Golett -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Golett from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Golett is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Golett does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Beat, for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage.  Golett's second move is called Mega Punch, this move requires three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, and does 50 damage per turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Golett is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Golurk, 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, this card could be used as a starter type Pokemon in your deck because it has a high hp and can attack quickly, however if I decided to use this card in a deck, I would only use 2 of them unless I'm using it with Golurk.  I say this because the retreat cost on Golett is too high in my opinion and if you spend the time to get three energy cards on it, the move does below average damage.  So strategy wise, I would try to get this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game, use Beat a couple of times and then use a trainer card that will allow you to switch out Golett for free.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  I like that this card has a high hp and two moves however I don't like the fact that this card's retreat cost is way too high and the move that requires the most energy cards does below average damage.  If the retreat cost was lower on this card I would definitely use this card in a deck.
