Well Gym Heroes has been out for awhile now, and I am sure there is one
question on some people's mind what do I do with all these common cards I
have gotten. In search of those Holofoil cards you might have had to open a
lot of packs. Well today I have some ideas of what to do with all those
common cards. So I created a top 10 list of gym heroes common. You problay
have tons of these cards collecting dust in a shoebox. These are only my
ideas and you may not feel the same about these cards, but I think I have so
pretty good ideas.

10. Sabrina's Mr Mime- For one colorless energy attack. You can remove 3
other cards from your hand and then get 3 energy cards you need. The 3 cards
you removed go right back into your deck, better then discarding.

9. Brock's Mankey Level 12- His first attack is not all that great, but his
second attack can be useful if Mankey has no damage counters on it. For 1
fighting and a colorless you can do a possible 40 damage. that is enough
combined with weakness to take down Wigglytuff.

8. Brock's Geodude Level 13- For 1 fighting 50% chance of being able to
place basic Brock's pokemon on your bench. For 1 fighting and a colorless
you can do hook shot for 20 damage do not apply resistance.

7. Blanie's Growlithe Level 15- For 2 Fire energies you can do 20 damage,
plus another 10 damage to all grass pokemon on your opponent's. This will
make your opponent think twice about placing down that popular grass pokemon
I doult I need to say his name.

6. Sabrina's Gastly- For 1 psyhic energy and a colorless does 20 damage plus
does not allow your opponent to retreat that pokemon. Plus 30 resistane to
fightning. Hitmonchan stay here so Gastly can knock you out next turn, but
hey you cannot touch Gastly with your jab.

5. Blaine's Ponyta- For 1 fire and a colorless you can do 20 damage, plus a
50% chance of preventing all effects of attacks on Ponyta.

4. Erika's Oddish Level 15- For 1 grass energy you can do 10 damage plus
remove one damage counter from Oddish. Also for 1 grass and 1 colorless you
can do 20 damge and have a 50% of being able to remove a damge counter from
Oddish.

3. Misty's Staryu- For 1 water and a coloreless you can do Swift which does
20 damage and there is not way your opponent can stop it. It works pasted
pokemon powers and all other effects on the defending pokemon. Only bad side
is that you cannot aply weakness.

2. Brock's Onix Level 41- 100 Hit points. Yes, you read it right 100 Hit
pionts and it is a basic pokemon. Plus, for one colorless you have a 50%
chance of paralzation and for 2 fighting and a colorless you can do 30
damage

1. Blanie's Charmander- For 2 colorless energy you can do slash for 20
damage. Yet, what makes this card number 1 is it's first attack Kindle. For
1 Fire energy you do 10 damage plus discard any type of energy card attached
to Charmander in order to discard an energy from the defending pokemon.

Well this concludes my top 10. I hope you have found it useful and
insightful. So all those common cards you get in a pack and not just for
collecting dust, some of them have some real use.
As it was once said, I rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.
