Down below is the top 10 fossil cards, 10 being the least and 1 being the
greatest, let's go on with the show with Pokemon number10
10.Aerodactyl:The reason Aerodactyl wasn't as good as people expected was
because hit points are low for a stage1 evolution, and wing attack won't
knock anyone out unless they have weakness to fighting, however the power is
the reason that Aerodactyl got on the list at all, because using it will send
the weakling basic Pokemon, which makes Aerodactyl look better(unless some of
your opponent's Pokemon cannot evolve but the ones that can will be easy to
take out).
9.Muk:The reason Muk isn't down there are at 2 or 3 is the attack is
expensive, it would be better if it guarenteed poison, the power however can
stop Aerodactyl or anyone eles, weakness to grass will make Aerodactyl an
easy target for Muk, so look out Rain Dance decks, there's a new card in town
that will shut down Blastoise for good!
8.Articuno:Attacks, though expensive are good, although Articuno depends on
coin flipping more than anything eles he was number 8 on the top 10(no
offense). Using Blastoise will power up Articuno faster than anything,  use
Freeze Dry and Blizzard to do 80 damage(like Moltres but without the chance
of failing). That's why  Articuno is cool, and don't forget hit points, 70 is
always decent for a basic, and Hitmonchan poses no threat to Articuno, at the
most Hitmonchan will do 10 damage(big deal).
7.Hitmonlee:More people should appreciate Hitmonlee, it's like Pinsir, sort
of. High jump kick is like a cheaper guilotine attack and does the same
thing, for 2 energy, like Pinsir, he does 20(to the bench), then one more
energy and he does 50 directly to the defending Pokemon, and no one said the
60 hit points are bad just because Hitmonchan has 70.
6.Ditto:This guy is so good, may as well ignore the 50 hit points, because
hit points all depend on  who you transform into(unless you turn into a guy
with 50HP, and there are a lot of those) sometimes if your opponent brings
out a wimp, well, then you're wimpy too, but if they bring out a Blastoise or
Alakazam, then you can rain dance or damage swap your bench which is wicked
awesome, you'll also have their other abilities(confuse ray and hydro pump).
Almost like Clefable but you have to pay more than 1 energy to do mojor
damage(unless you turn into Hitmonchan).
5.Haunter:50 hit points is the worst for a stage1 Pokemon, so why is Haunter
smack in the middle of the top10, Transparency, it provides an agility type
attack,  and since it is a power it doesn't count as attacking so then you
can use the attack Nightmare, which is incredibly werak, incredibly cheap but
gaurentees  that the defending Pokemon will fall asleep, no retreat cost, no
weakness,and resitance to fighting Pokemon, cool!
4.Kabutops:You are probaly wondering Why Kabutops, it's pretty obvious,
attacks, expensive but powerful, his absorb provides a leech life sort of
attack and does 40 damage! Better than any leech life attack in the game, 60
hit points isn't great but absorb is great, qadd lots of potions and Kabutops
won't take a scratch!
3.Dragonite:Another Pokemon that relys on chance like Articuno but if chance
is on this dragon's side then you'll do 80 damage as well,for 4 energy or 2
double colorless, cheap retreat, 100 hit points can keep it fighting a while,
and no weakness, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee don't stand a chance and Step In is
like retreating your active Pokemon for free, but  you have to send Dragonite
in it's place, that can be bad, if Dragonite isn't energized and has lots of
damage on it.
2.Moltres:The reason Moltres is so cool is not because of his chance gto do
80 or no damage but because of Wildfire, the attack that really needs more
than 1 energy, you need lots so you can discard them all and discard that
number of cards from your oppononent, make sure you have more cards than your
opponent when you use Wildfire, 70 hit points is decent and no weakness is
decenter, also once again, Hitmonchan can't do anything.
1.Gengar:The stage2 of destruction, retreat cost is too low to be true, use
Dodrio to retreat for free! Use curse when you can't use Dark Mind, pile on
the PSY energies and Dark Mind your opponent, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan will
be crushed by this guy and so will your opponent's bench, he also has 80hp
and no weakness, too cool!
