Bergmite -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bergmite from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Bergmite is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Bergmite does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Stomp Off, this move requires one water energy card and allows you to discard the top card off of your opponent's deck.  Bergmite's second move is called Tackle, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one water, and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bergmite is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Avalugg, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So, on its own I would recommend not using this card in a deck.  Even though this card has an above average hp, and two moves, I am not a fan of it.  I say this because neither Stomp Off, which doesn't do any damage, nor Tackle, which requires too many energy cards to use, are very good moves.  But if for some reason you decide to use this card in your deck without Avalugg, I would only use one of these cards, I would try to get it into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, and I would attach three energy cards to it and use Tackle every turn.  Usually I wouldn't attach three energy cards to a Basic Pokemon, but since this card's retreat cost is so high, I don't have a problem attaching that amount of energy cards.

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 Flashfire set.  I have basically summarized why I don't like this card in the strategy section of this post, but the main reasons are the high retreat cost on the card and the fact that both of its moves are pretty miserable.  So if you're building a water type deck, I would definitely look elsewhere before using this card in your deck.
