Dear Pojo, This is my first time writing an article, so please post this. BMW I have some disputes over JC's points in Battle for a spot in Earth, Water and Fire. First , I think he made a VERY bad deciscion in picking Dewgong over Blastoise. These two cards are no where near being in a tie. First of all, Blastoise has 100 HP while Dewgong has only 80. Second, Blastoise's Pokemon Power is just plain great. He can not only use it to get powered up very quickly (mine usually has 5 energies by turn 2), but he can use it to help pay his three retreat cost. Also, While Blastoiise can be powered up in two turns, Dewgong has to wait at least three, and has no help paying his own three retreat cost. Of the two basics, Seel and Squirtle, I believe Squirtle is better. Seel has 60 HP to Squirtle's 40, but Squirtle has nicer attacks.
