I have had many people ask me for advice on how to beat one of the most popular and deadly decks, Raindance. Here's a few suggestions: USE ELECTRIC!!! Electric is essential to defeating Raindance. The reason why people don't use electric is because all the good cards are rare. Use Electabuzz, possibly the best electric Pokemon there is. Another good card to use is Magneton, which is an underestimated card. But believe me, it will RIP through a Blastoise. And of course, you can't forget Raichu and Zapdos. You can see that building this deck is quite expensive, but if you're gonna play in a tourney, or if one of your rich neighbors has a mono Raindance deck, it's worth it. MasterVL kenle@sprintmail.com
