Well you do have a point, however I would not go as far to say they are the best. When you compare Blastoise to Venasaur look at one thing, that they both only move their type of energy. It puts limitations on them. Which one is better? Noone can answer that. Blastoise can only be used in one kind of deck. Since you like him we know you play Raindance. They are good decks but I have never been beaten by a Raindance. Check out my deck in Chipmunks Chatter, it is called the "Everlasting Stall".Alakazam and Mr. Mime can take care of both of them though. People say that Raindance is the best deck but if you KO Blastoise it falls apart fast. I guess the same could be said about all decks though. David Buchanan DavidB3434@aol.com Rai_Stipler@hotmail.com
