Hi my name is John. I found out a great tip while playing with a
friend while we switched decks, to see whose was better. He uses a lot of old
cards because he doesn't have very many new ones (Neo Genesis and Discovery).
His main cards are Fossil and Promo Dragonite, which I found were very
powerful, Fossil MOLTRES and the ORIGINAL ZAPDOS.
      To move on, he also used an Ecogym. So whenever he or I would use
Moltres' Wildfire attack we would just get them right back into our hand,
making our opponent discard from their deck every turn. This is useful when
playing against card drawing, disruption decks, or the dreaded SNEASEL decks.
      And now moving on to the original Zapdos. His two attacks are

Thunder: LLLC
60  Flip a coin if tails Zapdos does 30 damage to itself.

Thunderbolt: LLLL
100  Discard all energy cards attached to Zapdos.

With Ecogym in place when zapdos uses his thunderbolt attack you will just
return the energy to your hand and get ready for another DEATH BLOW.

** I hope this tip helps many players who have old pokemon cards with a few
new ones looking for a very effective deck. **

John
