Dusknoir -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dusknoir from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Dusknoir is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Dusknoir's Ability is called Shadow Void and says that as often as you'd like during your turn you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your Pokemon to Dusknoir.  Dusknoir's only move is called Pain Pellets, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and allows you to put the same number of damage counters Dusknoir has on itself on one of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dusknoir is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Duskull into play and then evolve it into Dusclops before you can evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir, 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 average cards in the TCG, so they could be used without Dusknoir, especially in a spread damage type deck.  But if you're building a spread damage type deck, you'll definitely want to have this entire line in it.  I say this because Dusknoir's Ability Shadow Void and its only move Pain Pellets work very well together and if you already have 10 or 20 or more damage on several of your opponent's Pokemon, Dusknoir can come in later in the game and knock these Pokemon out with Pain Pellets.  So if I were building a spread damage type deck, I would include a 3-2-1 line of Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir in the deck, I would make sure to have at least 50 or 60 damage on Dusknoir before putting it into the active Pokemon spot and I'd also make sure to have potion cards in my deck in case Dusknoir is close to being knocked out you could get some damage counters off of it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  Even though Dusknoir's Ability and one move work very well together, I am still giving this card an average rating because this card really will only work well in a very specific deck, plus it does have a low hp and high retreat cost which could get you into trouble late in games.  But overall this is a solid card that would work well in a spread damage type deck.  If I look at this whole Pokemon family as a whole, Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir, I would give this family an above average 4 out of 5 rating, even though each card individually was only a 3.
