Scolipede -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Scolipede from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Scolipede is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Scolipede does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Random Peck, for one psychic energy card this move does 20 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads you get when you flip 2 coins.  Scolipede's second move is called Poison Ring, this move requires four energy cards, three colorless and one psychic, and does 70 damage.  This move also poisons the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Scolipede is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Venipede into play and then evolve it into Whirlipede before you can evolve Whirlipede into Scolipede, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  Neither of these Pokemon are very good with Venipede being a better basic Pokemon than Whirlipede a stage 1, so if you use this Pokemon family in your deck, make sure to evolve them on your bench.  Even if you can't evolve your Pokemon into Scolipede on your bench, as soon as you get Scolipede in your hand evolve Whirlipede so you can use Scolipede's Random Peck attack and then when Scolipede has four energy cards on it, use Poison Ring every turn.  I personally would not use this Pokemon or any Pokemon in this family from the X and Y set in a deck, even though Scolipede is average, it doesn't make up for the shortcomings of the first two Pokemon in this line.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average card overall in the X and Y Pokemon card set.  This card has a good hp and two solid moves, but the retreat cost on this card is high and it is high on both of the first Pokemon in this family.  So overall, I would give the entire line of Venipede, Whirlipede, and Scolipede from this set a 2 out of 5 rating, this family should not be used in decks.  Individually, Venipede was a 3, Whirlipede a 1, and Scolipede a 3.
