Spheal -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spheal from the Flashfire set.  Spheal is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Spheal does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Ice Ball, this move requires two water type energy cards and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spheal is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Sealeo and a stage 2 evolution in Walrein, 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, this card could definitely be used in a water type deck as a starter type Pokemon or a card to get on your bench so you don't lose the game.  I wouldn't use more than 1 one of these in a deck on its own, because the retreat cost and only move Spheal has require two energy cards, so the card is slower to use, but with 70 hp, early on in the game it would be able to endure a couple of attacks while getting energy cards attached to it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  I like the high hp this card has and the Ice Ball move that does 20 damage, but this card is quite limited because it only has one move, no Ability or anything, and once you retreat Spheal, you won't have any energy cards attached to it anymore if you just had the two on it for Ice Ball.  So overall, if you're building a heavy water type deck, this card should definitely be considered for it.
