Snivy -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snivy from the Fates Collide set.  Snivy is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Snivy does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Blot.  This move does 10 damage and heals 10 damage from Snivy for one grass energy card.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snivy is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Servine, and a Stage 2 evolution in Serperior, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will just act like Snivy does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, this card could definitely be used as a starter type Pokemon since it can attack for only one energy card, and it will help you set up your benched Pokemon in the beginning of a game since Snivy should be able to last longer in the active Pokemon spot since it can heal itself every turn.  But, later in games, since this card can only do 10 damage total, it is best left on your bench, so if you want to use this card on its own, don't use more than 1 or 2 of these in a 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 Fates Collide set.  Other than just being able to do 10 damage a turn, this card is solid overall, with a low retreat cost, average HP, and a good move that does damage and heals damage from Snivy.  So, if you're building a grass type deck, this card is definitely worth consideration.

Snivy -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snivy from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Snivy is a basic, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon,no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Snivy does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Vine Whip and for one grass type energy card this move does 10 damage.  Oddish's second move is called Cut and for two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snivy has a stage 1 evolution in Servine, and a stage 2 evolution in Serperior, I would definitely recommend including both those two Pokemon in a deck with Snivy.  However, this Snivy card would function as a great starter Pokemon card so I would definitely use it that way.  I would put it into the active Pokemon spot as soon as I could at the start of the game, and depending on how many energy cards you have on Snivy will determine which move you will use.  Of course you'll want to evolve it into Servine when you can, but if you need one Pokemon card for a deck, this card may fit the bill, and actually make an impact for you in your game.  As a starter Pokemon, I would use 1 of these in a mostly grass type deck, with its evolutions I would use more, but you'll have to read the reviews in the next few days to know how many I would use exactly.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average yet very solid basic Pokemon card.  This card has a solid hp, low retreat cost, and two very solid moves.  This card is a great starter Pokemon card and a wonderful way to start off your evolution to Serperior.  I wish all basic Pokemon cards with a stage 2 evolution were this good!  So like I stated in the strategy section, this card is a good card to use alone, but I would always recommend using cards with its evolutions.
