About Charizard, I am getting sick of all the people who hate Charizard. Charizard can be used in ANY deck! Charmanders scratch takes one colorless, Charmeleons slash takes 3 colorless, and Charizards fire spin takes 4 fire energies but his Pokemon Power makes any kind of energy attached to him fire. I too hate the fact he discards 2 energy, but cant we just play with a lot of fire energy? Like a fire colorless deck! Distract people with first Charmander or Farfetch'd, then Magmar followed up by a big gun basic Pokemon such as Chansey. In the mean time evolve Charmander all the way up to Charizard and when ever you can attach a energy to Charizard whenever you can.When you have 8 energy cards on Charizard which should not be to early in the game it. It is now time to kick ass! Use fire spin Pokemon dead, next turn attach 1 energy to Charizard fire spin again Pokemon dead, next turn attach 1 energy you have 4 energy cards on him use a fire spin a last time Pokemon dead! Next turn if Charizard is still alive which usually with all the HP he has there is a 70% chance he is still alive attach 1 energy and retreat. If done right you will take out 3 pokemon or at least 3 for 1! Bill helps a lot in a deck like this! I posted this because this is the deck I use often now. I am 7-1 with this deck! It is the best deck I ever made! I call this deck the waterashers. It makes people think I have water and fire Pokemon and it prooves the point that Charizard can take out any water Pokemon! P.S- I love my Hitmonchan!
