Purrloin #82/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Purrloin from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Purrloin cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Purrloin is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Purrloin card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Tail Trickery, this move requires one darkness energy card and confuses the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Purrloin's second move is called Fury Swipes, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and darkness, and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip three coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Purrloin is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Liepard, 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 and I have not reviewed the other Purlloin card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So on its own, this Purrloin card wouldn't be the greatest to use on its own.  I say this because this card has a below average hp, and to attack it has to have two energy cards attached to it and even when you use Fury Swipes, you aren't guaranteed to do any damage.  So I would not recommend using this card in a deck on its own.  However, if you choose to, whenever you get this card in the active Pokemon spot you'll just have to use whichever move you can afford energy wise.

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.  The reason this card is below average for me is because of its low hp and the fact that both of its moves require coin flips to actually do anything.  So if you are having an unlucky match, this card will be a waste for you to have in your deck.  Hopefully tomorrow's Purrloin card is better than this one is.  I am giving this card a 2 instead of a 1 just because this card does have two moves.
