Some kid came in here claiming that Charizaard was the best card. Man he is misinformed. His name was Michael and he claimed fire was the best type. Man how misinformed can you get? OK, here are the best types in ym opinion: 1:Grass,Water,Psychic,Fighting, Electric, Colorless. 7: Fire Why? Well lets see, all tourny winning decks have the type of stage 1 pokemon that kicks ass. Lets start from the top: Grass: Scyther and Pinsir. These two kick ass. While kicking ass with Scyther, bring out a fully pumped Pinsir and do Guillotine. End of story. Water: No basics, but Rain Dance, need I say more? Psychic: Mr.mime and his awesome Power. Fire cant touch him. Fighting: Himtonchan, Dugtrio, Machamp, all do devestating attacks. The onyl exception is that Charizard has resistance to fighting. But that is if Charizard gets a chance to evolve! Electric: Electabuzz, Electabuzz, ELECTABUZZ!!! For only 2 frickin energy does 40 damage. Charizard would die within seconds. Colroless: Too many to name, Chansey....Kangaskhan....Tauros....and even Farfetch'd! Now lets look at fires only bets. Fire: Nintales, 80 HP, two Special Punches or Thunderpunches and ninetales is deadtales. Arcanine. 80 but 30 to himself. He'll wind up killing hiself one way or another. Magmar. Dont even go there...Charizard? Hmmm, thats even if, and I mean IF he gets a chance to evolve. He wont. Lets see the trainers that work against fire: Gust of Wind ER, SER Defender Pluspower It doesnt matter but every tourny winning deck has ER and Super ER and without enough energy, you cant win. I know you can do this to many other decks but Grass, Fighting, Electric and Water which I think are the most popular dont gobble up that much energy. Lets face it people, Fire is hopeless. Even the new Magmar and Moltres wont save it from its demise.... Beg to differ? Which I doubt you will.... Juan Ayala ChevyCorvette007@aol.com PLEASE POST THIS!!!!!
