Flygon -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flygon from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Flygon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flygon's Ability is called Sand Flap and says that during your turn, you may choose to or have your opponent shuffle their hand into their deck and draw 4 new cards.  Besides the Ability, Flygon only has one move called Sand Tomb, for three energy cards, one each of grass, fighting, and colorless, this move does 80 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flygon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Trapinch into play and then evolve it into Vibrava before you can evolve Vibrava into Flygon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them in the past.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both Trapinch and Vibrava were average cards individually, but together just didn't have enough power to be used in a deck without Flygon, but Trapinch could be used as a starter type Pokemon because it had an average HP, and two decent moves.  So knowing about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at the final one, this card stays in line being average overall.  There isn't anything that I dislike about this card, just nothing that really stands out.  Sand Tomb is a good move, that does above average damage, but it does require two different types of energy to use and it is the only attack Flygon has.  Flygon's Ability is good, since it can affect both the opponent and yourself.  But overall, unless you're really in love with this Pokemon family, I would not recommend building a deck around this line, and if you want to use it in a deck, only using a 2-1-1 line of this family, using Trapinch as a starter type Pokemon, then doing 60 damage a turn with Vibrava and 80 damage a turn with Flygon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  Like I said in the strategy section of this post, Flygon is solid overall, having nothing that is extremely powerful, but nothing terrible either.  This card as well as the two forms of it prior are average together, and would get a 3 out of 5 rating combined from me, they could be used in a deck, but definitely not ones to build around.

Flygon -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flygon from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Flygon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flygon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Rainbow Shower.  This move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to attach as many energy cards as you'd like from your hand to your Pokemon in any way that you'd like.  Flygon's second move is called Sand Sweep, this move requires three energy cards, one each of grass, fighting, and colorless, and does 70 damage, plus it heals 30 damage from each of your Pokemon that has at least one energy card on them.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flygon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Trapinch into play and then evolve it into Vibrava before you can evolve Vibrava into Flygon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them in the past.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were average individually but together were a little below average because neither card had that great of moves or high HP.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this Flygon card, I would still want to use Flygon in a deck, especially if I am building a dual grass and fighting type deck.  I wouldn't include too many of each Pokemon in this line, probably a 1-1-1 line, and then I would include trainer cards to get a ton of energy cards into my hand, I would then spend time to get Flygon on the bench, then move it to the active Pokemon spot and use Rainbow Shower right away to get all of my Pokemon set up at the same time, then after that I would use Sand Sweep most turns.  I would also try and include many other Pokemon that have lower retreat costs in my deck, so I can move my Pokemon in and out of the active Pokemon spot with ease and heal them with Flygon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an excellent Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set, not only one that is pretty powerful attack wise, but a card that will greatly increase the effectiveness of your whole deck.  I really like Rainbow Shower, allowing you to move a bunch of energy cards from your hand to your Pokemon at once, and then Sand Sweep not only does above average damage but it heals damage from all of your Pokemon with energy on them.  So I would highly recommend this Pokemon card and line for those building a grass and fighting type deck, altogether I would give this Pokemon family a 4 out of 5 rating, individually Trapinch and Vibrava were 3 out of 5 cards, and Flygon was a 5.

Flygon -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flygon from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Flygon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  Flygon is the stage 2 evolution of Vibrava, and before that Trapinch, both of those Pokemon I have reviewed the past couple of days, and both of those Pokemon are in this set.  Flygon has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flygon's Ability is called Sand Slammer and this ability allows you to once per turn put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Flygon only has one move called Flying Beatdown, this move requires four energy cards, two colorless, one fighting, and one grass, and does 80 damage.  When using this move, if you discard a fighting and grass type energy card the defending Pokemon becomes paralyzed.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flygon is a stage 2 Pokemon, you'll have to first get Trapinch and then Vibrava into play.  Both of the previous Pokemon in this line are fairly solid, but I would still try and keep them on my bench if possible.  Once you get Flygon into the active Pokemon, you're going to mainly use its Ability while it is in the active position.  So you're going to want to include this Pokemon in a spread damage type deck, and have Pokemon that can spread damage quickly without evolving much, so that when you move Flygon into the active Pokemon spot, many of your opponent's Pokemon will have damage on them and Flygon's Ability could knock many of them out.  While Flygon is on the bench you'll definitely want to attach four energy cards to it so you can use Flying Beatdown every turn, I would hardly ever discard energy cards when using this move, I would just do 80 damage every turn.  I would keep Flygon in the active Pokemon spot until it is close to feinting then retreat it for only one energy card and move in another spread damage type Pokemon to finish off what Flygon started.  I would definitely use this Pokemon line in a deck, and would use a 4-3-2 line of Trapinch, Vibrava, and Flygon in a fighting and grass type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an awesome stage 2 Pokemon card that can do major damage to many different Pokemon at one time.  I would definitely recommend building a deck around this Pokemon card.  I really like Flygon's Ability and the fact that it can retreat for only one energy card.  So overall, I would give this entire Pokemon line a 4 out of 5 rating, it is very solid.
