Vanillite -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vanillite from the Guardians Rising set.  Vanillite a Basic, Water type Pokemon card with a HP of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Vanillite does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Triple Spin, for one Water Energy card, the move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 3 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vanillite is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Vanillish, and a Stage 2 evolution in Vanilluxe, 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 Vanillite does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, if you're using 4 Trick Coin Trainer cards in your deck, or have another way to guarantee at least one heads when flipping coins when performing Triple Spin, this card has potential for a starter type Pokemon.  Otherwise, keep this card on your Bench if you plan on using Vanillish, or do not use it at all.

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 Guardians Rising set.  Like I stated above, this card does have a decent move in Triple Spin, but other than that, it has a below average HP, and its only move is based off of coin flips.  So overall, look elsewhere for a Basic, Water type Pokemon to use in your deck.

Vanillite -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vanillite from the BREAKthrough set.  Vanillite is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an HP of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vanillite does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Stiffen, for one water energy card this move reduces any damage done to Vanillite during your opponent's next turn by 20.  Vanillite's second move is called Icy Snow, for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vanillite is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Vanillish, and a Stage 2 evolution in Vanilluxe, which I'll be reviewing the next few 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 Vanillite does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, I probably wouldn't use this card in a deck mainly because it has a lower HP than I'd like.  Adding to the low HP is the fact it requires two energy cards to do any damage, however if you're using this card with Vanillish, it would be okay to put this card into the active Pokemon spot to start the game because you can use Stiffen the first turn and prevent your opponent from doing any damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the BREAKthrough set.  Like I said above, if this card would have had an HP of 60, I would have gave it an average rating, but because this card is slow on the attack and has a low HP, that combo makes this card below average.  So if you're building a water type deck, this card should be considered but there is no reason to for sure use it.

Vanillite -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vanillite from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Vanillite 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vanillite does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Jump On, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vanillite is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Vanillish and a stage 2 evolution in Vanilluxe, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this 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, this card may be a card to include in your deck if you need one more card to make it 60 cards in your deck.  This card would function as a starter Pokemon for your deck since it only has one move and only 60 hp.  So get this card into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible, attach two energy cards to it, and use Jump On every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  Even though this card doesn't have a move that only requires one energy card to attack, I am giving this card an average rating because it has an average hp, low retreat cost, and the one move it does have, has the potential to do more than the 20 damage most moves can do on similar cards when using two energy cards.  So again, if you want to use this card in your deck, I would recommend just using 1.

Vanillite -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vanillite from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Vanillite 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 one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vanillite does not have an Ability, and it only has one move.  The only move it has is called Snow Squall, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.  This move cannot be affected by a Pokemon's resistance.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vanillite is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Vanillish and a stage 2 evolution in Vanilluxe, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this 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, Vanillite is a very average basic Pokemon card.  Because this card does have average hp and one quick move, it may make for a good starter Pokemon in your deck, so if you're looking for one more card to include in your water type (or any type deck since this card requires a colorless energy card to attack) Vanillite might be the one you choose.  You'll want to get Vanillite into the active Pokemon spot early so you can use Snow Squall every turn while setting up your benched Pokemon.  Without Vanillite's evolutions this card isn't very good since it can't do more than 10 damage a turn, but it is decent nevertheless for a basic Pokemon card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  I like that this card has an average hp, low retreat cost, and one quick, colorless type move.  However, this card is average and it won't be able to do much in your deck without its evolutions, so if you aren't looking for a filler card in your deck, I wouldn't use this card on its own.
