Next turn, > evolve, energy down, attack again. Pokemon like these are handy when you can > constantly evolve and attack same turn. Instead of waiting for many many > turns and energy attachments. > > Start off by putting out a Koffing or Chansey if possible. Koffing will start > you off by Poisoning or Confusion, makeing their Pokemon nearly defenseless. > Use Chansey out front in order to stall. After you manage to get Bulbasaur up > to an Ivysaur and/or Venusaur with Bredders or plain evolution, retrat any > Pokemon out front and hit them with Venusaur's Solar beam. If your stucks > with Ivysaur or Kakuna, Poison right away to deal lots of dammage. Now comes > the cool part. If your opponent comes out with a Pokemon that can do at least > 60 dammage to you and you'd be dead in two turns, heres what you do. Use > Venusaurs energy transfer, move the energy onto a non hurt Pokemon, heal > Venusaur, move the energy back onto Venusaur, and attack again for 60. Its > better to keep your bench with 4 Pokemon to make room for more Venusaurs and > Koffings. Always evenly spread out your energy among many Pokemon on your > bench. If you attached all your energy to 1 or two Pokemon, a simple Super > Energy Removal or two would wipe the Energy out. If you keep it one energy > for every benched Pokemon and always keep four energy on Venusaur, he can > only hit Venusaur with a Super Energy removal. Then move the energys from the > bench onto Venusaur and place more on the benched Pokemon. > > As far as the Beedrills and Weedles and Kakunas, just use them if you can't > seem to get a Venusaur out, use them to cover and attack. > > So far this deck is undefeated with a strategy like this. > > Made by Falcon Zero
