Webpidgeon's Card Analysis!!!

H'lo all.

Today I decided I'd take a quick peek at some of my favorite cards-Unown!
Unown A, E, I and N to be precise.

Unown n[n]
Hmm...
On first examination, this appears to be little more than a sprout tower with
hp.
Nothing could be further from the truth!  If you read it's power it states
that only your pokémon are given the colorless resistance. The easiest way to
come by his card is in a brain wave deck, where it comes in quite handy for
protecting your psy pokémon.
Now then...what combos can we come up with?
Chansey with unown n on the bench=Chansey only takes 50 damage from double
edge! Use gold berry and chansey will be able to do more than stall.
Unown n and Abra= Your opponent will use colorless pokémon to defend against
a lot of the time. (Believe me, this was a major problem with my old mono-psy
deck!)
Stick an abra active and keep unown n in his hand. Gust of Wind(gow) in his
chansey or wiggly (if he hasn't already got one up), and evolve to dark
kadabra. Drop in unown n and you'll be dealing damage without taking to much.
Chansey will knock itself out to beat on pokémon!

Unown i [i]

My least favorite of the little nown (sorry 'bout that!) one's. Increase
isn't very useful unless you need one to pull some combo with an unown, but
why not use challenge, cpu search, bill, oak or elm?
Combos:
Use it to fill your bench if you have no pokémon left. But why bother,
there's better cards out there.

Unown e[e]

Ok, this isn't bad at all. If you don't have Cleffa (godblessthatcard), this
makes a good substitute. If you can get a Bill in those four cards it'll work
almost as well as an Elm, but you can still play trainers.
Combos:
Unown e and (dare i say it) pokédex. Use a pokédex to get a bill in the top
four cards. Then draw it.
Unown e and recycle. Use recycle to put bill on top of your deck.

Unown a[a]

YES! My favorite of the unown, and it's a holo in the brain wave deck, so
it's not too hard to get! Use Alakazam, Magneton, Articuno or any other
pokémon that can hurt the bench to put damge on it, then use any other unown
card to fight. Finally the unown can be played as actives. Could this be used
as the base for a psychic haymaker? Probably not, but it's a nice thought.

Combos:
See the second sentence of my above paragraph...

Other cards I'm playing at the moment:
Porygon(rocket) Butterfree(discovery) Dark Muk(rocket)Clefa(genesis).
Cards I probably won't play ever:
Base Abra Base Gastly Base Magikrap.
