Klink -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Klink from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Klink is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to pyschic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Klink does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Rigidify which requires one colorless energy card and reduces any damage done to Klink during your opponent's next turn by 20.  Klink's second move is called Vice Grip, this move does 20 damage for two energy cards, one each of metal and colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Klink is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Klang and a stage 2 evolution in Klinklang, 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, Klink would be a very average starter Pokemon card to use in a deck.  This card does have two moves the first being a solely defensive move, so if you get this card in your hand to start the game you could definitely use it immediately in the active Pokemon spot, by preventing damage done by your opponent, Klink should last awhile in the active Pokemon spot thus allowing you more time to set up your benched Pokemon.  So if you get this card in the active Pokemon spot to start the game I would recommend using Rigidify every turn if the defending Pokemon cannot do more than 20 damage, if it can do more than 20 damage I would use Rigidify until Klink gets two energy cards on it then use Vice Grip.  I would consider using this card in a metal type deck, and would use up to two cards in that 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.  I like that this card has an average hp, and two moves.  I don't like that Klink's first move doesn't do any damage or that its retreat cost is two colorless energy cards.  But overall this card is quite average and will definitely not hurt a deck if this card is in it.
