Dear Pojo,

Please post this duo up as they make a really excellent combo!

For anyone who has faced an Aerodactyl and couldn't stop the haymaker
deck for lack of evolving... well I have a duo for you!  Gengar and Mew!

That evil Aerodactyl is hiding on the bench right?  You have no way of
getting to it because you either don't have any gust of winds in your
deck:(   or you have used them all up and don't have any to combat that
notorius pokemon power.  Here's how these guys can help.

It's quite simple... the objective is to get Gengar evolved before your
opponent can play his aerodactyl.  This might require using pokemon
breeder, computer search or pokemon trader in your deck!  I personally
use all three.  Once you have Gengar out and there is damage to be moved
by his pokemon power, then you don't really even need mew out there...
just curse his mysterious fossil cards and he will never get Aerodactyl
out!

BUT!  If you just get Gengar out before he evolves into Aerodactyl, but
find no damage to move, or he puts down two or more fossils down on his
bench and even gengar can't kill them off in time before he evolves...
then you have a problem (especially if he also has SER, which most
Aerodecks have) in that you can't even attack with gengar.  Now wait a
minute... here's a good use for that new mew card that came out on Jan
8th.  You then either have mew already in play or you hopefully search
for him.  Get him out and powered up with at least two Psychic energy
and then send him out.   Curse with Gengar to put one damage counter on
aerodactyl (the coward on the bench) and then de-evolution beam his butt
thus sending him back into your opponent's hand... but WAIT! he had 1
damage counter on him from gengar... meaning that his fossil card just
got killed and now no more Problems!!  Bring on that Alakazam or other
evolution cards you have been saving in your hand (like that fossil
haunter you finally picked up but couldn't use) and start the counter
strike!

If you don't get Gengar out before Aerodactyl.. then simply use a gastly
or fossil hauter with mew.  You do the gaurenteed 10 damage, then hit
him with mew!

Gengar + Mew are the Perfect Aerodactyl killers out there.
