Pojo,
Please post this.  This article is about good commons.  Most
people who play Pokèmon only care about the rares.  Well, there are
several good common cards out there.

PART ONE: Good common Pokèmon

Onix- High HP, great staller, Harden is an OK attack

Geodude- Many people think he sucks, but he can do a lot of damage with
lucky coin flips

Staryu- One water energy Slap tears through fire Pokèmon (well, most of
them)

Omanyte- Pokèmon Power: Clairvoyance(which makes your opponent play with
his or her hand face up) and an Imposter Prof. Oak can really mess things
up for your opponent

Shellder- OOPS! How'd that get in here?

Slowpoke- Even though he has no damaging attacks, Scavenge is an
automatic Itemfinder with discarding only one energy


Paras- Scratch is OK, but Spore automatically puts your opponent's
Pokèmon to sleep

Tangela- Poisonpowder poisons the Defending Pokèmon,

Jungle Pikachu- Fine HP, Spark is hits one of your opponent's Benched
Pokèmon

Rattata- One energy does twenty damage, resistance to Psychic

And now: the second place commons:
Jigglypuff- One energy Sleep



AND THE GREATEST COMMON IS:

Base Gastly- Just joking

Koffing- For two grass energies: Foul Gas, does 10 damage
Flip a coin.  If heads, the Defending Pokèmon is now Poisoned; if
tails, it is now Confused.

Part Two: Good Common Trainers will come later.  Those are only a few of
the good commons made.  Remember, this is just my opinion.

Sincerly,
Star Mario
