These are some cards that really helped me with some of my decks.  I list 
these at Random, Not in order:   *=Sucks     **=Average   ***=Great    
****=Extremely Good

** Bill= I used to like this card, that was when I was constantly losing 
battles, but lately it hasn't been helping me out as much as it used to.  All 
this does is give you 2 extra cards, but If you have 3 or 4 it will liquidate 
your deck, I suggest for Experienced Players, use like 1 or 2 just to help 
you out a bit.   

***1/2 Hitmonchan= I really like this card.  I personally think Hitmonchan is 
the best Basic Pokemon (including over Scyther and Farfetch'd). I know I will 
get yelled at, but I don't care.  I think Hitmonchan is one of the best, 
because first he's is a Basic Pokémon, second he's got 70HP (Which is a lot 
for a Basic Pokémon), third he can attack early on, Scyther Can't do that, 
you have to wait, but with Hitmonchan you can start attacking right away with 
an attack that does 20 damage and only costs 1 Energy.

*** Kangaskhan= I think Kangaskhan is a really great Pokemon.  I think he's 
right up there with Chansey, Farfetch'd, Scyther, etc... because he is 
important for numerous reasons.  He has 90HP and while waiting to gather 
enough energy to do Comet Punch, you can use fetch which means you can draw 
an extra card (This means you will need No Bill at all).  With his 90HP, he 
is a good stalling Pokémon, and is a Basic Pokémon (Most Important).  I had 
Finished off a lot of cards with this Pokémon.

***1/2 Chansey= Yes, I think he is one of the best Pokémon, not the worst, i 
said that because see the artical replying to Jeremy Woods.  He is a Very, 
Very Great Staller, and can do double-edge, Which eventually kills himself, 
but Not a lot of pokémon have over 80HP, so I think with Chansey you could 
get a 2 for 1 deal.  

*** Charizard= Yes, I agree with everyone he is not the best pokemon, but his 
a pretty damn good one.  In the beginning of my card game career, I used 
Charizard, and he kicked butt.  I started using him in Charizard, and he was 
real bad in large scale tourny's.  I eventually discovered, (which I was dumb 
for not thinking of this before) is that keep him on the bench, While Chansey 
is in, Then as he has 4 Fire Energy Bring him in and Get ready to get all of 
your prizes.  

* Energy Removal= Yeah, I think this is an awesome card, but when you think 
about it, taking away 1 energy is gonna do nothing, Same with Super Energy 
Removal cause that takes away 2, but discards, one of your own.

**** Exeggutor= This Pokémon twice, Took all 6 prizes at one time.  I think 
this is the best card, Why?  Well, because You can keep Exeggcute on the 
bench, and you can also Evolve and attach energy to him (attaching 2 or 3 
Defenders to him makes him unstoppable, nope not even Charizard won't save 
the day, I always make sure I kill Charmander and Charmeleon).  

* Lass= Virtually crap, It does nothing for you at all.

***3/4 Primeape= This Pokémon Can gather up prizes 3 times at once or gather 
no prizes and die (mostly it doesn't die that easily).  Look at Primape for a 
second, He has 70HP (pretty good) and does 20 times the number the head, you 
can flip 3 coins, that means doing either 0-60 damage costing only 2 Energy.  
Look at Tantrum for a second too.  That move, I don't care if Primape dies, 
is the best finishing move.

I can't get nearly through all 164 cards, but if you (pojo) post this, I will 
try to get through as many as I can and as fast as I can (3-4 months).
