Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Inkay from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set. Inkay is a Basic, Darkness type Pokemon card with a HP of 60. It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Psychic type Pokemon, 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 Constrict, for one Darkness Energy card, this move says to flip a coin, if you get a heads, the defending Pokemon is Paralyzed. The second move on this card is called Tackle, for two Colorless Energy cards, this move does 20 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Inkay is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Malamar, 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, there isn't much use for this card in a deck. If you're looking to Paralyze the defending Pokemon, just use Raichu from the Burning Shadows set, when you play it from your hand to evolve Pikachu, you can utilize its Ability to Paralyze the defending Pokemon, then just use Devolution Spray and use its Ability all over again. While Tackle can be used quickly with only one Double Colorless Energy card, if you have a full Bench, something like Zoroark GX from the Shining Legends set, although a Stage 1 Pokemon, it is a Darkness type Pokemon that can do up to 120 damage per turn for the same amount of Energy. So unless you're specifically using this card to get to Malamar, I would pass on this card overall.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Malamar, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set. Like I mentioned above, there is really no reason to use this card in a deck, with that being said, the card does have a solid HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, and would make a decent Basic Pokemon to use to get to Malamar.
