Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Skorupi from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Set. Skorupi is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Skorupi does not have an Ability and it only has one move. The one move it has is called Pin Missile and for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when flipping four coins.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Skorupi is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Drapion, 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. The main reason I say this is because Skorupi isn't quick on the attack, so you can't really use it as a starter type Pokemon, and if you do keep it on the bench and get two energy cards on it, when attacking, it could end up doing no damage at all. Of course, if you use this card in your deck, I would highly recommend attaching a Trick Coin trainer to it, to give you a better shot at doing more damage with Pin Missile, but on its own, I would not use this card.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Drapion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card. This card does have some positives about it, like its above average HP, and its move which can do up to 40 damage a turn. But a slow attack, higher retreat cost, and a coin flip based move contribute to its below average rating. So if you are not using Drapion in your deck, there is no reason to use this card.
