In this three part series, I'll put what I think the ten best common,
uncommon, and rares are.  My lists include only Base, Jungle, and Fossil. 
Let me say one more thing.  This is MY opinion.  People will probably
disagree with me.  In fact, I'll probably disagree with myself in a couple
months.  Now, without further ado...

The Top Ten Common Pokemon:

10.  Ponyta- 40 HP's not too good, but an all-colorless attack capable of
doing 20 damage is.  The second attack's good too, and no discarding.

9.  Bulbasaur- Leech Seed not only does 20, but restores some of his HP.  His
evolutions are pretty good too.

8.  Koffing- 50 HP is good, and Foul Gas does a status effect no matter how
you flip.

7.  Charmander- 50 HP is still good, and his second attack does 30 for one
fire and one colorless.  If only you didn't have to discard.

6.  Machop- 50 HP, and 20 damage for one fighting.  He's nice and fast.

5.  Psyduck- First attack stops your opponent playing Trainer Cards, which
can slow him down.  50 HP nice.

4.  Doduo- Resistance to fighting, 50 HP, free retreat.  As long as you flip
a couple of heads he's great.

3.  Exeggcute- Hypnosis is okay.  Leech Seed does the same as Bulbasaur, but
he has 10 more HP.

2.  Spearow- Resistance to fighting, 50 HP, free retreat, and two decent
attacks.

1.  Jigglypuff- First attack is okay.  Pound is pretty good, as is a
reistance to Psychic.  60 HP and evolving into Wigglytuff is pretty nice as
well.
