Hey Pojo,and all of your fans, today I've got a strategy for the trainer
card, Gust of Wind.  This is about when you should use Gust of Wind.

First, if the defending pokemon is annoying you, blow it away for a wimp that
you can face for a while.

Second, use it to bring out a powerful pokemon that you know will cause you
trouble later in the game.  This is best to do if you kill the new pokemon in
1 shot before it kills you.

Third, if you are low on energy, bring out a Snorlax or something with a high
retreat cost.  Then, your opponent will need to sacrifice energy for the sake
of Snorlax retreating, use up a switch, or wait a few turns till they get a
way to save him.

Fourth, this isn't always a great idea, but if the opponent has built up
someone w/a lot of energy, you can KO that pokemon to make their time and
efforts go to waste.

If used correctly, Gust of Wind can be a very dangerous and annoying card to
your opponent.  I hope this helps.  As always, I'm open to any comments at
