I was just wondering that in all the card section there is alot of 
reviews on a whole mess of cards. There has been alot of talk about the bird 
pokémon like Zapdos,Farfetch'd,and Pidegeot. I'm here to review all the 
birds in the game, first starting with the pidgey family.


  First let's look at Pidgey. He's a basic with 40 HP which is kind of 
common for a common. He only has 1 attack and it requires two colorless 
energy!!!And it only takes out 10Hp. So what if your opponent has to switch 
pokemon. He can just pick a good Pokémon from his bench and kill the damn 
pidgey!!!! Rating 3.5 out of 10

  Now Pidgeotto is a stage 1 Pokémon that has 60 Hp. Not that good if you 
conpare to great basics like hitmonchan who has 70Hp and pidgeotto is a 
stage 1 pokemon. Horrible. Pidgeotto has two attacks. It's first attack is 
like pidgey's only takes out 20. For two energies. His second attack though 
is quite good being that it duplicates the attack tht your opponent just 
did. Rating 6.5 out of 10.

  Now let's lokk at the grandaddy of the family, Pidgeot. He's a stage 2 
pokémon that has 80 HP. He has two attacks. His first attack is "Wing 
Attack" and takes out 20 for two energy, not that great. His second attack 
though is called hurricane and is one of the best attacks of the whole 
game!! For three energy you take out thirty and make the opponed put the 
defending pokemon back in his hand and every card attached to it. If you are 
fighting a charizard this is one of the best cards.Plus Pidgeot has no 
retreat cost!!!! For a stage two pokemon that's great. Rating 9.5 out 10. 
Great!!!

  Now Doduo is a basic with 50 Hp, which is kinda of good. He has 1 attack 
for 1 energy you flip 2 coins and does 10x. It can take out 20 for 1 energy 
which is alright. Rating 5.0 out of 10.

  Dodrio is a stage 1 with 70Hp unlike Mr. Pidgeotto. He has a pokemon power 
that can only be used when he's on the bench and you get to pay 1 less 
energy to retreat. Great combo with Chansey! Then his second attack which is 
rage does 10 plus 10 more for each damage counter on him. Not so great 
attack.But at least Dodrio has no retreat cost. Rating 7.5 out of 10.

  Spearow is a basic with 50Hp. Pretty good He also has two attacks. His 
first takes out 10 for 1 energy and the second attack needs three energy but 
it's good. It's exactly like pidgeotto's attack. it is pidegeotto's attack. 
Rating 6.0 out of 10.

  Fearow is a stage 1 pokemon of course and has 70Hp and two attacks.
His first attack needs 3 energy to use and takes out 20 but if you flip 
heads and affects of damage during your next turn is prevented. His second 
attack needs four energy!! And it only takes out forty. What kind of rip off 
is that Hitmonchan can take out forty for FFC!! The good thing about Fearow 
is like Pidgeot and Dodrio he has no retreat cost. Rating 6.5 out of 10.

  Now for the legendary Farfetch'd. Some people hate him some people love 
him. Here's what I say about him. He has 50Hp and is a basic. His first 
attack Leek Slap only needs 1 energy and if you get heads this attack does 
thirty but if tails it does nothing, and you can only use that attack once 
which sucks! Then you need three energy to do only thirty. What kind of 
cheap pokémon is this. Farfetch'd sucks and you know it!! Rating 3.0 out of 
10.

  Now the biggest, baddest bird pokémon Zapdos!! Zapdos is the most talked 
about bird in the game. Ok let's anaylze. He's a basic with 90Hp. That's 
really good. He Has two attacks. His first attack you need eeec.(3 electrics 
and 1 colorless) and takes out 60 and has a 50/50 chance of Zapdos getting 
30 damage done to him. That's stupid. Then for four energies you can take 
out 100Hp which is good, but then you have to discard every single enrgy on 
Zapdos. The only good things about Zapdos is that he is a basic, has 90Hp, 
and has no weakness but resistance to fighting. Rating 7.0 out of 10.

  All in all the best bird card is Pidgeot. No bird is close to him until 
Fossil and the other sets come out. My name is Mauricio Cruz Jr. and if you 
want to debate about any of these cards e-mail me at mc_coole@hotmail.com
