Hi pojo!

I decided to make this deck after a month of thinking about the ideas and
the strategies for stalling! Finally, I got some boosters for my birthday
which was 2 days ago, 5 of them! So I got a Gengar as I hoped, 2 Haunters
as I hoped too and a Slowbro and a Hypno!!

So here is the deck, its a kind of fast attacking staller you could say.
Here I go!

Pokemon Total:14

4Jynx
2Gastly (fossil)
2Haunter (fossil)
1Gengar
1Mr. Mime
2Slowpoke
1Slowbro
1Chansey

Energy Total:20

20 Psychic

Trainers Total:26

2switch
1pokedex
2potion
1super potion
2gust of wind
2recycle
2energy search
1pokecenter
4plupower
3Mr. Fuji
1comp search
4Energy Removal
1Super Energy Removal

The main idea of this deck is to get something like mime, jynx, chansey or
gastly out and use the trainers to stock up on cards and to stall. If you
dont win by now, which you probably wont yet but be stalling, try to get
out slowbro and a fuji so you can pokecenter or fuji slowbro to get rid of
that damage! Then you can get him back after you use fuji! So try to keep
doing this procedure until you an get some heavy hitters ready like Jynx
and Gengar and Chansey!

TOURNAMENT
It was single eliminations, (yay!) just the set up for my deck. I faced 5
cool trainers with different decks each. Here is round one!

Round1: A fire deck with 4 charizards, what a newbie!
Match1: He gets out a eevee with a charmander vs. a chansey and jynx. i
pump up jynx and meditate my way through charmander but eevee had
resistance. So I go out my fully pumped chansey when a basic was his next
card! I double-edged him and i won even letting him get a prize off me!

Ok, so I got a first win, here is the record so far..
Wins 1 Losses 0
On to round two.

Round2: Another psychic deck!
Match1: He got out a gastly fossil vs. my chansey, he cant hurt me so I
just stall, then I get out my Gengar. Now its a battle with my Gengar vs
his Alakazam!! So I use dark mind 60 then he uses his confuse ray! 60! So I
use slowbro to take damage, I fuji him. Then I use curse, move a damage
counter to a pathetic abra wih 10 damage already on him then I use dark
mind killing him AND the abra with 20 on it! HAHAHAHA!!! Game!

So I got very lucky on that battle but here is my record
Wins 2 Losses 0
On to round 3.

Round3: Water deck!
Match1: He gets out poliwag, I get jynx, he doesnt get anymore basics and I
kill him in 2 turns with doubleslap, plain ad simple.......

Easy win....
Wins 3 losses 0

Round4: A haymaker, ARGH
Match1: He gets out a Hitmonchan vs my Gastly, mwahaha! I kill it with my
gastlys lick and he only has a farfetch'd left on his bench! So I was
getting ready to kill it when BOOM! He uses ALL 4 BILLS!! he draws 8 more
cards!! argh! So he sets down 2 hitmonchan and 2 electrabuzz and he
slaughters me.......

I only lost once so I go to the finals now! Here is the record!
Wins 3 Losses 1

FINAL MATCH: A grass deck, looks good!
Match1: Oh my gosh! Thins guy is simple! How did he get in the finals
anyway!! He gets out Nidoran M and then says oops I forgot my Venusaur hold
on.... So he goes and gets a Venusaur from a binder of cards. Then I said
"can I count the # of cards you have in your deck?" So I do and he has 75
cards in it! Disqualification and I win!

I win 15 boosters!!! And here is my final record....

Wins 4 Losses 1!  Not bad!
