Pikachu -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pikachu from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Pikachu is a basic, lightning type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Pikachu does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Nuzzle, this move requires one colorless energy card and if you get a heads when you flip a coin paralyzes the defending Pokemon.  Pikachu's second move is called Quick Attack, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage, plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pikachu is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Raichu, 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 would be an okay card to use, but I wouldn't put more than two of these in a deck.  You could start the game with this card in the active Pokemon spot, use Nuzzle the first turn and then Quick Attack after that.  Pikachu is pretty quick so it should give you plenty of time to set up your benched Pokemon and this card will fit great into any type deck because it only requires colorless energy cards to attack.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the X and Y set.  This card can definitely be used in a deck on its own because it has two moves and requires colorless energy cards to use, but this card isn't much more than average so there are definitely better basic Pokemon out there.
