Nosepass -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Nosepass from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Nosepass is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Nosepass does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Stiffen, for two colorless energy cards, this move reduces attacks done to Nosepass by your opponent's Pokemon during their next turn by 40.  Nosepass's second move is called Ram, this move requires three energy cards to use, two colorless and one fighting, and does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Nosepass is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Probopass, which I'll be reviewing in a few weeks since it is a metal 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 avoid this card at all costs, meaning I would definitely not use this card in a deck.  I say this because even though Nosepass has a high HP, both moves it has are extremely slow to use, and the one move that actually does damage, does well below average damage, plus throw in a high retreat cost, and this card is definitely not usable on its own.  This card would probably be fine to use with Probopass since you would only need two energy cards on this card to stall, while you're able to evolve it into Probopass, but again, if you're looking to use this card as a starter Pokemon, please look elsewhere.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Probopass, this card is very poor.  Like I stated in the strategy section above, the only thing good on this card is its HP, everything else is below average and to use this card on its own would be foolish.  Hopefully when I review Probopass it makes up for how poor this card is.
