Hi Pojo!
This is my second Single Card Strategy, and I chose Dark Rapidash!  Here
I am showing not only the Pokemon I just talked about, but also TR
Ponyta.  Here we go......

F Basic Pokemon
Ponyta 50 HP
FC Ember-Discard 1 F Energy card attached to Ponyta in order to use this
attack.   D:30
Weakness:W
Resistance:N/A
Retreat Cost:C

This is a COOL Ponyta!  It has the same attack as the old Charmander!
It has better HP than the old Ponyta, and its attack is just as good.
The only bad side is the "Discarding" part.  But otherwise, it's GREAT!
%0 HP is pretty good for the TR set, and 30 damage can stack up in a
hurry.  The Retreat Cost is good, but how many people actually retreat?
As for the Water Weakness, it happens to almost any fire type, so DEAL
WITH IT!

Rating (1-10):5
(It's great!  Ponyta could wipe out almost any Grass type in the TR
set!)

Good Trainer Combinations:
Ponyta+Pluspower(s)
(Burn 'em all up!)
Ponyta+Defender
(Keep opponent's from touching Ponyta while you get more energies)
Ponyta+Energy Search
(More Ember shots!)

F Stage 1, Evolves from Ponyta
Dark Rapidash 60 HP
CC Rear Kick   D:20
FF Flame Pillar-You may discard 1 F Energy card attached to Dark
Rapidash when you use this attack.  If you do, and your opponent has any
Benched Pokemon, choose 1 of them and do 10 damage to it.(Don't apply
Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon)   D:30
Weakness:W
Resistance:N/A
Retreat Cost:0

I love it even more than TR Ponyta!  It's attacks kick butt on the last
Rapidash's, and with less Energy!  Flame Pillar rocks, being a Bench
Hitter, and Rear Kick isn't too shabby.  Its Retreat Cost is the lowest
possible, but like I said, who retreats?  The Water Weakness?  DEAL WITH
IT!  IT'LL HAPPEN TO ALMOST ANY FIRE TYPE!  Dark Rapidash definately has
a reserved spot in Firestorm!(My Fire/Electric deck)

Rating (1-10):7.5
(I LOOOOOVE it!  Flame Pillar can hit 'em on the Bench!  If they retreat
their Grass type, you hit 'em with this!)

Good Trainer Combinations
Dark Rapidash+Gust of Wind+PlusPower+Defender
(Bring out those Grass types their hiding.....and WHIP 'EM GOOD!  And
meanwhile....Dark Rapidash won't get hurt!)

Thank you for reading my Single Card Strategy for Dark Rapidash and his
earlier stage.  And remember...FLOWER POKEMON ROCK!
