I am Giovanni's son. I have seen a very annoying card in the game(that is, Murkrow) and I have a way of getting around it.
             A card known as Dark Alakazam will defeat Murkrow. It's hard to believe, but here's how it's done:
1. Dark Alakazam is Active. Murkrow uses Mean Look with Dark Vileplume out to keep Dark Alakazam stuck. Dark Alakazam uses Teleport Blast and retreats anyhow.
 
2. Promote a Sneasel as your Active Poke'mon and use Beat Up to kill Murkrow. Keep killing your opponent's opposition and beat everything down with Sneasel. If Murkrow sticks Sneasel in place, that's just fine. You can beat it anyhow.
 
3. Say Dark Vileplume isn't used with this deck so Gold Berry can be abused. Well, not a problem. Slowking can be on your Bench to keep Gold Berry off your back most of the time.
 
       Hopefully, a strategy like this will work. E-mail me at Murkrow@homestead.com either way. Adios!
