There are many cards in the Pokemon TCG that are
overlooked.  For instance, I have looked through
every killer deck, and (correct me if I'm wrong) none
of them have a porygon in them.  Porygon is a
valuable card when you look at him closly.  I
consider porygon more of a trainer card than a
pokemon because it changes weaknesses, and that is
basically all.  Here is one example of when a porygon
is a big help in a game:
       Alakazam is killing your guys and using damage
trans to some chnseys on the bench.  It will be
awhile before you can kill him by battering him down.
 You have a hitmonchan, but it can only do 40 damage.
 No problem though, just bring out a porygon, change
alakazam's weakness to fighting, and kill him in one
hit.  Porygon will probably die, but it worls out
better in the long run.


There are other overlooked cards in the pokemon game
too.  People see the little circle in the bottom
right corner and think, "Pff, stupid common card,
it's worthless."  The reason that they aer common is
because you need a lot of them :).  Gust of Wind is
very important when your opponent is powering up a
highly evolved pokemon on the bench.  Just bring out
the big guy before he has all his energy, and he is
done for.  Switch is very valuable when you need to
get a pokemon with a weakness to your enemy out of
the battle fast.  Even some cards like plus power are
not used often, but when you need to kill something
fast, then you should have one ready to go.  Take my
advice and put some more common trainers and pokemon
into your deck, they can really save you in a pinch.
