Hello there....its The JoZ once again......im here to voice MY opinions on
some of the most overrated and underrated cards in the Pokemon TCG....

Ok Lets start offf with some of the "overrated" cards.....

Scyther......Ok....let me start by sayin that Scyther isnt a bad
card.....just overused. This guy DOES NOT belong in EVERY deck.. Besides, the
chances of gettin this guy fully powered by turn 2 or 3 is slim..You need,
scyther, a DCE and a grass (or other) energy..Sure it would be great to have
this in a first hand, but its unlikely.....sure there are ways to aquire
these cards....but you would need to obtain others..such as comp search,
energy search etc. Again not very likely........

Articuno....this Bird is widely used in Raindance decks....sure hes
ok.......but hes far to energy intensive...3 W energy for only 30 damage? Why
settle for that when you could use a Base Gyarados and get 50 damage for the
same price?? Plus Blizzard has the chance to help your opponent by hurtin
YOUR bench...sure its a 50% chance...but still....

Moltres.....This guy wastes energy too..Yeah Wildfire can provide for a great
deck.(hahaha) in which the object is to deck your opponent....personally,
that wastes too much time....plus, you must consider that you need an
abundence of Fire energy for this deck to be successful...at least with the
Evil Psychic stalls no energy is required.....

GOW.....Ok, yeah GOW lets you switch an opponents Active and Defending
Pokemon...big deal...sure its effective when your an Electabuzz and you opp.
is a Hitmonchan...but thats about all.

Lapras....Also used in Raindance..he aint that bad..i mean he IS a
basic...but come on! 3 W energy for 30? Just like Articuno...and Confuse Ray?
Thats energy that should be on Blastoise.....

Wigglytuff: This guy is like Scyther...everyone thinks they can get one FULLY
POWERED ON TURN 2!!!!!! Again slim chance of that happenin You Need Jiggly,
Wiggly a DCE and Another energy....yeah REAL good chance of that....(plus u
need a full bench...uh huh.and the likelyhood of u gettin a Challenge! aint
much better)

Underrated:

The Whole Golem Line: I dont understand why everyone hates these guys..they
arent that bad. (except for Geodude) Graveler Does a soild 40 damage for
1FF..not bad.....plus for FF he can stall for time against lower level
hitters. (gee he can resist damage from the ever popular HITMONCHAN AND
ELECTABUZZ) Golem does a whoppin 60 Damage for1FFF...he needs less energy
then Blastoise and does the Same amount of Damage!!.. Sure he only has 80 hp
and is a stage 2...so is Alakazam yet he is praised as one of the best
Pokemon in the game..why? All becuz of his Power...(im not sayin that Kazam
sux) thats unfair..course retreat of 4 is not good

Poliwrath...This guy is one of the better Water Pokemon out there.yet people
ignore him..For 2WW he can act as an Energy Removal and deal a solid 40
damage thats pretty good why waste space with Removals when u could have him?
Plus a 50 damage Water Gun aint bad (sure its expensive but still good) 90 Hp
is solid plus not bein weak against Electabuzz is a plus.

Nidoqueen...A real Powerhouse. 2GG for 50? No Coin flip? hey not bad at all.
A DCE would help her immensly 90 again solid...psy weakness...a weakness 3
retreat...Switch anyone??

Snorlax....Why dont people like him? He is one of the best stallers in the
game.. His Power speaks for itself not bein affected by status changes? Thats
worth it right there...sure his attack is energy intensive and not very
powerful, but the possible Paralyze is ok.

Thankx For readin, i hope this will make some of you Think twice bout some of
the cards bein put down....
