Sewaddle -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sewaddle from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Sewaddle is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sewaddle does not have an Ability, and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Bug Bite, this move requires one grass energy card and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sewaddle is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Swadloon and a stage 2 evolution in Leavanny, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, more than likely I would not use this card in a deck.  I wouldn't rule the possibility out, because Sewaddle can do 20 damage for one energy card but because of its low hp I would definitely be weary of using this card by itself.  If you do choose to use this card in a deck, I would suggest using it in a grass type deck and having a Cherrim in the deck so you can use its Ability and heal 20 damage a turn with that card.  That way, Sewaddle will have a more average hp.  You'll want to get Sewaddle into the active Pokemon spot as early as possible since it can attack quickly and do a good amount of damage as well.  The earlier you get this card in the game the better because you'll get knocked out pretty quickly if you put a basic Pokemon card into play that only has 40 hp later in the game when you're facing stage 1 and stage 2 Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  Like I said earlier in this review, I do like Sewaddle's move because it is quick and can do a good amount of damage, but because this card has such a low hp, it is definitely not a must have in any grass type deck out there.
