Hey there, fellow Pojo readers! I have, as have many others, been waiting
for Rocket Zapdos from Gym 2 to come out, but I still could not shake the
feeling that I was getting somewhat ripped off by Zapdos being able to kill
almost every playable basic but killing himself at the same time. So, I
looked long and hard through Edo's spoilers (thanks, Edo!) until I found a
card that could counter Zapdos's kamikaze attack. That's when I read about
Golden Nut from Neo 1. For those of you not familiar with this card, here it
is, courtesy of Edo as I said earlier.

    this Pokemon for each L Energy card attached to this Pokemon.

  a Pokemon Item already attached to it.  If this Pokemon is
  Knocked Out, discard this card.
  At the end of any turn, if this Pokemon has 4 or more damage
  counters on it, discard this card and remove 4 of them.
No number (Uncommon)
PICTURE: A golden nut

Well, as you can see, perfect combo. Just don't use it against me.
