Torkoal -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Torkoal from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Torkoal is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 100, it has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Torkoal does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Live Coal, for one fire energy card this move does 20 damage.  Torkoal's second move is called Flamethrower, this move requires three energy cards, two fire and one colorless, and does 80 damage, however if you get a tails when you flip a coin you must remove an energy card attached to Torkoal.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Torkoal is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, I would only use a maximum of 1 Torkoal card in your fire type deck.  I say this because although this card is average and Flamethrower has the potential to do 80 damage a turn, there are just better Pokemon out there that you'll want to use and Basic Pokemon out there that you will want to have in your deck in order to evolve them.  But if you're building a fire type deck I would definitely consider using one of these cards in your deck.  For example, you could get this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, just put one energy card on it and use Live Coal every turn then retreat it later for a benched Pokemon that is set up and can do more damage consistently.  Flamethrower is a pretty decent move, but you'll just want to prepare for the worst and have plenty of ways of getting energy cards into your hand so you don't run out and can keep attaching them to Torkoal if you have to discard them.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  I would definitely consider using this card in a fire type deck because it has a good hp, low retreat cost and two solid moves.  This card just isn't that special that I would base a deck around it, that is why I would recommend only using 1 of these cards in a deck if you use it.
