Hello Pojo,readers, trainers, and critics,
Most people see Pikachu a cute , but weak pokemon.
WRONG!
Oh no no no NO! I use Pikachu too often to hate
him!
Wanna know why? ok lets look at all 4 Pikachu
cards.
(Base set rep:)Pikachu HP:40
(C) Gnaw 10
(E)(C) Thunder jolt 30
flip coin, if heads 10 damage to pikachu
Weak
Retreat
(F)
(C)
Ug, its OK in my opinon ( as a basic foothole in
an Elec deck)
but hitmonchan can wipe him out! NEXT!
(Jungle rep:) Pikachu HP:50
(E)(E) Spark 20
pick bench pokemon and do 10 damage
(weakness and retreat same for all pikachus)
Hmmmm, Interesting but speed is nessicary for
pikachu. works well with bench
destruction and 10 more HP is a welcome sight.
(Ivy Promo rep:)Pikachu HP:60 (wow!)
(C) growl
enemy does 10 less damage
(E)(E) Thunder shock 20
if heads paralize
Ahhh! much better! 60 HP? BIG
improvement but growl is a STUPID attack (but can hold off any thing that
does 10 damage)
This is the only pikachu so far that can paralize.
(Movie promo rep:) Pikachu
HP:50
(E) Recharge
Search deck for (E) energy and attach it to
pikachu
(E)(E) Thunderbolt
50
(E) (disacard
all energy on pikachu)
HOLY _____ ! Wow! Not only is 50 hp very good but
a 50 damage attack
can knock out ALOT of pokemon on the 2nd turn.
combine with energy retreval
to keep you from going into an energy crisis.
Now how weak is pikachu ? If you still aren't
satisfied, take this into mind:
THEY CAN ALL EVOLVE INTO RAICHU!
But im not gonna get into that.
Jerokichu
