Pojo, please post this.

As I was playing with my grass/fighting deck, I began to wonder, which is 
better, Venomoth or Koffing?

Koffing

Pluses:Basic
           Sure status change
           Common


Minuses:Higher retreat cost
             No resistance
             Less HP

Venomoth

Pluses:More HP
           Free retreat
           Resistance
           Kooky Pokemon Power that allows you to do 20
           
Minuses:Stage 1
             Rare, Rare/Holo
             Only 50% chance of any status change at all

Koffing is better because it give you a sure status change and most phy 
pokemon in the early game can't do squat in terms of hurting him. However, 
Venomoth gives you more bang for your buck and if you're playing with one of 
those seemingly rigged coins you get in theme decks you won't have a problem 
with coin flips.
