No offense to the author but this article was done bad.
There's a thing called the "point system." A horrible system that in which does a bad job on rating cards.
I'll show an example.
Let's compare Fossil Magmar to Seaking
HP: Both equal!
Magmar:1
Seaking:1
Retreat: Equal again!
Magmar:2
Seaking:2
Elements: There is a lot of fire and grass is dying!
Magmar:2
Seaking:3
First Attack: Fossil Magmar with a chance of blocking attacks!
Magmar:3
Seaking:3
Second Attack: Seaking has a 1 W and 1 C while Fossil Magmar has FF! And Seaking gets to do 30 while Fossil Magmar has a chance of poison!
Magmar:3
Seaking:4
Evolution: Magmar is a basic while Seaking is a Stage 1!
Magmar:4
Seaking:4
Weakness: Lightning is very popular! Water is dying!
Magmar:5
Seaking:4
Who would win the fight: Duh! Weakness!
Magmar:5
Seaking:5
Well I'll be, there both tied! This is how the point system is awful!
Moral: Never use the point system.
