Hey everyone this is my first edition of best cards and ill be reviewing base set. I hope you agree with me its 15since base set is awesome I will not give a card a lower rating because of anythibg outside of its text. For example wiggly wont get a lower rating because sprout tower, Sneasel wont because of ER and meganium wont for being a stage 2. You get the picture.
 
Top 15
 
15. Poliwrath - 40 damage and removal is great! triple retreat and stage two with 90 HP isnt.
 
14.  Nidoking - 20 POISON DAMAGE!? too bad its a stage two with 90 HP.
 
13. Mewtwo - Unlimited damage! Psychics good but 60 HP plus triplre retreat is just sad.
 
12. Ninetales great attacks retreat hp, but discarding can hurt even if its one.

10. Dragonair - no weakness and removal is nice.
 
9. Jynx - 70 HP basic w/ good retreat and brutal 2nd attack.
