Manaphy -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Manaphy from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Manaphy is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Manaphy's Ability is called Final Wish, this ability allows you to search your deck for one card and move it to your hand if Manaphy is knocked out by one of your opponent's attacks.  Besides the Ability, Manaphy just has one move called Seafaring, this move requires 1 water energy card and allows you to flip 3 coins, for each heads you get you may move a water energy card from your discard pile to your benched Pokemon in any way you like.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Manaphy is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  First off, because this card does not do any damage and the only move it does have is based around water energy cards you'll want to make sure and use this card in a deck comprised mostly of water type Pokemon.  I would definitely include this card in a water type deck, just 1, and then put it on the bench, attach 1 energy card to it, and then late in the game, put it into the active Pokemon spot, use Seafaring a couple of turns then retreat it back to your bench.  This card will work best if you have Pokemon in your deck that discard energy cards after attacking, by using this card with those types of Pokemon, you'll be able to attack more often, as well as use more of those Pokemon cards that more than likely do major damage but end up discarding energy cards after doing that damage.   Because this card cannot do any damage, I again stress not to use more than 1 in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card set.  Even though this card cannot do any damage I'm still giving this card a solid rating.  I am doing this because the one move that Manaphy does have can definitely help your team throughout the game and could help you have enough energy cards in your deck to use the moves you want the whole time.  So if you have an open spot in your water type deck, I would definitely recommend adding this card to that deck.
