Today's Pokémon Card:

X&Y - Mr. Mime

“Emanations from its fingertips solidify the air into 

invisible walls that repel even harsh attacks.”

Total Overview:

Hey dudes and dudettes out there! Hope you’re all doing well and are ready for today’s review :D

This time I’ve chosen this Mr. Mime from the X&Y set, and since this is what everybody wants right now, I think I’m going to continue reviewing X&Y Pokémon, until there are no more, or until it gets boring :P

So.. Mr. Mime has 80HP and is actually the first fairy type Pokémon I’ve reviewed.

It has 2 attacks, the first one is called Massage and it requires 1 fairy energy card and 1 colorless energy card to use. It doesn’t deal any damage, but it heals 60 damage from one of your benched Pokémon! So that’s actually a pretty cool “attack”.

The other one is called Slap Down and requires 1 fairy energy and 2 colorless ones. It deals 40+ damage, AND 20 more for each heads you get, when you flip a coin. You have 2 coins to flip in this attack :)

I think this is probably the first Pokémon I’ve reviewed that has a resistance! So that’s awesome.. It’s -20 resistant to dark Pokémon, which means that if a Sandile deals 50 damage to Mr. Mime, you can remove 20 damage, so it only deals 30.

It’s weak x2 to metal type Pokémon, so if a Skarmory deals 30 damage to Mr. Mime you have to double it up, which makes it 60 damage in total.

If you wish to retreat Mr. Mime it will cost you 2 energy cards of your very own choice! Oh boy! ;)

Mr. Mime is a basic Pokémon, so you don’t have to worry about having any other Pokémon in play, before you can have Mr. Mime as your active Pokémon. 

Personal Opinion:

So, looking at other uncommon Pokémon cards in this X&Y sets and, well, taking a lot of them in consideration, Mr. Mime seems to be very average. It has a very fair amount of HP, it has an opportunity to heal one of your benched Pokémon, but that way, Mr. Mime of course cannot attack the opponent in that round, AND it requires that you have a Pokémon on your bench, that has been in combat and has been wounded and retreated ;) The other attack is pretty average though, so I think the amount of Poké Balls Mr. Mime will get, is:

Yeah, I think I’ve explained pretty well already, why I’ve chosen to give it 3 Poké Balls :) Maybe it could have gotten 4 instead, but it actually is pretty average taken the rest of the set in consideration.. So if you want, we can give it 3 1/2 Poké Balls instead :D

A bit about the artwork:

Well, there is a reason I chose this card.

I haven’t really been that crazy about Mr. Mime at all, I always thought he looked scary as sh*t and mostly just hated the artwork. This is the first exception I’ve ever seen!

I can’t even describe how much I love this card, and it’s definitely one of my favourites in this set. First and foremost, I like the colour of the fairy type Pokémon, they could have made it like a really gross pink colour, but this is very tolerable and makes the cards look amazing.

But the way the Mr. Mime just sits there, in this magic forest, is amazing.. The colours in the artwork are beautiful, and you can almost imagine that Mr. Mime is sitting in his own little imaginary world, surrounded be trees, and little shiny star-things. He just looks so happy and calm and peaceful - is that too much? :P

I guess you get the point, I really like the artwork on this card :) 

Next Card Review:

As I said in the beginning, I’m just going to keep on doing these X&Y Pokémon, so next time give it up for Bidoof!
