Need to start?
Not much to say on this card... But keeping with my structure of card rating, here we go.

Main Stats:

The Card is fairly average, it has a normal type (only metal) It has normal Weaknesses and Resistances, and 60 HP. Not much to say on this end.

Attacks:

Mining - OMG... BROKEN, well, not really lol. This is a great attack to have when you start your game, you can get any trainer card you need and use it the next turn, perfect for setting up your Pokémon (If you have Evolving Trainer cards), other than that, this attack can turn out useless, that is if you use the attack and the best trainer you can get is something like a stinky Potion. BUT, build your deck right, and this could be a great match starter!

Bite Off - Ugh... Seriously... Ugh... For a Mawile, I think it rocks, but if you cannot get a energy on it This attack is useless, and even if you do get the attack to get pulled off, it's only good when you're against a Basic EX in the first round turns, and better yet, if it doesn't have a metal Resistance (rare that it will have that resistance). Other than that, this card is useless in the later game.

Last Thoughts:

This card is not the best, I mean, it's like the Plusle or the Dunsparce of bench-setting. A nice starter, but it all goes down-hill from there. Yes, some nice stuff (I -LOVE- the Mining idea!) but if you don't have much set-up trainers, this card flops. Basically this card REQUIRES that you have some kind of Basic Searcher or Evolver Trainer cards. But on the bright side of all this, it works great with FOSSIL DECKS (searching for your Fossil cards)
