The first attack is good. Not great, but good. And it's only OK for a stage 1.
I don't like attacks that are only good if the pokemon has a lot of damage on them. I usually like to try and *gasp* get RID of damage counters on a pokemon instead of piling them on there, risking him getting knocked out right adter he attacks. Keeping your pokemon alive is more important than suicide bombing him in there. So what if he'll do 80 damage...he'll just get killed by a ratata next turn. Getting prizes is important, but it's more important to preserve your own.
And thus...my rant ends
