What's up everybody, Sean here, once again. As usual I'm really bored, so I decided I was gonna write up this top 10 list. I think some of the other top 10's are good, but others not so good, so I'm here to do them justice. Anyway, here's the list

Basic Pokemon:
10. Hitmonlee- Bench destroyer. 3 for 50 is awsome-just watch his 60 HP
9.Kangaskhan- Awsome starter. He's got the HP and a great first attack, just don't use Comet punch that often.
8. Chansey- would be higher but double-edge is risky. Killer staller and great finisher.
7.Mr. Mime- I hate fighting these guys. Invisible wall is great, and meditate is a nice attack.DESTROYS stage 2's.
6.Lapras- raindance needed a mime-killer, and this guy does just that. Awsome attack combos, but I wish watergun did 20 base damage
5.Magmar(fossil)- what a speedster!, a stall move combined with a poison attack is killer, and by God, he doesn't have to discard energy
4.Scyther- Deserves higher but 3 for 30 is only average, everything else is awsome though
3.Hitmonchan- I love this guy, his first attack is awsome, and his   second one ain't too shabby either, the only reason he's not #1 is because every type has resistance to him
2.MP Mewtwo- virtually unfased by E.R., solid attacker, second turn 40 with comp.search
1. Electabuzz -What can I say, his speed and efficiency are unmatched

Trainers:
10.Item Finder- gets you any trainer in your discard pile, can really turn a game around.
9.Gust of Wind- That evil looking Dark Charmelion with 6 energy getting to you, not any more
8.Plus power- Would be higher but it's only good in certain situations, but I'm in those situations all the time so I love it
7.Scoop up- Full heal, switch and super potion all in one, too bad your energies are discarded
6.Lass-A highly underrated card. Can really mess up opponent, and works as an anti-decking card.
5.Energy Removal/S.E.R.- E.R is better than S.E.R. because you don't have to discard your own energy, great cards though.
4.Comp. Search- best Search card to date
3.Nightly Garbage run- works like a retrieval, fuji, and revive all at once.
2.Bill- card advantage wins baby.
1.Prof oak- bad hand-just ditch it. Best card drawer there is. Nuff said

I'm just gonna do top 5 for these next 2 groups, and I'm not gonna explain em cause they speak for themselves.

Stage 1:
5.Rapidash/Base Raichu/Gyarados/Venomoth
4.Clefable
3.Muk
2.Ninetales
1.Wigglytuff

Stage 2:
5.Polwrath/Dark Blastoise
4.Nidoking/Venusaur
3.Dark Vileplume
2.Alakazam(Base)/Gengar
1.Blastoise(Base)

There you have it, my lists. I'll probably take a lot of heat for my choices, but oh well. And no, Rapidash in the top 5 stage 1's is not a mistake, it is a really awsome, but underrated card.

Now, PROPS AND SLOPS..... oh wait that's a different section.

Bye for now.
