Well as we all know, Gym Heroes is comin...so I thought I would provide a
look into this set........Here we go!

Blaine's Moltres....5 energy to attack?..well at least it does 90 damage.
Even with a tails on the flip, its almost like a Scoop Up, except he goes to
the deck not oyur hand. Hey, at least the Energy goes with him!

Brock's Rhydon.....Guarding the Bench huh? Not the best Power out there..plus
Lariat is to chancy for its cost. Better Cards exist.

Erika's Clefable...Fairy Power like a Scoop up, though only has a %50 chance
of workin. Moon Impact not a bad, could be better for the cost though.

Erika's Dragonair..Only 1 attack? No Power? Unusual to say the least. Plus
not even that powerful. Then again, it IS a colorless attack. Easier to power
up.

Erika's Vileplume.. Now THIS card I like. Pollen Defense is great. The coin
flip is only a minor drawback, considering it works even if Vileplume is
KO'ed or Asleep, etc.  Mega Drain is solid, plus can keep him out there for
quite a while longer.( unless your fightin a Fire type) It would be nicer if
it did a little more damgag for the cost though But still good.

Surge's Electabuzz..Hey! a Buzz thats Holo! Charge is like MP Mewtwos Energy
Absorption. Discharge is great considering you only need 1 energy to get
started. Nice card.

Surge's Fearow..Repeating Drill, not bad but not the best either. 5 coin
flips? A somewhat better chance to do decent damage. Clutch not bad if opp.
is Poisoned. Average Card

Surge's Magneton..Energy Charge not bad..but you need it to power up Mega
Shock. A bit much to do 50 damage, but probably the best Magneton out there.

Misty's Seadra... W for 20 is good, WWW for guaranteed 30 and possible 90 is
pretty good too. Better Hp then Fossil. Nice.

Misty's Tentacruel..Flee is sorta unecessary, but ok if you are facin someone
like Nidoking. Jellyfish Poison is cool with a guaranteed status effect and
30 damage. Also better then Fossil counterpart.

Rocket's Hitmonchan..Crosscounter rox. Deal double what you took in damage to
the defending Pokemon? Ouch. Magnum Punch is like special Punch, but does
more damage for the same cost. Lower Hp though, so use wisely.

Rocket's Moltres...Rebirth helps save him...you dont have to worry when hes
KO'ed. Fire Wall pretty good for cost. Plus the extra 10 damage (or 20) helps
even more.

Rocket's Scyther...Only a 50% chance at taking damage? Not bad. Blinding
Scythe poweful. Less Hp though. Not quite as fast. Interesting

Sabrina's Gengar..Whoa there! I cant believe the Power! Pain Amplifier
is....too good to be true. Adding a damage counter to EACH opp. Pokemon that
already had one? Wow. Call of the Night is powerful, however could benefit
your opponent if both coins are heads. Would Combo greatly with Fossil Gengar.

Brock....Pretty good. Helps everyone on your side.

Erika...Like a Bill, yet benefits your opp. too.

Lt. Surge...Like a Switch

Misty....no comment

TRT........a good Disruptor, but would be better if you could see the cards..

Brock's Golem.....I'm sure people wont like this line either but......Rock
Slide good for bench destruction. Fissure is powerful, and faster then
Fossil. 90 Hp is better too.

Brock's Onix...What the? Bind is ok but Tunneling? Not worth it unless in a
bench destroyer deck. Next...

Brock's Rhyhorn....Not bad....less Hp then Jungle, a more powerful attack but
with a drawback... not sure how to rate it....

Brock's Sandslash......pretty weak..Needles only does 10 and requires a coin
flip. Sandstorm not bad.......but needs improvement.

Brock's Zubat......interesting....thats all I gotta say

Erika's Clefairy...Kinda like Kangaskhan...but weaker

Erika's Victreebell....Ah! Heres the GOOD Victreebell. Fragrence Trap not bad
if opp. was a Fire type. Razor Leaf great. GGG for 50. No flip. Good card.

Surge's Buzz....Another one? Hey he has Charge also. Electric Current is
ok...if your Benched Pokemon need energy badly... I think the First one was
better.

Surge's Raichu...Mega Punch Ok. Thunderbolt powerful, but costly...Hey! combo
with the Second Surge's Buzz (the one above) to get needed energy. and Switch.

Misty's CLoyster....well, hes better then Fossil. Shell Armor ok, Triple
Cannon ok if good flips.

Misty's Goldeen...a Rare card? This Card sux. Big time

Misty's Poliwrath.....Hmm...interesting....If you play an all water bench
destroyer...then he would be great.. Other then that, i would stick with the
Base one.

Misty's Tentacool...the only good thing about him is Jellyfish Pod. Use it to
get who you want then let em go.

Rocket's Snorlax.....Interesting.....Use Collapse then use his
Power....weird, but could be effective.

Sabrina Venomoth....not bad to heal with...maybe....only 1 head for confusion
out of two? ok i guess.

Blaines Growlithe...uh...not very good. Stick with base.

Blaine's Kangaskhan....hmm...a bit risky...but so Is Jungle....your choice..

Blaines Magmar....RRR and discard 5 cards? WAY too risky. Fossil and Base are
much better.

Brock's Geodude..well it still kinda sucks, but more reliable then fossil

Brock's Golbat...ok...1 for 20 is ok...3 for 30 alright...bench damage to
yourself....not good.....better Hp though

Brock's Graveler.....not bad.....a bit risky..but more Hp then fossil

Brock's Lickitung...less Hp then Jungle, but better anywayz. More Power to
him!

Erika's Dratini....Power good, attack not good...its a tossup

Erika's Exeggcute....Hmm....Egg Bomb risky, but Deflector ok...Jungle might
be better...

Erika's Exeggutor....He's like an Oak..for 1 Psy energy. Stomp not bad.
more Relieable than Jungle. Yet less damage potential

Erika's Gloom Lv 24. Wow. Healing Pollen is great. Should you flip heads, you
get to remove 4 damage counters (40 damage) Magic Pollen is interesting. A
successfull coin flip will get you ANY status effect placed on the def.
Pokemon.  Good card, but a tad risky

E. Gloom, LV. 44. Not Good. Guaranteed status effect is nice, but not when
that same effect is placed on you at the same time. 70 Hp not to bad thought

Erika's Oddish, Lv. 12. Hey, hes kinda like Charizard with Photosynthesis.
But, since hes a basic, its only good for him not Gloom and Vileplume.
A decent basic. though

Erika's Weepinbell, LV. 26, Flytrap not bad, kinda like a GOW. Drool is
basic, nothin special here.

E.'s Weepinbell LV. 30 Here we go. Sleep poison is great, while not dealin
damage, it guarentees sleep and poison. Np Flip. Vine Whip is good. Good
Evolution here.

Surge's Magnemite, LV. 10. What a terrible magnemite. Removal Pulse would be
good, if he had more then 30 HP!!!!!! Con. Pulse not even worth it.

Surge's Raticate.... Only 1 for Super Fang? And 70 Hp? Better then base
thats for sure.

Surge's Spearow, LV 8: 1 for 20? Good. 30 HP? Bad. Bad outweighs the good
here.

Misty's Poliwhirl. Rapids is pretty decent, except for the flip. Water Punch
needs flips too. More Hp though......

Misty's Psyduck...Terrible. Fossil and Rocket are much better.

Misty's Seaking. Average. Like Jungle, but effects a Benched Pokemon. Maybe.

Misty's Starmie...Good here, even though both attacks can do the same amount
of damage. Only W to get oyu started and 80 HP for him. A stage 1 1. Possible
Paralyze. Nice

Misty's Tentacool. LV 16 Whoa there. Crystal Beam can really hurt.....not
bein able to add an energy next turn will really slow you opponent down..IF
it works. Use wisely.....

Sabrina's Haunter...Only effective if you run alot of her Gengar line..and
flip alot of heads..

Sabrina's Jynx. Put em to sleep, then wake em up. Use the base one. This one
isnt worth it

Sabrina's Slowbro. Naptime can help save him, S. Headbutt powerful (KO those
MP Mewtwos!!) but you cant use it next turn. Headbutt then Nap i suppose.

Blaine's Charmander...R to deal 10 damage and remove an opp.'s energy? Not
bad but a little expensive. Slash is ok

Blaine's Growlithe, LV 15. Hurts all Grass Pokemon on the Opp. bench? Would
be better if Weakness was factored in!

Blaine's Ponyta...40 Hp is kinda low, but Agility is there.......

Blaine's Tauros. Hmm. Lotsa flipping needed. But higher HP....anyones call.

Blaine's Vulpix, LV 9.  Well Tail Fan is ok, 40 Hp low, But Natural Healing
could keep her out a bit longer

Brock's Geodude, LV 13. Hook shot not bad, but 40 Hp negates its effectiveness

Brock's Mankey, LV 10. Taunt, AKA GOW. Light Kick is just that.

Brock's Mankey, LV 12. Fidget not bad if you are not getting what you need in
your hands. Karate Chop ok, but 40 Hp........

Brock's Onix...Hello! 100 Hp for a BASIC? A COMMON BASIC? Bellow ok, Rock
Throw Solid, Combo With Pewter Gym.

Brock's Rhyhorn, LV 29. Drill Tackle Cheap, and powerful, yet requires a
flip. Tough Call here.

Brock's Sandshrew, LV13 Mediocre

Brock's Sandshrew, LV 27, see above

Brock's Vulpix. Only 40 hp, but a quick R for 20 attack.

Brock's Zubat. LV 11.: Average

Erika's Bellsprout, LV 12...Not Bad for the costs, but low Hp

Erika's Bellsprout, LV 15...Terrible. A pokemon with only 50 Hp does not need
a self-damaging attack...expecially such a weak one.

Erika's Exeggcute, LV 12. Eggsplosion like Jungle Exeggutor, only smaller.
Psychic not bad.....low HP

Erika's Oddish, LV 15. Do 10 damage, remove a counter. Do 20, get a Heads,
remove a counter. Either way pretty good

Erika's Tangela....Higher Hp then base, but more expensive attack... hung
jury here

Surge's Magnemite, LV 12. Decent. Kinda like Base, without the Suicide

Surge's Pikachu...Pretty good, probably best non-promo one yet. Charge ok,
Lightning Tail decent.

Surge's Rattata...Bad. You would never get da chance to use a 40 damage Gnaw.

Surge's Spearow...Better then the other one, but more risky. 20 more Hp helps
though

Surge's Voltorb..What kind of wording is this? Flip one coin? Times # of
heads? Why not just say, Flip a coin if tails this attack does nothin? oh
well. Hes decent regardless.

Misty's Goldeen. no comment...

Misty's Horsea, Like Fossil, with a little more power

Misty's Poliwag..a little chancy, but a bit better...more HP

Misty's Seel: Might be better then base..sure it needs 1W, but more
damage..depends on the deck

Misty's Shellder..not quite as bad as fossil..but bad nonetheless

Misty's Staryu..Swift eh? Ok. A good Precursor to Starmie.

Sabrina's Abra...one of the better Abras

Sabrina's Drowzee:Ok i guess...better then Base and TR.

Sabrina's Gastly: ??

Sabrina's Mime.: Sleight of Hand can help if low on energy..thats about all
though

Sabrina's Slowpoke: Put yourself to sleep? Uh. id rather not

Sabrina's Venonat. Ok, but Removal Beam would be better without a flip

Blaine's Quiz... waste of time

Charity..Could be useful if your a Heavy hitter (say Blastoise or Venusaur)
against a jungle Mime.

No Removal Gym: Makes your opp. think twice about using that SER

Rocket's Training Gym: Ooh! Sneaky! Combo with Dark Muk to make retreat costs
sky high! (take that Scyther!)

Blaine's Last Resort...confusing

Brock's Training Method..get your needed evolutions!

Celadon City Gym...I assume its supposed to be Celadon since it talks about
Erika's Pokemon..not bad if playing against a status effect deck

Cerulean City Gym..Get away cheaper!

Erika's Maids...broken

Erika's Perfume..??

Good Manners...Good if your lacking basic Pokemon

Surge's Treaty..would be better if you got to choose.

TR. Minion., sneaky, but probably not worth it. 1 tails and your out of luck.

Misty's Wrath....could help deck yourself.

Pewter City Gym...This could change everything. Cards used to resist fighting
could be rendered useless (or at least not as useful) as resistence (which is
fighting's biggest problem) will not matter. What a card..

Recall...very interesting. Use any attack from a previous evolution? Could
also help against Mime.

Sabrina's ESP...probably best with Sabrina's Haunter

Secret Mission. Too bad you dont discard from you opp. hand!

Tickling Machine. Whats the point of this card? Not worth it

Vermilion City Gym: Kinda like a Pluspower thats always there...but may not
always work

Blaine's Gamble: Is just that..a gamble. And not a good one either.

Energy Flow: no comment

Misty's Duel: At least there's no flip

Narrow Gym. Shuts down Wiggly decks, sort of.

Sabrina's Gaze. Like an Oak, but can get you more then 7 cards if you have
more then 7.

Trash Exchange..not sure about this one...

Well there you have it! Gym Heroes. and my review of it Let me know what you
