==========|  Explainations:

With this deck, you're just supposed to have have fun.  The
primary idea behind the deck was to be a Wigglytuff one with
Pokemon that could use little amounts of Energy, but it seems to
have taken on a life of its own.  Here are some card
explainations:

-  Evil Golbat:  Pokemon direct damage!  Sure, its Pokemon Power
only does 10 damage, but it's to any Pokemon, and could possibly
Knock Out that Pokemon hiding on your opponent's Bench.  Mix in
the Golbat's attack to do 20 damage to any Pokemon, and you have
an annoying Bench-Hitter.
-  Oddish:  What's not cool about first-turn, automatic poison or
sleep?
-  Pinsir and Team Rocket Scyther:  Um . . . I only have two
Jungle Scythers at the moment, so I added these two.  The TR
Scyther is kinda good; it'll do 10 more damage for the same
Energy (in this deck) as Jungle's Slash, plus it has an almost
permanent Scrunch.
-  Miss Team Rocket and Miniskirt:  Hand "destruction".
-  Natsume's Eyes:  Sortof a Pokemon Trader for all of the cards
in your hand.  Nothing bites more than having a hand full of
Evolutions and Energy, and nothing to play them on.  So, use
Natsume's Eyes to try and get something better.  It can also
disrupt your opponent's game.  Use Natsume's Eyes, then use
something like Miss Team Rocket.
-  Team Rocket Member:  Bench "destruction".  Sure, if you toss
tails, your turn is over, but it's just a nifty little card.

==========|  Weaknesses:

Fire and Psychic can pretty much wipe out this deck.  Other
problems haven't been found yet.  Anyone with some suggestions?
