My favourite underrated cards

In this list are ten cards I think that have been overlooked by everyone 
(except me, of course!) Here goes:

10. Dark Dragonair

If you play Evolutions, you MUST play this card. To be able to find any 
Evoltion card you need during your turn is like drawing an extra card per 
turn. A must in Evolution-heavy decks.

9. Dark Dragonite

Combos well with Dark Dragonair. Get the Evolutions, then get the Basics 
they need. The attack is a bit risky, but that is not the job of this 
Pokémon.

8. Omastar (Neo Discovery)

This is incredible! Not only is it good in a Fossil deck, it's good in any 
Fighting or Water deck. Squeeze is great for the cost, and Spike Barrage can 
get silly. Run it with Kabutops for maximum effect...

7. Trash Exchange

More people should play this. If you can't run more than two of a certain 
card in your deck, when you've used them both, use this to get them shuffled 
back into the deck. True, you could lose some valuable cards in the process, 
but you've got to take a risk sometimes, haven't you?

6. Fervor

No-one seems to realise quite how deadly this is with Feraligatr (Lv. 69). 
If you discard three Energy cards using it, that's already 40 damage. And if 
you combine that with Feraligatr's Power, you've got a killer combo on your 
hands. Solid.

5. Koga's Ditto

Even with Gust of Wind about, this card is still worth playing. Yes, Giant 
Growth might well require a coin flip, but it's worth it regardless. The 
chance to have 80 HP and a reliable 30-for-1 attack spells the end for 
opponents on turn two.

4. Blaine's Ninetales

I think this is pretty good. The Power is excellent - removing 1 damage 
counter every time you attach an Energy is almost too good to be true. It 
more than makes up for its lowly 60 HP, and the attack - a 50-for-2 might 
lose you your Energy, but it's worth attaching more to heal it! Should 
certainly get more play than it's currently getting.

3. Brock's Diglett

The perfect card to combo with Transparent Walls, this Diglett KO's 
Wigglytuff on turn two, with a REALLY solid 40-for-2 attack. Yes, it damages 
your Bench, but, like I said, you should play it with Transparent Walls, 
shouldn't you?

2. Sabrina's Gengar (Gym Heroes)

There's a bit of a Gym theme to this, isn't there? Combos well with its 
Fossil brother. Pain Amplifier puts a damage counter on all of your 
opponent's Pokémon with damage counters on it. If you use Curse before hand. 
though, it becomes even more deadly. Call of the Night is good if you need 
to shuffle a Colorless Pokémon back into your opponent's deck.

And finally...

1. Dark Hypno

This is my favourite overlooked card. No-one seems to realise what this can 
do against a Wigglytuff deck. Your opponent flips a coin for each of his or 
her Benched Pokémon, and does 20 damage times the number of tails, for three 
Energy. What makes this card so good, though? You don't have to apply 
Weakness and Resistance! This makes it almost as good as Dark Alakazam! The 
only problem is the 60 HP, but with an attack as deadly as Bench 
Manipulation, nothing else matters! Please try it - it is better than you 
think!

I'll be back with another combo soon! (Hopefully)

Bye and Enjoy!
