>Well, now that Jungle's released we're getting 64 more cards to choose from.
>First of all, my top ten:
>1. Kangaskhan (Basic), a colorless pokemon with 90 hp. For one energy you
>can draw a card, and for four energy you can flip four coins and do 20
>damage times the number of heads. Ok, at first he looks dumb, but he's a
>colorless basic who could do 80 damage, plus he's like a living Bill.
>2. Mr. Mime (Basic), only 40 hp, but his power allows you to prevent all
>effects of attacks with 30 or more damage. Plus for one colorless and one
>psychic energy you can do 10 damage plus 10 more for each damage counter on
>defender.
>3. Scyther (Basic), with 70 hp and a resistance to fighting. For 3 colorless
>energy do 30 damage, plus for one grass energy, do double damage the next
>turn.
>4. Exeggutor (Stage 1), 80 hp for one psychic energy switch exeggutor with a
>benched pokemon, and for any number of colorless energy flip as many coins
>as energy cards attached to exeggutor, then do 20x damage.  A combo with
>Venusaur would be awesome here.
>5. The Nidoran (F) evolution, Nidoran (F) can bring out a Nidoran (M), which
>is particularly dangerous if you are trying to get out Nidoking and
>Nidoqueen (one of Nidoqueen's moves does 20 damage plus 20 more for each
>Nidoking).
>6. Goldeen (40 hp, 10 damage), whoops, how did that get in here.
>6. (revised) Wigglytuff (Stage 1), 80 hp, with one energy put the defender
>to sleep, with three energy do 10 damage plus ten more for any pokemon you
>have on the bench.
>7. Snorlax (Basic), 90 hp, his power makes him immune to paralysis,
>confusion, sleep, and poison.  For four energy do 30 damage and flip a coin
>to see if defender is paralyzed.
>8. Pinsir (Basic), 60 hp, for two leaf energy take away 20 and flip a coin,
>if it is heads the defender is paralyzed, and for two leaf plus two
>colorless take away 50.
>9. Clefable (Stage 1), Metronome only takes one energy, and for two you can
>minimize the damage done to Clefable                 next turn by 20.
>10. Eevee (Basic), the most like Farfetch'd in this deck, 50 hp, colorless,
>for one energy flip a coin, if it is heads Eevee can not be attacked next
>turn, for two energy flip a coin, if heads do 30 damage, if tails do 20.
>
>The Winners:
>Grass and Colorless, the strongest colors, and Fire and Fighting, what they
>are weak to.
>
>The Losers:
>Raindance, poor Gyarados will get crushed by the plants, and the only
>support he got was Vaporeon (Eevee is better) and Goldeen, sigh.
>
>P.S. Please note how many cards are basics.  Everyone thinks that the
>almighty Charizard and company could whoop them, but Charizard is a stage
>two, and you might not get him until late in the game. Basics like Jynx,
>Hitmonchan, Electabuzz, Farfetch'd, Chansey, and those above will be good
>for the whole game, and by the time you get your Charizard, I'll probably
>only have one prize left to draw.
