10. Hitmonchan- He barely makes this list because why???  Because fighting has died thats why.  But, he is still exceptional.

9. TR Golbat- Cool Pokémon power plus it is like a Hitmonlee only better.

8. Mr. Mime- Great staller with a cool pokémon power.  It's move is very devastating late in the game.

7. Tauros- Now you may be thinking why but really, look at this.  For a dble colorless, you could do 20-30 damage.  Then for 3 energy you do 20+ the damage on you.  That is has potential to do 70 damage.  That is very good.

6. Wigglytuff- Great guy to use early in the game because fast damage will really hurt your opponent's Pokémon with smaller amounts of hp.

5. Blastoise-Another great guy to use at the beginning.  Wigglytuff and Blastoise are pretty much the same except the Pokémon Power which is why Blastoise is ranked higher.

4. Scyther- Scyther would be ranked higher but some Pokémon are better than it. Yes a great colorless guy with free retreat cost, and resistance but still there are others....

3. Clefable- I Have no idea why this even isn't on some of your lists!!!!  1 energy to do 100 damage!!!  That really hurts Charizard and other GREAT (yeah right) Pokemon.

2. Electabuzz- The 2nd best basic in my opinion in the game.  2 great moves.

And in number 1 is...........DITTO.  Now, you may be thinking why. Well, i'll tell you.  Ditto could crush Haymakers so fast.  Against Electabuzz, 30-40 on turn 1 or a total of 60 to Hitmonchan on turn 2.  Or even fossil magamar, wait a minute i forgot him.  He would be like #4, oh well,
20-30 damage to it on turn 1.

    Well there u have it
