Here are a bunch of comparisons of similar cards that lead to the same
question: Which one is better?
Scyther vs. Farfetch d
Scyther has 20 more HP, no retreat cost, better weakness, and grass is better
than colorless because there are pokemon that have weakness to grass but no
pokemon have a weakness to colorless. Winner: Scyther by a mile
Chansey vs. Kangaskhan
Chansey has more HP but Kangaskhan has Fetch, a very powerful card drawing
tool. If your deck needs lots of card drawing, like a Raindance deck, use
Kangaskhan. If your card drawing isn t as important as stalling, use Chansey.
Winner: Tie
Gyarados vs. Dewgong
Dewgong evolves from Seel, who is pretty good. Gyarados evolves from MagiKRAP
who makes a better sinkplug than a fighter. Gyarados has more HP, resistant to
fighting, and weakness to grass, which gives a water deck more variety. Dewgong
uses colorless energy as well. If your deck is an all water deck, use Gyarados.
Otherwise use Dewgong. Overall, Gyarados is better. Winner: Gyarados
Ninetails vs. Arcanine vs. Charizard
Ninetails and Arcanine are level 1, Charizard is Level 2.
Advantage: Ninetails and Arcanine.
Ninetails has retreat cost of 1, the other two have retreat cost of three.
Advantage: Ninetails.
Ninetails discards one energy for 80, Arcanine does 30 to himself to do 80, and
Charizard discards two energy for 100.
Advantage: Ninetails
Charizard has 120 HP, Arcanine has 100, Ninetails has 80.
Advantage: Charizard
Charizard costs $50.00
Advantage: Ninetails and Arcanine.
Best to Worst: Ninetails, Arcanine, Charizard
Pokemon Trader vs. Computer Search
Computer Search is much more versatile and a bit more useful. Pokemon Trader
has a less demanding payment, but Computer Search works very well with
Professor Oak. Deadly Combo. Winner: Computer Search
Pokemon Trader vs. Pokeball
Pokeball is very unreliable. If you desperately need a certain pokemon who s
hiding in your deck, and if you flip a tails, it could be a disaster. Use
Pokemon Trader. Winner: Pokemon Trader
Switch vs. Scoop Up
Switch is better with Evolution Cards but Scoop Up is better with Basic Pokemon
because it takes off all of the damage counters. Scoop Up is a combonation of
Switch, Pokemon enter, and Devolution Spray. Winner: Scoop Up
Base Set Booster Pack vs. Jungle Booster Pack
Get those Base Set boosters wile you still can. They re more valuable, and the
cards are much better. Jungle is only good for Scyther, Mr. Mime, Kangaskhan,
and Vileplume. Base Set has Hitmonchan, Chansey, Alakazam, Blastoise, Gyarados,
the insanely valuable but amazingly crappy Charizard, and many more.
Winner: Base Set
Blackout vs. Brushfire vs. Overgrowth vs. Power Reserve vs. Water Blast vs. Zap
Blackout has Hitmonchan. Brushfire has Ninetails. Overgrowth has Gyarados.
Power Reserve has Kangaskhan. Water Blast has Vaporeon. Zap has Mewtwo.
Blackout is the most powerful with Hitmonchan, the best card in the game, 4
Energy Removals, and 1 Super Energy Removal. Mini-Haymaker.
In second place is Brushfire, an good deck but not as good as #1.
In third is Power Reserve, especially if you put in the Jigglypuffs and
Wigglytuffs.
In fourth, Overgrowth. if you like to evolve, this deck is for you.
In fifth, Zap, this deck isn t that great. Lightning is too weak.
In dead last, Water Blast. Vaporeon sucks, and this deck is just too slow and
too weak.
If you aren t a beginner and already have lots of cards, spend your money on
booster packs or singles.
