This is our (my brother's and my) third submission to this page.  This is
another deck from the creator of Water+Fighting, or Denial (it's in the
April list).  It is a Psychic and Fire deck, and revolves around two
extremely powerful Pokemon - The awesome Charizard, and the mysterious
Alakazam.  Granted, both of these are Stage 2 Pokemon, but this deck is
designed with more than enough to keep you running should you not draw them
early.  I will detail playing this deck at the end of the page.

Fire Pokemon

2x Charizard (Fire Spin. 'Nuff Said)
3x Charmeleon (Slash is usable w/ any energy, Flamethrower will (usually)
get you out of a tight spot)
4x Charmander (50 HP in a basic, and Ember is decent on a soon-to-be
evolved guy)

Psychic Pokemon

2x Alakazam (Damage Swap! It RULES! - plus, confuse ray makes for some
drunk-ass pokemon for your opponent)
3x Kadabra (a 50(!) damage attack in a stage 1, no discard, no coin, no
nothing - recover can save your butt too)
4x Abra (Paralysis is possible, and no retreat cost - if you lose a guy and
don't know who to bring out, bring out an Abra - it can be swiched for
anything else on your turn)

Colorless Pokemon

4x Chansey (dump that damage here! - also - Double-edge is a Kamikaze
attack)

Trainer

2x Switch (get that charizard out there!)
2x Gust of Wind (insta-kill vs. anything if you've got Charizard out -
'cept Chanseys and other Charizards)
2x Pokemon Trader (Trade that end-game Charmander for an Alakazam *evil
grin* - also - get that Charizard/Alakazam/Chansey combo out even faster)
1x Energy Retrieval (Get the energy back after Fire Spin)
2x Bill (Free cards! yes!)
1x Professor Oak (more free cards! yes!)
2x Pokemon Center (I'll explain this one in detail on the bottom)

Energy

2x Double Colorless Energy (For Charizard and Chansey)
12x Fire Energy
12x Psychic Energy

So there you have it.  This deck, in case you couldn't tell, is designed to
get your Charizard out and keep it there.  You accomplish this by having a
benched Alakazam along with a few Chanseys to soak up that damage.  When
your Charizard gets hit, just move the damage onto the Chanseys, keeping
your Charizard alive and well, and blast away with Fire Spins.  One of the
key cards in this deck is Pokemon Center.  Yep, you heard right, Pokemon
Center.  One of the most underused cards in the whole set.  Here goes.
    Picture this - your opponent has managed to knock your Charizard down a
bit, and you are out of Pokemon to drop the damage on - somehow, you need
to pull this game off.  Move all of the damage off of your charizard onto
whatever you can - Alakazam, Chansey, even Abras or Charmeleons - it
doesn't matter.  Once you have all of the damage off of Charizard, use
Pokemon Center.  Instant heal for EVERYONE, and you're back to a fresh
start.  You'll lose all the energy off of everyone that had damage on it,
but you really weren't intending to use that Chansey as your active, were
you?
    The other trainer cards in this deck are mainly used to set up this
combo faster and to take out annoying guys (Like Blastoise - watch it when
your opponent starts pulling a ton of water energy onto their Wartortle -
kill it there with Gust of Wind).  Anyway, the drawbacks to this deck are
that it is REALLY expensive... but that's about it.  You'll whoop fighting
decks, plant decks, and other psychics (for the most part).  Lightning is
neutral - it really has no weakness or resistance to fire or psychic,
though with Fire Spin, you won't need it - there's not a lightning Pokemon
that can stand up to it without Defender.  Remember, the key is to set this
up fast - use Chanseys to stall if you have too.

        Enjoy,
