Subj: NidoDrill Date: 3/26/00 11:31:49 AM Central Standard Time From: Scythabuzz@aol.com To: thelady@pojo.com CC: spike@pojo.com What's Up! This is my newest deck, NidoDrill, and has one a few game, and lost a few though not lost as much as it has won. My strategy is to get a Scyther up front, slashing, while I power up Nidoking and Beedrill and use Beedrill free retreat to bring out Nidoking when Beedrill is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Well anyway, here's my deck
NidoDrill Grass Pokemon 3 Bulbasaur 2 Ivysaur 1 Venusaur 4 Nidoran (male) 3 Nidorino 2 Nidoking 2 Scyther 4 Wheedle 3 Kakuna 2 Beedrill 2 Dittos Trainers 2 CPU Search 3 Energy Removal 1 Super Energy Removal 2 Bills 2 Energy Retrievals 2 Oaks Energy 21 Grass Energy 2 DCE	Pokemon 3-2-1 Venusaur, 4-3-2 Nidoking, and a 4-3-2 Beedrill and 2 Ditto is a bit much for a deck. You'll definitely run into trouble if you try this, because they all take so long to get out, and you don't have any breeders to help. You'll run into energy problems, and probably wind up losing more Pokemon than you can afford to. Since the name of your deck is NidoDrill, and the 3-2-1 evolution of Venusaur is the most unbalanced, remove the Nidoking Family. Next, drop Nidoran line to a 3-2-2 evolution series, and do the same to the Beedrill line. Trainers With families that run Stage II evolutions, you MUST have Pokemon Breeders in your deck to give your evolutions the speed they need to be viable against Haymakers and potpourris. Add 4 Pokemon Breeders, and 2 Item finders so that you can use them more than once. Also, add at least 2 Pokemon Traders so you can go fish for that evolution, or basic, you need. add one more Super Energy Removal. Energies Your energies actually look pretty good.
