Trubbish #64/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trubbish from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of three consecutive Trubbish cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Trubbish is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  So those things are exactly the same as yesterday's Trubbish card.  This Trubbish does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Pound, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.  Trubbish's second move is called Sludge Bomb, this move requires three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, and does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trubbish is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Garbodor, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, there are actually two Garbodor cards in this set, and I have not reviewed the third Trubbish card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution or knowing anything about the other Trubbish cards from this set, I'll compare all three Trubbish cards from this set in tomorrow's review.  So on its own, this Trubbish card would be a very average to slightly above average basic Pokemon card to use in your deck.  If I were to use this card on its own, I would include 1 of these cards in a psychic deck.  Unlike yesterday's Trubbish card, this card will work best in a psychic type deck because Sludge Bomb requires mostly psychic type energy cards.  Again, like yesterday, I would try and get this card in the active Pokemon spot to start the game and start attacking immediately with Pound, then if I have time, attach two more energy cards to Trubbish and use Sludge Bomb.  This card is better to use on its own than yesterday's card because it can do 40 damage a turn, which really is a below average move, but it may be able to knock out a basic Pokemon early in the game by using the move twice.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card that is a little better than yesterday's Trubbish card.  Overall this card is average like I said, it has an average hp, average retreat cost, and two average moves.  The reason I consider both moves average on this card even though Sludge Bomb is a below average move damage wise for the amount of energy cards it requires is because that move is like an added bonus, because most basic Pokemon cards similar to Trubbish only have one move that does 10 damage.
