Card Strats for Neo Cards
By: Sean Tobb
As many of you know (especially
if you have read the latest version of the pojo magazine) neo cards are
going to be the next wave of pokemon. And while most of the cards favor
water and plant, their are still some awesome all around cards for every deck
in my opinion.
Pii-this is the preevolution to clefairy.
For one thing, you have to get through the standard baby rule to even damage
it, but for another, it's Pipipi attack is like a free oak you can use as many
times as you want. Pipipi allows you to draw 7 if you shuffle your hand
into your deck. And if you didn't know, the standard baby rule is that
an opponent always flips to hit a baby, tails is a miss.
Elekid-for a fighting deck like mine, this is
music to my ears. While not only having the standard baby rule, they
also have an awesome attack requiring no energy called naughty punch.
They use it as their pokemon power, and they can attack from the bench,
flipping a coin for naughty punch. If they get heads, they do 20 damage
to the opponents active pokemon. They also have pretty good hit points
for a preevolution.
Clefairy (Neo addition)- In my
oppinion this is better than the base set clefairy. For one thing, it
doesn't require so much energy, and while it's attack isn't so great, it has
high hp and it can do everybody dance which can pump you up, especially in a
raindance deck, but anyone could benifit. Everyone dance allows you to
flip a coin for every pokemon you have in play and for each heads draw one
energy.
Guraigaa-This is supposeddly the new scyther,
which I find hard to believe, but I do believe that he will definitely find a
role in fast action fighters. For one energy he can posion for 10 and
can hit for 20 for 2 energy. He also has the 0 retreat quality of
scyther, but he has a different role to play. For one thing, he has
different strengths/weaknesses and he also boasts a quicker attack. But if you
poison for 10 your turn, then do 20 the next they will take 40 which means he
is actually doing more damage, but it is fighting type, which is the main
reason people use scyther, is because it is resistant to fighting...
This is simply a guide for beefing up fighting
decks, because in my oppinion these could help anyone who has a fighting deck
and needs more speed and strength.
But some other good cards are....
Meganiumu-This one has an attack for 4 grass that
automatically puts them to sleep, which is awesome in itself, but what if I
told you you only had to put on 2 instead??? This pokemons power duplicates
all grass energy (energyx2). If this mother was hooked up on a 210 cable
with a venasaur, you could do unimaginable damage!!!
The final one to speak of are these two!!
Magumarashi-He can permanently burn an enemy, so
when they retreat they still die!!
Rantaan-He can do dazling light for 20, but his
pokemon power allows him to attach as many water as you want and add 10 damage
for each. In a raindance deck with everybody dance, then retreat, this
guy could do 150 damage if he needed to!!
-Good Luck
