Zubat -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zubat from the Phantom Forces set.  Zubat is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Zubat does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Skill Dive, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Zubat is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Golbat and a stage 2 evolution in Crobat, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, you could definitely use this card as a starter type Pokemon in any type deck, but I would not use more than one of these if you choose to use Zubat without its evolutions.  Because Zubat only has 50 HP and can only do 10 damage maximum, the card will be quite limited later on in games.  But this card does work well at the beginning of games because it can attack any of your opponent's Pokemon and it would be a perfect starter type Pokemon in a spread damage type deck or with a deck featured around a Pokemon that does additional damage if the defending Pokemon already has damage on it.

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 Phantom Forces set.  Even though I still would use this card in a deck, it is just really limited overall that is why I'm giving it a little lower rating.  If this card had 60 HP and a second move it would be a great card, but since it has 50 HP and only one move I have to give it a 2 rating.  Nevertheless, this card can be used as a starter type Pokemon in a spread damage type deck since it can attack any Pokemon it pleases.
