Dear Pojo,
This is my first article, so please post it.
I'd like to compare the two greatest card on earth. Gyarados and
Blastoise.

Blastoise 100 HP
Pokemon Power: Rain Dance
Add one water energy to a water Pokemon from your hand.
Hydro Pump: 3 water energy. Does forty damage plus ten more for every
extra water energy. Energy after the second don't count.  Retreat: 3
colorless Weakness: lightning Resistance: None

Gyarados 100 HP
Dragon Rage 3 water 50 damage
Bubblebeam 4 water 50/50 chance of paralasis 40 damage
weakness plant resistanc Fighting retreat cost 3
So now that you know the facts lets look at this
HP: 100 to 100 Tie
Power: Gyarados has none so Blastoise wins. Score 1/0
Attack: 40 to 50. Blastoise can be more powerful, but costs extra
energy, but rain dance makes this easy. But Gyarados has paralasis
chance which means all the gold in the world. Which can set up Gyarados
up for the kill. Gyarados wins. Score 1/1
Weakness/Resistance: Blastoise has weakness to lightning while Gyarados
has plant, none of them have advantage but Gyarados has the resistance
to fighting, which is important because all the haymakers. Gyarados
wins. score 1/2
Retreat: tie!
So Gyarados wins! E-mail me with objections or anything of the sort at
