Why I don't like Fire-Fighting Decks Problems with Fire. Fire pokemon are just a bunch of energy gobblers or they do damage to themselves. 1.Charmander-Ember does 30 but you take of an energy. 2.Charmeleon-Flamethrower does 50 but you take off an energy. 3.Charizard-Fire Spin or whatever it is does 100 but you take of 2 energy. I think Chansey is better. 4.Growlithe-Takes 2 energy just to do 20. Rattata is almost as good as Growlithe is, maybe better. 5.Magmar-Uses 2 fire energy to do 30. Magmar has Flamehrower too. 6.Arcanine- Flamethrower, and Take down. Take Down does 80 but does 30 to self. 7.Ninetails-Lure, I could just use a Gust of Wind. Fire Blast, does 80 but takes away 1 energy 8. Vupix-Confuse Ray, does 10 but 50% chance of be confused. Being confused isn't that harmful. I could just go on and on, but you get the idea. And for the Fighting Fighting does do quick damage, but not enough. I think fir eis better. 1.Machoke-Karate Chop, can do 50 but not always. Submission, does 60 but does 20 to self. 2.Machamp-Does 60 for FOUR energy, that's one energy too much. 3.Diglett-30 HP! WHAT! Rattata is better even though he has 30 HP too. As again, I could go on and on, but I am tired of typing. chip_8702@yahoo.com
