This is my version of "Best of the Best":
Grass: Venusaur-  It is  awesome.  The pokemon power is great, it lets you
transfer energy around your pokemon.  That means you don't need as much grass
energy in you deck.  Sorry to: Vileplume, Nidoking, and Exeggutor and
Beedrill.  Vileplume is not the best because of its attack and hp and power.
First, its hp-80? Now that's low for a stage 2.  It's power? It ony removes
one,ONE damage counter.  That's nothing by the time you pull out Vileplume(a
stage 2).  Also, its attack.  It will usually do about 40 or 80.  It has a
1/4 of a chance of doing 120.  That's so unreliable!!! And you confuse
yourself!!!  While Venusaur has 100HP, a DEFINITE 60 damage attack, and a
better power, Vileplume sits around doing 40 or 80 damage in the late game!!!

Water:Gyarados- It's like a Stage 2, but it's not. Blah blah you know the
rest.  Sorry to:Blastoise, Poliwrath

Fighting:  Hitmonchan- A Really Good Basic.  etc. Sorry to:  Machamp, Rhydon

Fire: Ninetales- It's a stage 1.  80 damage, close enough to charizard.
Discard 1.  So what?  A Fire deck SHOULD have many energies anyway.  And
Charizard is a waste of energy.  Sorry to:Arcanine, Charmeleon,
Maybe.....Charizard.  Charizard's power is no good compared to many others.

Psychic:  Kadabra and Alakazam:tie- Kadabra is the highest damage dealer of
the psychics. VERY IMPORTANT  because of the fact that many have resistance
to Psy, especially because of the colorless that go in ANY DECK!!!  Alakazam
for the power.  Sorry to:  Fossil Haunter, Mime, and Jynx(replaced by Mime)
Mime is not a good attacker. It can do 10,20, 30, 40, etc.

Electric:  Electabuzz-The best electric,no doubt about it.  Basic, 70 HP.Like
Zapdos, it is a basic but less HP.  it is MUCH faster.  10 damge with a
paralyze chance.  Let's compare Thunderpunch('buzz) and Thunder(Zapdos).
Thunder costs twice as much and does about double the damage. Thu'Punch may
do 40, and Thunder always does 60.  Thunderpunch may hurt self 10, and for
Thunder it's 30.  Look at it this way.  Punch:may do 10 to a 70hp pokemon.
Thunder: may do 30(!) to a 90 hp pokemon.  If you are unlucky (me) you need 7
punches to kill yourself, but ONLY 3 Thunders.  Also 'buzz has a stay alive
attack(paralyzing), but Zapdos has a last resort(100HP) attack.  Sorry to:
Raichu

Colorless:???  Some good are Jigglypuff(to start with), Chansey(stall),
Kangaskhan(attack or draw), Dodrio(not waste energy),
Clefable(metronome),Pidgeot, etc.   Sorry to:  ???Pidgey,Pidgeotto
