Charizard and I have a new card combo and another article for your reading enjoyment today. The combo is Jungle Tauros and Metal Energy. I'm sure everyone knows that with his second attack, rampage, you can do tons of damage, but risk Tauros becoming confused and killing itself. with a Metal Energy attached, you do 10 less damage but prevent the possibility of doing the 20 to yourself from cofusion. (Note: I THINK that is how it would work. I'm not ABSOLUTELY sure Metal prevents confusion damage. If I'm wrong, please let me know) Charizard: You know, Unown N might work for that purpose too. Sparkey: Yeah, but Unowns are gust bait. Can you say, "Easy KO"? Charizard: I can, but I'm not going to. Sparkey: I know Metal Chansey decks use Unown N, but I don't like playing those decks. I don't think it's a great idea to have something so vulnerable on bench. Sure Magikarps and Weedles are vulnerable, but they evolve and aren't so weak anymore. I mean, who in the right mind would gust out a fully powered Gyarados or Neo 2 Kakuna unless they could kill it in one hit? Unown however, is always the same boring 40 HP peice of crap. sure their pokemon powers are good, but what if it's your only basic at the start of the game? Charizard: You'd be toast unless you got something else in a turn or two. Sparkey: Time for the Random Thought. SPARKEY'S RANDOM THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Need.... cheese.... Must... have... CHEESE! ~Sparkey and Charizard Sparkey450@aol.com
