To my opinion, the Team Rocket
line of "Gym Heroes" and "GYm
Challenge" are by far the best of any. They have some of the most broken
cards I have ever seen, despite oak and scyther. Here's my strategy and
review for te following:
Rocket's Zapdos- This is basically the first card that popped
into my
mind when I thought of Team Rocket. 70 damage on turn three and 20 along the
way. While you're at it, why not charge up your bench? Since this big guy
soaks up the energy from your descard pile, you can power up
Wigglys,electabuzz's,scythers, and maybe even a Raichu. This guy has broken
written all over it. Expect to see him in haymakers and trappers. Yes, he is
hard to get, but it's all worth it once you find out the power of him in
tournaments.
The Rockets Trap- I can already see this card slowly
dominating the area.
I use it a lot in decks, you should to. Of course, it's not reliable, but boy
can this card be disruptive! Combine it with Rocket's Zapdos and Sneak Attack
and you'll have a killer deck. Charge zapdos, energize bench, and ruin your
opponents hand.
Rocket's Hitmonchan- Probably the best fighting pokemon ever.
Scare 'em
with cross counter and beat 'em with Magnum punch. You could also try to pull
off
Rockets Hitmonchan+Rockets Zapdos+RSA+Trap+Every single card drawing
power=win. Sounds hard, but it's a piece of cake with oak and item finder.
Rockets Scyther- Not better than the above, but still
unbelievably good.
40 on turn two while you stall with Shadow Images first turn. Top it off with
a resistance and you get yet another wonderful scyther family.
Rockets Moltres- Getting a little lower here. He's kind of
slow on his
attack and he doesn't have a back-up to use that attack. Pokemon Power
doesn't help either. Still pretty good in fire decks, but the above pokemons
will kill it.
Rockets Snorlax- The worst Team Rocket Pokemon, but still not
that bad.
Worth trying in some decks, but Rockets Hitmonchan will totally kill it.
Rockets Mewtwo- The last attack is slow, but at least it has
back up
plans. Not as good as I thought it would be since Chansey and Wiggly already
roam around tournaments, but Juxtapose can TRY to fend them off. It still
looks cool though, and it is definetley worth trying in psychic decks.
Overall, you can see the Team Rocket
line of cards are simply the
best. BUt we all have our opinions. Send comments, questions, or even cards
