Taillow -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Taillow Guardians Rising Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Taillow from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Taillow is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Taillow does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Reckless Charge, for one Colorless Energy card, this move does 20 damage, however this move also does 10 damage to Taillow.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Taillow is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Swellow, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So, on its own, unless you only plan on using this card for the first turn of the game, I probably wouldn't use this card in a deck without Swellow.  Although Reckless Charge does do above average damage and can use any Energy card to attack, doing 10 damage per turn to Taillow will make this card get knocked out quick.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Swellow, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Guardians Rising set.  Although this card has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and can do a good amount of damage when attacking, because this card does damage to itself when attacking and is limited in just having the one move, I would look elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon card to use in your deck, especially if you don't plan on using Swellow.
