Spinarak -- Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spinarak from the Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Set.  Spinarak is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Spinarak does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  This move is called String Shot and for one colorless energy card this move allows you to paralyze the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spinarak is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Ariados, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, 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 not recommend using this card in a deck, mainly because this card does not do any damage when attacking, plus the only thing it can do, paralyze the defending Pokemon, can only be done if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  So to summarize, there really is no strategy with this card because there is no reason you should be using it in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Spinarak, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Ancient Origins set.  There really isn't one positive thing about this card, it is very limited overall, only having one move, and that one move based on a coin flip, plus Spinarak has a below average HP.
