Here are the top 10 pokemon and trainers
10. Fossil Magmar (High hp, basic pokemon, 40
with 2 energies, can poison)
9. Gengar (great power, ok attack, low
retreat, no weakness, fighting resistance)

7. Articuno (great attacks, no weakness,
fighting resistance)
6. Venusaur (good power, good attack, high hp)
5. Alakazam (awesome power for stall decks)
4. Mr. Mime (probably most feared card, great

3. Blastoise (best power it has a whole deck
named after it, pretty good attack)
2. Electabuzz (40 with 2 energies, first turn
attack can paralyze, high hp, basic pokemon.
1. Hitmonchan (first turn attack for 20, high
hp, basic pokemon, the most popular decks in tournaments- haymakers (which are
very powerful) were named after hitmonchan's original name for it's special
punch attack- bet you didn't know that)
Trainers
10. Pokemon Center (great for stall
decks)
9. Gust of Wind (to kill easy target or stupid aerodactyl or
muk)
8. Computer Search (can get any card but discard cost a little
high)
7. Item Finder (to use your favorite trainers all the
time)
6. Energy retrieval (great if u have just been super
energy removaled)
5. Energy Removal (great for double colorless energies
and pokemon with high energy requirements)
4. Pokemon Breeder (best for evolving your blastoise
faster and easier, also great to evolve machop to machamp since machoke really
sucks)
3. Super Energy Removal (Awesome card, although you have to
discard an energy of your own, it prevents your opponent from probably
attacking you next turn except for rain dance decks)
2. Professor Oak (use with not many cards in hand, great
for rain dance and haymakers)
1. Bill (Best trainer ever, common card, no discard
costs, always include 4 in any deck.
