It's hard to find which is needed more, power or protection. The answer is protection. People in the Pokemon TCG today find power too much. What happened? Save the strengh for Pokemon and don't put your best in the arena early, surprise your opponent with Charizard later and wear him out.
    I also find Rocket energy useful. Potion Energy provides 1 coloress energy and 1 damage counter off you back. Full Heal Energy does the same only it makes your Pokemon unpoisioned, unparalyzed, awake, or unconfused. Rainbow energy provides 1 energy of any kind of energy.
     So, hopefully I've have proved my point.
