Primeape -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Primeape from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Primeape is a stage 1, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Primeape does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Fury Swipes, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 3 coins.  Primeape's second move is called Karate Chop, this move requires two fighting energy cards and does 80 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter that is on Primeape.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Primeape is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Mankey into play (I reviewed Mankey from this set yesterday) and then evolve Mankey into Primeape.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Mankey was a very solid basic Pokemon card and one that could be used in a deck on its own, as a starter in your fighting type deck.  Because of this, you should be using Mankey in most fighting type decks if you need a starter Pokemon, and if you're using Mankey, you might as well use at least 1 Primeape with it, because Primeape can do more damage and has a higher hp.  So I would recommend using a 2 or 3 line of Mankey with 1 or 2 Primeape.  I would move Mankey into the active Pokemon spot immediately, use its only move until you can evolve it into Primeape and use Karate Chop if it does at least 60 damage or Fury Swipes otherwise.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card.  I think that this card is above average because it has an average hp, low retreat cost and two quick moves that both have the potential to do way above damage, couple this card with the Mankey card from the Plasma Freeze set, and I would give these two cards a 4 out of 5 rating, and would consider this line a definite upgrade to any fighting type deck out there.
