Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shellos from the Steam Siege Pokemon Card Set. Shellos is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Shellos does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Rain Splash that does 10 damage for one water energy card.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shellos is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Gastrodon, 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, although this card could be used as a starter type Pokemon since it can attack for only one energy card and it has an above average HP, without Gastrodon, I wouldn't use this card in a deck. I say this because the retreat cost on Shellos is higher than its attack cost, so you would either have to use a Switch trainer to retreat it for free, or you would have to waste an additional energy card just to retreat it. Plus, later in games, being able to do 10 damage a turn, won't do much for you. So my opinion on this card is that it would be a fine start to the line if you're using Gastrodon, but on its own, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Gastrodon, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card. Like I mentioned above, this card has a good HP, and a quick attacking move, but this card is very limited in what it can do overall and has a high retreat cost, so unless you need this card to get to Gastrodon, look elsewhere for a starter water type Pokemon for your deck.
