Charity

Um, Charity is a good card for three reasons.

Here they are.

[1] Against Pokemon with a "Rage" or "Rage"like attack

Situation: Your opponent's Dark Flareon(50 HP) has 10 damage.
You have an undamaged Scyther (w/3 energies), your only pokemon with energy. Your deck doesn't have grass or Rainbow energy in it.
It is your turn.  If you attack with slash, Dk Flareon will have 40 damage. Then he can rage for a guranteed kill on your syther and grab a prize. But, if you use charity to reduce the damage to ten or twenty, your opponent is less likely to kill you.  Kinda situational, but it still exists.

[2] Mr Mime.

This doesn't need explanation but, you have something out that can only attack for 20+ damage.  Use charity to reduce the damage to 20, and Mr. Mime is probably dead in two turns.

[3] Multiplayer Games

I know there is NO set rules for a multiplayer game.  All aside, they are very fun.  Here's the situation. It is VERY common in multiplayer games(not the pokemon, but the situation).  Person 1 is you. It is your turn. Person 3 has a Kangaskhan as his active.  Person 2 has a Dark Kadabra.  You have a fully powered Hitmonchan and no pluspowers.  You can use Charity to reduce your damage to 50, then, next turn you can kill your Player 3 whether Player 2 attacks or not.

I say nearly every deck should have one or two of these.
