Bewear -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Bewear Guardians Rising Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bewear from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Bewear is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 130. It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Rake It In is the name of this card's Ability, it says when you play this card from your hand to evolve one of your Pokemon, you may draw three cards.  Besides the Ability, Bewear just has one move, this move is called Dangerous Blow, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 60 damage plus 60 more damage if the defending Pokemon is a Basic Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bewear is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Stufful into play (I reviewed Stufful from this set yesterday) and then evolve Stufful into Bewear.  If you read yesterday's review of Stufful, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Although the card did have an above average HP and two moves, I still gave it a below average rating because it had a high retreat cost, and its second move was useless, so essentially the card could do 10 damage for one Energy card.  So knowing this about Stufful and looking at this Bewear card, if you can continuously evolve and devolve this line while it is on the Bench, you don't have to use any Trainer cards in your deck to draw cards, instead you can keep this line on the Bench and draw cards with Bewear's Ability.  If you know you'll be facing a lot of EX cards, which are Basic Pokemon, Dangerous Blow does well above average damage.  So strategy wise, this line should be set up on the Bench, used mainly for its Ability, but also have enough Energy on it so it can attack if facing a Basic Pokemon in the Active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Guardians Rising set.  Other than requiring three Energy cards to attack, this card is excellent overall, with a useful Ability, especially if you  can use it more than once, and an average move at the worst.  Together with Stufful from this set, I would give this line a 3 out of 5 rating, it is a line that can exist mainly on your Bench and fit into most type decks.
