Another overlooked card is Gust of Wind. Sure, it's a common card, everybody has one, 
it's just that everybody thinks it's crap just because it's common. I think 
every deck should have at least two. Think about it, your opponent has a 
Charizard on his bench with no energy on it, he's just starting to build it up. 
You have an active Venusaur, Charizard will slaughter it. So, you use Gust of 
Wind. You have the Charizard come out, your Venusaur uses solar beam and in two 
hits kills the Charizard
