    Thanks to Water Pokemon Master from www.pokebeach.com for the scan.
     
    My first Pokemon TCG card review, hope it's good ^_^;

    Grumpig, Stage 1, 70HP that is respectable, and easy to use as Spoink cards are easy to come by. Being Psychic is not an advantage or disadvantage at the moment, so it's type means nothing. It's attacks are good, Snap Tail 1C for 10, basic stuff, Psypunch is great, 1P1C for 40, that is excellent, as usualy we pay 3energies for 50 these days and 2 for 20/30 damage. The art on the card is very nice, natural habitat and more... animalistic is what I personaly like in card art. I could see it in a mono psychic or duel colour deck, it is something I would put in anything running Psychic energy.

    Art-5/5-Fabulous
    Attacks-3/5-Cheapies, but goodies.
    Playability-3/5-Deck needs Psychic/Rainbow energies.
     
    Nice art... I like the pleasing sence it give, but still showing the meanness on Grumpig!

    Snap Tail kind of attacks (for C you get to deal 10 on any of oppoonen't Pokémon) is more common on Basic Pokémon and that doesn't make Grumpig especially good...

    Psy Punch, for PC, 40 dmage, no effect, is equilibrate at a Stage 1 Pokémon. Nut I kinda was expecting something better!


    Bottom stats and upper stats are OK, I guess. It's not unusual on Psychic Pokémon...

    Overall... 7/10, cause the attacks are just a lil better than an evolving Basic Pokémon can do. And 5/10 to Nintendo for not making stronger Grumpigs!
     
    i agree with typh, its usless -too weak for bench attacking, and too useless for direct attcking, and no power, no body, no combos to go with it - 3/10 for a proper deck, 7/10 for noobs.
