Makuhita -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Makuhita from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Makuhita is a Basic, Fighting type Pokemon card with a HP of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Makuhita does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  Makuhita's first move is called Surprise Attack, for one Fighting Energy card this move does 20 damage, however you must flip a coin when using this move, if you get a tails, the move does nothing.  Makuhita's second move is called Strength, for two Energy cards, one each of Fighting and Colorless, this move does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Makuhita is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Hariyama, 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, if you're looking for above average power from a Basic Pokemon for a Fighting type deck, this card definitely fits the bill.  If you can somehow guarantee 20 damage every turn with Surprise Attack, this card would be much better.  40 damage for two Energy cards is solid and this card is a good lead in to Hariyama, since you can put Makuhita in the Active Pokemon spot, it doesn't have to be evolved on the Bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Hariyama, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  This card has an above average HP, and two solid moves.  I like that this card is quick on the attack, and is a good Basic Pokemon that evolves into a Stage 1.  So, if you're building a Fighting type deck, this card should definitely be considered.
