Dear Pojo,

I'm writing this in response to a strategy posted in the January
13th posting titled Dark Armor, etc.  There was a strategy involving using
Lanturn from Neo as an alternative to a Pokemon with Water Gun, since
Lanturn's Hydroelectric Power Pokemon Power doesn't set a limit on the
number of Water Energies that can provide extra Energy.  The only problem
is that Blastoise's Rain Dance power only allows Water Energy to be
attached to WATER pokemon and Lanturn is Electric-typed.  So, you can't
just Rain Dance away and be able to do 100 or more damage in just a couple
of turns.  It's a nice idea, but that strategy would be almost totally
unbeatable.  There's really no easy way to get around Water Gun's limit.
