Pokemon Card Overview:Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Beartic from the Emerging Powers set. This is the first of two Beartic card reviews from this set. This is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. It doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Sheer Cold which does 50 damage for three energy cards, one water and two colorless, besides doing the damage, the defending Pokemon can't attack during their next turn. Beartic's second move is called Icicle Crash which does 80 damage for four energy cards, two each of water and colorless, this move isn't affected by resistance so it will always do at least 80 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this would be a great Pokemon to get ready on your bench and when one of your Pokemon gets knocked out put this Pokemon in. I would stick to Sheer Cold, unless you can knock out the defending Pokemon in one turn with Icicle Crash. The only thing to watch out for with this card is that it is slow, so you'll want to make sure and not put it into play without energy cards attached to it.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. I like this card because you can prevent your opponent from attacking you almost every turn by using Sheer Cold, and not only does that move prevent damage but it does a substantial amount of damage to the defending Pokemon each turn. So I do like this card, you'll have to read tomorrow's review of the other Beartic card from this set and see if I like that one even better.
