(Another good deck that needs very little of my help, kudos Henry!)

Just when you traded those 4 Hitmonchan guys away, Aaron goes and raves about Hitmonchan!

Hitmonchan?

I hear some of you folks asking, "Hitmonchan?"

Sure! You remember, the crux of the original "Killer" Pokemon TCG deck, Haymaker?

While Hitmo sure was snazzy back in the day, as of the release of Fossil and about a dozen playable cards with Fighting resistance, Hitmo ain't seen much action.

And what was the result of taking the back seat?  In many area's cards with weakness to Fighting were thrust into the spotlight.  As Henry points out, these Pokemon go by the names of Jiggly, Wiggly, Chansey, and um... uh.... wait don't tell me..... OH YEAH!  Electabuzz!!!!

If the above mentioned Pokemon are running rampant in your area, throw everyone off with the Return of Chan!  And while it isn't a cookie cutter deck as far as my deck building rules go (low Pokemon and low Energy), experienced players can and have managed just fine with those ratios!

Hope this helps...have fun!
Aaron
