Dear Pojo,
  I wanna talk about a really good card that deserves
more than it has...VENUSAUR!  What bothers me is that
he is never on shirts and merchandise, unlike stupid
Charizard. Anyways, here is the card:

            Venusaur        100 HP
           
            Pokemon Power: Energy Transfer
            As many times during your turn,
            before you attack, you may move
            one grass energy to one pokemon
            to another.  This power can't be
            used if BLAH BLAH BLAH

            GGGG  Solar Beam 60

            Weakness-fire Resistance-none Retreat-2

Venusaur is one of the best cards of the entire TCG in
my opinion.  He delivers a steady stream of 60 damage
per turn, has an excellent pokemon power, and has a
high HP.  His evolution line is also pretty good,
especially Ivysaur, which auto-poisons for 3 Grass and
does 30 for a grass and DCE.  This means poison
powder, then vine whip will do 80!  Bulbasaur is ok,
but would be nice if he has an attack with only one
energy.  Compared to Charizard, Venusaur is MUCH
better.  Discarding 2 Fire is way to much.  So
Venusaur will do 120 in the two turns it takes to
charge up Charizard. Thats a lot!  On the other hand,
Blastoises poke power is a big help, and is a major
tournament winner with raindance.  Blastoise and 'Saur
are about even.  The retreat is good for a stage 2.
Also, pokemon you transfer to dont have to be grass!
You can also recycle your energy to another from a
dying pokemon.

PROs
  Can do a steady 60 every turn
  Good power
  Good evolution line
  Very good Combo

CONs
  Weak to fire
  No resistance
  Stage 2
  Useless at the beginning of the game.
 

COMBOs
  Venusaur+Pokemon Center- transfer to healthy pokemon
and heal all others without discarding energy!

Venusaur+Charizard- Transfer to Charizard and beat
down with 100 per turn and a lot of energy to spare.

Venusaur+Eggsecutor- Tranfer all your energy to
Eggsecutor and do Big Eggsplosion for unlimited
damage.
