Combusken -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Combusken from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card set.  Combusken is a stage 1, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Combusken does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Quick Attack, for one fire energy card this move does 20 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when flipping a coin.  Combusken's second move is called Spiral Kick, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of fire and colorless, and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Combusken is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get one of the two Torchic cards from this set into play (I reviewed both of those cards the past two days) and then evolve Torchic into Combusken.  Combusken does have a stage 2 evolution in Blaziken that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Combusken is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my reviews of the Torchic cards from this set, you'll know that I wasn't the greatest of fans of either card from this set, the first card that I reviewed, numbered 25/160 was definitely the one I recommended since it could do damage every turn, and it had a decent HP.  So knowing this about the Torchic cards from this set and looking at Combusken, I would definitely consider using a 1-1 line of Torchic and Combusken in a deck, trying to get Combusken into the active Pokemon spot as quickly as possible and then trying to use either of Combusken's moves early in the game, thus being able to knock out most Basic Pokemon in two moves.  Other than early in the game, this card won't be that great because of its low HP, so that is why if I were to use this line at all, I would only include 1 of each, but more than likely I wouldn't use it at all.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  Other than having a lower HP, this card is pretty solid, it has two moves, that are both quick and do a fair amount of damage, plus it has a low retreat cost.  But because Torchic isn't that great and Combusken has a lower HP, I wouldn't necessarily recommend using this card in a deck even though I gave it an average rating, because combined with the Torchic cards from this set, I can only give them a 2 out of 5 rating.
