Honedge -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Honedge from the Primal Clash set.  Honedge is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Honedge does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Metal Sound, for one metal energy card this move confuses the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Honedge is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Doublade and a stage 2 evolution in Aegislash, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck, mainly for two reasons, the first is that this card cannot do damage every turn, all it can do is inflict a special condition that may or may not affect your opponent's active Pokemon, the second is that the retreat cost on this card is higher than its attack cost.  This card would be fine to use as the first Pokemon in this entire line of Pokemon, you could take a risk using it later on in the game possibly making a Mega EX card attack itself while confused, but on its own, I would not recommend using this card at all.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set.  Just looked at by itself, this card is unusable in a deck since it can't attack doing any damage and has a high retreat cost.  So if you're building a metal type deck, either use more than just Honedge or do not use this card at all.
