Weedle -- Evolutions Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Weedle from the XY Evolutions set.  Weedle is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Weedle does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Poison Sting, for one grass energy card this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads when flipping a coin, the defending Pokemon is now poisoned.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Weedle is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Kakuna, and a Stage 2 evolution in Beedrill, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will just act like Weedle does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, very similarly to the Caterpie I reviewed a couple of days ago, if you can somehow figure out how to make Weedle have a higher HP, whether that be through a Trainer or through a Pokemon's Ability, this card would work as a starter type Pokemon since it can attack for one energy card and do not only damage but inflict a special condition.  However, if the plan of attack is to use this card and not increase its HP, 40 HP is way too low to ever have on a Pokemon in the active Pokemon spot, so it should either not be used at all, or be put on the bench and evolved there.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Evolutions Pokemon card set.  Like I mentioned in the strategy section of this post, because this card has such a low HP, it shouldn't be used in a deck, so if trying to use a Basic Pokemon card in a grass type deck, I would recommend looking elsewhere, starting off searching for a Pokemon with a higher HP than 40.
