Seviper Sandstorm 11/100
Seviper’s first card puts it immediately in a battle with Zangoose. I don’t really like this artwork as it doesn’t show Zangoose in a lot of detail to highlight Seviper. The design choice makes sense, but it’s hard to tell who Seviper is fighting at first. It almost looks more like Gliscor!
As you can see, Seviper is a Grass-Type card. Before Poison-types were represented as Darkness, they were Psychic, and Grass before that. Diamond and Pearl would make the change from Grass to Psychic, so there aren’t a lot of green Seviper cards.
Seviper is a decent attacker, not needing a specific Energy color and having a solid 80 HP for a Basic. I would say its main weakness is the Retreat Cost of 2. Notice how Extra Poison says “If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex”. Now, we would see “is a Pokémon-ex”, but I guess ex was then considered more of an attribute than a type of card.
