Strongest card
I'm interested in finding out what the "strongest card" now is in the world of the Pokémon TCG. I realise this is quite an ambiguous term, so I'll try to explain. What card is the most sought after by serious TCG battlers? What card instills fear in opponents when it is used? I remember in the Base Set that Charizard used to be the strongest card (at least from what I understood) It had 120HP, and while Chansey matched it, Charizard had a stronger attack. I also remember Dark Alakazam, but I think that was spoke about because of its rarity. Anyway, what is currently the "strongest card"? Feel free to create your own definition of strongest card, or put forth multiple cards as long as you can justify them.

Since I'm a serious battler, I can tell you that there are a lot of cards that can be defined as strong. Here's a list of some of the most popular of these strong cards right now:
Zapdos ex
Pidgeot
Dark Ampharos
Dark Tyranitar
Blastoise ex
Lugia ex
Scizor ex
and a few others I can't think of right now.

Of the ones made by Nintendo I'd have no clue what is the strongest but of the ones made by Wizards of the Coast it would be Dark Charizard from the Team Rocket set.
Potentially Dark Charizard can do 250 damage if you have 5 fire energy cards attached to it, discard them, and get heads on all 5 flips.
Now if you had 40 fire energy cards attached to dark charizard and discarded them all and got heads on every single flip that would be a total of 2000 damage which is something no pokemon card could survive. I forget what the attack is called so I will try to get a picture of the card sometime.

However the chances of that happening are minimal at best. In my personal opinion the strongest attack doesn't always just rely on power - it must also be consistent (and quick)

I'm back after leaving for many months (last time I logged on was January, last time I posted was a while before that) and I wonder if any of you guys still remember me!
