The Sucessful Strategies, by Pokeman
  Having been a judge for a couple of unsanctioned tournaments, I see a
lot of good strategists gone to waste with bad cards. I feel like
talking about the strategies and the cards to use with them.

The Headlong Strategy: Good with Fighting or Fire decks, but no other
colors have the firepower to do this. Depends on a strong attacker and a
lot of healing and energy. Good trainers include: Potions, Super
Potions, Full Heals, Poke Centers, Poke Breeders, and Energy Removal and
Retrieval. Suggested Pokemon: Charizard series, Arcanine series,
Nintales series, Hitmonchan, Machamp series, Dugtrio series, and
Magneton series.

The Sneaky Strategy: Good with Grass and Psychic. Depends on shifting,
Confusing, putting to Sleep, Poisoning, Paralyzing, or otherwise
incapcitating opponents, then finishing them off. Mixing with fighting
can be deadly to opponents. Good trainers: Full Heals, Potions, Energy
Removals, the rocket card Sleep! Sleep!, Gusts, and Switches. Good
Pokemon: the Weezing family, Tangela, the Venomoth family, the Beedrill
family, the Parasect family, the Nidoking family (for attack), the
Exeggutor family, and the Wigglytuff family.

The General Strategy: Very bad. Mixes different Pokemon in a hope of
versatility. Usually ends up with weak Pokemon with a chance to Confuse
that gets killed immediately. I wash my hands of this strategy. It is
really bad.

The Blitz Strategy: Get 'em out and get 'em out fast. Use Electric or
Fighting Pokemon with low costs to achieve maximum speed. Good trainers:
Bill, Energy Removal/Retrieval, Professor Oak, and Full Heals. Good
Pokemon: Hitmonchan, Electrabuzz, Zapdos, the Magneton family, and the
Raichu family (both Pikachus are good.).
