Staryu -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Staryu from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Staryu is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Staryu does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Lunge, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 20 damage, however if you flip a coin and get tails, the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Staryu is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Starmie, which I'll be reviewing in a few weeks since it is a psychic type Pokemon, 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 not recommend using this card in a deck, even though this card has everything at least average on it, with an above average move, with the only caveat being you have to flip a coin to see if you can attack or not, which makes this card unusable.  So unless you really like Staryu, are feeling lucky, or want to use a Trick Coin tool card with Staryu, do not use this card in a deck, because you don't want to put this card into the active Pokemon spot and not be able to do any damage to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Starmie, this card is a well below average Basic Pokemon card mainly for the reason it doesn't have a move that can for sure do damage.  So like I said in the strategy section of this post, unless you're feeling pretty lucky or just want to have Staryu in your deck, do not use this card, and find other water type Pokemon to use.
