I just wanted to give my opinion on Charizard and let people know the better
options with Fire pokemon.I personally don't like Charizard.I have 2 reasons
why.ONE:He takes way to long to build up and now with the new Fossil cards
they give you better options with fire pokemon(Moltres and new Magmar)and the
Aerodactyl is just one extra abstocle to build Charizard up.By the time you
finally get him up your already half dead.Trust me I had 2 in a deck before
even with double colorless and 2 Venusaurs its just a hassle.TWO:The stupid
thing takes up to much card space in your deck leaving you with not many
options in variety of pokemon.

Now I know some people don't like Fire pokemon because most of them cost alot
of energy to pull off moves.But if you put 2 to 4 Energy Retrievals and the
help of the new Energy Search they really help out.Now personally I don't
like to bring out my Fire pokemon first I would use the other type first to
give time for you to stoke you Fire pokemon.Personally I like electrics
Raichu and promo Pikachu becuase their stall moves.My favorite fire pokemon
are listed below.


Ninetales:80hp
Lure:This move is a great defensive move and helps replace gust of
windsEnergy:CC
Fire Blast:Can take a while to build but once stoked with about 6 energy can
take out anyone in 2 turns applying a whopping 80 damage.Energy:FFFF and
discard 1 F after
Moltres:70hp
Wildfire:This move I like because it doesn't limit Moltres to just an attack
pokemon a great stall move.Enegy:F
Dive Bomb:This move is nice but it all relys on a flip of a coin.But still
can be move that gets you out of tight situations by delivering 80
damage.EnergyFFFF
Fossil Magmar:70hp
Smokescreen:A nice move when ever you are in a bind though weak attack 10
damage.Energy:F
Smog:I like this move alot it gives a extra stradegy against my opponent by
the flip of a coin you can poison you opponent plus it already does 20
damage.Energy:FF

All of these are in my deck plus other powerful electric pokemon I hope to
test it in a tournament someday.Pojo if you know any places in Louisiana that
has tournaments let me know.But if anyone agrees or disagrees with please I
waan know your opinion.
