Here is the top ten best and worst and pokemon

Pokemon
Best

10 Kangashkan
Big Dawg Hi retreat and the only real attack takes 4 energies but that
attack can do upto 80 and has Fetch which rocks most of the time and with hi
Hp makes it 10

9 Himtonchan
King of Haymaker unfortunatley just like prince charles the Prince is more
important you'll see why a coupla pokemon down..  In three turns(providing
you can get the energy) you can beat down for eighty that is not very good
but it's okies with that.  The one that does forty(the name escapes me!) is
fairly pointless because it takes 3 energies which a coupla pokemon can do
sixty in that turn Scyther is one of them.

8 Arcanine
He has destroyed many of games  for me I had it down and Pop I'm gone .  He
has huge weakness with water and has a problem with energy removal decks
because he like Zapdos is an energy guzzeler

7 Zapdos
The bomb bird yes he has expensive as anything attacks but look at his
resistance to fighting why use the 100 attack (again the name escapes me) 
use the 60 attack on pokemon and you will still end up killing them in two
turns.  Attack cost and retreat cost make this pokemon a energy guzzeler at
#7

6 Electrode(basic)
He his my main man he kills himself to use buzzap but provides a freakin 2
Energy which helps the pokemon at #7 to go faster A fifty attack with three
energies hey wait a minute that's exactly what Hitmonchan does only better I
think there is draw back but I forgot what it was.  Electrode being over
looked and Buzzap killing himself puts him at #6

5 Clefable
The BOMB need I say more?
Metronome takes out all the big daddies but Machop could take it out pretty
fast.Low hp and a weak other attack just messes it up but with pretty light
retreat and resistant to Psychic is a plus
Metronome is the only thing that keeps this pokemon in the top five

4 Scyther
There is nothing to say about Scyther except that... He is close to the best
basic pokemon he can do  sixty in 3 turns(little worse then 'Monchan)  and
resistance to fighting geez it can't get better Getting better is like
adding coffee to sugar it dosn't do much But not here Scyther just got
better free retreat cost and Hi hp what some people call the 70 phenomenon I
don't see many pokemon better then that though I go through my deck faster
than a fat man at a All you can eat bar.  And I don't even play raindance.

3 Farfetch'd
This guy is sorta like Scyther but I think he's better.  Low Hp is horrible
and weak to lightnig but leek slap and pot smash just rock the house it's
like a nidoran mixed with Scyther.  Just watch this guy when gym comes out
he may get alot better.

2 Muk
The Slime Wad Da Bomb stomps raindance cold who need a bunch a crappy 'Karps
and Squirtles and Seels hangin around and abuncha useless energy.  Stops
Ditto flat and Aerodactyl his just a bunch bones hangin around.  He'll get
better soon alot better

Bon Bon Bon
Let's stop for a break want some coffee oh well umm everyone should go to 
the pojo they should buy 100% cotton pojo t-shirts and worship the almighty
pojosama

Anyway...(nothin like a little advertisement)

1 Electabuzz
DA BOMB
No more needed said oh well let's go through this 1 energy that is so sweet
for a 50% chance for Paralyzed and 10 damage and then the next turn a
possibiltiy of 40 hit that is a possible of 100 hit against water pokemon in
two turns that is too sweet.  2 retreat which is not bad basic and  the 70
hp phenomenon so sweet the Prince of Haymaker the beatdown of Raindance. 
The only downside is weakness of fighting and if you don't think anyone
plays fighting I can also bring you the real Santa if you want ;-)
  Worst Pokemon

10# charizard
It's a sad sad day for Charizard a weakness to water hah hah  his fire blast
sucks up 4 energies (of any color) makes you discard and you still wouldn't
kill a chansey or another charizard.  Hi retreat cost 3 as bad as kangashkan
.A kingler could end up killing charizard before he got his 3 energy.

9 Shellder
This little clam is sad 30 hp one of the worst in the fossil set weak to
lightning 2 hits from voltorb would fry his little butt till it's crispy
Nothing more said hah hah!

8 Tentacool
Awful they should have stopped making these while they were ahead He has no
real attacks beside supersonic and that has a fifty chance of working.  sad
sad should I start crying NO! I'm a man! Anyway Ya know in like Louisiana I
think they fry pokemon that look like tentacool I'm pretty sure

7 Horsea
Okay now I'm just taking it out on those poor water pokemon of the fossil
variety.  I think once I had one of these in a fish tank it died in a day I
think it reminded me too much of Horsea.  Smokescreen isn't a bad attack but
as i said with shellder a voltorbs got him beat in two turns.

6 Slowpoke
No offensive attacks sure he's offensive but we all  know that.  50 hp isn't
bad atall but most Psychic pokemon can kill it in 2 turns or mabe less.  He
looks gay and his evoved form has strange behavior and he's sucking on a
shell You wonder!

5 Meowth
The only thing that does any good is his power to draw a card but it costs 2
energy and you have fifty percent chance plus it still does only ten damage.
  The only reason anyone plays him is the freaks watch  Pokemon toooooo
much.

4 Kabuto
The only thing that saves him is hes weak Kabuto Armor but still which all
you need is one hit from raichu and he's dead..  Scratch is the weakest
attack I've seen yet besides number 3 . Weak to grass is sad but has a nice
retreat cost of 1 which saves his sorry hide but the only reason is not
lower is because of his bigger brother Kabutops.

3 Mankey
He is close the sorriest pokemon 'cept the next two.  His poke power is
pointless and for a freakin one energy does 10.  Even rattata is better.  30
hp horrible and no resistance only good thing: no retreat cost.  He would be
better without his temper and low Hp.  Next time WotC makes cards they
should skip mankey and go straight to Primape.

2 Magikarp
We all know what this stands for the saddest pokemon is the world he can't
even swim and his attacks can do upto 30 and 10 but two hits from Voltorb
equals fishy go down the drain.  The only thing good and the only thing
saves it from the worst is Garadose(spelling).  On the next card they make
of him turn the name to MAGIKRAP

1 Gastly
We all know this guy the F@#@% that can't save his own @$$ if he tried Oh my
gosh he can kill Charizard with destiny bond which is a waste of energy and
time but while you are wasting energy they could switch to a rattata and
kill you and himself.  He dosn't have any attacks.  Sleeping gas(I think)
has a 50% chance of working and it's not even close to hard to stop being
asleep in fact gastly should be put to sleep permanently.
