Spearow -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Spearow is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Spearow does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that it has is called Whirlwind, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage, plus your opponent must switch their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spearow is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Fearow, 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 could definitely see using this card in a deck if I were to build a spread damage type deck.  I would try and get this Spearow card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, and then get 10 damage on as many Pokemon as I could, so then I could put in a card from my deck later in the game that does let's say 40 more damage if the defending Pokemon has damage on it already, and this Spearow card should do that for us perfectly.  Outside of a spread damage type deck, this card still could be used, since it has an average HP, and a quick move, but I would not recommend using it as much.  At most, I would use one of these in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Fearow, this card is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set, that would get a slight bump in rating if you're using it in a spread damage type deck.  There really isn't anything to complain about on this card except for that it is limited in what it can do.  It has an average HP, average retreat cost, and a quick, but pretty average move.  So again, if you're building a spread damage type deck, I would give this card a hard look, otherwise, you can probably skip over the thought.
