Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Azelf from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set. Azelf is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Azelf does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Trading Places, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to switch Azelf with one of your benched Pokemon. Azelf's second move is called Psyjamming, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and allows you to move as many special energy cards as you'd like from your opponent's Pokemon to their other Pokemon in play.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Azelf is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card. With that being said, I would highly recommend using this card in a deck that includes Uxie and Mesprit from this set so you can use Mesprit's Ability to allow everyone on your team to have a free retreat cost. So I would include 4 Uxie, and 1 each of Azelf and Mesprit in a spread damage psychic type deck. Uxie would be the card I would want to get into the active Pokemon spot to attack, I would definitely keep Mesprit on the bench, and I would potentially put Azelf into the active Pokemon spot if my opponent is using a lot of Team Plasma cards, then I could use Psyjamming and transfer all the energy on the defending Pokemon to the benched Pokemon making it unable to attack. Looking solely at this Azelf card, I would not use this card without Uxie and Mesprit because the card can not do any damage to defending Pokemon, and really can't do much at all.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Blast set. This card is definitely the worst out of the three that I've reviewed the past few days, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, however even though I don't like this card individually, I would highly recommend using all three in a deck together, and would give the three cards a 4 out of 5 rating even though individually the cards received a 5 (Uxie), 3 (Mesprit), and 2 (Azelf) ratings wise.
