Hi to all those Pokemaniacs out there! It me Prof. Jb
Wolf. I'm going to
list the top 5 Pokemon of each type.
Fire:
1. Charizard: All of you reading this are thinking, whats
this piece of
crap doing here. Well, if you think about it, most Fire Pokemon have to
discard Fire Energy to do their strongest attack, and 120 HP and resistance
to Fighting is good.
2. Ninetales: 80HP, Lure can get out those weak Pokemon, and
Fire Blast
will blast it out of the building
3. Fossil Magmar: 70HP, Smokescreen can maybe keep the
opponent from
killing you, Smog's 20 damage+Poison is great, Basic, and its Uncommon! Give
me four of these please!!
4. Arcanine: 100HP, Flamethrower, and Take Down were made for
this
Pokemon!!
5. Moltres: Decks are based around its Wildfire Attack and
Dive Bomb
isn't so bad.
Honorable Mention: Charmeleon, Base Magmar, Ponyta, and
Rapidash
Grass:
1. Scyther: 70HP, Basic, No retreat cost, resistance to
Fighting, and a
pretty good attack. Whats not to like???
2. Venusaur: Poke Power isn't bad, neither is 100HP, and 60
damage with
no draw back is great!!
3. Pinsir: Irongrip does 20 damage+Paralysis and Guillotine
is great
against most Basic evolving Pokemon. Drawback s is its weakness to Fire and
60HP! A Charmander's Ember could do him in!
4. Nidoking: Now who could forget this Pokemon! Poison does
20 instead of
10 and Thrash isn't so bad.
5. Muk: The KO'er of Raindance, Stall, Mime, Energy Trans,
Energy Burn,
and the list goes on. Sludge isn't so bad either.
Honorable Mention: Vileplume, Ivysaur, Beedrill, Butterfree,
Golbat,
Grimer, Venomoth, Koffing, Weezing, Exgeguttor and Nidorino.
Electric:
1. Electabuzz: The King of Electric Pokemon!
2. Base Electrode: Buzzaps one of the greatest Pokemon Powers
and
Electric Shock isn't so bad.
3. Base Raichu: Agility makes it near invincible and Thunder
is pretty
good. 80HP isn't bad either.
4. Fossil Raichu: Gigashock is a great Bench KO'er.
5. Base Zapdos: Mainly use it for Thunder and I only use
Thunderbolt when
its gonna die next turn.
Honorable Mention: Jungle and Pokemon League Promo Pikachu,
Jungle
Electrode, and Fossil Zapdos.
Water:
1. Blastoise: The Lord of the Raindance (Its a pun.)
2. Articuno: 70HP, Freeze Dry's 30+Paralysis, Blizzard's
50+Bench Damage,
no weakness, and resistance to Fighting makes this Basic Pokemon a must in
all Water Decks.
3. Lapras: 80HP, Water Gun, and Confuse Ray make this Pokemon
a stable
Basic Water Pokemon and Ultimate Mime KO'er.
4.Gyrados: 100HP, Dragon Rage's 50 damage, and
BubbleBeam's 40+Paralysis
make this Pokemon a great card. Only Drawback is it evolves from
Magikrap....I mean Magikarp.
5. Dewgong: 80HP, Aurora Beam, and Ice Beam make this Pokemon
a
mini-Gyarados. Seel is a great starter too!
Honorable Mention: Squirtle, Wartortle, Krabby, Kingler,
Psyduck,
Golduck, and Omanyte.
Fighting:
1. Hitmonchan: Still the King of Fighting Pokemon!
2. Hitmonlee: Hitmonchan's Stronger Attacks, lower HP
brother.
3. Machamp: It can get around most Fight Resistant Pokemon
with Seismic
Toss and Strikes Back isn't so bad either.
4. Aerodactyl: Prehistoric Power keeps off Raindance and
Evolution decks.
5. Onix: The third Poor Man's Chansey. Harden and weakness to
Grass is
somewhat good.
Honorable Mention: Kabutops, Machop, Marowak, Diglett, and
Dugtrio.
Psychic:
1. MP Mewtwo: Named One of the Most Broken Pokemon Cards in
America.
2. Gengar: Curse and Dark Mind were meant for each other, and
the one
retreat cost can get him back to the Bench for heavy damage dealing and
healing.
3. Alakazarm: The Main Part of the almighty Stall Deck!
4. Mr. Mime: The King of Heay Hitting Stall
5. Kadabra: Super Psy is a great attack. Three retreat cost
is bad
though, guess thats why he has Recover.
Honorable Mention: Fossil Gastly & Haunter, Base Mewtwo,
Jynx, Slowpoke,
and Slowbro
Colorless:
1. Wigglytuff: Fill your Bench and Wave the Opponent GOOD
BYE!!
2. Chansey: The Ultimate Staller! ONe retreat cost is great
for healing.
3. Lickitung: The Poor Man's Chasey!!
4. Kangaskhan: The Second Poor Man's Chansey, and Fetch
make this a
great Pokemon Card.
5. Farfetch'd: The Scyther before Scyther.
Honorable Mention: Jigglypuff, Snorlax, and Eevee
I'm going to list the Trainers in the Top 10
Trainer:
10. Lass: Raindance and Stall usually fall to this Trainer
since they
rely on Trainers.
9. Scoop Up/ Mr. Fuji: Scoop Up gets the Active away from the
battle zone
and Mr. Fuji gets your damaed Bench Pokemon back in the deck.
8. PokeDex: Plan the future to your deck.
7. Pokemon Center: Energy Trans and other Healing Grass Decks
need this
card.
6. Defender: Makes Mr. Mime Invincible for four turns!!
5. Pokemon Breeder: Evoulution and Raindance Decks have four
of these.
4. Comp. Search: Need that PlusPower or Pokemon Breeder? Use
this Trainer
to get it.
3. Item Finder: You need one more Prize, and the current
Active Pokemon
has tons of HP, and on the Opponent's Bench is a weak Pokemon that you could
KO in one hit, and you have already used up all the GoWs you have? Use this
Trainer to get it back and win the game!!
2. ER & SER: These guys set your Opponent's plan one or
two turns behind.
1. Bill & Prof. Oak: Two Words: Card Advatage.
Thats my What's on Top?! Send any complaints on any of them,
except
Charizard because I know all of you are going to say "What are you an
IDIOT!!" or "You are the most idiotic man in the WORLD!!". So,
don't!
