Larvesta -- Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Larvesta from the Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Set.  Larvesta is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Larvesta does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Combustion, for two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Larvesta is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Volcarona, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed either of those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So, on its own, this card could be used if you don't mind a littler slower Basic Pokemon, because when you do get two energy cards on this card it does above average damage as far as Basic Pokemon with evolution forms go.  But more than likely, you'll want to look elsewhere for a Basic Pokemon to use in your deck as a starter type Pokemon, however if you do plan on using Volcarona, this card should be a great start to that line.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Volcarona, this card is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Ancient Origins set.  I do like Larvesta's above average HP, and one move that does more damage than normal, but this card isn't much better than average because it is limited in what it can do only having one move, and the only move it does have requires two energy cards to use instead of one.
