Welcome to today’s Card of the Day. I’m working hard on releasing them more consistently. Today, I’ll be reviewing a card from the COTD request thread, Hoppip HS. Yeah, I know… Well, let’s see what we have here.
pokebeach.comHoppip is a Basic Grass Pokémon with a terrible, very donkable 30 HP. It has a x2 Fire weakness, which hurts because Blaziken FB hits you for weakness. The -20 Resistance is great, resisting Machamp Prime, Donphan Prime, Machamp SF, and Promocroak. The Retreat Cost of one sucks, but it’s manageable.
Now, here’s me telling you that its weakness and resistance will be irrelevant 99% of the time: Hoppip is a 30 HP Basic Pokémon, which means that even without its weakness it’s 1HKO’d by Blazikent FB’s “Vapor Kick”, let alone the LV.X’s “Jet Shoot”. Just like its weakness, the resistance is also useless; Donphan Prime and all of the others will still 1HKO you. However, there may be a rare use for these stats, so we won’t write them off completely (not that I can actually think of one now, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one).
Hoppip has no Poké-anything, but it does have an attack. Is it good enough to warrant Hoppip some play? Well, I don’t know. “Bounce”, for G, does 10 damage with the option of switching it to your bench, which is nice for escaping the more dangerous active slot. However, by far the biggest reason you would want to play Hoppip is for getting out its Stage 2 Evolution, Jumpluff. Seeing as it’s the only Hoppip in the format, you don’t have much of a choice if you want to run Jumpluff.
Rating: 3/5 (It has terrible HP, but the attack is kind of useful… sometimes)
Other rating: 5/5 (By Hoppip standards, it’s by far the best Hoppip in the format)
Yeah, I know it was a short review, but there isn’t much to say about Hoppip HS.
lol I actually didn’t ask for this, I was surprised as you guys to see hoppip here!
Hmmm…. I wonder who suggested this..COUGHJ-wittz*COUGH.. Ahem.
I donk hoppips for breakfast
I donk hoppips for breakfast
Yeah, I suggested this! Haha you actually did it! :D
With the whole Jumpluff line, I find it funny that Rare Candy skips over SKIPloom. Just a thought. Agreed that J-Wittz probably asked for this one. Lol.
HOP SKIP JUMP
This is kinda ridiculous lol. We should at least go over Jumpluff if we’re going to review one of the worst starters in the game…
4/5 times you can donk this easy with SPs.
okay, I agree, but I think this was a joke. Hoppip is so awesome that you’ve got to review it sometime.
GO HOPPIP GO!!!! GO HOPPIP GO!!!!!!
Hoppip is not a good card, and will not see play because Jumpluff is not popular anymore, due to the absense of Claydol… 1/5 Rating
Somebody must have been bored to do this review. I do appreciate these though. It was a well-written review. Maybe we can see a Luvdisc review sometime (February maybe?).
Yeah, I was slightly board when I wrote this, but that isnt’ the point. If it’s requested (unless if I have a really, really good reason), I’ll eventually review it and today was Hoppip’s lucky day.
Are you kidding me?
Put your money where your mouth is and start using Jumpluff! Jwittz? More like J-ZITS! OHHHHHH BURN!
>:D
Whoo!! Hoppip stinks. :D
0/5…. but good card of the day.
