Now, I know that Erika's Dratini is a great card, but a lot of people don't take the time to read it.  It's power is great, but it can't withstand anything.  Take for example Adam's Blaine's Arcanine article on August 18th.  He says one thing that isn't true: "You will notice that Blaine's Arcanine has an attack that does 120 damage!
This is the only card that I have ever seen that does 120 damage. And since no Pokemon has over 120 HP or Resistance to Fire, this card kills any Pokemon in one hit! (Excluding Defenders, Mr.Mime, and Erica's Dratini)."  He's wrong.  Defenders and Mr. Mime's will work, but Erika's Dratini has this pokemon power:

Strange Barrier: Whenever an attack by a BASIC POKEMON (including your own) does 20 or more damage to Erika's Dratini (after applying weakness and resistance), reduce that damage to 10.  This power stops working while Erika's Dratini is asleep, confused or paralyzed.

This is a great power, but a Charizard, Blaine's Arcanine, or a Charmeleon (Base) are just a couple of pokemon that could KO it in one hit.  The power only goes for basic pokemon, not evolutions.  The power is awesome, however, against haymaker decks, cuz they primarily only use basics, and the damage will be reduced to 10. 

Thanks For Reading.
