Greninja -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Greninja from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Greninja is a stage 2, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Greninja's Ability is called Water Suriken and says that once during your turn you may choose to discard a water energy card from your hand, if you choose to do this you can put 3 damage counters on one of your opponent's Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Greninja just has one move called Mist Slash, this move requires one water energy card and does 50 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Greninja is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Froakie into play and then evolve it into Frogadier before you can evolve Frogadier into Greninja, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  Both of those Pokemon cards are slightly below average, and since Greninja also has a low hp and a weak move, I would definitely just recommend keeping this entire line on the bench throughout the game.  That way, by having Greninja on the bench, you can utilize its Ability and spread damage on your opponent's Pokemon.  So if you're building a spread damage type deck, this entire line is a must, I would use a 2-2-1 or 1-1-1 line and just use the Ability of Greninja the whole time.  If you get in a jam, you can easily attach an energy card to Greninja use Mist Slash and retreat it once you get another Pokemon set up on the bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average card overall in the X and Y Pokemon card set.  But if you're building a spread damage type deck this card would work wonders in that deck.  This card is definitely much better than any other card in this line, because of this, I can only give the entire line an average rating of 3 out of 5, but it should definitely be in all spread type decks out there.  Individually I gave the Pokemon in this line the following ratings:  Froakie a 2, Frogadier a 3, and Greninja a 3.
