Dewpider -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Dewpider Burning Shadows Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dewpider from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Dewpider is a Basic, Grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Dewpider does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Ambush, for one Grass Energy card, this move does 10 damage, plus an additional 10 damage if you get a heads when flipping a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dewpider is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Araquanid, 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, this card could certainly be used in a Grass type deck as a starter type Pokemon since it can attack for only one Energy card, has a solid HP, and a low retreat.  I do like the fact it has potential to do 20 damage per turn, but it is too limited to use later in games, and although passable, I wouldn't recommend using this much in decks, just because a 60 HP Pokemon later in games is pretty easy to knock out.  It is certainly a good start to Araquanid though.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Araquanid, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Looking at this card by itself, and knowing that it does evolve into a Stage 1 Pokemon card, it is a good start to the line and can be used on its own.  I like that it can do up to 20 damage per turn for one Energy card, and that it has a low retreat cost, meaning you could always start the game with this Pokemon in the Active Pokemon spot and retreat it pretty easily once you get your Benched Pokemon set up.
