Cherrim -- Arceus Pokemon Card Review

Cherrim Pokemon Card Arceus SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cherrim from the Arceus set. This is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 80. It has a +20 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Cherrim's Poke-Body is called Cloudy Sky and says that if one of your fire or grass type Pokemon is going to be affected by damage, that damage is reduced by 10. Besides the Poke-Body, Cherrim has one move called Worry Seed which does 30 damage for two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless. If you get a heads when you flip a coin when using this move the defending Pokemon is now Confused.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you'll want to use this card in a dual type deck that includes grass and fire type Pokemon so you can fully maximize Cherrim's Poke-Body. Other than that, I would include other grass type Pokemon that inflict special conditions so that you can annoy your Pokemon. I would definitely try and get Cherrim on your bench as soon as possible and use its Poke-Body as a defensive technique.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card is somewhat similar to the Aerodactyl card I reviewed a few days ago, however this card can do a little more, it can inflict a special condition and it can help your other Pokemon. The HP is too low on this card and you can't do too much damage as well.

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