I would like to say something about Growlithe and Arcanine. My brother
says that they suck. Well, lets look at Growlithe Basic 60 HP Attacks:Flare,1
colorless,1fire. Weakness Water Resistance none retreat cost 1.
    Well, a water could take it down easily but just get a couple potions.
What I like to do is put Growlithe on my bench and attached an energy to him.
Then I would keep him on it till I get 3 energy cards on him. you'll see why.
I attack with Flare and my next turn I evolve into Arcanine. Now let's look
at him. 100 HP. Evolves from Growlithe. 2 attacks. 1st: Flamethrower. even
though it makes you discard one fire energy it still does 50 which can take
out I think all of grass in one hit.    Which is awesome! 2nd attck:Take Down
Arcanine does 30 damage to itself but does 80 HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which I
know can take out any grass pokemon even with a defender! AND can take out a
lot of other pokemon.  Even though his retreat cost t is 3 you wont need it
with 100hp. or if you got a lot of potions.
So I would like to know what you think if my brother is right that the card
sucks or if I'm right about the card being awesome.
