Hey, I've decided to give you the Top 10 Base Set Pokemon Cards.  (^_^)

#10- Electrode- The Pokemon Power: Buzzap is awesome, since you can knock him
out at any time. 80HP is good for a Stage 1 also. The retreat cost is good.
Since it's only one. The attack is solid. Evolves from a good Basic. (Use the
Rocket Voltorb) A good card.

#9- Ninetails- Better than Charizard in my opinion. 80 HP.. Not bad. The
retreat cost is awesome! one energy for a stage 1 card. That's great! The
attack is better than Charizards, since you only have to discard one energy.
He gets out faster too, since he is a Stage 1, ....Plus he looks awesome!

#8- Mewtwo- A great Staller with Barrier. Psychic pulls out the power also.
The low HP, The HP is bad for a basic Pokemon! But if you combo him with
switch or Dodrio then your in luck. A pretty good card. :)

#7- Gyarados- Used in Raindance. Heavy Hitter! 50 and a 40 which can paralyze
your opponent! The retreat cost is pretty bad, that's why it costed him a
spot. But the Resistance to fighting is good. Awesome card! An easy pull from
packs too.

#6- Chansey- 120HP. Good attack if you need to use it.. Scrunch which can
prevent your opponent from putting some ruthless damage on you. The excellent
combo in a Damage Swap Deck. Since he has so much HP. Alakazam can just
transfer Damage on too him. Then use Scoop Up or Pokemon Center.

#5- Venusaur- Energy Trans is awesome. Since you can combo it with Energy
Burn, Charizard's Pokemon Power. Solar Beam is excellent if you are on the
attack and if you really need to do some damage. It wont wipe most of the
haymaker Pokemon out in one hit by itself. But, if you put in some Plus
Powers then you're in luck. Attach one.. And you've just killed most Haymaker
Pokemon since most of them only have 70 HP.

#4- Alakazam- One of the best Pokemon Powers in the game. Great Attack. What
else is there to say. You can transfer damage to a chansey or another 'Kazam
and they use a Scoop Up when they have 10 Damage left. You could also use a
Pokemon Center. I like Scoop Up better since you don't have to discard any
energy.

#3- Blastoise-The best Pokemon Power in the game! (Tied with Damage Swap) Has
great HP. Retreat Cost is pretty good. The attack is great, considering he
has an excellent Pokemon Power. He is so good.. a whole archetype was built
after him. For all you beginners out there, it's called "Raindance!"

#2- Hitmonchan- The base of the Haymaker! Speed Kills Ya! This guy's got
plenty of it. 20 Damage on turn one. 70 HP, Double Retreat. SOme people think
he's better than 'Buzz. But, Buzz,

#1- Electabuzz- Reason being.. He has a great attack (Thunder Punch) which
can do 40 damage on turn two, if you flip heads. Plus he is my favorite
Pokemon. 70 HP is a good hunk of Hit Points for a basic Pokemon too. What
else is there to say.
