What's up?
I haven't been writing articles lately because of
the Christmas Holidays. I got the Poke'mon Trading Card Game for Christmas(the
only Poke'mon - related item I got and asked for).
Anyway, on to The Powers of the Underrated Cards!
1. Energy Search
Only recently I started to use this card.
It's better than you think. You can get a Basic Energy from your deck with no
setbacks. I think that the reason it's underrated is because it can't get
Double Colorless Energy........
2. Nidoqueen
In response to the article about Top 10 Base Thru
Rocket, having 4 Nidokings on the Bench to do Boyfriends for 100 is too much.
The most Stage 2 Poke'mon that should be on your Bench is 2, and 2 Nidokings
on the Bench can do a decent 60 damage with Boyfriends.
3. Beedrill
Free retreat. No Retreat Cost. Fighting
Resistance. Can attack for a chance of 60, but with the coin flip factor
it can also do nothing. Poison Sting is its best attack. Isn't this something
like Scyther? Stage 2, yes, but just use Poke'mon Breeder! What if there's a
Dark Vileplume in play so that you can't use Trainers? Have a Muk in play
also! If Muk isn't availble, use Goop Gas Attack! If neither is availible.....
too bad!
4. Dark Dugtrio
Sinkhole gives those free retreat Poke'mon a hard
time, especially if there is more than one Dark Dugtrio! Knock Down can do 40
damage with a tails flip, and 20 damage with a heads flip(I must admit that I
am more fond of heads than tails, but whichever one is neccesary,well.....)
5. Dark Machamp
Dark Machoke is good, but Dark Machamp is
overlooked, for some reason. Fling gets rid of the Poke'mon that is vital to
your opponent's victory. Gust of Wind will help with this. As for Mega Punch,
30 for 2 Fighting Energy isn't bad, but useless against Fighting Resistance
Poke'mon.
I hope these cards in particular see more play!
