kazzam's chain is good but I think
it is the best one.

My Response: What the heck? Who do you think the
"Damage Swap" deck is named after? I'm not even sure
you have the card, thanks to the fact you can't spell
his name correctly...

Dallas says: Most people misunderstand his pokemon
power it
says: As often as you like during your turn (Before
you attack), you
may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your pokemon to
another as long as
you don't knock out that pokemon. This power can't be
used if Alakazzam
is Asleep, Confused, or Parylyzed. Notice that it does
not say which
player's pokemon to move your damage to so you can
move all of your pokemon's
damage to the opponet as long as you don't knock that
pokemon out.

My Response: Um...no. Two reasons:
A. Too broken. Only an idiot would design a TCG card
that is a direct damage with no penalties whose only
cost is to heal yourself. If I'm not mistaken,
Wizards has put out rulings specifically saying that
you can't do that.
B. You're reading it wrong. If you want to get
technical, "another" refers to the clause preceded by
"one", which is "of your pokemon". This means that,
according to the English language, the sentence omits
the "of your Pokemon" after another to avoid
redundance, although it allows for people to infer
incorrectly that it is supposed to read "from one of
your Pokemon to another Pokemon", which allows for
broken gameplay that forces errata.
In other words, "another" defaults to "another of your
Pokemon", the way the card is worded...
