What is the Best Way to Shuffle?

Firstly, you shouldn't pile shuffle with a number you can devide 60 with (e.g. 2; 3; 5; 6; etc) because they will give a bad shuffle. Me and my friends think this is going to be the best way:
Start with normal/riffling shuffling;
7 or 9 pile shuffling (I prefer 9, but most of my friends prefer 7)
More normal/riffling shuffling
5 pile shuffling
little more normal/riffling shuffling
And give your deck to your opponent to cut

then a judge comes over and you get DQ'd for unsportsman-like conduct....PWNAGE shuffle has just been PWN'D
there really is no real best way to shuffle...so long as you do some form of shuffle and all cards get mixed
I just do a semi-bridge type shuffle (like the bridge shuffle, but no bridging) at least 3 times and allow my opponent to cut
I use the #6, Fax.
What I like to do, and it works, is do 6 pile shuffling, take 1 pile and shuffle it to the other 5 piles, take another pile and shuffle to another pile, and so on. It works pretty well, and then I just do a plain shuffle. Oh, for the 6 shuffle, I just squeeze in the last two piles.

Most other games the standard is an odd number, this offers for more "random" results. You'll shuffle will be skewed, and so the piles will not be in as close to the same order. It allows for more random, and less stacked results.
organize your deck from pokemon to trainers to energies then make three rows of five cards in each row stack each row then cut your deck

I bridge twice, four pile, and bridge again.
Just a pointer, when your opponent bridge shuffles, always cut because they might purposely be leaving the top card on top.

The Satan(666)Shuffle:
Sort each of your cards by trainers, energy, and pokemon. Then do some 6 piles for each of them. Then shuffle the two smallest piles together and do some 6 piles with them. Then 6 pile the bigest stack. Then shuffle both piles together and do some 6 piles.

I used to put all of the cards i needed together with each other(EX: piplup family with all the energy they need) then I would hand shuffle(don't know what to call it) if got cut, but most of the time the cards i needed were still together.
