Today's Pokémon Card:
Platinum: Rising Rivals - Nidoran (Male)
Total Overview:
Hey guys!
Unfortunately I didn't really get any replies on my question in the last review, but I'll just carry on regardless :)
I think I'll jump right into it today, and just get started on this great Pokémon.
Nidoran is a psychic type Pokémon, which I really don't understand. Nidoran has always been a grass Pokémon, but the people at Nintendo decided to play with us at some point, and just change the types around a bit, give them a good shuffle, eh!? Like letting Charizard be a lightning type Pokémon, I mean it's ridiculous!!
But anyway.. This one has 50 HP and 2 different attacks. The first attack is Leer, it does no damage but lets you flip a coin. If heads, your opponent cannot attack during his or her turn. I guess that's a pretty cool attack if you are forced to have Nidoran as your active Pokémon and you only have one energy card attached to it.
The other attack is Horn Hazard which deals 40 damage IF you get a heads in the coin flip that you have to do. If tails, the attack does NOTHING AT ALL! And then you're kinda screwed.. So it can be dangerous to have this Pokémon out there in the gameplay unless you have a lot of Nidorino's and are able to make it evolve before putting it as your active Pokémon.
It has no resistance to any Pokémon types, it's weak to psychic Pokémon x10, which means that whenever this type of Pokémon attacks you, you have to put 10 damage, meaning 1 damage counter, on your Pokémon besides the damage that is already done by your opponent's attack. If you wish to retreat Nidoran, it will cost you one energy of your desire :)
This is a basic Pokémon and it has 2 evolutions, and I would definitely recommend that you evolve to Nidorino before you play it, because this one almost doesn't stand a chance!

Personal Opinion:
I would say this is a 2/5 star Pokémon, it's definitely below average, and I might even consider it to be only 1/5 instead. Since this is a set with A LOT of basic Pokémon, you have so many to choose from, and quite frankly some of these are a lot better than this little guy. It gets better if it evolves to Nidorino or Nidoking, but you have to remember that you risk never pulling one of these Pokémon at all, and then you're just stuck with this basic Pokémon, when you could have chosen others that deal more damage and has more HP. So choose wisely!
The energy requirements are very fair in my opinion.

A bit about the artwork:
It's quite funny to look at this Pokémon.. Doesn't it remind you of something? You're absolutely right! It's the exact same print as it was almost 10 years earlier, when Base Set came out! I was surprised when I discovered it, but I also think it's kinda cool, as long as they don't do it too much :)
The background on the 2 cards are a little different, and this one looks like it's standing in the forest on some leafs, looking over its shoulder to see if anyone is coming. It looks cool, but very plain and simple, not a whole lot of action going on in this card!

Next Card Review:
The document thing is working, so I can now keep track of all the Pokémon I've reviewed, YAAY! :D
I think the next card is going to be another one from the Rising Rivals set, because I just opened 30 packs of Pokémon Boosters! The videos will be up and running very soon on my channel on YouTube, so don't forget to check it out! It was awesome.
Therefore, I'm going to do a review next time of the Platinum Rising Rivals reprint of Pikachu! I think it's SO awesome and I'm really looking forward to it!
