here's a deck i played in a local tourney and (surprisingly) whooped some major butt. i went 12-1 and lost to a psychic deck with lots of kadabras and jynxes. this is built around stalling until your machamo can get really big. i admit it's pretty slow but it works. NO TIME FOR LOSERS, CUZ WE'RE THE MACHAMPIONS: 24x fighting energy 2x bill 3x plus power 2x switch 3x gust of wind 2x defender 1x pokemon trader 2x computer search 4x machop 3x hitmonchan 4x onix 2x sandshrew 4x machoke 4x machamp if possible, try to get an onix out 1st, that'll stall long enough to get out a machop. while stalling with the very resilient onix, evolve and energize machop as quickly as possible into a machamo with 4 energies. the trader, computer search and other stuff like that is to get out a machop even easier or maybe trade your sandshrew for a hitmonchan. the switch is to avoid onix's overly high retreat cost and the gusts are to get the weak into the battle. the plus powers are to get a higher HP pokemon down in 1 shot (such as an enemy hitmonchan) while defenders help onix in his stalling. if you like this deck and wanna see others made by pikazap, go to http://www.geocities.com/tokyo/subway/6390 thanx *~ pikazap ~*
