game's sequel (released in Japan) never made it across the ocean. My guide is
designed to help you through this addictive game. Enjoy this FAQ!
What unique and additional features does this huge walkthrough include? For
one, I have a Ratings section, discussing my ratings about the various cards.
Also, my card lists are in Pokedex, Card #, and Real World orders. That way,

*** 4: Dr. Mason's Surprise ***
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this part is the story of the game. The story in the instruction booklet
comes first, followed by my version of the story.
*******************************
It was just another typical day of Pokemon card trading with Ronald, a kid from
your neighborhood. As always, you were trying to complete your collection of
Pokemon Trading Cards when you overheard an ear-catching rumor...
The Legendary Pokemon Cards...mysterious and extremely rare cards held by the
four greatest Pokemon card players of all time - the Grand Masters! Rumor has
it, the Grand Masters are looking for one player to inherit the legend...a
player who can defeat all four of the Grand Masters...one player worthy of the
Legendary Cards and worthy of carrying on the legend!
"I wish I could have those cards," you say to yourself. "I will be the one! I
will be the player who defeats the Grand Masters and inherits the Legendary
Pokemon Cards!" But by the look on Ronald's face, you can tell he has the exact
same idea!
"I know," you think to yourself, "I'll enlist the help of Dr. Mason - the
Pokemon Trading Card Game researcher!* He knows all there is to know about
Pokemon Trading Cards! He'll teach me how to play the Trading Card Game. Then,
I'll collect all the cards - including those of the Grand Masters
themselves!!!"
"Why the rush, Mark?" Dr. Mason asks as you race into his lab. "THE LEGENDARY
POKEMON CARDS!" He cries, after hearing your plan. Thinking out loud, Dr. Mason
mutters, "clearly, playing the card game is much more fun than just collecting
the cards...I know this day would come...but if this truly is your dream...
Perhaps, with my help..."
Suddenly he turns to you and warns, "you'll never get those cards if you aren't
dedicated."
"I am ready to do whatever it takes to defeat the Grand Masters," you assure
him.
"Very well, then! You must not simply learn the card game - you must master it!
Start with this deck! Your deck is the set of cards you will use in duels. One
deck consists of 60 cards. Your first opponent will be my assistant, Sam.
First, we'll tell you the basics of the game. Then, I'll help you through your
first duel!"
* Research pieces of paper? Dr. Mason needs to get a life...
*******************************
One day, you learn about the ultra-rare Legendary Cards of the Grand Masters of
Pokemon and the powers they possess. Being a rookie Pokemon Trading Card Game
player, you head to Dr. Mason's laboratory. Your friend Dr. Mason, a respected
authority on Trading Card Game information, hears about your goal to inherit
the Legendary Cards.
After a brief tutorial about the game's rules and guidelines, Dr. Mason gives
you your very first deck of cards. And so, your journey to become a Pokemon
Trading Card master begins!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1: Knowing the Controls
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section contains the basic controls you need to know. The Gameboy's
buttons and functions are listed below.
*Button* *Location on Gameboy* *Function*
Start Bottom center (right) Starts game, Menu
A Top right (right) Confirms choices, Scrolls text
Select Bottom center (left) In-duel shortcuts
B Top right (left) Cancels choices, Scrolls text
D-pad Top left Moves cursor, Moves character
Note: Pressing A, B, Start, and Select simultaneously will restart the game.
*******************************
Using the B button, use the D-pad to view your own or your opponent's play area
or discard pile. Push B + down to view your play area, B + left to view your
discard pile, B + up to view your opponent's play area, and B + right to view
your opponent's discard pile. Remember these handy functions!
If you turned your Gameboy off when you were in the middle of a duel, you will
have the option in the starting menu to continue the duel from your last turn
(before you attacked).
Press Select when viewing your Hand in a duel. It will let you arrange your
hand as you like. Press Select in a duel to view your Play Area, the opponent's
Play Area, or the entire dueling table. Press Select when your Pokemon is
Knocked Out to view your hand or the Knocked Out card.
*******************************
Here are the procedures taken in a regular Pokemon Duel. If some of the terms
used appear unclear to you, read the next section (section 4.2) for information
on the rules of the game.
~ First, both your deck and the opponent's deck are shuffled.
~ Each player draws seven cards. This is the Hand. If a player has no base
Pokemon in his/her hand, he/she will shuffle his/her hand into her deck, re-
shuffle the deck, and draw seven more cards.
~ Now, Set a Basic Pokemon on the Arena. This is your Active Pokemon, or the
one you'll be attacking with at the start of the game.
~ Place up to 5 Pokemon on your Bench (if you drew more than one Pokemon in
your hand). The Bench is where you charge up your Pokemon in case they are
needed.
~ You will place Prize Cards, chosen randomly from your deck. The number of
Prizes varies depending on who you're facing. A player will choose a Prize Card
when he/she Knocks Out a Pokemon.
~ A coin will be tossed in the beginning of the game to decide which player
goes first. In the Gameboy game, you go first if the coin lands heads.
~ The player going first will draw one card from his/her deck. From there,
these actions can be done as many times as desired in the turn:
Place Basic Pokemon on the Bench. You cannot place more than five.
Retreat the Active Pokemon by paying the Retreat Cost.
Evolve compatible Active/Bench Pokemon that was placed more than 1 turn ago.
Attach an Energy Card on a Pokemon only once (barring Rain Dance).
Use Trainer Cards. Discard them after being used.
Some Pokemon Powers may be used depending on its description.
~ Attack with the Active Pokemon if you have enough Energy Cards attached to it
to meet the cost of the attack.
~ End your turn. Attacking manually ends your turn, but you may choose to end
it without attacking.
Now, this procedure continues until someone wins using the methods listed in
the next section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2: Rules of the Game
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rules of the Pokemon Trading Card Game are explained by Dr. Mason at the
beginning of the game. However, here are some quick guidelines that I made for
you:
~ The objective of the Trading Card Game is to defeat the opponent using one of
three methods: to take all of your prizes that you placed at the beginning of
the game, to make your opponent run out of Active Pokemon, or to make your
opponent run out of cards.
~ In this game, you will be able to collect cards from the Base Set, Jungle
Set, and Fossil Set. Use these to create decks!
~ A Basic Pokemon is the only kind of card that can be put into play at the
beginning of a match. They are unevolved and usually are able to attack
quickly.
~ Evolution Pokemon cards are placed on top of matching Basic Pokemon cards.
These Pokemon are often stronger than their counterparts.
~ Trainer Cards are one-time use cards that have a special function. They are
discarded after they are played. There are various functions of Trainers, so
look at the card before playing it!
~ There are six types of Basic Energy in the game: Grass, Fire, Lightning,
Water, Fighting, and Psychic. Basic Energys are attached to your Pokemon, once
per turn, to make them attack or retreat. You can put as many of these energys
as you want in your deck.
~ Double Colorless Energy is a Special Energy Card. It provides two energies,
but they are both of the colorless type. Use these cards to quickly power up
your Pokemon!
*******************************
The Pokemon Trading Card game might still be foggy to you, so here are some
terms that are used in the game:
~ Active Pokemon are the Pokemon that currently face each other. They're the
only Pokemon that can attack or be attacked (with some exceptions), and they
can be switched with Bench Pokemon for a cost. If a person runs out of Active
Pokemon and is unable to send out another one, he or she loses the match.
~ Bench Pokemon are Pokemon that a person has in reserve. There can be up to
five Bench Pokemon on a player's bench. Bench Pokemon cannot be attacked,
unless the attack specifies so.
~ Prizes are placed in the beginning of the match. When you knock out an
opponent's Pokemon, choose a prize. When all of the prizes are taken, a winner
is decided.
~ Attacks are commands issued by the person. Attacks can damage either Pokemon,
or give them a status alignment. They can also heal or defend certain Pokemon.
Attacks can only be executed if there is as much energy attached to the
attacker as required.
~ HP is a Pokemon's ability to take hits. The more HP a Pokemon has, the more
damage it can take before it is knocked out.
~ Damage is what Pokemon recieve from attacks. It is represented by Damage
counters, each one giving 10 damage. If a Pokemon has less or equal HP than
Damage, it is knocked out.
~ "Knocked Out" happens to a Pokemon when its HP reaches zero (or below). When
this happens, the Pokemon and all cards attached to it will be moved into the
discard pile.
~ Discard Pile is where Knocked Out Pokemon, Energys attached to the Pokemon,
and used-up Trainer Cards go. Certain cards will let you remove cards from the
Discard Pile.
~ Your Hand is where you keep all of your drawn cards. There is no limit to how
many cards you have in your hand.
~ Your Deck must contain 60 cards. See the next section for details. Each turn,
you draw a card from your deck. Some Trainers and Attacks will let you draw
more cards. If your deck's cards reach zero, you lose the game on the next time
you have to draw a card.
~ Retreats are commands issued by the duelist. If the Pokemon has enough
Energys to fulfill its Retreat Cost, it will have the option to switch with a
Bench Pokemon. You will have to discard the same number of energies as the
Retreat Cost in order to do this.
~ Retreat Costs vary from Pokemon to Pokemon. They represent the amount of
Energy Cards you must discard in order to retreat.
~ Weaknesses of a Pokemon mean that it takes double damage from attacks from
its weakness type.
~ Resistances of a Pokemon mean that it takes thirty less damage from attacks
of its resistance type. Plan the weaknesses and resistances of your deck
carefully!
~ The level of a Pokemon card has nothing to do with how good the card is.
Don't be fooled into putting worthless high-level Pokemon in your deck!
~ Pokemon Powers are special effects a Pokemon may have. The usage of Pokemon
Powers depends on what is written on the card.
~ Invincibility happens when a Pokemon uses a move, like Scrunch or Agility,
that promises no damage to be taken on the following turn. Invincibility is
gone on the next turn.
~ Stalling is when someone sends out a Pokemon that is very hard to take down
because of its tremendous HP and/or invincibility potential.
*******************************
The terms above are most of the basics involved in Pokemon Trading Card Game.
However, your Pokemon may be affected with a Status Alignment. They are listed
below:
~ Confusion: Your active Pokemon must flip a coin before attacking or
retreating. If the coin turns heads, the action works normally. If the coin
flips tails, the Pokemon will be unable to perform that action. If the coin
lands tails when the infected Pokemon attempts to attack, the attacker will do
20 damage to itself while still being unable to attack. Cure confusion with:
A successful retreat
The Trainer "Full Heal"
The Trainer "Scoop Up"
The Trainer "Switch"
The Trainer "Devolution Spray"
An evolution card
A successful attack (ignores it)
~ Paralyzation: Your active Pokemon cannot attack or retreat for the turn it is
infected barring the help of a Trainer Card. Paralyzation wears off in one
turn. Cure paralyzation with:
The Trainer "Full Heal"
The Trainer "Scoop Up"
The Trainer "Switch"
The Trainer "Devolution Spray"
An evolution card
Waiting until the next turn
~ Poison: This will slowly drain the energy of the Pokemon affected. After each
player's turn, the Pokemon affected with Poison will take an additional 10
damage. Nidoking's Toxic attack is even more deadly; the affected Pokemon will
take 20 damage a turn instead of 10. Cure poison with:
The Trainer "Full Heal"
The Trainer "Scoop Up"
The Trainer "Switch"
The Trainer "Devolution Spray"
An evolution card
~ Sleep: Pokemon cannot attack or retreat when asleep. Between each turn, a
coin is flipped. If the coin lands heads, the alignment is cured. If it turns
tails, the Pokemon is still asleep. Cure sleep with:
The Trainer "Full Heal"
The Trainer "Scoop Up"
The Trainer "Switch"
The Trainer "Devolution Spray"
An evolution card
Getting heads on the coin toss between turns
*******************************
All the information above and more can be found by looking at the bookshelves
scattered around the game. These are the basics upon becoming a Pokemon Card
Game master!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.3: Weaknesses/Resistances
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are seven types of Pokemon in the Pokemon Trading Card game. Each type of
Pokemon has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. They are listed below.
Fire
Fighting
Grass
Lightning
Water
Psychic
Colorless
There are, however, certain subtypes of Pokemon that have slightly different
traits than others of the type. These are listed here.
Poison (Grass type)
Rock (Fighting type)
Ghost (Psychic type)
Flying (Colorless type)
Dragon (Colorless type)
Legendary (various types)
*******************************
These subtypes deal the same type of damage as thier basic types. For example,
a Weezing (Poison) using Selfdestruct will be super effective against an Onix
(Rock). For players of the RPG, this may be confusing to you, but bear along.
Below is a list of all the types/subtypes' Weaknesses and Resistances:
Fire weak to Water
Fighting weak to Psychic
Grass weak to Fire
Lightning weak to Fighting
Water weak to Lightning/Grass
Psychic weak to Psychic
Colorless weak to Fighting
Poison weak to Psychic
Rock weak to Grass
Ghost weak to nothing
Flying weak to Lightning
Dragon weak to nothing
Legendary weak to nothing
Fire strong against nothing/Fighting
Fighting strong against nothing
Grass strong against nothing/Fighting
Lightning strong against nothing
Water strong against nothing
Psychic strong against nothing
Colorless strong against Psychic
Poison strong against Fighting/nothing
Rock strong against nothing/Lightning
Ghost strong against Fighting
Flying strong against Fighting
Dragon strong against Psychic/Fighting
Legendary strong against Fighting
Hopefully this will give you an idea of which cards are strong and weak to
which other cards. Read on to see how to build a deck!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4: Building a Deck
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the analysis above, you could tell apart the types of Pokemon. Now, to
arrange the Pokemon you've chosen into a deck:
Deck-building is one of the many fun parts of this game. All the cards that you
own are organized by type, so it's easy to find where each card is. To start
building a deck, Press the Start button to be taken to the menu. Select "Deck"
from there, and pick the deck you want to modify. from there...
~ Select Deck: Select this deck as your dueling deck.
~ Change Name: Change the name of your deck.
~ Cancel: Return to the previous menu.
~ Modify Deck: Modify the deck. See below.
*******************************
While modifying your deck, you can press these buttons:
~ The D-pad lets you choose a type of cards (the element). Press A when you've
chosen. Now, you can use the D-pad to select the card, and the amount desired.
Press B to return to the element menu.
~ Pressing Start in the element menu will let you view your current deck and
its contents. Use the D-pad to scroll up and down, and the A button to check
the card.
~ When selecting a card, press the A button to view its attacks, information,
and evolution stage.
~ At the element menu, pressing B will result in another menu. Pressing Confirm
is like pressing Start in the element menu (see above). Press Modify to
continue modifying the deck. Select Name to rename the deck. Press save to save
the deck configuration, and press Dismantle to delete the current deck. Select
Cancel to return to the deck menu.
*******************************
Now that you know the controls of deck-building, here are some tips on how to
make a good, balanced deck (you need to play a little of the game to get what I
mean).
~ Cover up your weaknesses. Do you notice that Aaron (a man in Dr. Mason's lab
who is willing to duel you) has a Water and Fighting deck, a Grass and Psychic
deck, and a Fire and Lightning deck? This is because he built his decks
smartly, relying on one element's strengths to overlap another element's
weaknesses. For example:
Water types are weak to Lightning types, who are weak to Fighting types.
Poison types (grass) are weak to Psychic types, who are weak to Psychic types.
Fire types are weak to Water types, who are weak to Lightning types.
~ However, you may notice that Aaron never seems to get the right cards out in
play at the right time, so he still loses to you. This is where good Trainer
Cards come into the situation. Since Aaron has two types in his deck, he needs
to have the right type of energy to successfully attack. For this, you need the
Trainers Energy Search and Energy Retrieval. Use Energy Search to search in
your deck for a certain kind of energy, and use Energy Retrieval to take them
out of your discard pile.
~ A deck must have the right amount of energy to win. Depending on your
situation, you might need more or less energys in your deck. In my opinion, you
should have anywhere from 20 to 28 energy in your deck. Keep in mind that if
you have more than one element in your deck, be sure to balance your energys
accordingly.
~ The kinds of Pokemon in the deck need to be right. Your deck needs to have a
strategy, not just to pray for a good card.
~ Be wary of the time your deck needs to set up. If your Pokmeon need lots of
Energy to attack or retreat, be sure to include some Stall Pokemon in your deck
to buy some time.
~ Take a look at some of the most common decks below!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.5: Common Deck Archetypes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archetypes are common deck themes, they constitute most of the decks people
use out there. No matter which you choose, archetypess can give you an edge
over in-game opponents. These are the top archetypes in the Pokemon Trading
Card game. Use these archetypes as you wish, but feel free to modify the
samples I have created in your own decks:
1. Haymaker: An extremely fast attacking deck focused on winning on or before
turn 10. Pokemon requiring only a few Energy to attack are often seen here.
They include Scyther, Electabuzz (base), Magmar (fossil), and Hitmonchan. Here
is a sample Haymaker deck. Note that there are no evolved Pokemon and lots of
Trainer Cards:
*Pokemon (13)*
4x Scyther L25
3x Magmar L31
3x Hitmonchan L33
3x Electabuzz L35
*Trainers (24)*
3x Bill
2x Professor Oak
4x Energy Search
3x Potion
3x Energy Removal
2x Energy Retrieval
2x Gust of Wind
3x Pluspower
2x Computer Search
*Energy (23)*
7x Fire Energy
8x Fighting Energy
7x Lightning Energy
1x Double Colorless Energy
2. Rain Dance: This deck relies on Blastoise's Pokemon Power, Rain Dance. It
lets you attach as many Water Energy as you like to your Pokemon, not just 1
per turn. This deck plans on getting a Squirtle to a Blastoise by turn 3.
Water Pokemon, like Lapras and Dewgong, are commonly found in this deck.
*Pokemon (18)*
4x Squirtle L8
2x Wartortle L22
4x Blastoise L52
3x Lapras L31
3x Seel L12 ^
2x Dewgong L42 ^
*Trainers (19)*
4x Bill
2x Professor Oak
2x Potion
1x Super Potion
2x Energy Removal
1x Super Energy Removal
2x Pokemon Breeder
3x Pokemon Trader
1x Pluspower
1x Gust of Wind
*Energy (23)*
23x Water Energy
^ Seel and Dewgong can be replaced with Magikarp and Gyarados if you're
facing a Lightning-heavy foe.
3. Damage Swap: Using Alakazam's Pokemon Power Damage Swap and Chansey's great
stalling potential, one is able to create a formidable deck. You can add
Pokemon like Mr. Mime and Mew to improve your defense. Full Heal is good in
this deck, since Damage Swap only works if Alakazam is healthy. When your
stallers are about to get knocked out, use Pokemon Center or Scoop Up to
recover them. This is sort of a Stall deck variation.
*Pokemon (19)*
4x Abra L10
3x Kadabra L38
3x Alakazam L42
3x Chansey L55
2x Mew L8
2x Mr. Mime L28
2x Kangaskhan L40
*Trainers (20)*
3x Potion
1x Super Potion
4x Scoop Up
3x Pokemon Center
1x Computer Search
4x Energy Removal
2x Super Energy Removal
2x Full Heal
*Energy (21)*
20x Psychic Energy
1x Double Colorless Energy
4. Stall: The point of this deck is to make CPU players run out of cards, and
to make human opponents get so annoyed that they forfeit the match. The deck
includes great stall Pokemon, like Chansey and Lickitung, plus many Trainer
Cards that shuffle cards back into your deck. Beware, though: a match using
this deck could take up to 60 turns! Very few Energys are in this deck.
*Pokemon (16)*
4x Chansey L55
4x Lickitung L26
4x Kangaskhan L40
4x Snorlax L20
*Trainers (32)*
4x Pokemon Center
4x Scoop Up
4x Potion
4x Energy Removal
4x Item Finder
4x Maintenance
4x Gambler
4x Energy Retrieval
*Energy (12)*
4x Fighting Energy ^
4x Psychic Energy ^
4x Double Colorless Energy
^ Doesn't matter which kinds of Energy you choose; just keep the colorless.
5. Do the Wave: Wigglytuff's Do the Wave attack does damage depending on the
number of Pokemon you have on the bench. Putting 5 Pokemon on the bench means
that you have a 60-power attack each turn. Plus, Lullaby isn't bad either.
Using Trainers like Clefairy Doll and Mysterious Fossil in place of real
Pokemon isn't a bad idea. Feel free to experiment!
*Pokemon (15)*
2x Jigglypuff L13
2x Jigglypuff L14
4x Wigglytuff L36
4x Scyther L25
3x Chansey L55
*Trainers (22)*
4x Bill
2x Professor Oak
3x Clefairy Doll
1x Scoop Up
3x Potion
2x Poke Ball
4x Energy Removal
3x Pokemon Trader
*Energy (23)*
19x Grass Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy
6. Energy Destruction: Without Energy Cards, your opponent won't be able to do
much. Hyper Beam, Whirlpool, and Energy Removal will discard energys from the
opponent at lightning speed. Seemingly foolproof plans can be demolished using
this great strategy. Pluspower is added because Hyper Beam is somewhat weak.
*Pokemon (19)*
3x Psyduck L15
2x Golduck L27
3x Dratini L10
2x Dragonair L33
4x Poliwag L13
3x Poliwhirl L28
2x Poliwrath L48
*Trainers (18)*
2x Bill
4x Energy Removal
3x Super Energy Removal
2x Pokemon Trader
1x Energy Search
3x Pluspower
2x Potion
1x Super Potion
*Energy (23)*
18 Water Energy
3 Psychic Energy
2 Double Colorless Energy
7. Prehistoric Power: This deck is a slight variation of the Haymaker. There's
one big difference: Aerodactyl's Pokemon Power will stop any and all
evolutions, making decks like Rain Dance practically useless. Of course, do
not try to use this against other Haymaker decks. You won't do very well. Here
is a sample deck:
*Pokemon (16)*
4x Aerodactyl L28
4x Scyther L25

8. Energy Trans: Using Venusaur's Pokemon Power, Energy Trans, you have the
ability to move Energys from one Pokemon to another as many times as you wish.
Exeggutor's Big Eggsplosion takes a big advantage from this. Build up your
other Pokemon with Energys, get out Venusaur and Exeggutor, and transfer all
the Energy from other Pokemon onto yours. Then, Eggsplode! Pokemon Breeder is
useful in here, too.

~ Of course, you don't have to follow these Archetypes, although they can give
you a good chance of victory. Follow my guidelines to make a good deck, and be
creative!
~ Good deck-making tips can also be found in Ishihara's bookshelves. See
section 5.13 for more information.
~ You can only carry 4 decks with you at a time. Save all the additional decks
you have made in the Save Machine in Dr. Mason's Lab (more on saving in the

*** 5: Walkthrough ***
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The walkthrough will cover every aspect of your quest. Your goal is to achieve
the Legendary Cards through earning eight Master Medals in the game. If you
defeat the four Grand Masters, guardians of the LegendaryCards, the Legendary
Pokemon--Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Dragonite--will be yours! The eight
Master Medals are possessions of the leaders of the 8 Dueling Clubs (Grass,
Fire, Lightning, Water, Fighting, Psychic, Rock, and Science).
You will face a minimum of 30 duelists in the game:
1 Tech
14 Club Members
8 Club Masters
4 Grand Masters
3 Ronald
You can face a maximum of 42 duelists in this game:
2 Techs
21 Club Members
8 Club Masters
4 Grand Masters
5 Ronald
1 Imakuni?
Your other goal is to collect all the cards in the Pokemon Trading Card Game.
You recieve cards from various Booster Packs that you earn from defeating your
opponents. You can get Colosseum, Mystery, Evolution, or Laboratory packs. Each
pack has different cards, so you must duel lots of people to get all the cards.
Also, some cards can be traded for others, given to people in the game, or
earned by winning contests. Let's get started on your journey!
Note: If "!!!RONALD!!!" ever appears when you're reading this, it means that
Ronald will be waiting to duel you either outside the club or in the Challenge
Hall. Also, a "(+)" by anyone's name means you'll have to duel him/her in order
to progress. Enjoy the Walkthrough!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2: Mason Laboratory
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start a new game and type in your name. You'll be arriving at Dr. Mason's lab.
Dr.Mason, a Pokemon Trading Card Game researcher and top authority, will tell
you all about the game. He will call his fellow researcher, Sam, to have a
practice duel with you. Before that, though, you might want to ask Sam about
the rules of the game...if you skipped section 4.2 of my guide.
*******************************
Practice Duel: Tech Sam (+)
Prizes: 2
Deck: Sam's Practice Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
This is your first duel in the game. Sam will explain everything to you, so
you'll have no problem winning the game (in fact, you can't lose). If you don't
do what Sam says, you won't be able to continue with the duel. After dueling
him the first time, you may talk to Sam and select "Normal Duel". This duel
will go just like the practice duel, but you won't be told what to do. You can
stock up on Energys by winning against Sam, because the Booster Packs he gives
you only contain Energys.
*******************************
After winning the duel, Dr. Mason asks you to choose the deck you want to start
off with in your journey. You may choose these decks:

Pick the deck that you like most. All of the decks have three types of Pokemon
and very little Trainers. Dr. Mason will give you the cards you need and build
the deck for you. If you talk to Sam again, you may review the rules of the
game. The bookcases have good information, but those topics were already
covered in Section 4. There is a PC in the lab (and everywhere else), and you
can read the Mail that Dr. Mason has sent you. Check your mail often, as Dr.
Mason often includes Booster Packs with his mail!
Now, you can go right into the Deck Machine area. Only the Auto Deck Machine is
working right now, since you have to insert Master Medals into the other
machines to make them work. One of the Lab Techs, Aaron, will challenge you to
a duel. Select Yes to accept.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Tech Aaron
Prizes: 4
Decks: Fire and Lightning Deck
Water and Fighting Deck
Grass and Psychic Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Aaron lets you test your deck against his well-balanced decks. The weaknesses
of some types in his deck are covered by some other types. Plan your deck
carefully. Aaron tends to use lots of Pokemon and Energy in his three decks,
but very little Trainer Cards. Use this flaw to your advantage, and try to
overpower his deck. The Booster Pack he gives you if you win contains only
Basic Energy Cards.
*******************************
If you plan on making your own deck, duel Aaron and Sam to get lots of Energy.
Depending on your starting deck, you can choose the Club that you want to head
next. If you have Bulbasaur and Friends, head to the Rock Club. If you picked
Charmander and Friends, go to the Grass Club. If you took Squirtle and Friends,
make your way to the Fire Club. You can visit any of the Clubs whenever you
like, so feel free to skip around in the walkthrough. For my guide, go to the
Rock Club first, and meet Gene, a rock-hard duelist!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3: Rock Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You will see Ronald, your rival, as you enter your first Club (whichever
one it is). He will brag that defeating the first Club Leader was a piece of
cake, and tell you some rules of the Club Leaders. It's kind of ironic if he
tells you about defeating the Grass, Psychic, or Fighting leaders, since you
normally can't duel them yet.
Club Lounge: Every Club has a lounge where people, sometimes other duelists,
hang out. The Rock Club members all focus on fast damage, minimal strategy. Get
some of your best Grass Pokemon into your deck, like Venusaur and Scyther.
After you talk to the Club Leader, check your Mail. Mason will have sent a
Booster Pack!
In this lounge, there is a woman who tells you when Ishihara wants to trade a
card. Chris, a pupil of the Fighting Club Leader, is waiting to duel you by the
Club Entrance. Also, you can duel Matthew, a Rock Club Member, for some easy
Booster Packs.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Rock Club Member Matthew
Prizes: 4
Deck: Hard Pokemon Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster
Matthew uses many Geodudes, Gravelers, and Onixes. They will pose a big threat
to your Lightning Pokemon, but hopefully you remembered to change your deck to
Grass-types. If you did, you should have no problem with his boulders. Matthew
likes to play defensive, so you'll have a couple of problems here and there.
Onix's Rock Throw can only do 10 damage at a time, and Geodude isn't a problem
until it evolves. It is good to have a Grass Pokemon with a Poison-inducing
attack, so your victory will come sooner.
*******************************
Club Center: Now, head inside the Club Center. This is where most of your
opponents are. As you enter, three duelists will be awaiting your challenge. To
the left of the area is Andrew.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Rock Club Member Andrew
Prizes: 4
Deck: Blistering Pokemon Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Andrew uses mainly Rock Pokemon like Cubone, Onix and Rhyhorn, but there is a
twist: he has Ponyta and Rapidash, which can mean a quick end to your
Grasslings. Use a couple of Water Pokemon in your deck, like Lapras and
Vaporeon, and you'll get rid of his Fire-types. He seems to draw few Fighting
energy, so his Rocks won't get powered up very fast.From there, just use your
Plants to finish him off!
*******************************
Head right to face Ryan, who will play with only 3 Prize Cards.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Rock Club Member Ryan
Prizes: 3
Deck: Excavation Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
Ryan is almost pathetically easy, I even defeated him with all Lightning
Pokemon. He uses Sandshrew and Sandslash alot, along with Shellder, Omanyte,
and Kabuto. Use good Grass Pokemon to easily win over this guy. He also uses
Hitmonchan, but he has too many Water Energy in his deck for Hitmonchan to be
effective.
*******************************
Now, face the Club Leader, Gene! Notice that he looks like Professor Oak a
little, and he appears to have a toothpick in his mouth.
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Rock Club Master Gene (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Rock Crusher Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster, Rock Medal
The Club Master, Gene, has a deck full of powerful Rock Pokemon. He takes a
long time to attach Energys to his Rhyhorns and Digletts, but when he adds
enough, they become very powerful! Eliminate this problem by knocking out his
stones before they pelt you back. His deck is made entirely out of Rock
Pokemon.
Here is Gene's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Diglett L8
2x Dugtrio L36
4x Geodude L16
3x Graveler L29
2x Golem L36
3x Onix L12
3x Rhyhorn L18
*Trainers*
2x Professor Oak
1x Pokemon Breeder
2x Energy Removal
2x Switch
1x Computer Search
2x Defender
2x Potion
1x Super Potion
*Energy*
24x Fighting Energy
2x Double Colorless Energy
Gene power ups his Geodudes into Golems on his bench, so try to Gust of Wind
his Geodude in while it's still molting. He will add Defenders to his Golems
before using Selfdestruct, and use Potion to get them back in healthy
condition. All his Pokemon are weak to Grass types, especially Scyther (with
a Fighting Resistance).
*******************************
*******************************
Gene will give you two Booster Packs once he is defeated, along with the Rock
Master Medal! Remember to insert it into the Rock Medal Deck Machine back at
Mason Laboratory, and make new decks with it. Now, you can head to the Grass
Club and face Nikki, queen of Grass Pokemon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.4: Grass Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: This Club's Pokemon can almost all be defeated with solid Fire
Pokemon, like Magmar. A girl in the Grass Club wants to trade an Oddish for a
Vileplume because of her obssession with the sprout Pokemon. It's a rip-off for
her, really.
Make the trade if you have the card. You may notice Michael from the Fighting
Club hanging out here. Proceed to duel Brittany, who is by the card desk in the
Lounge. She will tell you to beat three of the Members to be able to duel the
Club Leader.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Grass Club Member Brittany (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Etcetera Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster
Although Brittany uses mostly Grass Pokemon, she has too many other types of
Pokemon bunched in (hence her deck's name). She has too many excess Gastlys,
Jynx, and Machops in her deck, with not enough correct Energy types to power
them up. Since Colorless, non-flying Pokemon have a resistance to Ghost-types,
you should add some Colorless-types (does that even make sense?) to your Fire
army to make the duel go quicker.
*******************************
Club Center: After you beat Brittany, head to the Club Center. Duel Heather,
the first person you'll see.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Grass Club Member Heather (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Kaleidoscope Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Along with using Grass Pokemon, like Oddish, Heather likes to mess things up a
bit using Colorless Pokemon like Porygon and Ditto. Ditto isn't much of a
threat, but Porygon may change its resistance to your type. Also, Porygon can
change your weakness to Grass, then whip out a Grassling. Deal with Porygon and
Ditto with strong Fighters, like Machop and Hitmonchan, and use Fire Pokemon
and finish off the rest of her Pokemon. Also, she sometimes may whip out a
Vaporeon, which can mean trouble for your Fire pals, so be prepared.
*******************************
Now, head to Kristin. She is to your upper left.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Grass Club Member Kristin (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Flower Garden Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
Kristin's deck focuses on the Oddish family (Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume) and the
Bellsprout family (Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victrebell). In these Pokemon, the
first stage evolution is actually more powerful than the second stage, in terms
of attacks. Be prepared for Gloom's and Weepinbell's Razor Leaf. Kristin uses
a couple of Lickitung to stall while she powers up Oddish and Bellsprout on the
bench. Use a couple of Gust of Winds to knock out these sprouts early in the
game with Fire Pokemon.
*******************************
After you defeat the last Club Member, she will tell you that Nikki, the Club
Leader, is hanging out at Ishihara's house. Go there, and talk to her. she will
come back to her Club and duel you. If you do not defeat the Grass Club
members, Nikki won't appear.
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Grass Club Master Nikki (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Flower Power Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster, Grass Medal
Nikki has some awesome potential in her deck. She has two formidable Grass
Pokemon, Venusaur and Exeggutor, and together, they may be able to defeat you.
Venusaur, using its Pokemon Power of Energy Trans, can transfer Energys to
Exeggutor, who can use Big Eggsplosion to cause tons of damage. Venusaur's
Solarbeam isn't bad, either.
Here is Nikki's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Bulbasaur L13
3x Ivysaur Lv.20
2x Venusaur Lv.67
4x Oddish Lv.8
3x Gloom Lv.22
2x Vileplume Lv.35
4x Exeggcute Lv.14
3x Exeggutor Lv.35
*Trainers*
2x Professor Oak
3x Bill
2x Pokemon Breeder
2x Energy Retrieval
2x Switch
2x Potion
*Energy*
18x Grass Energy
4x Psychic Energy
With some good Fire Pokemon, like Arcanine and Rapidash, and a bit of luck on
your side (i.e. when the Big Eggsplosion coin flips tails), you should be able
to come out victorious. Nikki also includes some other Grass types, like
Oddish, in her deck. Burn them to a crisp. Watch out for her Pokemon Breeder,
as her Vileplume/Venusaur can catch you off-guard.
*******************************
You'll be awarded with the Grass Master Medal if you win, along with two
Laboratory Booster Packs. Now, make your way over to the Fire Club for your
showdown with the fiery foe, Ken!
!!!RONALD!!!
Your rival, Ronald, will appear after you get your second Master Medal, and he
will challenge you to a duel that you can't refuse. If you win, you get a
Promotional Card, Jigglypuff, which brings you a step closer to your goal of
getting all the cards. Check section 5.14 for information on how to beat him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.5: Fire Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: Water-Types are a neccessity to defeat this Club's opponents. In
this lounge, a Lad wants you to give him all of your Energy Cards that are not
in your decks. It may seem rediculous at first, but if you do give the Energys
to the guy, he'll tell you about a rare card hidden in the picture beside the
bookcases. Here is a trick: put as many Energy Cards in your decks (all four of
them) and just add a Basic Pokemon to make the game think it's a deck.
Now, give the Lad your extra Energy only, and you won't lose so much! But, if
you empty ALL of your Energys in your decks, he will leave and not give you the
card. This is a one-time offer, so don't miss out! You'll get a Promotional
Slowpoke for your kindness. Also, someone in the club tells you that Ishihara
wants to trade a rare card! It's in your best interest to go. Finally, Jessica
from the Fighting Club is training here.
Club Center: When you're finished, head towards the Club Center, where four
duelists are lurking. John is the first duelist in line.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Fire Club Member John
Prizes: 4
Deck: Anger Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
Although John mainly uses Fire Pokemon, he has a few Fighting Pokemon up his
sleeve. Also, he likes playing Tauros excessively, and he has a lot of Double
Colorless Energy to quickly power him up. Use Water and Fighting Pokemon to
extinguish his Pokemon. You may have some trouble with Tauros' Rampage attack,
since it can do 70 damage in a pinch if he's about to die. Just use some Energy
Removals to do the job.
*******************************
Now, head to the next duelist, Adam.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Fire Club Member Adam
Prizes: 4
Deck: Flamethrower Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Adam's deck is made strictly of Fire Pokemon (with the exception of Eevee, who
doesn't count because it evolves into a Fire Pokemon). Use this to your
advantage, and build a deck solely out of Water Pokemon. You'll win the battle
very easily. Be wary, though: once his heavy hitters, like Arcanine and
Flareon, are powered up, they can rule the battlefield with thier Flamethrower
(also the name of his deck) attacks.
*******************************
After defeating Adam, go ahead and face Johnathan. Isn't his name the longer
version of John's?
*******************************
Normal Duel: Fire Club Member Johnathan
Prizes: 4
Deck: Reshuffle Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Johnathan has a lot of Colorless Pokemon in his deck, including Lickitung,
Tauros, Kangaskhan, and Pidgey. He uses three families of Fire Pokemon:
Growlithe/Arcanine, Ponyta/Rapidash, and Vulpix/Ninetails. Build a Water and
Fighting deck, with quick hitters like Hitmonchan, Lapras, and Hitmonlee to
counter Johnathan's deck. Add a couple Gust of Winds to switch his weak Pokemon
in. You shouldn't have a real problem defeating him.
*******************************
Head to the Fire Club Leader, Ken, and let the match begin!
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Fire Club Master Ken (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Fire Charge Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster, Fire Medal
You have to collect over 130 cards in order to face the Fire Club Master, Ken.
Ken uses a balance between Fire and Colorless Pokemon. He has many Chanseys,
who post not a big threat, but are hard to take out. When you're working on his
Chanseys, though, he'll power up his other Pokemon, like Arcanine and
Jigglypuff.
Here is Ken's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Growlithe L18
3x Arcanine L45
2x Magmar L24
1x Jigglypuff L14
3x Jigglypuff L12
1x Wigglytuff L36
2x Tauros L32
2x Chansey L55
*Trainers*
2x Bill
2x Energy Retrieval
1x Professor Oak
1x Poke Ball
1x Computer Search
2x Defender
3x Potion
1x Recycle
1x Gambler
*Energy*
21x Fire Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy
You may notice that many of his attacks do recoil damage back to his Pokemon.
Use this to your advantage. When his Chansey/Arcanine are about to use their
recoil moves, retreat to a weak Pokemon and absorb the damage. Now, switch to
your heavy attackers and finish the weakened opponent off. Keep this strategy
up, and you will eventually defeat Ken.
*******************************
Ken will give you two Mystery Booster Packs when he is doused, along with the
Fire Medal. You should be getting lots of cards by now, so try and build a deck
resembling one of the archetypes I've listed in section 4.5. Dueling with
archetypes will make your life easier. After you're done, head to the Lightning
Club and face its electifying Club Leader, Issac!
!!!RONALD!!!
After winnig the third Master Medal, the Challenge Cup will be held in the
Challenge Hall. Face three duelists, the final one being Ronald, to win a
Promotional Card, Mewtwo. See section 5.12 for details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.6: Lightning Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: Chap is hanging around in this Club Lounge and is willing to
exchange your L35 Electabuzz for his L20 Electabuzz. The L20 is a Promotional
Card, so you might want to make the trade. However, the L35 one does much
better in a duel. After trading, go the the Club Center
The Club Leader, Issac, is fixing the lights on the stage, so you need to duel
the other members first in order for him to finish. Use Fighting and Rock
Pokemon like Hitmonchan, Machamp, Sandslash, and Rhydon to get rid of all the
Lightning Club duelists.
Club Center: Head to the Club Center, where you'll have to face three duelists.
Jennifer will be the nearest person.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Lightning Club Member Jennifer (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Pikachu Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster
Pika-Pika-Pikachu! Jennifer uses only Pikachu in her deck. They all only have
between 40-60 HP. That means a good blow from any type of attacker (expecially
Fighting) will knock them out. With the exception of Flying Pikachu, all the
Pikachus have a Weakness to Fighting. But, Flying Pikachu has a Fighting
Resistance, so it might be good to pack a few Colorless Pokemon (not flying)
along with your fighters. If you use only Lightning-Resistance Pokemon, you
won't take any damage, since her Pikachus are unable to cause more than 30
damage per turn.
*******************************
Head to your left, and face Nicholas, who likes to Self-Destruct his poor
Lightning Pokemon.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Lightning Club Member Nicholas (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Boom Boom Self-Destruct Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Nicholas uses a strange balance between Lightning Pokemon, Fighting Pokemon,
and Grass Pokemon of the poison variety. Most of his Pokemon know the
Selfdestruct attack, which deals lots of damage to both his Pokemon and yours.
Selfdestruct can attack your/his Bench Pokemon, too, so don't think your Bench
is safe! Many Magnetons, Golems and Weezings are found in his deck, so use
Psychic, Grass, and Fighting Pokemon to counter them.
*******************************
Go to the last Club Member, Brandon. He'll tell you what Issac is doing.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Lightning Club Member Brandon (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Power Generator Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Brandon's deck contains only Lightning Pokemon, like Voltorb, Pikachu, and
Electabuzz. Use lots of Fighting Pokemon to capitalize on that. Unfortunately,
Brandon has Zapdos in his deck that has a Resistance to Fighting and no
Weakness. Moreso, it has two extremely powerful attacks that will harm your
Pokemon, even if they have Lightning Resistance. Be sure to add some other
types of Pokemon, like Tauros and Scyther, into your deck.
*******************************
Now, face the Lightning Club Leader, Issac, who is finally done fixing the
stage's lights.
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Lightning Club Master Issac (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Zapping Self-destruct Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster, Lightning Medal
Like fellow Club Member, Nicholas, Issac's deck is built on the Selfdestruct
attacks of his Pokemon. Kangaskhan and other Colorless Pokemon are ever-present
in his deck along with his Lightning rods. All of his Pokemon are weak to
Fighting Pokemon, so Build an all-Fighting deck to counter his electrical
onslaught.
Here is Issac's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Voltorb L10
2x Electrode L35
4x Magnemite L13
3x Magneton L28
4x Electabuzz L35
1x Tauros L32
2x Kangaskhan L40
*Trainers*
2x Switch
2x Bill
1x Professor Oak
4x Defender
4x Potion
1x Gust of Wind
*Energy*
24x Lightning Energy
2x Double Colorless Energy
Issac will attach Defender onto his Pokemon before using Selfdestruct, and use
lots of Potions to get them back in healthy condition. Then, he'll try to
repeat the strategy and do a lot of damage. Watch out for Electabuzz's quick
Thunderpunch attack and Tauros' Rampage. You'll win soon enough with your
Hitmonchan and Machamp.
*******************************
The Lightning Master Medal will be yours after he is defeated, along with two
Mystery Booster Packs. Make your way over to the Science Club to face Rick, the
scientist wonder!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.7: Science Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: There is a boy in the Club Lounge that is a good friend of
Ishihara's. He will tell you about how Ishihara wants to trade a rare card.
About Ishihara, see section 5.13 on what cards he wants to trade. Check your
computer. You should have gotten lots of Booster Packs as gifts from Dr. Mason
by now.
This Club's members focus on Grass (poison), Colorless (flying), and Psychic
Pokemon. A deck with Psychic and Colorless Pokemon will do you well in
countering the club's duelists.
Club Center: Head into the Club Center and face the four scientists there. Erik
is first in line.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Science Club Member Erik
Prizes: 4
Deck: Poison Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
As stated by his deck name, Erik likes to inflict the status effect Poison onto
your Pokemon to gain the advantage. To do so, he has toxic pals like Arbok,
Beedrill, and Weezing. Most of his Pokemon are weak to Psychic but strong
against Fighting (rock), so make a Psychic deck and you'll do well. Don't
forget some Full Heals and Switches! Oh, and always hope the Poison coin will
land tails.
*******************************
Head rightwards and upwards to face David, who is currently fixing a deck-
making machine.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Science Club Member David
Prizes: 4
Deck: Lovely Nidoran Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster
David likes Nidoran and its evolutions. With Nidoqueen's Boyfriends, he can do
20 damage plus 20 more damage for each Nidoking. Be extremely careful about
Nidoran F's Call for Family, as it can call for Nidoran M and evolve them into
Nidoking. David has many Pokemon Breeders in his deck, making the evolution
process faster. Nidoqueen's Mega Punch and Nidoking's Toxic are both things you
should watch out for. Use a powerful Psychic deck for an easy win.
*******************************
Go to the man who's blocking the Club Master. Joseph tells you that Rick is
busy, and you must face him first.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Science Club Member Joseph (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Flyin' Pokemon Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster
Take off! Joseph has Colorless (flying) and Grass (poison) Pokemon in his
possession. To defeat these high-flyers, zap them with bolts of electricity or
confuse them with ESP skills. In other words, use an Lightning and Psychic
Pokemon deck to defeat his Pokemon. Watch out for Golbat's Mega Drain and
Dodrio's Retreat Aid, though.
*******************************
Joseph will arrogantly clear your path to Rick, who will challenge you.
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Science Club Master Rick (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Wonders of Science Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster, Science Medal
The deck Rick is dueling with focuses on Muk's Pokemon Power, Toxic Gas. This
power will prevent other Pokemon Powers from being used. So, keep your Rain
Dance and Energy Trans decks in the shoebox and try to overpower him with brute
force. Rick also has Koffings and Weezings in his deck, but they take a long
time to power up.
Here is Rick's deck:
*Pokemon*
2x Porygon L12
2x Mewtwo L53
1x Mewtwo L60
1x Mewtwo L60 (different illustration)
4x Grimer L17
4x Koffing L13
3x Muk L34
3x Weezing L27
*Trainers*
2x Professor Oak
1x Imposter Professor Oak
2x Bill
2x Energy Search
2x Switch
2x Computer Search
2x Maintenance
2x Pokedex
2x Full Heal
*Energy*
15x Grass Energy
8x Psychic Energy
Note that Rick has four Mewtwos. Mewtwo is weak to Psychic types, so put a lot
of Gastlys (fossil), Haunters (fossil), and Gengars in your deck for best
results. The ghosts have no weakness while Mewtwo has one, giving you the
advantage. Just don't expect their Pokemon Powers Transparency and Curse to
work when Muk is in play. You'll have little trouble defeating him otherwise.
*******************************
Rick will hand over the Science Master Medal when you win over him and two
Laboratory Booster Packs (I wonder why). Make your way to the Psychic Club and
Murray, the Psychic Strategist!
!!!RONALD!!!
Well, your pal Ronald happens to meet you after you earn your fifth Medal. He
wants to challenge you to a duel, just like before, with a Super Energy
Retrieval at stake. But this time, his deck has improved significantly, and it
takes some more strategy to take him out. Your rival is also waiting for you at
the Challenge Hall, so be sure to check out the appropriate sections of the FAQ
for hints!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.8: Psychic Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: Pappy in the Psychic Club Lounge is tired about Murray's ever-
constant boasting. Pappy hates people who think too highly of themselves, and
wants you to beat Murray in a duel. He will willingly give you a promotional
card, Mewtwo, if you successfully beat his Psychic Pokemon.
Psychic Pokemon are weak to themselves. That means you'll also have to stay on
the defensive side when attacking in a Psychic versus Psychic situation. Ghost-
types are a variation of Psychics that aren't weak to anything. Robert, a guy
hanging out by the bookshelves, boasts about his Ghost Pokemon and how strong
they are because they have no weaknesses.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Psychic Club Member Robert
Prizes: 4
Deck: Ghost Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
Like his deck's name implies, Robert uses Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar as the
strongholds in his deck. He has also thrown in some Colorless Pokemon, like
Ditto and Meowth. Finally, Robert has a bunch of Zubats. Build a strong deck of
Colorless (non-flying) Pokemon, like Tauros and Raticate, since they are
resistant to Psychic attacks. Robert likes to Recycle his Ghosts, but Recycle
is not very reliable. Also, he has lots of Base Gastlys and Haunters, who are
weak and should be used to your advantage.
*******************************
Club Center: The Psychic Club Members will not want to challenge you if you
aren't experienced enough. You must have 2 Master Medals before you can duel
anyone. Go left to face Daniel.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Psychic Club Member Daniel
Prizes: 4
Deck: Nap Time Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
Sleep is a side effect that relies on luck. If you don't get heads on the coin
toss on your turn, it's like being paralyzed. So, for whatever reason, you keep
getting tails on the coin tosses, you might want to add some Full Heals and
Switches to your deck for insurance. Daniel uses the families of Paras, Gastly,
Jigglypuff, and Exeggcute in his deck. One more thing, Snorlax owns Daniel's
deck with its Thick Skinned Pokemon Power.
*******************************
Over to your right is Stephanie.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Psychic Club Member Stephanie
Prizes: 4
Deck: Strange Power Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster
Stephanie's deck focuses on having the Pokemon Powers of her different Psychic
Pokemon to protect her from enemy assults. She has Mew, whose Neurtalizing
Shield protects it from Evolution Pokemon, Mr. Mime, whose Invisible Wall
absorbs heavy damage for it, and Snorlax, whose Thick Skinned keeps it from
being Paralyzed, Confused, Asleep, or Poisoned. To defeat this deck, use a
Haymaker archetype from section 4.5, as Haymaker Pokemon aren't affected by
these Pokemon Powers.
*******************************
Three down, one to go. Psychic Club Leader Murray and his Psychic deck make a
formidable team!
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Psychic Club Leader Murray (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Strange Psyshock Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster, Psychic Medal
Murray unleashes the full potential of his Stall deck variation using
Alakazam's Damage Swap and many Stallers. Along with the Abra family, Murray
also has some annoying Pokemon to stall. Chansey has Scrunch and 120 HP,
Snorlax has protection from status effects, Kangaskhan has Fetch to get more
cards, and Mr. Mime provides extra defense. Use a Colorless Deck with Gengar
and Sandslash to defeat Murray.
Here is Murray's deck:
*Pokemon*
2x Mr. Mime L28
4x Abra L10
3x Kadabra L38
2x Alakazam L42
2x Snorlax L20
3x Chansey L55
3x Kanghaskhan L40
*Trainers*
2x Professor Oak
3x Energy Removal
4x Switch
2x Pokemon Center
4x Scoop Up
3x Gust of Wind
1x Gambler
*Energy*
22x Psychic Energy
The thing that'll really freak you out is when Murray uses Scoop Up or Pokemon
Center on his Chansey when it has 10 HP left. This is when Gust of Wind and
Pluspower come into play. Gust of Wind his Abras out to kill them early, and
use Pluspower for some extra damage that just might knock Chansey out. Read
section 4.5 for more information on how a Damage Swap deck works. Murray has a
lot of Energy Removals to keep you uncharged, so you better retaliate with some
Removals of your own.
Here is a good strategy submitted by DonCorleone2002:
>> Basically I used the same stall strategy he does. I built a deck made up of
>> Psychic Pokemon and Colourless Pokemon that are hard to knock out. For
>> example Porygon, which can become resistant to psychic Pokemon if you use
>> one of its attacks, and Mr. Mime, which has a Pokemon power that blocks
>> powerful attacks. Also the Mew that has "Neutralise Shield" is helpful.
>> Additionally I put in cards like Super Potion to reduce damage even further
>> to my Pokemon. Even if you don't have exactly the same cards Murray does,
>> you can still use the same techniques against him. My deck worked. He ran
>> out of cards he could draw from his deck whilst I still had cards left. So
>> he lost. I beat him easily, without having to take any of his prizes. All I
>> had to do was build the right kind of deck and wait for him to run out of
>> cards. Even if you are the one who plays first, instead of him, you can
>> still win using Mr. [Fuji] to put your own cards back in the deck (otherwise
>> you'll run out of cards before he does.)
*******************************
After the demise of Murray, you'll be rewarded with the Psychic Master Medal
and two Laboratory Booster Packs. Well, now it's time to replace strategy with
force and head to Mitch, the ferocious Fighting foe!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.9: Fighting Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: There is a man in the Fighting Club Lounge who asks you for lots
of rare cards. You may think this is an unfair deal, but when you give him the
five cards he asks for, he'll give you a L16 Promotional Pikachu. I think it's
a major rip-off, since you have to give a Golem, an Omastar, a Parasect, a
Rapidash, and a Weezing. You do not give all these cards to him at once, since
he only asks for one card at a time.
The Fighting Club's main weakness is Psychic Pokemon, but I suggest only
putting a couple of Psychics in your deck. Why? most the Club Members have
Colorless Pokemon, who have Resistances to Psychic Pokemon. Many Pokemon, like
Scyther, Pidgeot, and Golbat, have Fighting Resistances, which can be a real
help against the quick Fighters. Plan your deck carefully...
Club Center: The first time you enter the Fighting Club Center, you might
notice there's only one guy here. Mitch, the Club Leader, will tell you about
his pupils training in various different Gyms. He will only challenge you when
you have defeated his pupils. Head to the Rock Club and face Chris, who is by
the bookshelves.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Fighting Club Member Chris (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Muscles for Brains Deck
Reward: Evolution Booster
Chris uses many Hitmonlees and Hitmonchans in his deck, along with some Mankeys
and Colorless Pokemon. Use a balance between Psychic and Fighting Pokemon to
deal the most damage on this guy. Be sure to bring some Potions, as Chris tends
to attack rather quickly. If you are using a Fighting-resistant deck, watch out
for Hitmonlee's Stretch Kick, which ignores Weakness and Resistance. Scyther
and Farfetch'd are good Pokemon with Fighting Resistance.
*******************************
Go to the Fire Club and meet up with Jessica, who is sitting at the table in
the Club.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Fighting Club Member Jessica (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Love to Battle Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
It appears that Jessica actually has more Colorless Pokemon than Fighting
Pokemon. The only Fighters she seems to use are the Machop family and the
Mankey family, who pose little threat until evolved. Jessica's Colorless
Pokemon include Rattata, Tauros, and Doduo. Use a Fighting Pokemon deck to win
against Jessica. Watch out when she gets a Machamp out, since it is very hard
to take out!
*******************************
Head for the Grass Club and duel with Michael, who is at the Club Entrance.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Fighting Club Member Michael (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Heated Battle Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
The deck Michael uses has a big weakness: too many types! Michael has Fire,
Fighting, Lightning, and Colorless Pokemon in his deck, like Mankey, Magmar,
Kangaskhan, and Electabuzz. He never seems to get the right type of Energys to
attack, so use this to your advantage. His Magmar should be the biggest threat
with its Fire Punch and Flamethrower. Build up a deck of Fighting and Water
Pokemon to counter his team.
*******************************
Go back to the Fighting Club. Mitch will be surprised that all his pupils have
been defeated, and will agree to test your strength!
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Fighting Club Master Mitch (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: First-Strike Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster, Fighting Metal
This deck is probably the closest the game ever comes to a Haymaker deck, and
it's not very close to the real thing. Mitch only has Fighting Pokemon and no
Colorless ones, making him a prime target for your Psychic Pokemon to defeat.
Use the Gastly family for best results, since they have a Fighting Resistance,
too. Gengar's Curse is good for Knocking Out Benched Pokemon.
Here is Mitch's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Mankey L7
1x Primeape L35
4x Machop L20
3x Machoke L40
2x Machamp L67
2x Hitmonchan L33
4x Hitmonlee L30
*Trainers*
4x Bill
2x Switch
2x Pluspower
2x Defender
3x Gust of Wind
2x Potion
*Energy*
25x Fighting Energy
Mitch will Gust of Wind any of your weaker Pokemon into the Arena for a quick
kill, so don't leave Pokemon on the Bench unaided. His Hitmonlee has two
attacks that can actually do decent damage to your I recommend a deck with
Abra, Gastly (fossil), Mewtwo (Promo), and Scyther (free Retreat). You should
beat him quickly by following my guidelines.
*******************************
After being defeated, Mitch will fork over your Fighting Medal and two
Laboratory Booster Packs to add to your collection. You should be getting a lot
of cards by now, so you might want to make some decks of your own; decks that
follow a theme instead of a type. Afterwards, head for the Water Club and face
Amy for the final Master Medal!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.10: Water Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Lounge: In the Lounge of this Club, a girl wants to trade her Promotional
Arcanine for your Lapras. Make the trade if you have a Lapras, but beware that
the Promotional Arcanine isn't as good as the regular one. Someone else in the
Club will make Imakuni? appear randomly in the Club Lounges. Imakuni?, a strange
dancing duelist, is explained in section 5.15.
The Water Pokemon used in this Club have a main weakness to Lightning Pokemon.
However, two families of Water-types, Poliwag and Magikarp, are weak to Grass
Pokemon. Use a couple of each type, like Scyther and Electabuzz, to defeat the
Water Club Members. Head to the Club Center.
Club Center: It's too bad you can't swim in the pool here... Go to the nearest
duelist, Sara. She's to your left, by the chair.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Water Club Member Sara (+)
Prizes: 2
Deck: Waterfront Pokemon Deck
Reward: Colosseum Booster
Other than Sam, this is your only duel with two prizes. Use this easy duel to
brush up on your skills. The battle should go very quickly not just because of
the prizes, but because Sara has weak Pokemon, like Goldeen and Magikarp. Use
Lightning Pokemon like Raichu and Electrode as a base to your deck, and add
some Scythers to top it off.
*******************************
Head to your right and face Sara's twin sister, Amanda.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Water Club Member Amanda (+)
Prizes: 3
Deck: Lovely Friends Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster
Amanda uses an archetype-based deck: using Wigglytuff's Do The Wave attack and
a full Bench, she can do 60 HP per turn. Things can get ugly when it's set up.
To counter her deck, use an archetype of your own, preferably the Haymaker. See
section 4.5 for more information. Amanda uses Mysterious Fossils and Clefairy
Dolls as Pokemon substitutes in her Bench. Watch out for her Scyther, as it is
resistant against Fighters.
*******************************
Go upwards to meet Joshua, the Club Leader's "bodyguard". He commands you to
fight Sara and Amanda first, but since you've already done that (or are you not
following my walkthrough?), he'll challenge you. Joshua won't let you duel Amy
until you beat him first.
*******************************
Normal Duel: Water Club Member Joshua (+)
Prizes: 4
Deck: Sound of the Waves Deck
Reward: Mystery Booster
This is the only member in the Club that actually uses four prizes. Joshua
likes to have Krabby and Kingler in his deck. He uses Krabby's Call For Family
attack to bring more Krabbys into the Bench. Keep an eye out for Kingler's
Crabhammer attack and the various Energy Removals he uses. Have Lightning-types
like Electabuzz ready to dry out his team.
*******************************
Joshua will let you through. After a short conversation with Amy, the Club
Leader, you will be able to duel.
*******************************
Club Leader Duel: Water Club Master Amy (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Go Go Rain Dance Deck
Reward: Laboratory Booster, Water Medal
Amy is another duelist who uses an archetype in her deck. In case you haven't
read section 4.5, Blastoise's Rain Dance Pokemon Power allows for the user to
attach as many Energy as desired, on any turn. The power is very powerful! You
have to get your Electabuzzes and Scythers out as soon as possible to gain the
upper hand.
Here is Amy's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Squirtle L8
3x Wartortle L22
2x Blastoise L52
2x Lapras L31
3x Horsea L19
2x Seadra L23
4x Goldeen L12
3x Seaking L28
*Trainers*
2x Professor Oak
1x Energy Retrieval
1x Gambler
1x Pokemon Breeder
1x Super Energy Retrieval
2x Energy Removal
1x Super Energy Removal
2x Potion
2x Switch
*Energy*
24x Water Energy
Make turtle soup from her Squirtles before they become more formidable, and
Amy's strategy will be demolished. Watch out for Amy's Pokemon Breeder; it
comes when you least expect it. Notice that the Pokemon Power will not work if
Blastoise is infected with a status alignment, so try to Paralyze of Confuse
Blastoise if it does get put in play.
*******************************
Hopefully, you'll have thwarted Amy's Rain Dance plans and gotten your final
Medal. Now, grab your Laboratory Booster Packs and head for the Pokemon Dome,
where your final challenges await!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.11: Pokemon Dome
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dome Lounge: Be sure to read the books on the bookshelves to your left. They
tell about the Grand Masters and the types of cards they're using. Modify your
deck as you feel fit, check your computer for any new mail from Dr. Mason, and
go to the Grand Hall!
Below is a list of the stuff written on the bookshelves.
~ The first of the Legendary Pokemon Cards is Lv37 Moltres. With Firegiver, you
can place Fire Energy Cards in your Hand! Also, Dive Bomb is a powerful attack!
Grand Master Courtney, the Fire Queen, owns this card!
~ The second Legendary Pokemon Card is Lv68 Zapdos. With Peal of Thunder, just
putting this card on the bench causes damage! Also, Big Thunder is a powerful
attack! The Thunder Grand Master, Steve, owns this card!
~ The third Legendary Pokemon Card is Lv37 Articuno. Its Quickfreeze will
paralyze opponents' Pokemon when the card is in play! Also, Ice Breath is a
powerful attack! Grand Master Jack, the Ice-man, owns this card!
~ The fourth Legendary Pokemon Card is Lv41 Dragonite. Its Healing Wind will
heal damage done to Pokemon when this card is played! Also, Slam is a powerful
attack! Rod, Leader of the Grand Masters, owns this card!
~ Courtney, Steve, Jack and Rod - the 4 Grand Masters who defend the Legendary
Pokemon Cards - are all master players of the Pokemon Trading Card Game!
~ There are a total of 8 Master Medals owned by the Club Masters. It is said
that the secret of their Club's deck is encrypted in the Master Medals. Some
say the Medals were a gift from the Grand Masters.
Enter the Grand Hall, and face your first challenge, Courtney, the Fire Grand
Master. Rod will be your host in the duels, and he gives you the option to
prepare before each duel. Use that time to modify your deck and save the game.
If you lose a match to someone and your game was saved before, simply restart
and duel again.
*******************************
Grand Master Duel: Grand Master Courtney (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Legendary Moltres Deck
Reward: Advance to Steve
Finally, some different music in the duel... Courtney uses power Fire Pokemon
in her deck like Arcanine, Ninetails, and Moltres. Firegiver, Moltres' Pokemon
Power, will bring Energy Cards to her Hand and power up her Pokemon. Dive Bomb
is powerful, but unreliable. All of her Pokemon require tremendous amounts of
Energy to power up. Use this to your advantage.
Here is Courtney's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Vulpix L11
3x Ninetailes L35
4x Growlithe L18
2x Arcanine L45
2x Moltres L35
2x Moltres L37 (Legendary)
2x Magmar L24
2x Magmar L31
*Trainers*
2x Lass
1x Energy Retrieval
1x Super Energy Retrieval
3x Bill
1x Pokemon Trader
2x Energy Removal
1x Potion
2x Switch
1x Super Potion
*Energy*
25x Fire Energy
This is your chance to use the Energy Destruction archetype listed in section
4.5. Since Courtney cannot attach more than one energy at a time, your
Dragonair/Poliwrath/Golduck will make short work of her. Watch out for her
Energy Removals, though. If you don't have the right cards for Energy
Destruction (or you simply don't want to), you can make an all-Water Pokemon
deck to defeat Courtney.
*******************************
After defeating her, Courtney will step aside and Steve, the Lightning Grand
Master, will take her place. Save your game before dueling him!
*******************************
Grand Master Duel: Grand Master Steve (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Legendary Zapdos Deck
Reward: Advance to Jack
The Lightning Grand Master, Steve, can be tricky to defeat. His Lightning
deck's main weakness is Fighting, but he uses four Zapdos cards who have
Fighting Resistances. To defeat the Zapdos, have some Scythers in your deck to
do the trick. If a Zapdos appears and you don't have Scyther, have Pokemon
Trader to find Scyther and Switch to make Scyther active. Scyther was chosen
because it can take any type of Energy.
Here is Steve's deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Electabuzz L35
4x Voltorb L10
3x Electrode L35
3x Eevee L12
2x Jolteon L29
1x Zapdos L40
1x Zapdos L64
2x Zapdos L68 (Legendary)
*Trainers*
4x Bill
1x Gambler
2x Energy Retrieval
2x Switch
3x Potion
3x Pluspower
*Energy*
25x Lightning Energy
If you don't have many Scyther in your deck yet, use some non-Flying Colorless
Pokemon, like Tauros and Kangaskhan. Like Courtney, most of Steve's Pokemon
take at least 3 turns to power up. He likes to attack quickly with Electabuzz
active and power up Zapdos and Electrode on the Bench. Energy Removal and Gust
of Wind are very good against him! Watch out for his Pluspower, and pack a
couple of Potions just in case.
*******************************
Steve, when defeated, will be replaced by the Ice Grand Master, Jack. Save your
game and modify your deck before dueling.
*******************************
Grand Master Duel: Grand Master Jack (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Legendary Articuno Deck
Reward: Advance to Rod
If you hate Stall decks (and most people do), you will hate Jack's deck without
a doubt. Jack's deck is a more aggressive Stall than Murray's deck from the
Psychic Club, and its main focus is to power up heavy hitters on the Bench.
Jack's Chanseys and Laprases will do the stalling and absorb HP, while Dewgong
and Articuno are powered up. Watch Jack's Bench, and don't let it overpower
yours!
Here is Jack's deck:
*Pokemon*
3x Chansey L55
4x Seel L12
3x Dewgong L42
2x Articuno L35
2x Articuno L37 (Legendary)
4x Lapras L31
2x Ditto L19
*Trainers*
2x Professor Oak
2x Pokemon Trader
3x Energy Retrieval
3x Switch
4x Gambler
4x Scoop Up
*Energy*
25x Water Energy
Once again, watch out for Jack's Scoop Up. Chansey will be fully healed in the
blink of an eye the minute he uses it. When you think Jack has a Scoop Up and
is about to use it, use the Trainer Lass to mess him up greatly. Lass will make
both duelists shuffle their Trainers back into their decks. Use a Lightning and
Fighting deck against Jack. I've found that the Haymaker archetype (section
4.5) works well. Base Articuno has powerful attacks!
*******************************
If you manage to beat Jack, you're in for a duel with the Leader of the Grand
Masters, Dragon Grand Master Rod! For the fourth time, save your game and
modify your deck before you duel.
*******************************
Grand Master Duel: Grand Master Rod (+)
Prizes: 6
Deck: Legendary Dragonite Deck
Reward: Advance to Ronald
Rod seems easier than the other Grand Masters to defeat, but that's probably
because his Legendary Card, Dragonite, is a Stage 2 Evolution instead of a
Basic Pokemon. Use this to your advantage, and Knock Out Dratini as fast as
possible. Do the same with Magikarp and Charmander, and Rod will be toast with
no Basic Pokemon to evolve.
Here is Rod's deck:
*Pokemon*
3x Magikarp L8
2x Gyarados L41
3x Charmander L10
2x Charmeleon L32
2x Charizard L76
2x Kangaskhan L40
4x Dratini L10
3x Dragonair L33
2x Dragonite L41 (Legendary)
2x Lapras L31
*Trainers*
1x Energy Retrieval
1x Super Energy Retrieval
2x Professor Oak
2x Pokemon Breeder
2x Pokemon Trader
1x Gambler
2x Switch
*Energy*
20x Water Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy
Use a powerful Water-type deck to take out Rod and his Pokemon. I suggest using
a Rain Dance archetype from section 4.5. Blastoise, with a potential 60-damage
attack, will finish Rod's Legendary Pokemon very fast. The fact that Rod has no
Potions/Defenders of any sort just makes your task a lot easier. As an
irrelevent side note, Rod has only 24 Energys, while all the other Grand
Masters have 25.
*******************************
Phew... You've beaten the last Grand Master, and deserve congratulations for
that feat. But if you've played Pokemon: Red/Blue/Yellow before, you already
sense that your quest is not over...
!!!RONALD!!!
Well, it seems that Ronald was somehow one step ahead of you again. He has
beaten the Grand Masters before you have, and therefore, he already has the
Legendary Cards (but the Grand Masters still have them...). Duel him to see who
truly is worthy of the title, "Pokemon Card Game Master"! Head over to section
5.14 for strategy on defeating Ronald.
*******************************
Remember to save before dueling Ronald! When he is defeated, the Legendary
Cards in his deck will float away. You will gain permission to go in the
Legendary Chamber. The cards are on the podium in the center of the room.
Before you take them, you should check out the Legendary Auto Deck Machine so
you can build the decks of the Grand Masters themselves (section 8.10). When
you're ready, talk to the Legendary Cards for a rather corny speech. The
credits and ending will proceed.
The four new cards you've recieved will help you complete your album, for your
quest is not complete until doing so. Battle the duelists again for rare cards.
Also, Dr. Mason, using his genious, has built a Challenge Machine. You will
duel five random opponents using a single deck--no saving or deck modifying in
between battles!
Congratulations on beating the Pokemon Trading Card Game!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.12: Challenge Hall
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Challenge Hall is where Pokemon Trading Card touraments are held. Entrants
of the Challenge Cup will duel three opponents consecutively. The winner will
inherit a Promotional Card! Read on for information, rules, and strategies
about the Challenge Cup.
*******************************
~ The Challenge Cup will be held for the first two times after you win your
third and fifth Master Medals.
~ In the above occasions, your rival, Ronald, will always be your last
opponent. Check out section 5.14 on how to beat him. Your first two opponents
are randomly chosen.
~ The prizes for the first and second tournaments are Promotionals L60 Mewtwo
and L8 Mew, respectively.
~ If you miss one of the tournaments mentioned above (by getting another Master
Medal), Ronald will win the prize and smirk at you in the Lounge for missing
the Cup.
~ After you beat the game, the Challenge Cup will be held randomly. The prize
will be a random Promotional Card, even including the ones you haven't earned
(or ones you missed).
~ The opponents in the tournaments after you beat the game are chosen randomly
from the duelists you have beaten.
~ You will be given the option to prepare your deck each time you defeat an
opponent. Use this time to save your game and modify your deck.
~ If you lose to an opponent and have saved beforehand, simply restart the game
and duel him/her again.
~ If your second/third opponent seems impossible to beat, make sure you haven't
saved before dueling him/her. Also, make sure you've saved before dueling the
opponent before. You can now restart, duel the person before again, and your
next opponent will be changed.
~ Save your game before facing the third guy in a tournament. If the prize you
win is not the one you desire, restart the game and win again. You will get a
different prize. This only works after you've beaten the game.
~ All matches in the tournament will have four Prizes (including Ronald's).
*******************************
Since you don't know which duelists you may be facing, it is crucial that you
save before each duel, and modify your deck according to the opponent's
weakness. The strategies of the duelists you'll be facing are all listed in
sections 5.2 through 5.11. Ronald's tips will be listed in section 5.14. Good
luck with the tournament!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.13: Ishihara
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ishihara is a nice guy who can aid you on your quest by trading cards and
giving you information. He is a master card collector. Here is a description,
according to the woman in the Rock Club:
"Oh, excuse me! Did you hear? Ishihara who lives on the cape to the
northwest... He owns 10,000 cards! He probably even has rare cards!"
..Right. Well, Ishihara will trade with you three times during your journey.
He will trade you Promotional Pikachus for some rare cards of yours. In order
for him to trade the cards, you must talk to the woman in the Rock Club to see
if there's any news of him wanting to trade. If so, you can head to his house
and make the trade. Here is a list of the cards he'll be willing to trade:
~ Trade L34 Clefable for L13 Surfing Pikachu.
~ Trade L19 Ditto for L12 Flying Pikachu.
~ Trade L55 Chansey for L13 Surfing Pikachu.
His two Surfing Pikachus are told apart only by the details on the upper right
of the second Pikachu. After you beat the game, Ishihara will take his leave
forever, in search of a rare card. Ronald will take his place in his house,
building a deck that's better than yours.
Also, Ishihara has some useful deck-making tips written on his bookshelves.
Some Combos, Pokemon Powers, and other information is listed there. The stuff
written on the shelves is listed below.
*******************************
~ You can create powerful Combos by combining the abilities of 2 cards. Pokemon
Powers and Trainers are useful in creating Combos! Find card combinations that
will create your own powerful Combos.
~ What if you place Exeggutor in the arena, but you don't have any Energy
Cards? In this case, use Venusaur's Energy Trans to transfer Grass Energy and
use Big Eggsplosion! If you attach 8 Energy Cards, you can give your opponent
up to 160 damage.
~ Muk's Toxic Gas is very powerful! It can block all Pokemon Powers! But be
careful because it also blocks your own Pokemon's Powers!
~ Blastoise's Pokemon Power, Rain Dance, is a great boon for your Water
Pokemon! You can attach as many Water Energy Cards as you have to your Water
Pokemon. Power up your Pokemon and attack!
~ It's a good idea to use Defender when attacking with Selfdestruct. That way,
you'll be able t give major damage to your opponent's Active and Benched
Pokemon without your Pokemon getting Knocked Out.
~ You can use Alakazam's Damage Swap to move Damage Counters off of a Pokemon
that is almost Knocked Out, or you can create a Combo by combining it with
Chansey and Scoop Up. Keep moving Damage Counters to Chansey and use Scoop Up
to return Chansey to your Hand. Then put Chansey back in play. You will have
lost all Damage Counters!
~ Hyper Beam is extremely powerful! You can remove the Energy Cards attached to
your opponent's Pokemon! Without Energy, they won't be able to attack or
retreat!
~ Use Aerodactyl's Prehistoric Power to block your opponent's Pokemon from
evolving. Your own Pokemon can't evolve? In that case, use Devolution Spray on
Aerodactyl and turn it back into a Mysterious Fossil. Then you'll be able to
evolve your Pokemon!
~ It is rumored that there is a Phantom Card that can only be gotten by using
Card Pop! It is believed that there are 2 such cards, but no one knows what
kind of cards they are. I'm off to search for someone who will give me these
cards! -Ishihara
~ If a Pokemon has a Weakness, it takes double damage when attacked by Pokemon
of a certain type! If a water Pokemon attacks a Fire Pokemon, the Fire Pokemon
will recieve double damage! If a Pokemon has a Resistance, it takes 30 less
damage when attacked by Pokemon of a certain type. If an attack gives a damage
of 30, the Pokemon will not recieve damage! Beware of the Weaknesses and
Resistances of your Pokemon!
~ The Trainer Card, Computer Search, is useful when you want to draw a certain
card! Item Finder and Poke Ball will also help!
~ Retreating your Active Pokemon to the Bench is a good strategy in certain
situations! Retreating a Pokemon requires Energy Cards. Dodrio's Retreat Aid
decreases the number Energy Cards required to retreat. If you retreat right
away, your Pokemon won't get Knocked Out!
*******************************
Use these strategies (and mine, of course) to build great decks! You can read
these books even when Ishihara has left.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.14: Ronald
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronald is your arch-rival in the Pokemon Trading Card Game. As long as you can
remember, you've always competed with Ronald in just about everything -
especially Pokemon Card Collecting. Now that you've both heard the rumor about
the Legendary Cards, you're determined to get the Legendary Cards and put
Ronald in his place. You will duel Ronald 5 times throughout the game, and he
becomes harder to beat as you progress.
Your rival helps you in the game by giving you Promotional Cards that you
cannot get anywhere else before you beat the game. Of course, he only gives
these to you if you beat him in a duel!
You'll see Ronald after you've won two Master Medals, five Master Medals, in
the first two Challenge Cups, and after you've defeated all four Grand Masters.
After you beat the game, there is a small chance (1:33 ratio) that you'll duel
him. I personally have never dueled him in the above situation, but if you have
any information, please let me know (section 1).
*******************************
Rival Duel: Ronald (+)
Requirement: 2 Master Medals
Prizes: 6
Reward: Jigglypuff L12
Your rival will stop you at the Club Entrance of the Club where you earned your
second Master Medal and challenge you to a duel. Ronald's deck is like one of
the beginning decks that Dr. Mason gives you. Your rival has many Basic
Pokemon, very little evolution cards, and not enough Trainers. He also has
three types of Pokemon and never seems to get the right types of Energys to
power them up. Sounds pretty easy, huh?
Ronald's Pokemon include the families of:
Seel
Charmander
Squirtle
Growlithe
Machop
The Pokemon you should use:
Kadabra
Farfetch'd
Scyther
Electabuzz
*******************************
Rival Duel: Ronald 2
Requirement: 3 Master Medals
Prizes: 4
Reward: Mewtwo L60
Ronald will be your last opponent during the first Challenge Cup tournament,
held only after you recieve your third Master Medal. Your rival has taken
somewhat of a Stall/Haymaker archetype deck, with many Pokemon to Paralyze
yours. He focuses on Grass types and Poison types. Use good Fire Pokemon to
take him out. Ronald still doesn't have enough Trainer Cards, so use that as
your main advantage.
Ronald's Pokemon include the families of:
Chansey
Grimer
Scyther
Tangela
The Pokemon you should use:
Hitmonchan
Ninetails
Arcanine
Gengar
Scyther
*******************************
Rival Duel: Ronald 3 (+)
Requirement: 5 Master Medals
Prizes: 6
Reward: Super Energy Retrieval
After you earn five Master Medals, Ronald will stop you at the Club Entrance as
soon as you exit the Club Center. This time, he has a fast deck focusing on
Electabuzz's Thunderpunch and Dodrio's Retreat Aid. The types of Pokemon he is
using are Lightning, Colorless, and Psychic. Use fast Pokemon to counter
Ronald's, and you will be fine. Watch out for his Double Colorless Energys;
Comet Punch might come sooner than you think.
Ronald's Pokemon include the families of:
Electabuzz
Jynx
Mewtwo
Doduo
Kanghaskhan
Hitmonlee
The Pokemon you should use:
Scyther
Gengar
Aerodactyl
Electabuzz
*******************************
Rival Duel: Ronald 4
Requirement: 5 Master Medals
Prizes: 6
Reward: L8 Mew
In the second Challenge Cup after you've won five Master Medals, Ronald will be
your last opponent once again. This time, he still uses some of the same
Pokemon, but he has some new types added in. Ronald now has Fighting, Grass,
Fire, and Colorless Pokemon in his deck. Use the large amount of types to your
advantage, and don't let him catch you off-guard with a powered-up Scyther!
Kill the strong Pokemon first, and you'll win.
Ronald's Pokemon include the families of:
Geodude
Scyther
Magmar
Grimer
Chansey
The Pokemon you should use:
Magmar
Hitmonchan
Golbat
Fearow
*******************************
Rival Duel: Ronald 5
Requirement: 8 Master Medals, Grand Masters Defeated
Prizes: 6
Reward: L37 Articuno, L68 Zapdos, L37 Moltres, L41 Dragonite
This is it, the final battle between you and Ronald! He has a quite formidable
Legendary Ronald Deck, with the powers of all the Legendary Pokemon! Ronald
uses three types of Pokemon (Fire, Water, Lightning), plus Colorless ones. He
likes to play defense using Scoop Up and Switch, and power up using Firegiver
and Energy Search. Attack using a Haymaker deck, since Haymaker Pokemon have
much better speed than Ronald's.
Consider replacing the Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan of a Haymaker Deck with
Farfetch'd and Dragonair. You'll have one less type to worry about, and the
Legendary Cards all have Fighting Resistance. Good Luck! When you are
victorious against Ronald, check the bottom of section 5.11 for the conclusion
of the game.
Ronald's Pokemon include the families of:
Articuno
Moltres
Zapdos
Dratini
Lapras
Eevee
The Pokemon you should use:
Scyther
Magmar
Electabuzz
*******************************
Rival Duel: Ronald?
Requirement: Game Beaten
Prizes: 4
Reward: Random Promotional Card
If you have any information about Ronald's deck in the Challenge Hall after
you've beaten the game, please contact me. You will recieve credit in section
ten.
*******************************
Now that you know of Ronald's strategies, why not check out the section below
on Imakuni??
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.15: Imakuni?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can I say about this duelist? He's a weird dancing guy that lurks randomly
in the Lounges of Clubs. First, though, you need to activate his presence by
talking to the girl in the Water Club Lounge. She will tell you what a strange
guy Imakuni is, and that he may have rare cards. Now, if you go to a Club
Lounge, there is a chance that Imakuni? is here.
The reason you want to activate Imakuni? is that he will challenge you to a
duel. If you win, you'll get FOUR Booster Packs, instead of just one or two
from normal duelists. You'll get one of each type of Booster Pack: Colosseum,
Mystery, Laboratory, and Evolution. Dueling Imakuni? is a great way to build up
your Album. Imakuni is insanely easy, and you'll have no trouble winning at
all. Below are some tips:
*******************************
Rival Duel: Strange Life-Form Imakuni
Prizes: 6
Deck: Imakuni? Deck
Reward: All Boosters, Imakuni?
This guy uses Water, Psychic, and Colorless Pokemon in his deck. He uses
Maintenance for no apparent reason, and the Imakuni? Trainer Card to confuse
his Pokemon. His OWN Pokemon! Confusing. That's what makes him so easy to beat,
especially when he confuses his Psychic Pokemon and does 40 damage to himself.
Watch out for Farfetch'd, since this is his only reliable attacker. He also
uses some evolutions, but that isn't likely to happen.
Here is Imakuni?'s Deck:
*Pokemon*
4x Psyduck L14
3x Golduck L27
4x Drowzee L12
3x Hypno L36
4x Farfetch'd L20
2x Slowpoke L18
2x Slowpoke L8
3x Slowbro L26
*Trainers*
2x Pokemon Flute
2x Maintenance
4x Imakuni?
1x Gambler
*Energy*
10x Water Energy
16x Psychic Energy

>> grave for his slowbro (other words use your stretch kick on slowbro)
>>
>> I hope this will help and if you dont have some cards put other cards
>> in like gust of winds or pluspowers.
*******************************
If you beat him three times, you'll receive the four booster packs, plus his
signature Imakuni? card. Beat him six times to win another. Read the text on
the card for a good laugh, and make sure your friends don't sneak this card
into your deck! Hehe.
Note: Imakuni? is a real Japanese singer. He has a guest appearance in this
game. He is even listed in the credits! Imakuni?'s singing can be heard in the
Pokemon Soundtracks. By the way, the ? at the end of the name is how it's
supposed to be.

This is a Pokedex of the Pokemon Cards, or so to speak. This section contains
many arrangements of the Pokemon Cards and details about them, for quick

you'll use up your paper very fast.

6.1: Gameboy Order
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section contains minimal info on all the cards of the game, listing their
level, card number, and evolution. It's useful if you want to know which cards
you're missing from your album. This arrangement is the same as the game's
arrangement for listing the cards.
*******************************
Key
NXX: Pokemon Level, Stage
N = Letter representing Booster Pack (A-D)
XX = 2-digit Pokemon Number
Pokemon = Name of Pokemon
Level = Level of Pokemon
Stage = Pokemon's evolution stage (Basic, Stage 1, Stage 2)

6.3: Pokedex Order
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I was once a hardcore fan of the Pokemon RPG series (Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/
Silver/Crystal/Ruby/Sapphire) myself, I've decided to list the cards like the
Pokedex lists Pokemon in the original games. Of course, Trainers and Energy
Cards are not listed, as this list only deals with Pokemon.
*******************************
Key
Pokemon Cards are arranged like in the samples below:
Pokemon
Evolution, Card #
Rarity, Type, HP
Weakness, Resistance, Retreat
Species, Level, Pokemon #
Pokemon Power
Attack(s)
Trainer
Type, Card #
Rarity
Text
Energy
Type, Card #
Rarity
Text
*******************************
The color abbreviations used in the Card List:
*number* = Colorless
G = Grass
R = Fire
L = Lightning
W = Water
F = Fighting
P = Psychic
So, if the Energy Cost of an attack is [2W], it means you need two Colorless
Energys (Energys of any type) and one Water Energy to use the attack.

The above lists will hopefully give you a feeling of all the Pokemon Cards.
If not, contact me (section 1) and specify your query.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
*** 7: Card Ratings ***
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will give each card a complete, thorough rating based on my own experience
with the card. These ratings are not biased in any way; if you have a different
opinion of a card, or would like to add something, please feel free to send me
an email. Each card will get a rating from 0-10, and their meanings are below.
Also, x.5 on a card means it is better than the lower number (x), but worse
than the higher one (x + 1).
Also note that I will expect you to know about archetypes, basic rules of the
game, and a couple other things in my ratings. Please read section 4 fully
before proceeding. The Combos I have thought up are incomplete; please add
anything you can to them by contacting me.
And so, let the praising and/or bashing begin...
*******************************
Rating Guidelines for Pokemon:
0: Useless. The plastic (or pixels, as the case is) that it's made of is worth
more than the card itself. You'll worsen your deck by playing it.
1: Horrible. This card should never be played, unless insisted by a strategy or
deck type. The attacks/effects of the card are just plain unworthwile.
2: Bad. The cards here should rarely be played, since they do little to improve
your deck. Don't bother, unless you want to evolve it quickly.
3: Poor. Many unevolved forms fall into this category. These cards have little
HP and bad attacks. Use them mainly to evolve.
4: Borderline. The card is playable under some conditions. Use it as a support
card, not your leading offense.
5: Average. This is a so-so addition to your deck. Heck, it might even kill a
thing or two, or at least weaken it for better Pokemon to kill.
6: Decent. Many Stage 1 Pokemon go here. The attacks and defense of the Pokemon
Card are pretty good. Use some of these.
7: Good. It'll be worth your while to put these cards in your deck. Good cards
will Knock Out some foes, and coupled with Trainers, they become even better!
8: Great. Use many of these cards! They're mostly Stage 2 Pokemon, specializing
on a variety of good moves.
9: Wonderful. These cards are able to cover up weaknesses well while posing a
big threat to your foe at the same time. Highly recommended for using in decks.
10: Perfect. These cards are the top of the pack. They can't be made better in
practically any way.
*******************************
A01: Nidoran M L20, Basic
A decent Pokemon to use at the beginning of battle. Its Horn Hazard is risky,
but it could mean a quick end to Magikarps and Geodudes on your first turn. 40
HP is low, and the Retreat is common for a Basic. Nidoran's weakness is not a
huge one, as Psychics are not very abundant. Just wait until it evolves, and it
will be quite formidable!
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A02: Nidorino L25, Stage 1
Very nice... If you started with Bulbasaur and Friends, you'll notice that
Nidorino constantly becomes your main attacking force. Horn Drill is one of the
best Grass moves, and Double Kick isn't bad for a second choice. Retreat and HP
are both average, but with a couple of Potions, Nidorino can last a while! Go
and evolve it if you want, but Nidorino's good as it is.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
A03: Tangela L12, Basic
A 50 HP Pokemon that doesn't evolve and can deal only 10 damage at a time isn't
my idea of "good". And Tangela's just that. Two Retreat means it's slow at
getting out, and Stun Spore and Poison Whip are just too weak to cause decent
damage. Plus, who's heard of 20 damage (10 from Poison) from 3 Energys? Tangela
just doesn't have what it takes to be a good Grass type.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
A04: Scyther L25, Basic
A great Pokemon for the Haymaker deck (section 4.5), the praying mantis with
two cool scythes has it all... The potential to do 60 damage on Turn 2, ZERO
Retreat Cost, Resistance to Fighting, 70 HP. This, folks, is the card that
halved Hitmonchan/Farfetch'ds' popularities. It can fit into any deck, due to
the use of Colorless Energys, and it was a great starting Pokemon because it
can switch back any time. It's just that good.
Rating: 9.5/10
*******************************
A05: Pinsir L24, Basic
Another decent addition to your Grass deck, Pinsir uses powerful attacks to
overwhelm his enemies. But, he has some setbacks. A long preparation time, 1
Retreat Cost (compared to Scyther's 0), and no Resistance. Many people use
Pinsir in their decks to show off its true identity: a Fighting Pokemon of the
Grass type.
Rating: 6/10
*******************************
A06: Charmander L10, Basic
Yay, good ol' Charmander. The unevolved form of the Energy-draining beasts is
the weakest, but also the easiest to set up. 50 HP is decent for a Basic, and
Ember is solid, assuming you don't run out of Energy. If you do, you'll have to
go with the much less appealing Scratch. The problem with Charmander is its
type: the large number of Rain Dance decks in the real world leaves it
scampering away, trying to save its tail.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A07: Charmeleon L32, Stage 1
Many decks stop their Char-velutions at Charmeleon, fearing Charizard will make
their Energys burn like kindling. Charmeleon, with its trusty Flamethrower, can
do wonders for your Fire deck. Couple it with a Fossil Magmar as backup, and
you're set! You have to love the lizard's 80 HP, too. I suggest benching it if
you want to go to Charizard.
Rating: 6/10
*******************************
A08: Growlithe L18, Basic
Players (me included) have disputed about whether to have Arcanine or Ninetails
in their Fire decks. Granted, Growlithe is much better then its five-tailed
counterpart, but it's essentially a toss-up between the Legendary Dog or the
Mystical Fox. Fire Blast has Lured (no pun intended) duelists into Ninetails,
but you have to think about one thing: is Vulpix likely to survive the turns
before evolution? Growlithe is certainly better.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
A09: Arcanine L45, Stage 1
As mentioned in the previous story, Arcanine and Ninetails have been in war
ever since the start of the TCG. The lupine has two solid moves, while the
vulpine has one VERY good move. So, you should test them both out, and see
which type fits you. Arcanine, despite its EVIL Retreat Cost, can take a lot of
damage before perishing.

A10: Ponyta L10, Basic
Very fast to set up, but very fast to kill. That's Ponyta, the 40 HP horse who
boasts two good attacks. Keep it on the Bench until needed, and retreat as soon
as you're finished. Be aware, since two Stretch Kicks can kill it! Well, just
wait for it to evolve into Rapidash...
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
A11: Magmar L24, Basic
Stick with the Fossil Magmar. Granted, both Magmar's attacks are more powerful
than his counterpart's, but Smokescreen and Smog are just that much more
annoying. Plus, 50 HP versus 70 HP makes it an easy decision. Flamethrower is
good, but Arcanine can use the same attack and have twice the HP.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
A12: Seel L12, Basic
Its HP is the only thing going for it. Everything else...sucks. It could take
years for Seel to Headbutt its way past your foe, and that's its only attack!
This is little more than a pseudo-staller and a stepping stone for the
formidable Dewgong.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
A13: Dewgong L42, Stage 1
Without Rain Dance, it's slow as a pig to attack and retreat. With it, though,
This sea lion becomes a killing machine. Get powered up in a single turn and
attack for 50 damage. Yeah, I like that. Just don't get it electricuted! And
make sure Blastoise doesn't die, since Dewgong pretty much relies on its help.
Use Aroura Beam instead of Ice Beam, except on gamble situations.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
A14: Goldeen L12, Basic
Well, both it and Seel evolve to be formidable Pokemon, but as it stands right
now, their pre-evolved forms both suck. It's a good idea to put the same amount
of Goldeens as Seakings, so you won't get stuck with a particular Pokemon. The
thing good about Goldeen is its free Retreat, so pull it out in a tight spot.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
A15: Seaking L28, Stage 1
It's sort of like Electabuzz in attacks, without the side effects. Waterfall
can do decent damage, and only Porygon can have Water Resistance. High HP and
low Retreat Cost makes Seaking a good investment for your deck. It can even be
used in non-Rain Dance decks, because its strongest attack only requires two
Energys to execute.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
A16: Staryu L15, Basic
Could this be? A Pokemon that's actually BETTER than its evolved form? Yes, the
quick-attacking Staryu can attack for 20 damage for one Energy, while Starmie
has to have three to do the same and possibly a side effect. Saying it's better
than Starmie doesn't mean it's good, though. Staryu is very weak in terms of
defense, and will be downed in 1-2 turns.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
A17: Magikarp L8, Basic
Back in the days of Red, Blue, and Yellow, the King of the Karp was really
screwed. Now, things have changed - now he sucks even more. Thirty HP means it
can fall to a single blow, and Tackle and Flail can do only 20 damage maximum.
Do everyone a favor and leave this fish back where it belongs, unless you're
attempting to evolve it. But tough luck for you if you get only a Magikarp in
the beginning of the game!
Rating: 0.5/10
*******************************
A18: Gyarados L41, Stage 1
Don't take me wrong, Gyarados is a great Pokemon, on par with Dewgong. The one
major setback: Magikarp has just about 1 turn to evolve. With that, I will
proceed and recommend the Sea Lion to your Water deck. the atrocious dragon,
ruined by a fish... If you do get it powered, though, it is quite good and a
Grass weakness (instead of Lightning) will come in handy.
Rating: 8/10 (not taking evolution into account)
*******************************
A19: Pikachu L12, Basic
It's basically a majorly downgraded Electabuzz that can evolve. Everyone's
favorite electric rat has a good attack, but the 40 HP won't last very long.
stick with Jungle Pikachu, as it has more HP and can attack the opponent's
Bench without hurting itself. Even better, replace all the Pikachus with
Electabuzz and Jolteon, since they do the job better.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
A20: Raichu L40, Stage 1
A powerhouse of sorts, this is the better out of the two Raichus in the game.
Agility is kinda expensive for 20 damage and perhaps invincibility. Thunder is
great on doing damage, but the risk of recoil tampers the attack. Very good HP
and good Retreat Cost both help to make Raichu a pretty good addition to many
Lightning decks.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
A21: Magnemite L13, Basic
Thundershock is annoying but unreliable, and Selfdestruct should be used only
in emergencies, as it damages your own Bench. While Magnemite is easy to win
early in the game, it should be replaced with better Pokemon, like Electabuzz
and Raichu, after some progress.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
A22: Magneton L28, Stage 1
It's just a magnified version of Magnemite, with a significant increase of HP
and attack power. But for what? Thunder Wave now needs many more Energys, and
Selfdestruct will still make the magnet kill itself. Sixty HP is pretty low,
too. Magneton can be powerful when powered up. But hey, so can Exeggutor. And
the coconut-head can do so much more.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A23: Electabuzz L35, Basic
One of the Haymaker's foundations, Electabuzz is probably one of the most
versatile Lightning Pokemon. It's extremely quick to set up, and 70 HP means it
can go for a while. There are two minor setbacks: a Fighting Weakness and a
semi-high Retreat Cost. Those two factors probably stop Electabuzz from being
extremely broken.
Rating: 8.5/10
*******************************
A24: Zapdos L64, Basic
You take one look at this card, and see attacks doing 60 and 100 damage. You
take another look, and you see 3 Retreat Cost, 4 Energys needed for attacking,
and two NASTY side-effects. If the opponent has just 10 HP left, Zapdos will
have to risk 30 HP or have all its Energys taken in order to do that 10 damage.
Zapdos' weaknesses greatly outweigh its strengths, and it is rendered nearly
unplayable. And it doesn't even have a nifty Pokemon Power like Charizard.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
A25: Diglett L8, Basic
If this guy had just 20 more HP, it would've almost earned a part in the
Haymaker. But it doesn't, and now it serves mainly as a Basic Pokemon to
evolve. Mud Slap is decet and fast to execute, and Free Retreat is always good.
However, it is tied for lowest HP, and that is its one major flaw. Some people
like to annoy others by repeatedly flinging Digletts at the opponent.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
A26: Dugtrio L36, Stage 1
Slash is very good, and a Lightning Resistance is always welcome. Dugtrio's Hit
Points have greatly improved from its predecessor, making it more versatile.
Earthquake is risky since it only does damage to your own Bench, and it still
can't survive a good Grass attack. Put this in your Rock deck if you wish, but
keep in mind that there are better choices.
Rating: 5.5/10
*******************************
A27: Machop L20, Basic
It's one of two Fighting Pokemon that can do 20 damage on the first turn, and
some consider it better than its Stage 1 Evolution. Everything else is pretty
much standard for a Basic Pokemon. It can kill Magnemites and Pikachus in one
hit, so that's a plus.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A28: Hitmonchan L33, Basic
Another superb Haymaker Pokemon, Hitmonchan is extremely fast in executing its
two attacks, Jab and Special Punch. 70 HP is good for a Basic attacker, but
don't try this Pokemon against Ghosts, Flyers, or Poison, since you'll have a
hard time doing damage to them. Before the Base Expansions were introduced,
Hitmonchan was basking in glory. Now that Fossil and Jungle are existant,
Scyther (and maybe Magmar) have competed for this position.
Rating: 8.5/10
*******************************
A29: Abra L10, Basic
It's just a card made to evolve, and nothing else. Since Kadabra and Alakazam
are both very good, Abra was made very weak so opponents could take it out
early. Very bad in terms of attacks, and even worse when it comes to defense,
Abra should be left in the Bench in the wait for evolution.
Rating: 1.5/10
*******************************
A30: Kadabra L38, Stage 1
One of the few Psychic powerhouses, Kadabra boasts a very damaging attack,
especially for a Psychic type. Its Recover can be helpful in tight situations,
and many people use this instead of Alakazam as a final Abra evolution, since
Alakazam's Confuse Ray is far inferior. This is a neccessity in any Psychic
deck, the real choice lies in whether to evolve it or not.
Rating: 6.5/10
*******************************
A31: Rattata L9, Basic
Rattata's Bite attack is effective and fast, and it has no Retreat Cost. But,
it has only 30 HP, and also a Fighting Weakness. A very common card at the
game's beginning, Rattata should be replaced with a better Pokemon as soon as
you find one.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
A32: Raticate L41, Stage 1
Super Fang can put a huge dent in a Chansey, but it's useless against Magikarp
and other low HP Pokemon. Bite is still the same from its pre-evolved form.
Does the increased Hit Points and attack potential make Raticate worthwhile in
a deck? In most cases, no, since there are better monsters out there.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A33: Jigglypuff L14, Basic
This is the best Jigglypuff of the many variations existant in the Pokemon
Trading Card Game. Lullaby is a decent sleep-inducer, and Pound is a good
attack. 60 HP is pretty good for a Basic Pokemon, and there is always Psychic
Resistance as an extra bonus. For a Wigglytuff Do The Wave deck, this is the
Jigglypuff of choice to evolve.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
A34: Wigglytuff L36, Stage 1
Do The Wave is Wigglytuff's main (and perhaps only) selling point, and is the
base of a major archetype (see section 4.5). With a full Bench, you are able to
do 60 damage per turn off of 3 Colorless Energys, and no drawbacks. Lullaby is
a half-decent stall, and 80 HP is good. If you can accompany Wigglytuff with
the right amount of Pokemon and Trainers, you will become very formidable.
Rating: 8/10
*******************************
A35: Meowth L14, Basic
Cat Punch is very unpredictable, but it may Knock Out your opponent's damaged
Pokemon on the Bench. Apart from that, Meowth doesn't really have any unique
traits. 50 HP is average, and the Weakness/Resistance are both standard for
Colorless Pokemon. Use this Meowth if you want to evolve it, but the fact that
this is better than the other one doesn't say much...
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
A36: Chansey L55, Basic
The huge, popular, formidable Staller, what Chansey lacks in offense is more
than made up for in its monstrous defense. 120 HP for a Basic Pokemon is
unmatched in the whole game, and Scrunch simply improves it even more. Double-
Edge is very risky, as your Chansey gets very hurt in the recoil. It's good for
Damage Swap (section 4.5) and other stall decks. The Psychic Resistance and a
single Retreat Cost makes Chansey a tough egg to crack.
Rating: 8.5/10
*******************************
A37: Kangaskhan L40, Basic
Like Chansey, this kangaroo Pokemon's main purpose is Stalling. With 30 less
Hit Points compared to the egg Pokemon, Kangaskhan makes up for this with its
highly useful Fetch attack, which is like a Bill that can be used infinitely
and counts as an attack. Unfortunately, Comet Punch and 3 Retreat Cost makes
Kangaskhan inferior to Chansey, albeit not by much. Use this as a Staller if
you need more than four.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
A38: Snorlax L20, Basic
With the two great Stallers listed above, one must wonder what help Snorlax can
add to a Stall deck. The answer lies hugely in its Pokemon Power, which will
prevent this big blob from any status effects. This can be majorly useful,
especially against Paralyzation. Other than that, Snorlax is plagued with a
mediocre attack and FOUR Retreat. Use the Stallers above instead.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
A39: Professor Oak (T)
How can a non-Stall deck not have one of these? Getting a brand new start is
simply wonderful, as it can reveal new cards and open up new options. The
drawback? Overuse of Oak will cause one to run out of cards and lose the game.
Don't put too many, but a couple of Professors will greatly help out your
strategy. Preferred over Bill because it can bail you out of problems, like
running out of Basic Pokemon to play.
Rating: 9/10
*******************************
A40: Bill (T)
A very common sight in any deck, Bill will give you two additional cards at the
expense of it being discarded. Is this helpful? Yes and No. Bill can be a great
opportunity to get some more cards, but using it too much will cause the user
to deck out faster. Furthermore, if Bill is drawn at the start of a turn, no
additional cards will be gained. Why?
At the beginning of the turn, you get Bill. Bill doesn't count as a card since
it does nothing except give you more cards. So, you've wasted a card. If you
play Bill and get two cards, you waste Bill by discarding it. That's wasting
two cards and getting two cards.
So, although very helpful when played right, Bill has its disadvantages and
could be replaced with other cards that actually have an effect.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
A41: Switch (T)
Switch isn't as good as many beginners think it is. At the cost of using a
card, you are able to exchange your Active Pokemon without paying its Retreat
Cost or any status effects. This may be good on high Retreat Pokemon, like
Snorlax and Golem, but who uses lots of those anyway? So, Switch essentially
becomes a Full Heal that switches Pokemon, and Full Heal is better.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
A42: Poke Ball (T)
The major downside of this card is the coin-flip usage. If you flip tails, you
have wasted a card in your precious space and that card has done nothing. So,
Poke Ball is unreliable and unworth your time. Plus, you can only search for
Basic Pokemon, not evolutions. Pokemon Trader is much better, since not only do
you get a Pokemon you want, you also get rid of one that you don't want.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
A43: Scoop Up (T)
At the expense of giving up all cards attached to a Pokemon, one may return it
to his/her hand. Why is this good? All damage counters attached to the Pokemon
are removed, and you can play it again, fresh, from your hand. This is a great
strategy in Stall Decks (section 4.5), where Stallers are Scooped Up so they
can take more damage. Pokemon Center is better than this, though, because you
don't have to discard Evolution Cards/Pluspowers, etc.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
A44: Computer Search (T)
A great search card, Computer Search is the only card that lets you choose any
card from your deck. This is very good when you're looking for a particular
card, but it does have drawbacks, like having to discard 3 cards to draw one.
Use this in certain fast decks when you're looking for Pokemon Breeder, etc.
Other alternatives include Pokemon Trader and Energy Search.
Rating: 6/10
*******************************
A45: Pluspower (T)
Perhaps Pluspower is the sneakiest card in the whole Pokemon Trading Card game,
since it can instantly ruin your opponents' strategies. The key to Pluspower is
never to let your opponent see it coming. It should be used to Knock Out the
defender the same round you use it. Very effective in many decks, Pluspower
certainly is worth the seemingly trivial 10 extra damage it provides.
Rating: 9/10
*******************************
A46: Defender (T)
Similar to its above relative, Defender brushes up on a Pokemon's defense,
allowing it to take 20 more damage. This is worse than it sounds: If you use
Defender, your opponent might just not attack, and you've wasted the card plus
are vulnerable to a next-turn attack. The good thing about it is you can use
a self-damaging attack with it equipped and take less damage, and it will still
be effective on your opponent's turn.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A47: Item Finder (T)
Being the only Trainer that lets you bring back other Trainers from your
Discard Pile, Item Finder deserves some merit. But, there are two drawbacks:
you may not have anything good in your Discard Pile, and the three cards it
requires to discard could be filled in with THREE additional Trainers; that's
much better than the ONE Trainer Item Finder retrieves.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
A48: Potion (T)
Removing 20 damage to a Pokemon might not seem like a lot, but your opponent
will have to go through more turns for it to destroy your Pokemon. Potion is
quick, effective, and annoying when used right, plus it gives you several extra
turns to power up your Pokemon. It doesn't hurt to put 2-4 of these in ANY
deck, especially Stalls.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
A49: Full Heal (T)
Full Heal is an iffy card. It will restore your Pokemon to good health, and
that is useful when your Pokemon is both Poisoned and Confused. But, consider
the other methods that do the same thing: Scoop Up, Switch, and Retreating your
Pokemon. The third option is usually better than Full Heal, but you *could* put
just one in case you get paralyzed...
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
A50: Revive (T)
Well, it's better than Recycle because of the Coin Flip and the fact that you
can't use the Recycled Pokemon on the same turn. But, it's not really that
good. Having to put damage counters on the Pokemon right when it's played is a
bummer, and the Revived Pokemon is a big Stretch Kick/Spark target. Play it if
you want more Eeveelutions than Eevees, but nothing else.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
A51 (E01): Grass Energy (E)
Basic Energys are the bases of the Pokemon Card Game (kinda like Land in Magic

these to your deck. Always.

Rating: 10/10
*******************************
B01: Bulbasaur L13, Basic
Just like Squirtle and Charmander, the third of the "starters" is also weak.
Its attack does fair damage and has a pleasant side effect, but two Grass
Energys mean it will have to survive at least one hit. And with 40 HP, taking
the chance is risky. It's better to power this up and evolve it on the Bench,
and send it out once ready.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
B02: Ivysaur L20, Stage 1
It's a great step up from Bulbasaur, really. Its attacking potential has
increased quite a bit, and so has its Hit Points. But, the attack cost is
fairly high, and it may take some time for Ivysaur to power up. But work on
energizing it on the Bench with Scyther to stall, and you'll have a great
attacking force once the time comes.
Rating: 5.5/10
*******************************
B03: Venusaur L67, Stage 2
If an entire archetype revolves around a single card, that specific card is
bound to be good. This is the case with the Energy Trans Venusaur, whose
Pokemon Power sparked many ideas. 100 HP, Solarbeam, and 2 Retreat (instead of
three) are always good to have. And when you've stashed lots of Energy on a
Pokemon and want to give the Energy to a better Pokemon, Energy Trans lets you
do so, without drawbacks.
Rating: 8.5/10
*******************************
B04: Caterpie L13, Basic
One of the most annoying, common Pokemon in the RPG series returns in the
Trading Card Game with no special statistics or unique attacks. Caterpie is a
mundane, weak creature with a very low 40 HP, a single attack that takes ages
to deal damage, and a poor evolution line. Caterpie is just not worth the time
in any deck; Weedle or Nidoran M are almost always better choices.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
B05: Metapod L21, Stage 1
If this cocoon Pokemon weren't plagued with a rotten predessor, it would be
much more used. Metapod is pretty good in terms of stats: a big bunch of HP, a
decent defensive move, and a good attack. Stiffen is to frustrate any Pokemon
that needs to attack fast and furious. Stun Spore does reasonable damage and
Paralyzes effectively. Many players keep this as the last stage of this
evolution chain.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
B06: Butterfree L28, Stage 2
Whirlwind simply prolongs the time it takes for you to Knock Out the defender,
as it switches back and forth between Pokemon. Mega Drain is very costly, and
has a mediocre effect of a Potion for four Energys. Its HP is not bad, and
Fighting Resistance is good, but the time it takes for this butterfly to get
powered up really degrades its ranking.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
B07: Weedle L12, Basic
The counterpart to Caterpie, this caterpillar packs more of a punch with its
single attack, with Poison instead of Paralyzation. The only thing is, Poison
only needs to be cast once for an ongoing effect, so further coin flips are
useless after the first Heads. Poison Sting is what makes Weedle better than
its green "clone".
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
B08: Kakuna L23, Stage 1
Just like Metapod, Kakuna represents the second stage of the insect growing
process. Its HP, attacks, and Retreat are comparable to Metapods; the only
difference is the evolution chain: Butterfree is just not good enough compared
to Beedril, making this Pokemon more apt to do well in your deck. Evolve it as
soon as possible.
Rating: 5.5/10
*******************************
B09: Beedril L32, Stage 2
Very good... Beedril's Poison Sting is the main selling point, though; not many
Pokemon can survive a 40 damage poisoning attack. Other than this attack,
Twineedle isn't very good. But, Fighting Resistance and no Retreat cost make
this Pokemon better than its butterfly companion. 80 HP is also not bad for a
final evolution.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
B10: Nidoking L48, Stage 2
Nidoking was once on the height of popularity when players found this was the
only Pokemon that could kill Mr. Mime in one hit. It's pretty good in its own
right, with two solid attacks. Thrash is like Thunderpunch or something, but
needs one more Energy to execute. Toxic's unique poison is great for rapidly
consuming the opponent's health. Retreat and Weakness are not good, though.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
B11: Bellsprout L11, Basic
So you see the stats and it's pretty normal and bland for a Basic Grass type
Pokemon. Your eyes aren't decieving you. This Pokemon is just another one of
many, and with its terrible evolution line (mainly Victreebell), it's not going
to get anywhere fast.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
B12: Weepinbell L28, Stage 1
Hey, what a surprise! A bland Basic Pokemon evolves into a bland Stage 1
Pokemon! It's very simple, but, unlike its predessor, can actually produce some
probable results in its two attacks. It's kind of like Ivysaur or Gloom, but
those Pokemon go into better Stage 2 Pokemon. Weepinbell gets a joke of a Stage
2, and so you should try using an alternative.
Rating: 5.5/10
*******************************
B13: Victreebell L42, Stage 2
Why did they waste the paper (or in this case, pixels) to make this thing? A
large step DOWN from its predessor, Victreebell has almost nothing going for
it. Lure is basically a Gust of Wind that wastes a turn (instead of being a
Pokemon Power or something) and Acid is too weak for a Stage 2.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
B14: Charizard L76, Stage 2
The key to Charizard is to power up everything before sending it to play. That
includes powering up the Bench Pokemon. This is because when Charizard is
active, you're not going to be able to worry about your bench, since you're
busy attaching Energy to it. What makes the Charizard line so versitile is that
all its pre-evolutions can use attacks without even attaching a Fire Energy. So
capitalize on this and put Charizard in a Venasaur or Blastoise deck. You'll be
happy at the results. In other notes, 120 HP is great and 3 retreat isn't.
Rating: 8/10
*******************************
B15: Rapidash L33, Stage 1
Considering Rapidash comes from a decent Basic Pokemon, and is a pretty good
Pokemon itself, I'd recommend it to your fire deck. Stomp is regular and a
reliable attack to use while you're powering up for Agility, which is a great
but costly evasive maneuver. Zero Retreat is very good, and the other stats go
average. A good Active Pokemon to have when powering up Charizard or Moltres.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
B16: Flareon L28, Stage 1
This Flareon is the Jungle type, and it is arguably better than the GB-only
Flareon. Quick Attack is a staple for all Eevee-lutions, and is moderately good
with the coin bonus. Flamethrower does good damage, and you only have to use
one Energy per turn to use it. If you don't have the Energy this turn, just
Quick Attack and wait for your next. HP is good, and everything else is
standard for a fire-type.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
B17: Squirtle L8, Basic
A must in all Rain Dance decks, Squirtle serves little purpose other than to
become Blastoise in later turns. It can't attack particularly well unless you
get the Paralyze bonus for Bubble, and its 40 HP means it should often be
raised on the bench. Withdraw is a good protection maneuver, but the coin flip
makes it risky.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
B18: Wartortle L22, Stage 1
Some people simply skip Wartortle in their Rain Dance evolution, using Pokemon
Breeder for a quick Blastoise. However, Wartortle is a decent water-type that
can cause some damage, especially if you've powered it up.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
B19: Blastoise L52, Stage 2
The staple card in most water type decks, Blastoise's Pokemon Power makes it
possible to attach as many water Energy as you want in a turn, turning those
heavy-hitters (Dewgong, Gyarados) into killing machines. Hydro Pump is also
makes use of the incredible Pokemon Power, and Blastoise should be hitting
for 60 HP per turn in no time. 100 HP doesn't hurt either.
Rating: 9.5/10
*******************************
B20: Krabby L20, Basic
Some use this card as a stand-alone, quick damage Pokemon. There is not much
other use for it. HP is average, retreat high, and the evolution sucks. Use it
if you must, but there are much better water types out there.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
B21: Kingler L27, Stage 1
Not much use evolving from a Krabby. only 10 extra HP, an attack that requires
a lot of damage on Kingler to work, and another basic attack in Crabhammer.
3 retreat cost also sucks big time. Use Seel and Dewgong, the Squirtle series,
or Gyarados.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
B22: Starmie L28, Stage 1
Recover's usage is very limited due to Starmie's low HP. The other attack isn't
good either, and you were better off using Slap. Although it will help you in
earlier stages of the game, Starmie doesn't really help in a Rain Dance or
water-type deck. You'd be better off pelting Staryus at your opponent than
trying to evolve them.

B23: Vaporeon L42, Stage 1
Vaporeon's upside is its versitality; it fits well in many deck types, even
including some decks that don't have Water Energys. Get a quick possible 30
damage with a Double Colorless Energy, or charge up the Water Gun. Great
support in any Rain Dance deck. Good HP and retreat for a water Pokemon, and a
solid attacker.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
B24: Jolteon L29, Stage 1
Although inferior to Vaporeon in terms of reliability, Jolteon has its pros.
Quick Attack is okay at dealing fast damage, but Pin Missile is inconsistent.
Jolteon is fast to evolve and okay in terms of retreat and HP. Put it in a
Lightning deck.
Rating: 6/10
*******************************
B25: Sandshrew L12, Basic
Probably one of the first cards you will get, Sandshrew will be an asset to an
early fighting deck. Sand-attack really protects it well for only 1 Energy.
Lightning resistance is good, and retreat is average. HP is on the low side,
but you will most likely be evolving it soon.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
B26: Sandslash L33, Stage 1
Like Sandshrew, Sandslash is a quick hitter, capable of dealing good damage.
Slash is pretty standard, and Fury Swipes will hurt if you get lucky. 70 HP is
decent, and Resistance and Retreat are both good. Overall, a nice evolution
line for fighting decks. Interesting to try in a haymaker.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
B27: Machoke L40, Stage 1
There are several downsides to this powerful hitter. One is the large amount of
Fighting Energy it needs to get its attacks off, and another is that its two
attacks cannot co-exist. You see, Karate Chop can only do good damage when
Machoke is not damaged, but Submission does 20 self-damage. This is one of the
worst attack combinations in the game, offsetting Machoke's high HP and large
damage potential.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
B28: Machamp L67, Stage 2
The Pokemon Power is a decent counter move, but 10 damage is quite low. There
are much better Powers out there. Seismic Toss is a bit on the expensive side,
but the damage is respectable. HP is quite good, but Retreat and weakness bring
it down. Use Machamp for what the Machop line was intended to be used for:
heavy hitting.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
B29: Geodude L16, Basic
The upside? If you're really lucky, you can do like 80 damage off two Energy.
But realistically, you're going to get many more times where it does no damage
at all. The resistance and HP are okay for a Basic, but the one attack sucks.
Geodude is another of the bench-warmers that wait for evolution.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
B30: Graveler L29, Stage 1
I think Graveler should've gotten a lot more HP, but it only gets 10 extra.
Harden does a good job of protecting it from weaker attacks, and Rock Throw is
a standard upper-level attack. Overall, does decent damage, but pretty average
evolution line.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
B31: Golem L36, Stage 2
In terms of attacks, Avalanche is solid and deals heavy damage, but
Selfdestruct is quite risky. Not only does it Knock Out Golem, but it may also
Knock Out your benched Pokemon. If you want Golem to last, be prepared to use a
lot of Defenders. Good finisher for a rock based deck, but that 4 retreat means
it's not going anywhere fast.
Rating: 5.5/10
*******************************
B32: Cubone L13, Basic
This evolution line is inferior to the Sandshrew line, mainly because there
isn't a good way for either Cubone or Marowak to deal respectable damage, which
is very important with Fighting types. Snivel is a good defensive tactic, and
Rage can do up to 40 damage. Other stats are okay, but not that good.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
B33: Marowak L32, Stage 1
I've never actually played this card. Hypothetically, if you can fill up your
Bench with Wail, then Wigglytuff's Do The Wave would do a lot of damage. But,
I'm not sure whether you discard the current Bench or shuffle it back or what.
So if anyone has information on Marowak, please tell me. As of now, I'm going
to go ahead and recommend the other Marowak if you use one.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
B34: Gastly L8, Basic
Essentially, making this Gastly your active Pokemon is giving your opponent an
easy Prize Card. Sleeping Gas only works half the time, and the opponent gets
another flip after your turn even if it was successful. Destiny Bond won't work
with anyone if your opponent doesn't attack the next turn, and it also wastes
Energy. 30 HP sucks, and the only redeeming value is the weakness, resistance,
and no Retreat Cost. ALWAYS use the other Gastly!
Rating: 1/10
*******************************
B35: Haunter L22, Stage 1
Haunter doesn't fare a lot better that Gastly, although it is a big step up.
Hypnosis is good at inducing sleep, but don't get fooled with Dream Eater. By
requiring that the opponent be asleep, Dream Eater only works 25% of the time
due to the 2 flips your opponent gets between turns. Retreat and Resistance are
good, and so is no weakness. Use over the other Haunter only if you're
interested in the 10 extra HP, otherwise the other is much better.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
B36: Gengar L38, Stage 2
The absolute best card for depleting an opponent's Bench, Gengar can slowly
pick off weak Pokemon on the Bench with its Pokemon Power combined with Dark
Mind. With the Fossil Gastly and Haunter, this is a great and annoying
evolution line. Dark Mind may be costly, but the damage to the bench is
invaluable. Low Retreat, no weakness, and Fighting resistance are all awesome.
Rating: 8.5/10
*******************************
B37: Jynx L23, Basic
The major plus in Jynx is Meditate, whose damage increases as the opponent
gets weaker. Whenever a foe with high HP is down to about half health, bring in
Jynx and get an easy kill. Doubleslap is cheap to use but not so reliable. It's
too bad so many Pokemon have Psychic Resistance, or else Jynx would be a sort
of Psychic powerhouse.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
B38: Pidgey L8, Basic
What the heck is Whirlwind for? You don't get to Knock Out anybody, and you
don't even get to choose what Pokemon your opponent switches to. Use the other
birds, like Spearow or Doduo, if you're really inclined. Just like in the RPG,
Pidgey and its evolution line suck.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
B39: Pidgeotto L36, Stage 1
Whirlwind sucks just as much as before (10 more damage? Meh). Mirror Move,
though, makes Pidgeotto somewhat of a wildcard. Sometimes you may be able to do
heavy damage to the opponent who just attacked you, and other times you may get
to poison or confuse the foe. However, those possibilities are quite small, and
Pidgeotto is quite useless.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
B40: Pidgeot L40, Stage 2
The only good Pidgeot can do is when the opponent has a full-blown Charizard
with 8 Energy attached and you Hurricane it back. Then you get to gloat. That
single possibility gives reason to raise a Pidgey, but if you do so, use
Pokemon Breeder. Weakness and Retreat are pretty much the usual.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
B41: Jigglypuff L13, Basic
This Jigglypuff is no good. Compared to the other one, it gets less HP and a
less damaging attack. Friendship Song isn't useful either, since you don't get
to choose the Basic Pokemon you get. If you want to have a Wigglytuff deck, be
sure to use the other Jigglypuff.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
B42: Eevee L12, Basic
There might be six evolution cards, but there's only one Eevee! Be sure not to
have too many of the evolutions, or else you will run out of Eevees. Quick
Attack is standard and useful, and Tail Wag is okay for protection. Other stats
are average, so be sure to evolve it soon.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
B43: Pokemon Trader (T)
A great card for finding that Basic or Evolution Pokemon you need, and all you
need to pay is a Pokemon you don't want. I put this in any Evolution-extensive
deck, and you should too.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
B44: Pokemon Breeder (T)
There are many instances where you want a Stage 2 evolution as fast as
possible. Why not skip a step in the evolution process and use this card to
bring up the ultimate evolution in one turn? Pokemon Breeder is very handy in
many situations like these, so use them in the right decks.
Rating: 8/10
*******************************
B45: Clefairy Doll (T)
This is a weird card, because it is only a placeholder on the Bench. Therefore,
it is only useful in decks where you need to bring as many Bench Pokemon as
possible, namely, the Wigglytuff deck. So use it in those decks, since it isn't
of any value anywhere else.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
B46: Energy Retrieval (T)
Energy Retrieval works very well in decks where you discard Energy to perform
attacks, like a Charmander evolution deck. It helps to effectively recycle your
Energy in those situations. In other decks, it's not as useful.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
B47: Energy Search (T)
Use Energy Search in decks that have more than one type of Energy. You can
quickly find an Energy of the type you want this way. Otherwise, it's the same
as a regular Energy card. The second use for the Energy Search is to look at
the contents of your deck and see how many of a certain Pokemon or Energy you
have remaining, so use it if you want.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
B48: Gust of Wind (T)
Very good if used right, the Gust of Wind lets you "choose your opponent" from
the other Bench. It's perfect for Knocking Out the Abras and Magikarps before
they evolve, and that means you get more prizes.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
B49: Super Potion (T)
Potion was good, but is Super Potion better? It depends on the Pokemon you're
trying to heal. If the Pokemon needs lots of Energy to attack, or if each
attack depletes the Energy source, Potions are better off. Otherwise, use this
to heal double the amount!
Rating: 8/10
*******************************
B50: Pokemon Flute (T)
Strategy submitted by TheLegendofME.
>> I saw at one point, "WHAT IS [the] POINT OF THE POKEMON FLUTE?".
>> This may have been a retoricle question, but I think I have the answer. For
>> the price of two cards, you can use Pokemon Flute to put a weak pokemon

>> with their active pokemon. If you have another Pokemon Flute and Gust of
>> Wind, you can repeat this tactic on the same weak pokemon.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C01: Nidoran F L13, Basic
As a Basic Pokemon you get early in the game, Nidoran F will serve her purpose.
60 HP is high, and Fury Swipes is okay (better than Doubleslap or Fury Attack).
Call For Family is good in Wigglytuff decks, but more Nidoran isn't necessarily
a good thing.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
C02: Nidorina L24, Stage 1
Nidorina's not much of a step up from its pre-evolved form. It still has an
unreliable coin flip attack, and Supersonic is another coin-flip. So if you're
feeling lucky, go ahead and evolve Nidoran F. If not, go with Pokemon Breeder
or don't put any Nidoran F in the first place.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
C03: Nidoqueen L43, Stage 2
I don't know how many Nidoking you'll have on your Bench, but the more the
merrier, in Nidoqueen's case. Mega Punch is quite expensive but gets the job
done for a Grass type. Overall, a solid Stage 2 Pokemon, but I would've liked
better attacks. 90 HP is good, but the Retreat Cost is high and Psychic
weakness isn't that good.
Rating: 6/10
*******************************
C04: Oddish L8, Basic
These grass-type Basic Pokemon are all very similar. If you are going Grass,
I'd recommend the Bulbasaur, Weedle, Scyther, and Nidoran M evolution lines.
The Oddish line has its perks, but the aforementioned are better. Stun Spore
and Sprout are all too standard for Grass types.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
C05: Gloom L22, Stage 1
Gloom's attacks seem to clash with each other, because the status effects
cancel each other if you use the corresponding attacks. Also, I don't like how
Foul Odor confuses Gloom itself. HP and other stats are all average for Grass
Pokemon, so I'm going to go ahead and not recommend Gloom.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
C06: Vileplume L35, Stage 2
Again, the confusion from Petal Dance really makes it hard for me to recommend
Vileplume in a Grass deck. Heal is good for removing damage from Vileplume or
your Bench, but you can't use it if you are confused, and that's just what
Petal Dance does! Don't you hate contradicting attacks? Vileplume's HP, retreat
and weakness are nothing special for a Grass type.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
C07: Paras L8, Basic
Remember how useful Spore was in the RPG version? Now, sleep stautus is the
worst one in the bunch, and Spore is no longer as useful. Scratch is not too
special either, so there are much better Grass Pokemon out there.
Rating: 2/10
*******************************
C08: Parasect L28, Stage 1
Again, Spore is no good, and Slash is just an upgrade of Paras' attack. The
only surprise with Parasect was its low Retreat Cost for a slow mushroom type
creature. But nevertheless, the Paras evolution line is not worth putting into
any deck.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
C09: Exeggcute L14, Basic
In terms of attacks, I don't like how the Energy types don't match, so you'll
have to decide which attack to use and stick with it. Hypnosis is the standard
sleep-inducer, and Leech Seed is effective but costly. Evolve it soon, because
Exeggutor is quite good when played right.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C10: Exeggutor L35, Stage 1
The strategy most people like to use with Exeggutor is the Energy Trans with
Venasaur to give Exeggutor lots of Energy, and then Big Eggsplosion for lots of
potential damage. The only thing is to have luck on your side, and you'll be
dishing out tons of damage. Teleport also makes the high Retreat Cost not such
a problem.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
C11: Vulpix L11, Basic
Vulpix is another of those Pokemon which are just there to be evolved. Confuse
Ray is quite expensive for dealing 10 damage and possibly a status. Granted,
Vulpix pales to Growlithe, but it's the evolved form that counts, and it's the
evolved form you should make your decision upon. Water weakness and 1 retreat
are common for basic Fire Pokemon.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C12: Ninetails L32, Stage 1
Quite a powerhouse, Ninetails can, in a way, choose its target using Lure and
Fire Blast it to smithereens. The downside is that the Pokemon Lured from the
Bench can retreat on the next turn, and that Fire Blast requires discarding
Energy. Actually, I prefer this Fire Blast to Charizards Fire Spin, because
Ninetails can do tremendous damage turn after turn. On a side note, the Retreat
Cost is very low. Use it over Arcanine if you wish, it's really a coin-flip
deal to me.
Rating: 7.5/10
*******************************
C13: Flareon L22, Stage 1
To use this or the Fossil Flareon is completely your choice, as I think they
equally powerful. For 3 colorless Energy, you get to choose between 2 solid
attacks. This makes Flareon quite fast to set up, especially if you've got the
Double Colorless Energy. The best part: Flareon doesn't even need Fire Energy,
so it will fit in ANY deck.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
C14: Moltres L35, Basic
Believe it or not, Wildfire is actually more useful than Dive Bomb. Don't get
fooled by the 80 damage of Dive Bomb; you just may power up Moltres for 4 turns
for no effect. Wildfire makes Moltres of use in decks where you make the
opponent run out of cards (see Deck Archetypes). You might be able to add
Moltres into one of those decks. Otherwise, it's pretty useless.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C15: Shellder L8, Basic
Another of those 30 HP Pokemon, Shellder can do little but coin-flip attacks
that do no direct damage. And, because coin-flip attacks are so unreliable,
Shellder is especially vulnerable when the flip doesn't work. As Cloyster isn't
that good either, don't bother with this evolution.
Rating: 1.5/10
*******************************
C16: Cloyster L25, Stage 1
It was either intentional or really weird that all the attacks of the whole
evolution line rely on coin flips. Clamp looks good until you see it has a half
chance of missing altogether, and Spike Cannon is another one of those
inconsistent attacks. And the worst part is the HP is is as low as many Basic
Pokemon! Stay away from these Pokemon.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C17: Lapras L31, Basic
One of my personal favorites, Lapras has 80 HP, making it the perfect staller
to have as my Squirtle is raised on the Bench in a Rain Dance deck. Lapras is
almost as neccessary in Rain Dance decks as Blastoise itself. Water Gun and
Confuse Ray are great ways to keep your opponent at bay as you look for that
Pokemon Breeder. Also, Lapras can fit in some Stall decks due to its large
endurance and HP.
Rating: 8.5/10
*******************************
C18: Vaporeon L29, Stage 1
This Vaporeon is a close-to-exact copy of Scyther, and if you know how I rated
Scyther, then you know that's a good thing. However, much of the quickness that
made Scyther such a force is lost due to the evolution and higher Retreat Cost.
Nevertheless, Vaporeon can do 60 damage in 2 turns, and that's more than could
be said about a ton of other stage 1 evolutions. Use it in any deck you like,
since it doesn't need Water Energy.
Rating: 7/10
*******************************
C19: Omanyte L19, Stage 1
What a shame that Omanyte had to be a Stage 1... Its Pokemon Power would've
been very nice for a Basic, as it revealed the opponent's hand and his or her
secrets. Evolving it from the 10 HP Mysterious Fossil is a quite a pain, and
it's not exactly strong like a normal Stage 1 would be.
Rating: 2.5/10
*******************************
C20: Omastar L32, Stage 2
Well, Water Gun is the run-of-the-mill water attack, so it's nothing special.
Spike Cannon is exactly like Doubleslap, potentially damaging but unreliable.
I would keep the Omanyte line out of your deck. For that matter, the entire
fossil lineup isn't that appealing due to its long evolution time.
Rating: 3.5/10
*******************************
C21: Articuno L35, Basic
Articuno has the problem a lot of Water type cards share: lots of energy
required for not enought return. Both its attacks require at least three Water
energy, and one can do damage to your own Bench, something you never want to
do. Being a legendary Pokemon, though, you can't ignore it's lack of
weakness and Fighting resistance. I think there are better, cheaper
alternatives for your Water type deck.
Rating: 5/10
*******************************
C22: Pikachu L14, Basic
I like this Pikachu, and I usually couple it with some L16 Pikachus since they
have 60 HP compared to 50 for this one. You get to attack the opponent's bench,
albeit for just a minor hit, but it's still a plus. Like I said before, if you
want a good Lightning deck, stick with Electabuzz or Jolteon. Toss one of these
in only if you want to.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
C23: Raichu L45, Stage 1
I really would prefer the other Raichu purely due to the huge cost of this
one's only attack, Gigashock. This one's got HP to last, though, so choosing it
over the other has its merits. I would go with the other one simply because it
hits harder.
Rating: 6/10
*******************************
C24: Voltorb L10, Basic
There could not be a simpler Basic Pokemon than Voltorb: the simplest of
attacks, nothing that stands out. Have it only to evolve to Jungle Electrode,
and you'll want to sit this on the bench and evolve it as quickly as possible.
Rating: 1.5/10
*******************************
C25: Electrode L42, Stage 1
A very nice addition to your Lightning deck, Electrode has very nice HP
(espcecially for a Lightning type) and two solid attacks. Chain Lightning is
quite situational, but it's good for in-game duels where many of your
opponents' decks are mostly single-type oriented. I really like the low
retreat cost also.
Rating: 8/10
*******************************
C26: Jolteon L24, Stage 1
The plus about most of the Eevee evolutions is their versatility. You can stick
them in almost any deck, and a smart reason would be to counter some type
weaknesses the deck may have. Jolteon is no slouch with its attacks, and the
cost is okay for a Lightning Pokemon. Your best bet would be to put it in a
deck weak to water, and maybe put the other Jolteon in there too.
Rating: 6.5/10
*******************************
C27: Zapdos L40, Basic
Unless you can easily power it up from the bench with lots of Lightning Energy,
don't use this Zapdos. It's main asset is its ability to damage weak Pokemon
in the opponent's bench, but that comes at an unreliable coin flip. Just stick
with the Peal of Thunder Zapdos, if any at all.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C28: Mankey L7, Basic
Mankey's main advantage is its Pokemon Power, which lets you peek at any prize
in play, the top card in a deck, or a random card in the opponent's hand. To
offset Mankey's terrible HP, you will have to have it Peek, then quickly take
it out with the advantage of zero retreat cost. A fun card to experiment with,
I guess, since knowing your prizes gives you an advantage.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C29: Primeape L35, Stage 1
Primeape resembles a weaker Machoke and is a typical Stage 1 Fighting Pokemon.
I don't like the idea of doing damage to yourself from Tantrum, and Fury Swipes
isn't too reliable. Play it only if you want to invest the Mankey strategy;
otherwise, leave it in your collection.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
C30: Rhyhorn L18, Basic
It's always nice to have high HP in a Basic Pokemon, if for nothing else than
to absorb damage counters. Unfortunately, Rhyhorn's mobility is completely
severed by its triple Retreat Cost. Horn Attack is not much consolation.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C31: Rhydon L48, Stage 1
Horn Attack is still there, and Ram is not much of an improvement. I never like
the idea of doing damage to yourself, but switching the Defending Pokemon could
work out nicely for you, especially if your foe has a Snorlax or another
high-retreat, Fighting weakness Pokemon on the bench. Retreat is still a
problem, and be cautious when putting Rhydon in your deck.
Rating: 4.5/10
*******************************
C32: Kabuto L9, Stage 1
Kabuto's Pokemon Power reduces all damage done by half, effectively doubling
its HP to a 60, which is still considered somewhat low for a Stage 1. And don't
expect to Knock anyone out with Scratch. Overall, just like all the prehistoric
Pokemon, Kabuto's usefulness is very limited.
Rating: 3/10
*******************************
C33: Kabutops L30, Stage 2
Kabutops is unique in that its moveset and characteristics liken it to a Grass
type rather than a Fighting type. Its attacks are also quite costly, but Absorb
is great if you can afford it. Too bad the measly 60 HP (for a stage 2) will
keep me from recommending this Pokemon to your deck.
Rating: 4/10
*******************************
C34: Aerodactyl L28, Stage 1
The only reason I'd use a Mysterious Fossil in the first place, Aerodactyl has
a unique and quite useful Pokemon Power, especially if you can bring it out
early in the duel when your opponent is trying to evolve his or her Basic
Pokemon. Beware, since disallowing evolutions also holds for your Pokemon. I
would best put it in a deck with few or no evolution cards, perhaps a Haymaker
or Stall deck.

I've got a winning strategy right here...for the opponent's team! Seriously,

because of that? Some duelists use this to erase more hazardous effects, like
Sleep and Paralysis. But isn't that what Switch and Full Heal are for? With
Full Heal, you don't have to risk taking damage every turn. Think, people.
Combos: Umm...use it as an extra Full Heal? But who runs out of those, anyway?

Pidgey line both are bad. They, along with Lightning Energy, must be replaced.

*** 9: FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions ***
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the section where questions, comments, or other suggestions are
discussed. More will be coming as the document is updated.
Q: I heard there were two exclusive Card Pop! cards. Is that true?
A. Yes. The Venusaur L67 and Mew L15 are exclusive promotionals.
Q: What's that door at the back of the Challange Hall for?
A. Decoration. You can't go in there.
Q: Why do you have two Card Lists?
A. I wanted the reader to easily find any card, provided they either knew its
Card Number or the Pokedex Number.
Please feel free to email me (section 1) if you have a question, and it could
be included in this section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.1: Tips and Tricks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some tricks of the trade that might get you through the game a little
easier. Feel free to send in tricks by contacting me in any way.
* When you are about to lose a duel, turn off the game, or simultaneously push
A, B, Start, and Select. Use the Continue Duel option to make the game start
at your previous turn. Now, you have another shot at winning!
* If you get an undesired result after an attack, and another of your attacks
is better, turn off the game and turn it back on. You can use the other
attack instead of the first one.
Example: If Lapras has 2 Water Energys and gets a tails from Confuse Ray, he
is better off using Water Gun and you should follow the procedure above.
* If your opponent gets lucky on his/her turn and Knocks your best Pokemon Out,
restart the game and use Continue Duel to switch your attacker out!
* Save after every duel when Rod or Host asks you to prepare your deck. That
way, even if you lose, you can face the opponent again.
* Hold the B button when walking to run. Running saves you a lot of time in
getting from place to place.
* The people in the game all walk in place. Want to do that too? Simply run
into a corner and face the wall. You will attempt to walk through, but fail.

9.3: Linking Up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pokemon Trading Card Game supports the Game Link Cable. Connect the link
to two Gameboy external slots, and turn on both Gameboys. Go to the woman the
Club Lounge of any Dueling Club and begin. You have the following options while
linking up, but make sure both players have the Pokemon Trading Card game
cartridge before doing so.
~ You can duel your friend with a deck you have in your posession. When you are
done with your turn in a duel, you can check out you or your opponent's play
area while waiting for your foe to finish. Also, you can set the number of
Prizes by pressing Start before the game.
~ With two Gameboy Color systems, you can use the Link Cable to trade cards
and decks. When choosing the cards to send, you'll be taken to a menu much like
the one letting you modify decks. Once finished, press B and highlight Send to
begin transmitting. You can send deck designs in similar fashions. The two
Gameboys' infrared ports need to be 4-5 cm apart to do this.
~ With Gameboy Color's infrared communications port, you are able to send
cards to another game using Card Pop!. Use the Card Pop! option at the main
menu, and make sure the two Gameboys' infrared ports are 4-5 cm apart. if
successful, you will both receive a card. You can only Pop! with someone once,
so Pop! with many people to get the Ghost Cards (achieved only by Card Pop!).
Have fun!
