Hello to all the pokemon collectors out there! I just wanted to say that a lot of people use Chansey And mewtwo as a quote unquote WALL. Well, if u just bought a starter deck, USE ONIX! My cousin has used onix in the first round on me, ALWAYS stalling me at least 5 rounds. His harden wont let u hit him with 30 or less damage. I know what many of you will say... USE MEWTWO! USE CHANSEY WITH THE DOUBLE EDGE! first of all, mewtwo needs to be charged, and it wont kill onix with one hit. Playing chansey against onix is BAD. U use double edge and both gets hit 80 without any pokemon dieing. Use double edge again and there goes ur chansey. A rare, supposedly the best pokemon, cant even go against a sorry punk like onix:P Hey, IM NEW! i cant even use my friggin onix cause i dont have fighting energy! I started collecting for about 4 days and u guys must be experts on this. U SHOULD KNOW that chansey is not the best card! i mean onix is known to be SUPER common, and SUPER lame with his 10 hit attack. And it still kicks Chansey's rear END!:P Also, many people use pikachu and raichu...why? BECAUSE THEY ARE SOOOO CUTE! but the sorry thing about em is that they have a chance of hitting themselves. DO NOT RELY ON THEM! however, that doesnt mean dont use em. Use them as a last hit or a kill for a charizard or something. U see, raichu can deal the damage if it is a last kill unless ur gonna kill urself in the process. Another thing is how people say poliwags evolving stages suck. THEY DO NOT SUCK!! Poliwrath is super deadly with his whirlpool! Taking energy away from ur opponent rocks. AND IT CAN KICK MEWTWOS BUTT! it can deal 60 damage if you have enough water energy I cant say anything about alakazam because i have never seen it and the pokedex on the pojo came out a bit small and i couldnt read its attacks and pokemon power. And magneton is A KILLER POKEMON!!!!! STAGE ONE BABY! It can kill the active pokemon with an 80 attack and for those who use doduo, The magneton can wipe them out on the bench with any other basics that u have retreated. My cousin kills me like that everytime, taking 3 prizes for 1. Electabuzz is super, cheap attack cost and decent attack power. Haunter is kinda sucky! the dream catcher can only be used when the opponent is ASLEEP! Although hypnosis MAKES the other pokemon asleep, the opponent still has 2 chances to wake up, making it kind of hard to fight at all with the haunter, and it makes haunter vulnerable when the first coin flip wakes the pokemon up. This can be trouble, especially if it is a strong pokemon. For all u grass players, bulbasuar works beautifully. especially against dratini and all those suckers that hit 10. Abra is an exepsion because it can paralyze as well. bulbasuars seed attack heals itself as it attacks 20! thats a good pokemon to start off with. Whip a rattata and still live. Playing against my cousin proved this to be true. If you go first and ur opponent has 2 rattatas. you can kill one and leave the other one with 10 dammage left. If you are carrying a potion you will have no trouble killing the first few pokemon. Raticate is pretty cool as well as farfetch'd which some of the people on the pojo has already stated. A COLORELESS pokemon that deals 30 damage is VERY VERY VERY VERY useful. Raticate can deal 60 damage to charizard with its hyper fang. Charizard kills raticate and all you do is bring a water pokemon that can hit thirty, which isnt that hard since it took the opponent a lot of time to charge and evolve charizard. Thanks for listening everyone and if you want, email me at TonyTC@hotmail.com P.S. I still cant believe that ppl overlooked Onix over Chansey. EMAIL ME because i BARELY have any! i only have my cousin's( and some ppl who want to trade cards with me ) email in my inbox. C YA PPL! Tony T. Chau
