Parasect -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Parasect from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Parasect is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Parasect card does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Colorful Spores, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to search your deck for up to three different Basic energy cards and attach one each to three of your Pokemon.  Parasect's second move is called X-Scissor, for two energy cards, one each of colorless and grass, this move does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Parasect is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Paras into play (I reviewed Paras from this set yesterday) and then evolve Paras into Parasect.  If you read yesterday's review of Paras, you'll know that I thought that card was a very solid Basic Pokemon card, it has an average HP, low retreat cost, and one good move that only required one energy card to use, did 10 damage and also healed 10 damage from itself.  The biggest negative on Paras was the fact that it was so limited and wouldn't be effective later in games.  So knowing this about Paras and looking at this Parasect card, I think the main reason you'd want to use this Pokemon family in a deck, and it could be any type deck, is for Parasect's Colorful Spores move, it can quickly get 3 of your benched Pokemon set up, and this move is better than some because you have to use different types of energy so it works well with dual type decks.  If you want to best utilize X-Scissor, I would attach a Trick Coin trainer to this card to have a better chance of doing 60 damage.  At most, I would suggest using a 1-1 line of this Pokemon family, mainly for Colorful Spores.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the BREAKthrough set that can become above average if used in a dual type deck or with a Pokemon that requires multiple energy types to attack.  I like both of the moves on Parasect and the fact that it has an above average HP.  Of course, I wish X-Scissor wasn't based on a coin flip, but being able to do 30 damage for two energy cards isn't that bad.  So overall, the Paras and Parasect line from the BREAKthrough set is pretty average but can work well in most decks out there.
