Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ledyba from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set. Ledyba is a Basic, Grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 60. It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost. Ledyba does not have an Ability and it only has one move. The only move on this card is called Agility, for one Grass Energy card, this move does 10 damage, plus if you get a heads when flipping a coin, all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Ledyba during your opponent's next turn, is prevented.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ledyba is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Ledian, 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, this card could certainly be used as a starter type Pokemon in a Grass type deck since it can attack for only one Energy card. While 10 damage per turn while attacking isn't much, the thing I like about this card is that you have a 50% chance of preventing your opponent from damaging Ledyba during their next turn, so if you're in a jam late in the game or want to set up a Benched Pokemon while having Ledyba in the Active Pokemon spot, you have a chance when using Agility. So while I wouldn't build a deck around this card, obviously, if you're desperate for some Grass type deck Pokemon cards in your deck or are looking for a decent starter type Pokemon, this card fits that bill.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Ledian, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall. Like most Pokemon with only 60 HP, this card won't last long later in games, but I do like that this card can attack quickly, and if you have some luck, it can help you set up your Benched Pokemon, or give you time to find Ledian in your deck to evolve Ledyba before it gets knocked out. This is the type of card I could see being used in theme decks as opposed to competitive decks.
