Here are some of the best pokemon in the game. it may be long, but it's very infomative. electabuzz-him and hitmonchan are probally the best basics in the game. they both have 70hp and killer attacks. thunderpunch does 30 plus a chance of doing 10 more, for 2 energy. not bad, and for 1 enegy you can do 10 damage plus you could paralyze the opponent! hitmonchan- look above butterfree- almost impossible to kill.you have to do at least 50 damage if you even want to dent this awesome uncommon. plus that annoying whirlwind. did i mention 70hp and no retreat cost? venomoth-awesome. you have a chance of poisoning and confusing the opponent. thats a lot of damage in 1 turn!!! should be in all grass decks. vileplume-PETAL DANCE exeggutor-not too bad can do lots of damage w/ big eggsplosion. koffing- very underestimated, has a 100% chance of changing the opponents status. i love him! beedrill-poison sting is great! mankey-peek is awesome, hes a great bench warmer primeape- this guy is great too, i like fury swipes dewgong-i think butterfree and him share the throne of king of uncommons. aurora beam is just like dragon rage! gyarados-100hp & dragon rage seaking-awesome!!!!! just kidding arcanine- this card is ok, there is always a down side to his attacks, i like the hp though. rapidash-i love its agility, very annoying wigglytuff- i have grown to worship it. i love do the wave! dodrio-ok more of a sacrifice tauros- another great basic!! kangaskhan-hmmm, unlike others i'm not too fond of him. if you want to waste the energy go ahead, good staller w/ fetch though pidgeot-Awesome!! hurricane can win you the game in a flash!!! fearow-i like thiis guy clefable-1 energy metronome is nice likitung-a poor man's chansey, nice persian-pounce is great, kills 2 birds w/ 1 stone dragonair-i've grown to like him. hyper beam is nice raticate-only like him for super fang farfetch'd- since tyler introduced farfetch'd to us, people just automatically thought he was good, and they never tested him! i like farfetch'd and i know that from experience, i don't think hes the best basic, and i think scyther is better. that's all for now.hope this helps!
