Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trapinch from the Primal Clash set. Trapinch is a basic, fighting 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. Trapinch does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Gnaw, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage. Trapinch's second move is called Mud-Slap, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of colorless and fighting, and does 20 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trapinch is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Vibrava and a stage 2 evolution in Flygon, which I'll be reviewing in the next few weeks since both are dragon type cards, 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, this card could definitely be used as a starter type Pokemon in a deck. You could get it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and start attacking form the get go by doing 10 damage, then attach another energy card to Trapinch and do 20 damage. If you're building a fighting type deck, I would definitely consider using 1 or 2 of these in your deck.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Primal Clash set and one that could easily be used in a fighting type deck as a starter type Pokemon since it can attack quickly and do a fair amount of damage. This card should work perfectly as the first Pokemon in the line that leads up to Flygon.

False. Nosepass evolution Probopass is Steel type so Trapinch is not the only Fighting type Pokemon card in Primal Clash set to have its evolutions not be Fighting type.
