I have a strategy that involves Giovanni's Last Resort + Pokedex + Professor Oak.
First, the stats.

Giovanni's Last Resort
Type:  Trainer
Effect:  Choose 1 of your own Giovanni Pokemon and remove all
  damage counters from it, then discard your hand.
Picture:  Giovanni, sitting, with a Nidoqueen in the silhouette.
No number (Rare)

Name:         Pokedex
Type:         Trainer
Card #:       card 87 of 102
Rarity:       Uncommon
Text:         Look at up to 5 cards from the top of your deck and rearrange
              them as you like.

Name:         Professor Oak
Type:         Trainer
Card #:       card 88 of 102
Rarity:       Uncommon
Text:         Discard your hand, then draw 7 cards.

First, use Pokedex, hopefully you have a Professor Oak as one of the 5 cards. Choose Professor Oak as the next card. Then use Giovanni's Last Resort and choose a Giovanni Pokemon that's about to faint. Next turn, you can "Oak" without discarding and you take away all damage counters from one of your pokemon.
