Me and my freinds figured out the two ultimate cards to fight a Charizard.

What you need: you need to have a blastoise in play. Blastoise's pokemon
power lets you put any number of water energy under any water pokemon in one
turn. You should also have at least 6 water energy in your hand before
blastoise goes out to fight(it wouldn't be too smart to have blastoise in
play with not enough water energy to use him). Once you have 6 water energy
in your hand you should let charizard kill the pokemon battling for you(it
should not be a good one). You let blastoise go out to fight and use his
hydro pump attack that can do 60 damage with 6 water energy. Before he
attacks use his pokemon power to put all 6 water energy under him.
Charizard's weakness is water so hydro pump kills him in one hit.

the other pokemon is poliwhirl. You build up his energy on your bench and
when he has enough you let him go out against the charizard and use mnesia
on his fire spin attack. On your next turn you use doubleslap and hope to
god that the coin lands on heads two times in a row. If it doesn't it won't
kill charizard in one hit and your poliwhirl is doomed. You can see why
blastoise is better against charizard.
