Cutiefly -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Cutiefly Burning Shadows Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cutiefly from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Cutiefly is a Basic, Fairy type Pokemon card with a HP of 30.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a free retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Fairy Wind, for one Colorless Energy card, this move does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cutiefly is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Ribombee, 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, the only reason to use this card in a deck is for its free retreat cost, that way you can Guzma this card into the Active Pokemon spot and retreat it for free, you don't have to worry about using a Float Stone Trainer or discarding Energy.  With that being said, with such a low HP, it is very risky playing this card in a deck, since it is so easily knocked out.  So overall, although the free retreat cost is nice, I would only choose to use Cutiefly if the plan is to use Ribombee in the deck as well, that way you can use Cutiefly for a limited time before evolving it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Ribombee, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Like I mentioned above, you're never going to want to use a card in your deck with such a low HP, as it is so easy to knock out, most times just with a Pokemon that spreads a little damage around.  So again, this card is nice for its free retreat cost, but that is it.  Certainly look elsewhere if you're building a Fairy type deck and looking for a Basic Pokemon.
