarded a lot of fossils previously or your opponent based his deck around evolutions.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Omastar from the Arceus set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Pelipper from the Arceus set.
