Hey it's Lufta here.
I just wanted to state someting before I start the article. This is what I
think about the Pokemon TCG feal free to tell me what you think, but if your
just going to bash me about it skip it your get a better response by posting
your touhgts on the pojo! 

Ok on with the Peeks in the Past.

Card #1 Nidoking
This card is only 1 outof a small handful of cards that don't have another
counter part. ( For instance team rocket oddish and jungle oddish are counter
parts)
Let's look at his stats.


HP 90
Stage 2
Reteat 3
Weakness Psy
Resistance none

1st attack
 1 grass and 2 colorless energy Thrash 30+
Flip a coin if heads this attack does 40 damage. If tails this attack does 30
damage and 10 damage to Nodoking.

2nd Attack
3 G energy     Toxic 20
The defending Pokemon is poisin, however this poisin does 20 damage instead
if 10 damage. If another Pokemon poisins the defending Pokemon that only has
a 10 damage poisin the 10 damage poisin replaces the 20 damage poisin.


Ok he has a great HP.
His first attack is pretty good.
I love his 2 attack double poisin kicks.
reteat is not very good.
stage 2 isn't good.
weakness to psyhick not good
no resistance not good


Man I love this card! It is so good! He is one of the best grass Pokemon.
Grass decks should toss away there Venasaurs for this guy!

Combos
Toxic -switch-Mewtwo Barrier
Toxic - SER ER to stop reteating.
Toxic - Nothing Toxic is a combo in itself.
Toxic - GOW get out a high reteat powerhouse and toxic him for the kill!




Machamp
HP 100
reteat 3
weakness Psy
Resitance none
stage 2


Pokemon Power
Strikes Back
If Machamp was damaged by the defending Pokemon last turn ( Oppents turn )
Then Machamp does 10 Damage to the defending Pokemon. Even if Machamp is
Knocked out. This Pokemon Power doesn't work if Machamp is asleep confused or
paralized.



Seismic Toss  60 




Well not much to say here he's a good Pokemon that's all.

Combos
strikes back seismic toss to kill Haymaker Pokemon. Only works if he was
damaged though.

Sorry can't think of much for this guy.


Sincerly,
Lufta
