Its Ability

Freeze-up

Once during your turn, when you play Walrein from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may flip 2 coins. If both are heads, discard 1 of the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it. (This doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon.)

Its attacks

Ice Bind

70

If your opponent doesn't discard a card from his or her hand, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    130 HP. Only 2 cards in Mysterious Treasures carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Freeze-up. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Sealeo to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Metal +30. Against a Metal Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 529 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Mysterious Treasures landed here on 1 August 2007.
