Seviper -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Seviper Burning Shadows Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Seviper from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Seviper is a Basic, Psychic type Pokemon card with a HP of 100.  Seviper has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card's Ability is called More Poison and says to put 1 more damage counter on your opponent's Poisoned Pokemon between turns.  Besides the Ability, this card just has one move called Venomous Fang, for three Energy cards, one Psychic and two Colorless, this move does 30 damage, and it Poisons the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Seviper is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Seviper.  So knowing this, because Venomous Fang requires three Energy cards to do below average damage when attacking, this card is best suited to sit on the Bench while you use another Pokemon in your deck to Poison the defending Pokemon, that way, you don't have to attach any Energy cards on this card at all, but you can utilize its Ability.  Without having other Pokemon in your deck that can inflict Poison, there is no scenario in which this card is useful to deploy.

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 Burning Shadows set.  This average rating is based solely on this card's Ability, because without the Ability, this card is under-powered and slow on the attack.  But like I mentioned above, keep this card on your Bench and use it to increase the amount of damage defending Pokemon take when they're poisoned.
