Espurr -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Espurr Burning Shadows Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Espurr from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Espurr is a Basic, Psychic type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Perplexing Eyes, for one Colorless Energy card, this move makes your opponent's Active Pokemon have a Psychic type weakness until the end of your next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Espurr is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Meowstic, 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, the only way you would want to use this card in a deck is if you're building a majority Psychic type deck, by doing this, you could then use Espurr for one turn, attacking with Perplexing Eyes, then either retreat it during your next turn with a Float Stone, or Guzma, and do double the amount of damage with your new Active Pokemon against your opponent's Active Pokemon.  So essentially, this is a great way to quickly do more damage when attacking and knock a Pokemon out.  The one downfall with this strategy is that with only 60 HP, it will be pretty easy for your opponent to knock out Espurr in one turn, but it may be worth it, if you can knock out a GX or EX in one turn when you're able to do double the amount of damage when attacking.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Meowstic, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Like I mentioned above, there is definitely merit for using this card in a Psychic type deck, but if you don't have any Psychic Pokemon set up and ready to attack, Espurr's only move will do very little and it will only get knocked out by your opponent.
