These two Pokemon have a wonderful pokemon power that allows you to

search your deck for Stage 1 Pokemon and put them on the bench.  What really

makes this Power shine the most is the attack that Kabuto has.  Let's take

the example of both Omanyte and Kabuto.

bench.

Of course, it is important to have some true basic pokemon as well as Fossil

Eggs because you can't start the game with an Omanyte or Kabuto immediately. 

If you manage to get an Omanyte, you flip a coin and get heads, then you grab

the next fossil pokemon in you deck and flip for his power as well and you

keep doing this until you either run out of Kabuto or Omanyte or flip tail

(Fossil Eggs allow you to continue).  If you flip right, your bench should be

full and a Kabuto will be able to attack with 60 damage.  Kabuto is even more

wonderful because it can evolve into a Kabutops and the Kabutops from Neo 2

can do 120 damage tops, provided that Kabutops has at least one fighting

energy.  It's a lot of coin flipping but it usually means instant death if

the heads comes up frequently.
