Honedge -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Honedge from the X and Y Pokemon card set.  Honedge 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 psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Honedge does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Pierce which requires one metal energy card and does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Honedge is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Doublade and a stage 2 evolution in Aegislash, which I'll be reviewing the next three days (there are two Aegislash cards in this set), 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, this card probably shouldn't be used in a deck on its own because it is so limited on what it can do with only one move.  But if you need one more Basic Pokemon card to put in your metal type deck, this one wouldn't be the worst one to use but I wouldn't put more than one of these in a deck on their own.

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 from the X and Y set.  This card really is average overall, but the reason I'm giving this card a 2 rather than a 3 is because it only has the one move and if used by itself won't do much in a deck to warrant its use.
