Glaceon -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Glaceon from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Glaceon is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Glaceon's Ability is called Freeze Zone and says that each of your Team Plasma Pokemon in play have two colorless energy cards less in their retreat cost.  Besides the Ability, Glaceon has one move called Icy Wind, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one water, and does 60 damage plus it puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Glaceon is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Eevee into play, like I mentioned in earlier Eevee-evolution reviews from this set, there are actually two Eevee cards in this set but I have not reviewed either of them yet, you may also want to consider using one of the two Eevee cards from the Dark Explorers set, and then evolve Eevee into Glaceon.  Because I haven't reviewed either Eevee cards from this set yet I won't talk now about which one of those cards are best to use, but regardless of which one you use, if you want to use Glaceon in a deck, it would be best to set up Glaceon on the bench, that way you can utilize Glaceon's Ability to help all of your other Team Plasma Pokemon in play.  So based just on Glaceon's Ability, I would make sure to include many Team Plasma Pokemon in your deck, in preferably a water based deck, but because Icy Wind requires only one water energy card this card may work well in most type decks.  So I would recommend trying to keep Glaceon in play at all times to utilize its Ability, but if you get this card into the active Pokemon spot quite quickly, this card can put the defending Pokemon to sleep thus allowing you to set up your benched Pokemon.  I would use this card in a deck, and use a 2-2 line of Eevee and Glaceon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card and definitely one of the better cards I've reviewed so far from this set.  I like that this card not only has a great Ability that will help your whole team out (if you use many Team Plasma Pokemon) but its only move Icy Wind is a very good move that not only does a fair amount of damage but puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.  So if you're building a Team Plasma deck or water type deck, this card should definitely be in it.

Quagsire -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Quagsire from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Quagsire is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Quagsire's Ability is called Laid Back, which says that any damage done to Quagsire is reduced by 20.  Besides the Ability, Quagsire has one move called Mud Gun, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one water, and does 60 damage plus 30 more damage if Quagsire has any fighting energy cards attached to it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Quagsire is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Wooper into play (I reviewed Wooper from this set yesterday) and then evolve Wooper into Quagsire.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Wooper wasn't the greatest basic Pokemon card out there because it only had one move and the only move it had was based on coin flips.  So if you choose to use Quagsire in your deck, I would evolve Wooper into Quagsire onto the bench.  I would use a 2-1 line, and try and move Quagsire into the active Pokemon spot as soon as it gets three energy cards on it, not only will Quagsire's Ability help it out in the active Pokemon spot to last longer and allow you set up your benched Pokemon, but if you attach a fighting energy card to Quagsire it can do 90 damage per turn.  So if I were to use this card in a deck, I would make sure to use it in a dual type deck that included water and fighting type Pokemon.  With that being said, I would not use this Quagsire 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 stage 1 Pokemon card.  I do like that this card has quite a high hp for a stage 1 Pokemon, especially with its Ability, and I like that this card can do 90 damage per turn, but the reason I'm giving this card a below average rating is because the card is too slow in my opinion and if you do put it in the active Pokemon spot, it will take a lot to retreat it back to your bench.  So when you look at Wooper and Quagsire from this set combined, neither card is either average, so overall this line would get a 2 out of 5 rating, I would not use this line in a deck.

Wooper -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wooper from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Wooper is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Wooper does not have Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Slam which requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and water, and does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wooper is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Quagsire, 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, I would not suggest using Wooper in a deck.  I say this because Wooper only has one move, which is not the quickest, and if you spend the time to put two energy cards on this card, you still may not end up being able to attack because Slam requires coin flips.  So I would not recommend using this card at all.  If you choose to, you'll have no choice but to use Slam every turn, and hope to get lucky.

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.  The reason I'm giving this card a below average rating is because I really don't like Wooper's only move Slam, even though it has the potential to do 40 damage per turn, you really can't trust coin flip based moves.  The only thing preventing me from giving this card a 1 out of 5 is the fact that Wooper has above average hp, because other than that, this card isn't good at all.

Vaporeon -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vaporeon from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Vaporeon is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vaporeon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Refreshing Rain which requires one colorless energy card and heals 30 damage from all of your Pokemon in play.  Vaporeon's second move is called Gold Breaker, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and water, and does 30 damage plus 50 more damage if the defending Pokemon is an EX Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vaporeon is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Eevee into play, like I mentioned in earlier Eevee-evolution reviews from this set, there are actually two Eevee cards in this set but I have not reviewed either of them yet, you may also want to consider using one of the two Eevee cards from the Dark Explorers set, and then evolve Eevee into Vaporeon.  Because I haven't reviewed either Eevee cards from this set yet I won't talk now about which one of those cards are best to use, but regardless of which one you use, if you want to use Vaporeon in a deck, it would be best to set up Vaporeon on the bench, that way you can have time to put two energy cards on it and prepare it to heal some damage for your Pokemon late in the game.  So I would include 1 of these cards, so a 1-1 line of Eevee and Vaporeon in almost any type deck, and use the card in a deck that has Pokemon that have low or free retreat costs, that way you can attack with those other Pokemon first, retreat them for next to nothing, then move Vaporeon into the active Pokemon spot when most of your Pokemon have damage on them, and use Refreshing Rain a couple of turns to heal all of your Pokemon.  You'll of course want to use Gold Breaker if you can knock out the defending Pokemon with 30 damage, but the main reason to use this card is for Refreshing Rain.  So I would use Vaporeon until all of your Pokemon are fully healed and then retreat it back to your bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card.  I like that this card has above average hp for a stage 1 Pokemon card, and an even higher hp if you consider that one of Vaporeon's moves heals 30 damage when used.  I like both moves on this card, both are solid.  The only thing I don't like about this card is its retreat cost which is a little high in my opinion but it doesn't make me not want to use this card in a deck.
