As we all know, Gym Challenge is just around the corner. And with the
coming of this set comes many powerful pokemon - Blaines Ninetails, Kogas
Beedrill, and Team Rockets Zapdos to name a few. However, when I first read
the Edo's translations to Gym 2, the thing that popped out at me the most was
the killer psychic pokemon. Here's a few -

Sabrina's Gastly
40 HP
Power: Gas Body : When a Psychic energy is attached to this card, this card
HP increase by 10. Stops working whild confused, paralyzed, or asleep.
PP: Gas Cloud: 30
C Retreat    Fight Resist     No Weak

Around here, there once was a neighborhood rumor that all pokemon gained 10
HP whenever an energy was attached, this guy acctually does it, with a pretty
nice attack too.

Sabrina's Jynx
60 HP
P: Good Deed: Remove as many damage counter from your opponents pokemon as
you wish, draw a card = to the amount of damge counters removed.
PP: Stick: 20 : Flip a coin, if heads, the defending pokemon can't retreat
next turn..
P Weak   No resist    C Retreat

Card advantage, plain and simple. Use with discression though...

Sabrina's Golduck
70 HP
PP: Damage Shift: Remove 1 Damage counter from this pokemon and each of your
benched pokemon, and put all of those on the defending Pokemon.
WCC: Water Shot: 20+: Flip one coin, if heads, this attack does 20 more damage
L Weak    No Resist   CC Retreat

HOLY COW! This pokemon combos wonderfully with Alakazam, giving Swap decks
the power two heal, and to attack. Also gets around Mime's power, since it
isn't damaging Mime. It's placing damage counters on it.

Sabrina's Kadabra
70 HP
P: Life Down: Flip a coin, if heads, put enough damage counters on the
defending pokemon till he only has 10 HP left.
PCC: Psyshot: 30
P Weak   No Resist   C  Retreat

Oh ... my ... GOSH! On heads, CRUNCH! Oh, I'd hate to be on the reciving end
of this mega hitter, if only his attack did 10 more damage (Resist P pokies).
Oh well, he's still good, despite the fact that Pluspower won't work with
this guy (His attack only places damage counters, not deal damage)

Sabrina's Alakazam
80 HP
Power: Psylink: This pokemon can use attacks of any of your other psychic
pokemon. Stops working while Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
PCCC: Mega Burn: 60: Sabrina's Alakazam can't use this attack on your next
turn.
P Weak    No Resist    CCC Retreat

This card, with the right combination, can be the most versatile pokemon
ever. With the attacks from his counterparts. He could do anything from
confuse, to draw cards, to meditating. Use him wisely and he will definently
serve you well. No wonder Ash couldn't beat Sabrina on his own ...

Lastly, a non-Sabrina Card that needs attention.

Team Rocket's Mewtwo
70 HP
P: Damage Swap: Flip a coin; if heads, exchange all damage counters on this
Pokemon with the Defending Pokemon.
PP: Hypnotic Wave: 20 : Flip a coin, if heads, the defending Pokemon is now
asleep.
PPPC: Psyburn: 60
P Weak  No Resist  CC Retreat

What can I say? It's beautiful, and when this set comes out it'll probably be
the MVP of the whole set.

Using some of the cards mentioned (and a few  others). I've made this deck
that I think will be pretty formidalble.

Pokemon: 18
4x Sabrina's Abra (40 HP, P: 10+ , if heads, add 20 to this attack.)
3x Sabrina's Kadabra
2x Sabrina's Alakazam
3x TR Mewtwo
3x Sabrina's Gastly (The one mentioned)
2x Mr. Mime (The only pokemon a fully powered puff can't kill without you
flipping two tails)

Trainers: 23
3x Oak
3x Sabrina (With all the Sabrina pokes here, this card could be really
powerful)
4x Erika (What can I say? I like these female Gym leaders. Kidding, she
yeilds more card advantage than her brother, Bill)
4x Computer Search
2x Pokemon Trader
3x Lowered Resist Gym (All Psychic and Fighting decks will have this card)
4x Warp Point (A Gust and a switch rolled into one, nice)

Energy
19x Psychic Energy

And there you have it! If you need the translations to some of the cards I
haven't listed. Go check out the "Spoikers and Translations".

I hope my article gave y'all good ideas on the power of Psychic in this set.
If not, beware the Psychic types - for they have unparraleled power.
Sorry, my Gastly possesed me there for a second and I have no idea what is
going on. OH! WOW! An article has been posted, neato! Let's send it in. Till
Later!
