10. Sabrina's Haunter (Gym Heroes)
Comments: Sabrina's Haunter has no retreat, no
weakness, fighting resistance, and an attack, Night Spirits, which can be
really solid. No reason why this one shouldn't be where it is.

9. Electabuzz
Comments: I dislike haymaker Pokemon (or as I
like to call them, GAYmaker Pokemon), but 'Buzz is okay, and 'Chan is great.
Thunderpunch isn't bad with the 70HP, but the double retreat is bad.
He's a solid attacker and a bad retreater.

8. Misty's Golduck
Comments: I love Electrobeam. Even if you
have to discard Energy cards with it. Attach a water energy and a
psychic energy to power both attacks at once, and then fire away.
Wonderful Pokemon.

7. Dark Blastoise
Comments: In a Rain Dance deck (my favorite deck),
Rain Dance the four water energy cards here and KO the hay Pokemon each in one
hit. I love this Pokemon.

6. Dark Raichu
Comments: Surprise Thunder is great. One
heads for 10 each to your opponent's bench, and if you're really lucky, two
heads for 20 each to your opponent's bench. 70HP and a low retreat are
good too.

5. Dark Wartortle
Comments: Doubleslap kinda sucks, but I love
Mirror Shell. It protects the wimpy 60HP and weakness to lightning,
making Dark Wartortle a solid Pokemon.
Rating: 8.1
4. Hitmonchan
Comments: In my definate opinion, he's the only
solid hay Pokemon. Jab for a first turn 20 (40 to a Jiggly or Clefairy),
and Special Punch is solid too. Bad retreat cost, but he's a wrecking
ball until death.

3. Gengar
Comments: Gengar has been a favorite of mine for
quite a while now. Curse is great, and Dark Mind is wonderful.
Excellent bench killer.
Rating: 9.5
2. Squirtle (Team Rocket)
Comments: Why Squirtle? 'Cause he's broken!
Think about it. One retreat is solid, 50HP, and an all colorless Shell
Attack. He's fits into pretty much any deck (I even used him as a
starting Pokemon in my Alakazam deck once), and he works really well with a
first turn Lass and DCE. I simply love this Pokemon!

1. Blastoise
Comments: Why on earth would anyone ask me for a
reason of why I think Blastoise is the game's best Pokemon? Rain Dance
is totally broken, and Hydro Pump is wonderful. Not to mention, a full
100HP and this guy's really the best Pokemon ever.
