Hello Pojo!  It's MrMonkey33 with my first ever strategy!!!  This will be an event to tell your
grandchildren about!  After you get over the greatness of this event, I will tell you how to
work around the Team Rocket's dark pokemon's low hp that everyone has been complaining
about.  (It's getting annoying.  You can stop complaining now.)  Oh yeah, the strategy!  Here
it is:

Ever since Team Rocket came out, everyone has been complaining about all the dark
pokemon's low hp and how that makes them worse cards.  The solution to this is everyone's
favorite pink puff-ball, Chansey.  Other stall pokemon with low retreat or switch would work
too, but Chansey works the best for this cause.  Lets look at an example:

We start a game with, lets say, Dark Muk (which is really, REALLY good, btw), Grimer,
Chansey, and some energy and trainers.  You play Chansey as your active and put Grimer on
your bench.  Your opponent, lets call him Hank, starts with a Scyther (It's really popular in
my area.)  Notice that if you started with Grimer and evolved it on turn 2 Scyther could
possibly kill you the same turn-a great card waisted.  But you start with Chansey as your
active, and it takes up all Scyther's slashes until you evolve Grimer and get 2 (grass) energies
on it.  Chansey shouldn't be koed yet, so you can put an energy on it and retreat (or scoop
up or switch)  You bring up Dark Muk and do 20 damage and poison (which is in my
opinion the strongest ailment by far)  Also Hank's free retreat just turned into 2!!!  But I
won't go further into Dark Muk's greatness-that would be a single card strategy.  Scyther will
die the next turn with poison and your attack, and Dark Muk will only have about 30 damage
on it.

So stop complaining about dark pokemon's low hp-it is not the end of the world.  It can be
worked around.  Just think.
