Ok... let me start out by saying Charizard sucks...
Let's look at the stats...


Name: Charizard
Type: Fire
HP: 120
Evo. Stage: 2
Weakness: Water
Resistance: Fighting
Retreat: CCC


Attacks:
Pokemon Power: Energy Burn
As often as you like during your turn (before your
attack), You may turn all energy attached to Charizard
into fire energy fo the rest of the turn. This power
can't be used if Charizard is Asleep, Confused or
parilyzed.


Fire Spin: RRRR  Damage: 120
Discard two energy cards attached to Charizard in
order to use this attack.



Expensive, hard to get out, burns energy like Saddam
does to natural gas refineries, and is slower than
s**t through a funnel.


now let's look at a better card.


Name: Ninetales
Type: Fire
HP: 80
Evo. Stage: 1
Weakness: Water
Resistance: None
Retreat: C


Attacks:
Lure: CC  Damage: 0
If your opponent has any benched Pokémon, Choose one
of them and switch it with his or her active Pokémon.


Fire Blast: RR  Damage: 80
Discard one R energy card attached to Ninetales in
order to use this attack.


Ok...
let's compare:


HP: Charizard: 120, Ninetales: 80
Average Cost of attacks: Charizard: 4, Ninetales: 3
Retreat Cost: Charizard: 3, Ninetales: 1
Damage of best attack: Charizard: 100, Ninetales: 80
Turns away form basic: Charizard: 2, Ninetales: 1


Charizard vs Ninetales:
HP: Charizard 40 HP higher- Charizard wins
Average Cost: 1 Energy lower- Ninetales Wins
Retreat Cost: 2 energy lower- Ninetales wins.
Damage of best attack: 20 damage higher- Charizard
wins
Turns away from Basic: 1 turn faster- Ninetales wins



final score:
Charizard: 2  Ninetales: 3


the damage area: can we say +power?
HP: defender


therefore Ninetales is the better card at more than
half the price
