Okay, i am cmaster of N.Y. and i am reviewing arcanine. Arcanine, I'll tell ya is among (and maybe even) my favorite pokemon. okay 100hp second best anyone has, flamethrower for discarding 1 energy is 50 dmg (woo-hoo) and take down with 80 to the opponent, and only 30 to himself, and with 100hp that's mostly 3 for 1 and maybe an extra 50 dmg. now compare that to chansey's double edge: 80 and 80 dmg to opponent, 30 and 80 dmg to yourself (ouch for chansey), and a 20 hp difference, big deal! and after your arcanine has 10 hp from all your take downs, to can throw in a flamethrower and hopefully finish a weak pokemon off. --- *CMASTER* Free, fast e-mail accessible anytime, anywhere http://www.imaginemail.com
