First of all how could anyone how could anyone think Machop is better 
than Hitmonchan!  They are both basic pokemon, they both deal 20 damage with 
one hit,  They both have the same weakness and retreat cost, the only plus 
side of Machop is his retreat cost is one and Hitmonchans is 2.  But 
Hitmonchan has 70 HP and is a holo card which people get more nervours 
around!  Also Hitmonchan is rare which also makes him seem more 
impressive.Also Hitmonchan has the option of dealing 40 damage if he wanted 
to.Most people think Hitmonchan is better but why does anyone think Machop is 
better?
	Hitmonchan is so great.  The problem is lots of people have 
resistance to him ,but almost all electric and and colorless pokemon have 
weakness to him.  Think of all the great Pokemon that have weakness to him!  
Chansey, Raichu, Magneton, Clefairy, Electrode, Electrabuzz, and many other 
Pokemon that are not as great such as Magmenite, Voltorb, etc.Hitmonchan is 
even great with one energy doing 20 damage with Jab and with 3 energy cards 
it does Speacial Punch which does 40 damage!  he is very good for people who 
are low on energy and don't forget he is basic!  If I had a fighting deck I 
would put as many Hitmonchans  as I can.  But I manage to do well with a fire 
colorless deck.  Well so long!
