First! It's HP is kinda decent for a Stage 1. But it takes 2-3 energies just to do a mere 60 damage. Instant burn is cool and chance for Paralysis is pretty cool. 3-4 Energies for 80 Damage and discard, though, is terrible. But Special Conditions will be erased instantly on this Pokémon's worst enemy, Keldeo EX. Keldeo EX will 1 shot this thing no problem. As a matter of fact, Keldeo EX will set up 10x faster than this Pokémon and have no problem in doing a 1 shot to it. The other thing terrible about this card is it's retreat cost. 4. That's way too high.

3/10.

^this.

This is pretty much everything that Id say. This is one of the 1st cards I didnt really wanna review. I have a RH of this and nobody wants it. I can see why.

This thing doesnt bring much to the table. Its cool that it works with DCE and that its 1st move is somewhat decent, but its very unreliable in a water dominated meta. Even if the meta wasnt water dominated, this thing is too slow and Reshiram deals out way more damage and isnt an evolution.

2.5-3/10. Better options, not a fan of stage 1s or 4 retreats unless they are game changers, and its flame thrower move is pathetic. Auto burn is nice but just play Entei ex if you want that.

This card is bad real life but online this card is really great! I play a deck that uses Camerupt online and it works great as even when I vs in expert, there aren't many Keldeo/Blastoise decks or any water decks to oppose it. The deck I play has 4 DCE which makes DCE quite easy to draw and Victini which makes it's first and main attack spot on for paralyses and burn.

3/10 Real life
6.5/10 Online

How is online any different from real life? Worse opponents? Playing PTCGO on expert still isn't very impressive. Lots of people still play bad decks on expert.

Anyways, this is my rating for the card.

1/10 against good opponents
10/10 against bad opponents
