I keep hearing, Chansey sucks because his attack does damage to itself. Well,
the people who write this crap are not very smart. Because a pokemon has a
certain attack, you don't necessarily have to use it. For example, I agree that
Double Edge sucks, but if you don't like it, don't use it. Just because one of
its attacks suck, doesn't mean the whole card does. I use Chansey, but I have
never ever used any of its attacks. How do I use it? I leave him out to take
damage, as I build up another pokemon. When Chansey is almost dead, I use scoop
up and bring out another Chansey. I also damage swap all of the damage and use
pokemon center. See? Never put energy on Chansey. It is only good for its HP.
Other pokemon suffer from the same criticism. Charizard sucks because it
discards 2 energy, and Zapdos discards four so Zapdos is even worse, right?
Wrong, Fire Spin is Charizards only attack, so he sucks. Zapdos, however has
another attack which is pretty good. Only use the 100 when Zapdos is almost
dead, and will lose the energy anyway. See? Just because one of his attacks
apper useless, this does not mean the whole card sucks. Think about that before
you post an article and look stupid doing so.
