The best choices are water Pokémon with HP >over 60 and do 40 or more damage. > >Jolteon - A good choice would be ground/rock again like Rhydon, Marowak, >Dugtrio, or just a strong fighting Pokémon like Machamp or Hitmonchan. > >Kangaskhan - A Pokémon with high HP is ideal for a battle with a Kangaskhan. >Machamp and Rhydon are good choices here because they won't be knocked out by >Comet Punch. > >Mr. Mime - A big problem against a lot of the tougher Pokémon. The easiest >way to kill Mr. Mime is with a Nidoking. With one Toxic, it will take 20 >damage then take another 20 when poisoned at the end of your turn. Other >Pokémon like the jungle Electrode, Venomoth (once Mr. Mime is confused, you >can knock it out with an 30 damage attack from one of your benched Pokémon, >and many of the commons. Wigglytuff is also a great choice against Mr. Mime. >Lull it to sleep then knock it out with the wave. > >Nidoqueen - Boyfriends, what a unique attack. Anyhow, Mega Punch can be a big >threat because two hits with that can knock out almost any Pokémon. Strong >psychic Pokémon will do the trick here like Kadabra's Super Psy or Haunter's >Dream Eater. > >Pidgeot - Hurricane can be really annoying unless you stop it with an >electric attack. Raichu, basic Electrode, Electabuzz, or Zapdos are perfect >for this nuisance. Make sure you bring a fully charged one out to prevent >Hurricane. > >Pinsir - With 60 HP, even a Charmander can defeat this Pokémon. Almost >anything fire can knock Pinsir out with one hit. Just remember to watch out >for Guillotine if you're using Charmander or Ponyta. > >Scyther - A pumped up Farfetch'd. Fire is the best choice for this foe. No >need for Ninetales or Charizard. A simple Flareon, Magmar, or Arcanine can do >the trick. > >Snorlax - Does anyone get the end of Snorlax's Pokémon Power description? >Fighting is a good choice to defeat Snorlax. I'm pretty sure that any evolved >fighting Pokémon can defeat Snorlax in one hit. > >Vaporeon - Why do all the Eevee evolutions have Quick Attack including Eevee? >Get some variety here. Basic Electrode, Raichu, Electabuzz are good enough >for Vaporeon (by the way, if Jolteon is good for some of the water Pokémon, I >haven't mentioned it because it's the only card I don't have). > >Venomoth - Venomoth's Venom Powder is real pain if it comes out heads. To >stop this, use a Snorlax because of its ability to maintain its status. It'll >take a Venomoth five rounds to defeat a Snorlax. Fire is also great. Just >remember how bad Venom Powder can be for a normal Pokémon. > >Victreebel - A good card if your opponent has something like a Gyarados or >Poliwrath with no energy on it on his bench. Fire is obviously a good choice. >A simple Magmar or Arcanine can do the trick with Flamethrower. > >Vileplume - Watch out for Petal Dance. It has a probability of knocking >anything out in one hit. To prevent this dangerous dance, use a fire Pokémon >mentioned above like Magmar, Arcanine, or Flareon. You don't have to waste >all that energy with Charizard or Ninetales to defeat Vileplume. > >Wigglytuff - Do the Wave. Another unique attack. Use something like Rhydon, >Machoke, Machamp, or Dugtrio on this balloon Pokémon. > >Of course, for all of these except Mr. Mime, you can knock em out with a >Charizard or Zapdos, but it wastes a lot of energy.
