Hey people It's UltimateTrainer2000 here again. As I promised before I would
do something about little poliwag, and evolution. Here it is... POLIWAG VS
NIDORAN (M). I am using my special home made point rating system to determine
who's better. worst 0--10 best. After adding the points I take away the
lowest then divide by the # of stats left (usually 5). After that I round to
the nearest tenth.

NIDORAN (M), AND EVOLUTIONS

NIDORAN (M)
HP: 40 HP= 4.5 (It's a basic pokemon, and this is a good rating for a basic)
ATTACKS: HORN HAZARD 30 DAMAGE- (G)- Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does
nothing.= 2.5 (It has a 50% chance of not hitting at all)
SPEED= 10 (all basics should have this rating)
WEAKNESS:psychic=0(if it has a weakness it gets no points in this category)
RESISTANCE: none=0(If it has no resistance it's a big fat zero here)
RETREAT COST: (C)=7.5 ( -2.5 for each energy required for this).

AVERAGE= 4.9

NIDORINO

HP: 60 HP= 7.5
ATTACKS: DOUBLE KICK 30x DAMAGE-(G)(C)(C) Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30
damage times the number of heads.=4.5  
HORN DRILL 50 DAMAGE-(G)(G)(C)(C)=5.0
ATTACK TOTAL AVERAGE=6.0 (I only put this when there are 2 attacks find both
attacks average rating, and ad 0.2 points for having 2 attacks).
SPEED= 3.8
WEAKNESS-Psychic= 0
RESISTANCE-None=0
RETREAT COST-(C)=7.5

TOTAL AVERAGE= 5.0 (This was close due to speed)

NIDOKING

HP: 90 HP= 8.0
ATTACKS- THRASH 30+ DAMAGE-(G)(C)(C)-Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does
30 damage+ 10 more damage; if tails, this attack does 30 damage, and Nidoking
does 10 damage to itself= 4.5
TOXIC 20 DAMAGE-(G)(G)(G)- The defending pokemon is now Poisoned. It now
takes 20 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if it was
already Poisoned)=4.5
ATTACK TOTAL AVERAGE=4.7
SPEED=5.5
WEAKNESS-Psychic=0
RESISTANCE-None=0
RETREAT COST-(C)(C)(C)=2.5

TOTAL AVERAGE=4.1!! IT'S WORSE THAN THE FORMS BEFORE IT!!!!!!

NIDORAN(M), NIDORINO, NIDOKING TOTAL AVERAGE= 4.8 Hmm that's below average.

POLIWAG, AND EVOLUTIONS

POLIWAG
HP: 40 HP= 4.5
ATTACKS- WATER GUN 10+ DAMAGE-(W)- Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for
each (W) Energy attached to Poliwag, but not used to pay for this attacks
Energy cost. You can't ad more than 20 damage in this way= 2.0
SPEED=10
WEAKNESS-Grass=0
RESISTANCE-None=0
RETREAT COST-(C)=7.5

TOTAL AVERAGE=4.8 (That's good)

POLIWHIRL

HP- 60 HP= 7.5
ATTACKS-AMNESIA-(W)(W)-choose 1 of the Defending pokemon's attacks. That
pokemon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn.=2.5
DOUBLE SLAP 30x DAMAGE-(W)(W)(C)-Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage
times the number of heads.=5.0
ATTACK TOTAL AVERAGE=4.0
SPEED= 4.0
WEAKNESS-GRASS=0
RESISTANCE-None=0
RETREAT COST-(C)=7.5

TOTAL AVERAGE=4.6 (It's is probably the speed that made it worse than it's
basic form)

POLIWRATH

HP- 90 HP= 8.0
ATTACKS- WATER GUN 30+ DAMAGE-(W)(W)(C)-Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage
for each (W) Energy attached to Poliwag, but not used to pay for this attacks
Energy cost. You can't ad more than 20 damage in this way=4.0
WHIRLPOOL 40 DAMAGE-(W)(W)(C)(C)- If the defending pokemon has any Energy
attached to it, choose 1 of them, and discard it.=7.0 (This is a great
attack! You ge to discard your opponents energy without the trainer card).
ATTACK TOTAL AVERAGE= 5.7
SPEED=3.8
WEAKNESS-GRASS=0
RESISTANCE-None=0
RETREAT COST-(C)(C)(C)=2.5

TOTAL AVERAGE=4! NOT AGAIN!!!!! WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!!!! THE FORMS BEFORE IT
ARE BETTER !?!?!?

POLIWAG, POLIWHIRL, POLIWRATH TOTAL AVERAGE=4.5 (Not good not good)

THE FINAL RESULTS....

POLIWAG TEAM=4.5
NIDORAN(M) TEAM=4.8

AMAZING!! NIDORAN(M) TEAM WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though the stats say the opposite I still like the POLIWAG TEAM because
speed usually isn't a concern of mine (I think that's why they lost). Maybe
I'll use the NIDORAN(M) TEAM more often. PLEASE MAIL ALL QUESTIONS, REPLIES,
and hatemail to UltTrainer2000@aol.com

THIS IS ULTIMATE TRAINER2000 SIGNING OUT!!!!!

PS: I'll have to work on this system of rating. Next time I'll do something
concerning weedle, and his evolutions.
