Howdy,
Hmm This is interesting Poliwhirl better than Hitmonchan????? Although those words never came out he didnt list Chan at all although Chan has resistance problems he is certainly better than Poliwhirl and CHARIZARD!!!!!!! Give me something quick. Nidoqueen hmm I do like her in Stadium but here 100 dmage for 2 energy no I think not, more like 40-60 80 tops. What kind of person were you playing to let you get out 4 Nidokings and 1 Nidoqueen at least. These kind of decks don't work.
I agree on Dark Dragonair, Muk and Scyther and Blastoise, but anyone who even places Charizard in there top ten mustn't play very often because if people think DCE counts as two energy cards you are very wrong I believe that DCE is one card. A lot of people hate when I point out when they use that waste of attack fire spin on my fossil (idiot).
 
My views on Charizard. You discard 2 energy to kill hmm a shellder, if it had another attack like Charmeleon or even the weak 10 from its Dark version it would at least do something but it can't move after letting out it's stupid attack. Don't say charge him on the bench, ever heard of S.E.R or even worse Gust of Wind. I really get violent with anyone that uses Charizard thinking it's good. And saying Poliwhirl is good because you can knock out Charizard on a 25% chance. Oh yes and Rattata and Mankey what a deck combo two prizes for free everybody with weakness to both Fighting and Psychic although I will admit it is admirable combo with Dark Vileplume you never mentioned that but i did try it for fun. Yes I love Dark Vileplume cus trainers overload is so popular. Oh and Snorlax, you know how many people bash this guy. I would quote the words
"useless card"
"This is why I don't use snorlax"
4 Energy for 30 and a chance of par is ridiculous it's power works well with Dark Gloom or Drowzee with a switch or something but by that time you already have at least 2 spots taken. Maybe you may play in an area with Charizards and stats changes which then is fair enough but at least mention that.
Although I am a Blastoise fan I would never call it best card in game that is going a littile too far. Raindance is more what is known for not Hydro Pump. Hydro is only a back up if Lapras or Articuno gets Koed or Shell boy gets gusted.
Besides Scyther you did not put Wiggily or any hay pokemon or computer search or Oak. I think these cards come slightly before the recycle the Blastoise, and you place Recycle before Computer Search. Yes I did read Ness' article but the coin flip on tails it does NOTHING. With Prop 15 around  in ECSTS I doubt people will use a recycle over Item Finder, although both I doubt will be used.
 
Muk's power is awesome but his attack is dodgy, most stage 1 grass have 100% chance of poison or something to make up for it, (dark Arbok, Dark muk, Ivysaur, Venomoth, both Gloom's) and the list goes on. Muk's sludge is much like Blastoise's Hydro Pump use only if needed. Anyway I have bashed enough of this poor guys views I shouldn't of gone so hard but I do think if they are your ten best your in a bit of trouble sort of.
 
And will im here. I NEED PRACTICE no tournies here in Australia I have really strong deck that has 100 win + streak but no one else will play me that is no one different. ARGGHH.... begs WOTC for help give me some practice, and the stupid pokemon league only plays this stupid throwdowns kids game, if you want to know what it is Ill post another article about it and I warn you get something to throw up in you'll need it YUCK!
bye bye
Somebody
(I like Pidgeot but they wrecked up Pidgeot like the did with poor Spike's Vulpix)
 
P.S If anyone knows Spike's Vulpix my Pidgeot wants to know if he's complained to the Fire pokemon association or something yet). haha
My bird wants to complain to the hurt birds association if there is such thing.
