I'm sorry for my innacurate tip on recycle energy.  I hadn't read the
card properly when i wrote that.  As the poeple who e-mailed me, except
for one, told me repeatedly, it only works from play.  In the future, i
will be sure to check all the cards and thier text before i submit my
tip.

Next

I have a new tip, and i know it's reliable.
Situation: you have a quilava (the good one with char) as your active
and you just knocked out your opponent's active with char, and have no
damage on you whatsoever.  He brings out a mr.mime.  Now, you might just
attack with smokescreen for 20 and risk taking the 10 from mr.mime, or
you could attach a steel energy and use char.  The damage you deal is
now 20, because of steel, and if you get heads he gets a char marker.
If your opponent gets tails between turns, that's it, bye bye mimey, but
even if he survives, he can't hurt you because of the steel (you have no
damage).  He'll then either get tails between turns, and faint, or fall
to another char attack.  You can use this in any situation where you are
facing a mime, have no damage, and an attack doing 30 damage, like
Scyther.
