The Power of Evoluton
By John(da Hamsta)Khaou

    Okie dokie, now it's time for a little general strategy on evolution. 
Generally, evolution makes your pokemon tougher, and more energy intensive 
than it's previous form.  Of course, evol doesn't fit every strategy of each
deck and is usually slower.  However, Raindance is the fastest and most
recognized archetype of any evol deck.  Personally, I'd prefer to keep my
li'l basics on the bench and let Kangaskhan or Electabuzz take the early
beatings and build up on the li'l guys in the back.  There are a few
strategies on how to make a successful evol deck and here's some.
Hay-Defense
    Using the quickness of 'Buzz,Hitmo, or Magmar to dish out some damage as
you build up on the bench, you can kill off remaining adversaries with your
evolved forms more easily.  You can also soften up your opposition with any
other reliable basic, but you should rely on speed to keep layin' a energy
every turn if possible.
Stall 'n Fetch
    Obviously, open up with Kangaskhan and start stuffing your bench and hand
full of energy and pokemon. Be careful, however,Kangaskhan's weak against
fighting monsters like Hitmo.
Status Stall
    As the theme applies, this deck uses 1 or 2 energy pokes like Lickitung
or Grimer or such to keep your foe from attacking in the first place.
Haymakers are especially weak against status effects due to their generally
lower HP and flat out damage attacks. Hay can't afford to be set up by
paralyze or such effects since this slows the deck down.
Speed Breeder
    This exposes your li'l basic right at the beginning, but then bye turn 2
or 3 it turns into a huge relentless terror. Stage 2s would probably have at
least 2 Breeders to get out 'em faster. The most infamous pokes of this
strategy are:Blastoise(duh),Venusaur,Nidoking,and Beedrill. Also, this deck
may have the support of base Electrode for an even faster damage dispersal.
    That's the bottom line 'cuz da Hamsta said so!!!!  If you've any
