Snorunt -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snorunt from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Snorunt is a Basic, Water type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Snorunt does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Chilly, for one Water Energy card, this move does 10 damage.  Frost Breath is this card's second move, for two Water Energy cards, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snorunt is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Glalie, 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, this card could certainly be used as a starter type Pokemon in a Water type deck.  Because this card can attack for only one Energy card, you can start attacking the defending Pokemon the first turn of the game.  Really, the only downside to this card is its retreat cost, but if you put two Energy cards on Snorunt to use Frost Breath, this shouldn't be a problem.  This is certainly a card that can be used on its own, or put into the Active Pokemon spot for a turn or two then evolve it into Glalie.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Glalie, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  This card has a solid HP, and two good moves, like I mentioned above, the only downside on this card is its high retreat cost, otherwise, this is a perfectly fine Basic Pokemon card to use in a Water Type deck.

Snorunt -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Glalie from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Glalie is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Snorunt does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Powder Snow, this move requires one water energy card and puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.  Snorunt's second move is called Headbutt, this move requires two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snorunt is a basic Pokemon card with 2 stage 1 Pokemon, Glalie and Froslass, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with those 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, I would definitely consider using this card in a water type deck because it has an average hp, and two moves.  The only reason I'm a little hesitant on doing this is because Snorunt has a two energy card retreat cost.  But if you do decide to use this basic Pokemon card in your water type deck, I would include up to 4 of these cards in your deck, I would probably use 2, and I would try to use Snorunt to start the game.  I would use Powder Snow right away to put the defending Pokemon to sleep, then while the defending Pokemon is asleep, start attacking with Headbutt, while setting up your benched Pokemon.  I wish Snorunt's retreat cost was lower because then no matter the time in the game, I would use Powder Snow and then retreat Snorunt out the next turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average basic Pokemon card.  Like I mentioned in the strategy section of this review, I would probably use this card in a deck since it is good overall, the only thing that would prevent me from doing this would be Snorunt's somewhat high retreat cost.  But I still think I would use this card in a deck because not only can it 100% put a Pokemon to sleep every turn but it can attack as well and do 20 damage a turn.  So if you're looking for a solid basic Pokemon card to put in your water type deck, this is definitely one to consider.
