Bronzong -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Bronzong Pokemon Card Arceus SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bronzong from the Arceus set. This is a stage 1, metal type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a +20 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Bronzong doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves. The first move is called Oracle Arrow which takes two energy cards, one each of metal and colorless, and does 40 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon that has any damage counters on it. Bronzong's second move is called Antigravity which does the standard 60 damage for three energy cards, in this case two colorless and one metal. Besides doing the damage, Bronzong has a free retreat cost until the end of your next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would suggest using this card in a spread damage type deck. I would try to keep Bronzong in the active Pokemon spot as long as possible so it can do 40 damage to as many Pokemon as possible and then when Bronzong is close to getting knocked out I would use Antigravity and retreat Bronzong for free the next turn. Just make sure before using this card you get a lot of damage on your opponent's Pokemon, so Bronzong can attack any one of them with Oracle Arrow.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card is pretty average overall, it can do a fair amount of damage but I wish its HP would be higher so it could last longer, and I wish you didn't have to use Antigravity to be able to retreat for free, its base retreat cost is too high for my liking.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
