Use the > "lure" to bring in a Pokemon who has no energy and require's two (2 is good) > for a retreate cost. This allows Ninetails to gain you easy prizes.

Becuse Ninetails has a retreat cost of 1, I think that Charizard > should stay on the bench, building up the energy in needs, while Ninetails > brings in the victim for Charizard to "unleash his furious wraith upon" > Thanks for your time.
