Castform -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review


Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Castform from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Castform is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  Castform has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Castform does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Weather Teller, for one Colorless Energy card, this move allows you to search your deck for up to 2 Stadium cards and put them into your hand.  Water Pulse is the name of the second move on this card, for two Colorless Energy cards, this move does 30 damage and puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Castform is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Castform.  So knowing this, this card could certainly fit into most decks since it can use any type of Energy to attack.  I could mainly seen this card being used for its first move, you could use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a deck and quickly get the Stadium cards you need in your hand and into play.  Stadium cards are very popular and they are heavily used.  Water Pulse is also a solid move, especially if you're using 4 Double Colorless Energy cards in your deck, therefore this move only requires one Energy card to use, and it gives you time to set up your Benched Pokemon while the defending Pokemon is Asleep.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Basic Pokemon card from the Guardians Rising set.  Like I mentioned above, this is a card to consider when deck building, not only can it fit into most decks, it can help your deck get set up, and do a good amount of damage to the defending Pokemon.  While you certainly couldn't build a deck around this card, it is a great role playing type card for a deck.
