Hey PoJo!  Love the site.  Well, anyway, I've been wanting to post this
article for 2 months!  And what I'm trying to say is goldeen and seaking
are used for quick attacks.  Think about it, goldeen does 10 for just
one water energy.  Okay, so maybe its attack DOES suck, but it has a
0-retreat cost, so you can stall the time with goldeen and send out
another, better water poke'mon.  Seaking is another story.  1-retreat
cost and 70-hp for a stage 1 isn't bad.  And, it only does 30, FOR 1
WATER AND 1 COLORLESS ENERGY! Now, this is a speedy attack!  It takes
poliwrath another water energy to acomplish this, and all of the other
water gun poke'mon.  Sure, Blastoise knows rain dance, but what if Aero
or Muk is out when it is a puny squirtile?  The chances of winning are
slim.  And, if seaking is energy removaled, it still knows its 10
attack!  Usually, if you are energy removaled, you are screwed.  Even if
it is super energy removaled, it still takes only 1 water energy to get
back on its feet.  Thanks for hearing me out!  Please post this.
