Kyurem -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Kyurem Pokemon Card Noble Victories SetPokemon 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.
