Hi there. In this short Pokemon TCG post I cover the cards from the Quaaquaval evolution line, Morelull and Shiinotic.
Quaxly is a Basic 60 HP Water Pokemon with one retreat cost and Lightning weakness. For one Water Energy you do 10 base damage. If you flip Heads then the Swallon Return attack does 30 damage.
Quaxwell is a 100 HP Stage 1 Water Pokemon with one retreat cost and Lightning weakness. For one Water Energy you do 40 damage. This Stage 1 attacker is an okay beatstick.
This version of Quaquaval is a Stage 2 Water Pokemon with 170 HP. The attack of Hydro Splash is okay as it does 120 damage for the cost of 1 Water Energy and 1 Colourless Energy.
The Quaquaval ability of Up Tempo can be used once during your turn. You may put one card from your hand to the bottom of the deck. Then you can draw cards until 5 in hand. I find this ability to be somewhat underwhelming. If you have more than 5 cards then this ability is not helpful. If it was one card from hand to bottom of deck then draw 3 cards then this Quaquaval would be more playable.
Morelull is a 60 HP Basic Grass Pokemon. It is not a very good attacker.
Shiinotic is a Stage 1 Grass Pokemon that evolves from Morelull. The Relaxing Light ability can be used once during your turn if Shiinotic is in the Active Spot. The opponent's Active Pokemon is now Asleep. The Asleep ability is pretty annoying for the opponent. In between turns the player with the Asleep Pokemon flips a coin. If heads the Sleep condition goes away. If tails then the Sleep condition holds.
The Spiral Rush attack from Shiinotic costs one Grass Energy and one Colourless Energy for 60 base damage. Flip a coin until Tails. You do 30 more damage for each Heads.
I think this Shiinotic will not be super competitive but it can be annoying to play against with that ability.
