Charmander -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Charmander from the Burning Shadows set.  Charmander is a Basic, Fire type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Scratch, for one Colorless Energy card, this move does 10 damage.  Flame Tail is this card's second move, for two Energy cards, one each of Fire and Colorless, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Charmander is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Charmeleon, and a Stage 2 evolution in Charizard, 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 Charmander does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, if you're building a Fire type deck and are looking for a quick attacking, starter type Pokemon, this is a great card to use.  What I like best about this card is that it has an above average HP, so it may even stand a chance later in games.  I like how Scratch can use any type of Energy so you should be able to attack as soon as possible with this card, plus, you can do up to 20 damage a turn too.  So while this card isn't over-powering by any means, it is a solid, Basic Fire type Pokemon card, a card that is cheap to obtain, price wise, and one that can help in battle.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average Basic Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Other than only being able to do 20 damage per turn, this card is very good overall and makes a great start to the Charizard GX line.  This card has an above average HP, and two quick attacking moves, that both do damage.
