Pojo,
This is a tribute to some of the unmentioned - but much needed in almost any
deck -  cards, the stallers.
Everyone looks at big powerful stage two cards like Charizard and says "Ooh,
big powerful dragon, cool."  Then they see a card like Chansey and say "Ooh,
big pink poofball, kills himself most of the time, dumb."  Hello, Chansey is
not meant to kill off other cards, he "merely" stalls while you build up to
cards like Charizard.  In this article I won't be comparing Chansey to
Charizard, if you look around on the pojo you'll find about 50 articles
about them.  The point is stalling cards like Chansey allow you the time to
build up to more powerful cards.  This will be an overview of some of the
best stalling cards:

Chansey - 120 HP, for two colorless energy can prevent all effects of
attacks half of the time, and can take out anyone 80 or under with double
edge.

Mr. Mime - Power: If opponent's attack does 30 or more damage, prevent that
damage.

Mewtwo - For two psychic energy (discard one) prevent all effects of attack
on Mewtwo.

Onix - 90 HP, for two fighting energy prevent all attacks 30 or under.

Lickitung - 90 HP, for one energy possible paralysis, for two possible
confusion.

Thanx,
Greg
