Cryogonal -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cryogonal from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Cryogonal is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cryogonal does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Call Sign, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to search your deck for a water Pokemon and put it into your hand.  Cryogonal's second move, called Cryofreeze, also requires one energy card, this time a water energy card, and does 10 damage, however when using this move you must discard an energy card attached to Cryogonal, but when you do this your opponent cannot attack during their next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cryogonal is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Even though this card only requires one energy card to attack, I would wait a while before I would use this card in a game.  The reason I say this is because I would set up Cryogonal on the bench, put at least three energy cards on it, then in the middle of the game, I would move Cryogonal into the active Pokemon spot, use Cryofreeze several turns in a row, by doing this, your opponent's active Pokemon won't be able to attack and you in turn will be able to set up your benched Pokemon while Cryogonal is stalling for you.  I wouldn't use this card for Call Sign, I would rather use a Trainer/Supporter card for this.  So, if I were to use this card in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 of these.  I personally wouldn't use this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card set.  Even though this card has a good hp, two moves, and a low retreat cost, I'm giving this card a below average rating because neither of Cryogonal's moves are average, they are both below average.  Other than that, this card is average, but I don't want anyone to get tricked into thinking this card is really better than it is.  So I would not recommend using this card in a deck.

Cryogonal -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cryogonal from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Cryogonal is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cryogonal does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Ice Edge and for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, this move does 20 damage plus 20 more damage if you flip a coin and get a heads.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cryogonal is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  This is a good water type Pokemon card to include in almost any water type deck because you can just include the one card, and play it whenever you need a basic Pokemon and a Pokemon that can attack fairly quickly and has the potential to do a good amount of damage.  I would consider putting Cryogonal in the active Pokemon spot right away to start the game, even though it requires to energy cards to attack, with 90 hp it should be able to endure most basic Pokemon's attacks, then as soon as you get two energy cards on Cryogonal, just use Ice Edge every turn, hoping for some luck to do 40 damage.   Since this card only has the one move, I wouldn't go overboard with these cards in a deck, I would just use this card if I needed one more Pokemon in a water type deck, because this card is very solid and will make a nice addition to your deck.

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 Boundaries Crossed set.  I like Cryogonal's high hp, it is quite similar to a stage 1 Pokemon's hp, I also like that it has an average move in Ice Edge but can become more than average if you flip a heads.  Plus, with a low retreat cost, you can start this card at the beginning of the game, play a few turns with Cryogonal while setting up your bench, then retreat it quite easily and put a better Pokemon in the active spot.
