Ah, another card strategy that I need to respond to.  First of all,
haymaker is good, but now it is not the best.  It has bowed to Steelix
and Slowking.  As for Blastoise-  He is not very good anymore.  With
Slowking to stop the Breeder, and Steelix with lots of metal to really
harm Hydro Pump, and Rocket's Zapdos to capitalize on lightening
weakness, Blastoise is pretty much dead.  Now for Muk.  It is claimed
that Muk is labeled as weak.  He is not.  Far from it.  He is seen as
really good.  But, when you get to Iggly, you say he is weak.  This is
dead wrong.  Igglybuff is awesome.  Slap him down, and it stops
Slowking's power.  With Muk, you have to evolve, and they will get you
pretty much locked down with Slowking before muk appears.  even if you
get Muk, your best Sneasel defense is gone, Ditto.  Also, they can gust
up Muk, and kill it much more easily than they can Igglybuff.  Muk is
good, but Igglybuff is better.  Now, to Mr. Mime.  This thing is not very
good right now.  When your opponent sees you play it, they give you a
wierd look, and just wait to flip one heads with Fury Swipes (if they
have a dark, two if they don't)  while you just sit there meditating for
nothing because of Sneasel's resistance.  Or worse, much worse, they Mean
Look the Mr. Mime.  They can then feint attack every turn, and soon turn
your bench into a vast heap of nothingness.  Against Steelix, they put
one Metal on, and you can't damage them.  They then proceed to tackle you
twice and kill you.  Against Wigglytuff (which isn't really played
anymore but I mention it because I like it)  they lullaby you until you
stay asleep, and then kill you with Do the wave.  Or, they just kill you
with Jiggly.  Whichever they happen to prefer.  Then you mention Wooper
as a Rocket's Zapdos killer.  They electroburn with a metal twice, you're
dead.  Or, they just bring up Scyther and kill you in one hit.  either
way, the wooper is rebelling and trying to kill you for being such an
idiot.  Anyway, see all of you later.
