Cards that have seen the sunshine of every day in decks and constantly roam tournaments are always being played. At this point, it's impossible to make a card like Victreebel playable, but those much hated cards can still have a little play or much improvement. I'll start with Trainers.
 
Trainers
 
1. Devolution Spray - Don't tell me that this isn't true. Most people didn't actually used this card to decide that it sucks. They just thought: "Well, look at what it does. Not worth playing." How about devolving Aerodactyl to Mysterious Fossil so that you can evolve? Or devolve Dark Vileplume so that you use Trainers? Dark Gloom is not bad at all! Or devolving to put Resistance back in place,etc? I bet this card will see more play in the future.
 
2. Recycle - An all rounded unpopular card. Half a chance of getting one card from your discard pile. Other than using Recycle and if it works,using Bill to get that card or use Kangaskhan's Fetch, I just don't know how to use this card.
 
3. Minion of Team Rocket - Two heads have to be flipped or else your turn is over. It sucks. Don't ask me how to use this card. 25% chance of a Trainer even working? That's even worse than Recycle!!!
 
4. Poke'dex - It's not that it sucks. It's hardly used. The weakest combination I found while using Poke'dex is: Misty's Wrath + Poke'dex. You use Poke'dex first to look at the top 5 cards in your deck. Then, use Misty's Wrath to get the best two cards of the seven, discarding the rest. The point of this combination is to know what you're discarding before you actually do so. If anyone knows how to use Poke'dex more effectively, you can email me.
 
 
Poke'mon
1. Kabuto/ Msyterious Fossil - A big improvement can be made in the usage of these cards. Just don't use them as Active Poke'mon until they have reached Kabutops. I must admit, 30 HP for a Stage 1 Poke'mon is extremely horrible. It's still vurnerable on the Bench, so use Transparent Walls.
 
2. Snorlax - I was wondering how could Snorlax not use its Poke'mon Power when it is Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed if its Poke'mon Power prevents it from becoming Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed. That's not possible, is it? Body Slam is awful if you don't have Double Colorless Energy. An excellent staller, though, 'cause it needs Four Colorless to retreat, but why would anyone attack with Snorlax or retreat it unless it they had to?
 
3. Victreebel - Basically permanently impossible for it to become a popular card. I really don't need to review how bad it is. There is no strategy I found that could be used for this card.
 
4. Butterfree - Whirlwind could be better if Gust of Wind wasn't invented. Considerable damage and a free Gust of Wind all in one. Mega Drain is like free Potions when there are already damage counters on the Defending Poke'mon.
 
 
Here are just a few examples. There are many, many more, but these are the ones that really intruiged me.
