Back To The PokŽPlace

Well! I am very lucky! Last night (which was October 7th), I got myself 13 Fossil (1st edition!) PokŽmon card booster packs! I got some awesome cards! Including: Dragonite, Articuno, Moltres, Areodactyl, Haunter, and Gengar!

Here you will find strategies, tips, detailed info about cards, including attacks, HP, and levels. All this info is correct, because these are all taken from American versions of the Fossil cards. If only I had a scanner, I'd scan pics of my cards and post 'em up here, but I don't.

Well, I just got myself both of the Fossil theme decks, and info is posted up about them below.

Okay, that's all I have for the PokŽDex so far. Newxt week I'll post more stuff, but tonight i just don't have enough time. But here's a strategy!

STRATEGIES

Now that the fossil cards have come out, decks will be more powerful. A lot of the new Fossil cards have nice attacks. Take Sandlsash, for example. She has 2 attacks. Slash, and Fury Swipes. Slash doin 20 damage, and Fury Swipes doing 20x. Not bad, eh? And Fury Swipes can do up to 60 damage if you're lucky enough. Not to mention 70HP and a one-energy retreat cost, this card is a beauty. Sandslash is a very good card to put in the "Blackout" deck.

There are also 5 new Trainer cards. Mr. Fuji, Gambler, Recycle, Energy Search, and Mysterious Fossil. Now, Mysterious Fossil is a must for every player. The only way you can play Kabuto, Omanyte, and Areodactyl is with a Mysterious Fossil! Mysterious Fossil is much like a Clefairy Doll, having 10HP and no attacks whatsoever. But, the power of Mysterious Fossil is that you can ressurect exctinct PokŽmon from it.

Energy Search is a good card, because it lets you take a basic energy card from your deck and slap it into your hand. A good thing for decks that have energy-munching PokŽmon.

Another card worth looking at is Golduck. She has 70HP and two formidable attacks. For one Psychic Energy, Golduck can let out a Psychic shock that will paralyze your opponents, and give them 10 damage! And, for a colorless energy and two water energies, Golduck can power up for a powerful hyper beam, which does 20 damage and discards one of your opponent's attached energies. A one energy retreat cost makes this a good card to keep opponents at bay.

Another nice card to annoy your opponents is Magmar. Magmar can do 10 and 20 damage, as well as poisoning your opponent and throwing off his or her PokŽMons' aim with smokescreen and smog. With 70 HP, Magmar can take some damage, while giving out some, too. Another one-energy retreat will help you send Magmar back to your bench if it gets poisoned or confused.

Golem is a sturdy card, but make sure you have a switch in your hand if you're thinking about sending it out into play. With a 4-energy retreat cost, this PokŽmon will take some coaxing to bring it back to the bench.
