Azumarill -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Azumarill from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Azumarill is a Stage 1, Water type Pokemon card, with a HP of 120. It has a x2 weakness to Grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  The Ability on this card is called Thick Fat and says that this Pokemon takes 30 less damage from Fire and Water type Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, the one move on this card is called Waterfall, for three Energy cards, one Water and two Colorless, this move does 80 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Azumarill is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Marill into play (I reviewed Marill from this set yesterday) and then evolve Marill into Azumarill.  If you read yesterday's review of Marill, you'll know that I thought it was a below average card overall and a card that I wouldn't use on its own.  The card was okay overall with a solid HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, that would work decently in the Active Pokemon spot for a turn before you evolve it into Azumarill.  This Azumarill card, once set up, can certainly do a good amount of damage, requiring essentially two Energy cards, Waterfall does do 80 damage per turn, and if you're facing Water or Fire type Pokemon, this card's high HP seems even higher.  So while this card is not great by any means, it is solid overall, and this is the type of line that I could see being used in a theme deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Like I mentioned above, this card has a pretty good Ability that makes its HP seem even higher, and once set up this card is decent.  Combine this card with Marill from this set and I would give it a 3 out of 5 rating, if you're looking for a low cost Water type deck, you may try and fit this Pokemon line into your deck.
