Mawile -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Mawile Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mawile from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Mawile is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mawile does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Astonish, this move requires one metal energy card and allows you if you get heads when you flip a coin to randomly select a card from your opponent's hand and have them put it back into their deck.  Mawile's second move is called Big Ol' Bite, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one metal, and does 30 damage, plus it heals 30 damage from Mawile.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mawile 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 not recommend using this card in a deck because neither of Mawile's moves do above average or even average damage.  But if you were to use this card in a metal type deck, you'll of course want to use this card early in your game because it only has 70 hp and it can only do 30 damage per turn.  I would use only one of these, and put three energy cards on it, and then use Big Ol' Bite every turn to hopefully prolong Mawile's time the in active Pokemon spot so I could set up my bench Pokemon.

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 Freeze Pokemon Card set.  Even though this card has an above average hp, low retreat cost, and two moves, I'm still giving this card a below average rating because this card is pretty slow to attack, and neither of its moves do near average damage.  So if you're looking for a metal type basic Pokemon card to use in a deck, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
