Blue Poogle --
4 / 5
As far as basic Neopets go, Blue Poogle is probably
in the Top 10 available. On your turn, it has a 7 in
Intelligence and Strength, a 6 in Magic, and a 5 in
Agility. Although he becomes slightly weaker on your
opponents turn, if you need a Water or Poogle
Neopet, this probably goes in the deck first thing. |

Blue Poogle
eh? It’s a pretty nice card actually.
What you got here is a Neopet that can be placed in
any arena without pleading insanity, and that’s not
all. It can turn into the ever so popular Poogle
Racer, and since it’s a Water-type, that means he
can give you access to lots of cool cards, such as
Giant Snowball, Slorg Trails, and the soon-to-be
Mortog (coming in Battle for Meridell). Blue Poogles
are exceptionally pesky, since they can gain +1 to
all stats in contests during your turn!
But there are some weaknesses with this card too.
Poogle’s stats are very low compared to other pets,
meaning it cold get squashed by a Grarrl in the
strength arena. Because of this, it is recommended
that you evolve it ASAP.
For having nice, but low stats, an awesome card to
evolve to, and giving you a lot of very cool cards,
I’d give it a 3.5/5. It’s a very cool card, but on
it’s own it’s pretty much worthless. |

Welcome to the first Neopets
Card of the Day! We start with one of only six
rare basic Neopets, the Blue Poogle.
Blue Poogle
Neopet | Basic Poogle | Water
Strength 6 | Agility 4 | Magic 5 | Intelligence
6
This Neopet gets +1 to all stats in contests on
your turn.
31/234 Rare
This card beats Yellow Poogle
only by a stubby nose, its stat-pumping effect
being a guarantee on your turn instead of only
being useful against Fire. Blue Poogles
overall base stats are very well rounded, which
means as a Basic Neopet it will almost always be
at a disadvantage to any other well-placed Basic
Neopet, but that it can be put into any arena
and still stand some chance. Then again, most
people that play this card dont really care
that much about its stats or effect, as they
are only using it as a stepping stone to the
speedy Poogle Racer.
As far as Basic Water Neopets
go, there really isnt much of anything for high
stats, Acaras having 7s in Agility or Magic.
So, if youre looking to use Nothing Has
Happened, Copier v2.0, or Slorg Trails, Poogles
might be your way to go. However, watch for a
replacement in the upcoming expansion, as
Quiggles might turn out to be a better option.
Ratings:
In Poogle Racer deck, the
Blue Poogle comes in at a solid 4 of 5.
In any other deck, it just cant beat the
competition, and only gets a 1.7/5.

Blue Poogle
Basic Poogle – WATER
Str 6; Agi 4; Mag 5; Int 6
This Neopet gets +1 to all stats in contests on your
turn.
Not too bad. But not too good either. Basically, you
get a 7 Str or 7 Int during contests on your turn.
Again, not bad, but it goes back down to 6 in both
when it’s not your turn, which doesn’t make it
unplayable, but its not a giving you a good
advantage. It’s pretty good if you’re running a deck
where you really don’t care if your opponent win’s
his contests or not, or if you have ways to stop him
from winning contests other than beating him.
In terms of Poogles, it is definitely the best
basic, especially since its only competition is
Yellow Poogle, who has lower stats in all categories
except Int (where their tied) and gets a +2 bonus
vs. Fire rivals. It lets you also potentially get
Poogle Racer and Poogle Apprentice, who each have
their own pros and cons.
There aren’t too many cards that require a Water
Neopet, but the ones that do are generally focused
around control, from what I’ve seen. One of the
better ones (to be reviewed soon) is the Hero
“Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie” a good card
with one of the best names in the game, in my
opinion.
Personally, if I wanted to use this in a deck, I’d
probably throw is some of the stronger Acaras and
make a Water based deck, probably focusing around
Snowballs and all the associated cards, along with
some of the cards that let you mess with the
opponent, as kind of a control deck. Hmm…I should do
that. Interesting.
Rating – 3.8 out of 5
See you next week
