Torchic 25/160 -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Torchic Primal Clash Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Torchic from the Primal Clash set.  This is the first of two consecutive reviews I'll be doing of Torchic.  Torchic is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Torchic does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Ember, this move requires one fire energy card to use and does 20 damage, however if you get a tails when you flip a coin, you must discard a fire type energy card attached to Torchic.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Torchic is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Combusken and a stage 2 evolution in Blaziken, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, and I haven't even reviewed the second Torchic card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions or knowing which Torchic card is better.  So on its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.  The main reason being is that you're going to have to continuously attach energy cards to this card just to be able to attack if you get tails when flipping a coin.  As a starter type Pokemon, I would much rather have a card that can do 10 damage a turn for only one energy card and be able to use that move every single turn without having to add more energy to the card.  So unless you're desperate to use this card in your deck, I would not recommend using it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  Even though I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck, it really isn't that bad, it has an average HP, low retreat cost, and the one move it does have, does do above average damage as long as you can flip a heads every turn.  But like I said, because this card cannot consistently attack without having to add energy to it, I would look elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon card to use.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Torchic from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of the second Torchic card, which is also from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!
