Pokemon Card of the Day: Abomasnow (Stormfront)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Abomasnow from the Stormfront set. This is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a +30 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Its Poke-Body is called Snow Veil and says that as long as Abomasnow is your active Pokemon, any damage done to your benched Pokemon is reduced by 20. Besides the Poke-Body, Abomasnow has two moves, the first move is called Snow Play and does 20 damage for two colorless energy cards, it also does 20 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon that aren't grass or water type. Abomasnow's second move is called Below Zero and does the standard 60 damage for three energy cards, in this case, one water and two colorless. And if you just evolved Snover into Abomasnow, the defending Pokemon is paralyzed. As far as strategy goes, this is the perfect way to combat an opponent who uses spread type damage, the only thing is you need to have Abomasnow last in order to prevent this damage. Other than that, this Pokemon is pretty good for a stage 1 Pokemon, since it does 100 hp and it is fairly quick. I would rate this card a 3 out of 5 because it is average overall, I do like its Poke-Body like I said already, but 60 damage for 3 energy cards is standard on many Pokemon, but Snow Play is an amazing move if your opponent's active Pokemon is trying to do spread damage and doesn't attack Abomasnow, that way you can do damage to a lot of Pokemon at once, quite a few turns in a row. So thanks for reading today's review of Abomasnow from the Stormfront set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Bronzong from the same set.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Regigigas (Stormfront)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Regigigas from the Stormfront set. This is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Regigigas's Poke-Body is called Regi Form that says if you have Regirock, Regice, and Registeel in play, the attack cost of Regigigas's attacks is one colorless energy card less. Besides the Poke-Body, Regigigas has two moves, the first move is called Mega Punch, which does 30 damage for two colorless energy cards. Regigigas's second move is called Giga Power which takes four energy cards, one each of water, fighting, metal, and colorless, and does 60 damage plus 40 more damage if you do 40 damage to itself. So as far as strategy goes I would try and use this card with all the other Regi cards so you can use Regigigas's Poke-Body, also I would make sure to use some special energy cards so you could actually use Giga Power. But other than that, there isn't too much to do with this card, because of this I would give this card a 1 out of 5. It has an extremely high retreat cost, neither of its moves are great, and it requires to many different types of energy cards to be used very often. So thanks for reading today's review of Regigigas from the Stormfront set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Abomasnow from the same set.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Mismagius (Stormfront)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Mismagius from the Stormfront set. This is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 80. It has a +20 weakness to dark Pokemon, a -20 resistance to colorless Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Mismagius doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Crash Chant and for no energy cards at all, this move does 20 damage times the number of Pokemon Tool or Technical Machine cards in play you choose to discard, you can discard up to four cards in this way. Mismagius's second move is called Horror Chant and for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, Mismagius does 40 damage. Plus if your opponent has 4 or more benched Pokemon you can choose that Pokemon and make your opponent return that card and all cards attached to it to their hand. As far as strategy goes I would recommend using some Pokemon Tools or Technical Machines in your deck if you want to use Crash Chant. But I would stick to Horror Chant and use it solely for the purpose of having one of your opponent's Pokemon go back to their hand. I would wait to evolve Misdreavous into Mismagius until your opponent has a Pokemon that is set up well on their bench, then I would evolve Misdreavous and put it into the active Pokemon spot, use Horror Chant and sent that benched Pokemon to your opponent's hand. I would give this card a 2 out of 5 however because it has a low hp of only 80, also its first move more than likely won't do anything, I would probably use this card once and then retreat it. So thanks for reading today's review of Mismagius from the Stormfront set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Regigigas from the same set.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Electric Type Magnezone (Stormfront)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is the electric type Magnezone from the Stormfront set. This is a stage 2, electric type Pokemon, with an hp of 120. It has a +30 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a retreat cost of 3 colorless energy cards. Its Poke-Power, called Super Connectivity is quite similar to the Magnezone I reviewed yesterday, except this Poke-Power allows you to search your discard pile for any electric or metal type energy card and attach it to your active Pokemon, if you do this you then have to put 10 damage on that active Pokemon. Magnezone's only move is called Gyro Ball and does the standard 60 damage for 3 energy cards, in this case, one electric and two colorless. Besides doing the damage you may switch Magnezone with one of your benched Pokemon, if you choose to do this, your opponent may do the same. As far as strategy goes I would highly recommend using this card with the Magnezone I used yesterday, not only do they share the same evolutions, but you could use the Metal Type Magnezone's move that does 80 damage but then have to discard an energy card one turn, and then use this Magnezone's Poke-Power the next turn and be able to use Crush Volt again the consecutive turn. I would rate this card a 3 out of 5 because it has an average move, that makes up for its high retreat cost, and I really like its Poke-Power that works well with Pokemon that are electric or metal type and discard energy cards. So thanks for reading today's review of the electric type Magnezone from the Stormfront set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Mismagius from the same set.
