To whom it may concern, here are some cards needed for any deck. (These
cards are in no particular order)

1. energy removal/super energy removal-GREAT cards that can help you stall
and really mess up your opponent.

2. Gust of Wind-same as above (can help you stall and mess up your
opponent)

3. Imposter Professor Oak-hehe this card can seriously screw your opponent.
Here's an example. You know he/she's playing with one
 Charizard. You catch a glimpse of it in their hand. They have a charmeleon
out with 3 fires on it. Say good-bye to charizard.

4. Bill-these can really come through in a pinch.

5. Plus power-Those 70hp on hitmonchan can now be beaten in 2 pot smashes
by farfetch'd.

6. Farfetch'd-Hail to Tyler enough said

7. Defender-slow down magnemite's self-destruct and defend against the
opponent's next attack

8. Double colorless energy-for all those decks playing with farfetch'd

Usually you are able to squeeze these cards into a deck. I only mentioned
one pokemon and that is farfetch'd because he is colorless. He can operate
in any deck. :>  Questions or comments, e-mail me at
