Dang it!! I just finished my article and I got to do it again! Well I'm going to give you my 2 ce-- er... 30 dollars on the WHOLE ENTIRE TR SET!!! From Holo to Common. Gosh, this is gonna take me forever....*inhales for 30 minutes* HERE GOES!!!
Dark Alakazam His 60 HP isn't bad but his attacks impress me, Teleport Blast and Fossil Haunter make a good pair and Mind Shock can take away those Colorless Pokemon!! Boy... I was embarassed when that Rattata beat my Alakazam...
Dark Arbok I usually judge attacks by how much they take off, stare isn't that good but its effective on Dittos and Poison Vapor is just GREAT!! After adding all that up I found out it can do up to 70 damage for 3 grass.....wow.
Dark Blastoise Like always this guy always rox, his hydrocannon can take off up to 70 damage for the same cost of Venusaur's Solar Beam!!!! Rocket Tackle is fast and can have a Promo Mewtwo effect, taking off 40 on turn 2 plus an Agility effect. He's almost broken, him plus his good twin brother make a good combo.
Dark Charizard This guy isn't that good but he's okay since he can take off alot but if you're good at fliping tales then use Nail Flick and take off a measly 10 every turn....
Dark Dragonite, Giant Tail is extrememly unreliable but Summon Minions is good with Wigglytuff doin more damage but getting out Dark Dragonite will take time...
Dark Dugtrio He's okay but his HP, STINKS, its sad that a Weedle can beat him. SinkHole wont have much of an effect since he will already be KO'd by Scyther at that time.
Dark Golbat... ooooo sneaky. The perfect Pokemon that acts like Team Rocket. Add in a Sneak Attack and dress up as Team Rocket, dazzle your friends!!
Dark Gyarados, Ice Beam isn't much but Final Beam, wow. He's resistant to Hitmonchan which is good but I suggest using the Base One.
Dark Hypno: FINALLY! A Psychic Pokemon that can take off 100 away from a colorless. Wow, he really is something but his HP needs improvement.
Dark Machamp: You Tuff users, put that Challenge back in your deck since it wont matter if the guy fill his bench, Machamp will just Fling away.
Dark Magneton: Pretty much sux but screws your opponent, I would be pissed too if an electric energy was on Mew.
Dark Slowbro: Unreliable, but Pokemon Power is like a Nightly Garbage Run that gets cards in your hand.
Dark Vileplume: I smell a new archtype, he can stop about every deck that depends on Trainers. But it wont pose much of a threat since he has 60 HP, nut much but works.
Dark Weezing: The "perfect" status effect Pokemon, a Venusaur plus Pokemon center can have a great combo when using Mass Explostion when you have tons of Koffing.
Here Comes Team Rocket!: .........sell it
Rocket's Sneak Attack: Aren't you glad that the other guy no longer has an Oak? Oh.... well I am at least.
Rainbow Energy: Wow, this plus a Venusaur combo can be amazing. Provide energy for every type out there.
Ah.. god... as I put in my article (the other deleted one) my back hurts. here are the commons n uncommons
Dark Charmeleon: I just plain hate him. Fireball discards energy either way and is unreliable. HP stinks, retreat cost is bad. 2 is a bit much for a 50 HP Pokemon.
Dark Dragonair: Wow, this plus a breeder can get Stage 2 quickly. HP is pretty good and Tail Strike can take off up to 40. Whoa, this guy is great...
Dark Electrode: No, no no no no no. He's only good to power up a Zapdos or something. Energy Bomb is in a way like Buzzap but I would rather stick with Electrode.
Dark Flareon: 50 HP stinks but Rage i great. Playing with fire is amazing. Scyther better think twice before slashing this fella, his rage will take off 80 damage with weakness.
Dark Gloom Oh god, I think I'm gonna be sick. He's horrible, Pollen Stench is good with Snorlax but Poisonpowder??? It should be like Muk's, dame goes to Ivysaur.
Dark Golduck: Broken. Third Eye is too good! Super Psy is amazing! Knock out colorless dudes and Fire dudes!!
Dark Jolteon: Not broken but close. First attack, broken. Second....er...no. HP stinks. Same with Dark Flareon.
Dark Kadabra: Wow. In a way, his Pokemon Power works kinda like a mini Oak but better in a point of view, if only we could use it more than once. Mind Shock is just great.
Dark Machoke: Pretty bad but I kinda like him, I would rather evolve him to Dark Machamp.
Dark Muk: WOW!! This guy is amazing, your opponent really want to retreat since its poisoned but nope, that Hitmonchan needs 4 energy to retreat.
Dark Persian: Stick with Jungle Persian, this guy is horrible. Er.. Weedle is a better choice than this feline.
Dark Primeape: Nice and tuff but he's gonna go crazy when he uses Frenzied Attack, a double edged sword, (I hate double edged swords) I like the Jungle one more.
Dark Rapidash: This guy is great doing damage to the bench but Jungle... is a must, only reason I used him in a deck is because I ran out of Jungle ones.
Dark Vaporeon: Bite is like Slash, Whirpool is like Hyper Beam.....could be better... next please.
Dark Wartortle: Ouch, Mirror Shell is alright, Double Slap... stinks. He is worse than the base one... way worse.
Magikarp: Hey better than the base one, but I don't knoe why it has a higher rating than Dark Rapidash.......
Porygon: Hey, looks good. Confusion, eh... could be better. Conversion 1 is nice but... I'd rather not use him.
Abra: Thank you! Finally, a GOOD Abra. Psyshock isn't much and Vanish is alright but I like his HP, its much better than 30.
Charmander: The Poor Man's Scyther killer. Its Gather Fire can prepare him for Dark Charizard. Nice, pretty good, if you're goin for speed this is your man.
Dark Raticate: Unreliable, bad HP, next.
Diglett: HEy better than the last one, nice... pretty good IMO
Drowzee: I like the base one more but this guy is in a way kind of like Haunter, but colorless dudes will destroy him.
Eevee: Eevee loves dodging attacks, bad HP but can be a staller but he is not an alternative to the Jungle one. No way.
Ekans: Better than the Fossil, better HP, nice attack. Pretty good if you ask me, but he's gonna hafta evolve.
Grimer: Poison Gas should poison but Stick Hands, OUCH. 30 damage and paralysis. Whew, nice attack.
Koffing: Nice status effect guy but base IMO is slower, but better. He has to evolve, I would really like him if his HP was 60 at least.
Machop: Splashable, 30 damage on turn 2. Hmm... pretty good. Not as fast, but can take off more.
Magnemite: I know I know, there isn't any idiot out there that has 4 Magnemite in play. He isn't that good, I like the Base one much much more.
Mankey: Nice, potential 40 damage. Zero retreat cost wow, I love this guy.
Meowth: Puh-lease!! He just plain stinks!! If only I had 4 of those Game Boy Meowths.
Oddish: First turn poison is great! Sleep... alright. Pretty good, I like him more than the other one.
Ponyta: Eh... its kinda slow. I like the base one much much more. Charmander is better than this.
Psyduck, kinda good, water gun is pretty strong put Dizziness is great!
Rattata: Him + HCTR is used sometimes, I've seen some decks that use that combo, really bad decks that stink and I always just gust out Rattata and KO him in one shot.
Slowpoke: No, whats the point of getting an energy from the deck? It may help you get more energys but the Fossil one is much better.
Squirtle: Splahable, but I like Base more.... IMO!!!!!! So don't flame me.
Voltorb: Wow, much better. Could be a new Poor Man's Haymaker Pokemon.
Zubat: Its alright, OK attacks but it still stinks.
Whew!! Now the Trainers Common n Uncommon
The Boss's Way: When Comp Search is banned this is your new way of getting Dark Pokemon. Pretty good.
Challenge!: If this was food I would gobble it all up.... but it isn't...:-( JK! Great card!!! Free bill anyone??
Digger: Horrible but with Dodrio or some other Pokemon with a rage-like attack its good.
Imposter Oak's Revenge: Bad... but when Gym comes out this will be used and hopeully some cards in the Trapper combo will be banned. No really I'm serious.
Nightly Garbage Run: Prevents from decking, wow its great in Stall or decks that Oak alot.
Sleep!: ......no...only good with Base Haunter or pissing your opponent.
Goop Gas Attack: I'm glad I beat that Mr.Mime, or Blastoise, or Alakazam.
Full Heal Energy: 1 Word Good... or broken... almost
Potion Energy: See above ^
