The object of this deck is to bring out the big boys that have very strong Predecessors such as Machop or Machoke. They are both very strong and can survive while you are Powering up Others on the side. Machamp can then be brought out and basically kill or badly injure anything you are fighting. The only problems I have encountered are with a fire and grass deck, But with Nidoking it shouldn't be that much trouble. His double poison effect can really do some damage. I have been in 3 friendly tournaments and this weekend I intend to participate in the Pokemon mall tour. A lot of my friends have good decks and I have placed anywhere from dead last once to first 3 times in a row. I think that this is a good way to build any deck. The 2 type's of Pokemon, 12 Pokemon of each color and 12 energies of the 2 colors too. This is the model from which I build all my decks off of. 12 Pokemon of ________ (Any type) 12 Pokemon of ________ (Any type) 12 Energy of __________ (Any type) 12 Energy of __________ (Any type) 2 of any type of card that fit's the deck 10 energy cards Here is the deck: 12x Grass Energy 3x Nidoran (male) 2x Nidorino 1x Nidoking 3x Bulbasaur 2x Ivysaur 1x Venusaur 12x Fighting Energy 3x Machop 2x Machoke 1x Machamp 2x Diglett 1x Dugtrio 1x Hitmonchan 1x Chansey 1x Clefairy 2x Computer search 2x Super Potion 2x Pokemon Breeder 2x Pokemon Trader 2x Super Energy Removal And that is the ultimate Grass and Fighting deck. The only bad thing about this deck is how hard it is to get the right guys at the right time. I recommend it for Experts only. I always seem to win using this deck, I even beat a fire and water deck once. I mainly use this deck in competition along with my Water and Psychic deck following the same accord. If you want to contact me about suggestions or problems please write me at DownWitDX4@aol.com. Thanx to all those players out there and keep the decks coming I love to experiment. The Pokemaniac, Joe
