This is an update to my previous deck, "Stall-Slammer." v1.1 has 3 Chanseys, and the Gastlies and Haunters have been replaced by Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff. The Alakazams are still there for the Pokémon Power alone (although Kadabra is good at KO-ing other Psychics), and the Chansey strategy of using Double-Edge and then swapping the damage is still there. But the Jigglies and Wigglies are there to just plain POUND on your opponent Plus, Mr. Fuji has been added in for a slight twist: If it looks like you're going to deck yourself, start loading energy on Alakazam. Then, when you're about to lose, use Mr. Fuji, and increase your deck by three or more cards. However, this relies on your opponent not using Lass. Plus, if your in a pinch, don't play any Bills or Prof. Oaks, and SCRUNCH with Chansey until your opponent decks themself. So have fun with "Stall-Slammer v1.1"

This event was at a local Game Keeper store in Mass. (near Wellesley) on Jan 31st, and was not a tourney, yet part of the league. About 15 people were there, most around the age of 10. I am 14, and still a certified coach. The deck and its older forms have a record of 17-0, and three of those wins were against the gym leader.

Round 1 (vs. Rob - Gym Leader)
  Rob now sports a psychic - electric deck packed with promos --- everything from the first promo Pikachu to the new Mew to the Movie Mewtwo. Plus, its got some Raichus, Electabuzz, and Zapdos thrown in as well. The game came down to me stalling with Chansey's "scrunch." Rob also likes to use Mr. Fuji to prolong the life of his deck, so I won it by gusting out the cards that he was loading with energy, and then knoking them out. I was able to get 8 energies on my Alakazam before Fuji-ing, and ended up winning by collecting all of my prizes. (Rob had one left at the end)

Round 2 (vs. someone who was just learning)
  This opponent had a deck that was 60 cards just thrown together. He had about 20 holos in it, so he had basically no Basics. I ended up winning by creating a large bench, powering up a Wiggly, and then attacking with "Do the Wave" --- swapping damage to Chansey when the need arose. I killed three of his Basics, and then he had none left, so I won. (He collected no prizes.)

Round 3 (vs. yet another nameless 7 year-old)
  He was playing a Brushfire deck, but just could not get any cards. I started with 2 Chanseys, 4 Dbl Colorless energies, and a Jiggly in my hand. I made Chansey active, and attached a DC energy. Then I succesfully scrunched. My opponent started with a lone charmander, and could only do Scratch. I drew a Bill, attached another DC energy to my Chansey, and Double-Edged his Carmander, winning the game in only two turns.

Round 4 (vs. Jason)
Jason was in his twenties, and played a Grass deck that he made. I won the coin toss, and started with an Jiggly active and two Abra on my bench. I attached an energy, and did sleep. He started with a grimer active, and a koffing on the bench. He put an energy on Koffing. His grimer was still asleep, so I attached a DC energy to my Jiggly, and did Pound for 20. He attached another energy to koffing, but still didn't wake up. I drew a Wiggly, evolved my Jiggly, and attached an energy to Abra. Then I did "Do the Wave." He brought out his Koffing, and did 10 with confusion. I attached another energy to Abra, and passed. He put a third energy on Koffing, and did another ten (no effects). I attached another energy to my Abra, and evolved it. Then I paid the retreat cost with the DC energy, but flipped tails, so I passed. Then he did 10 plus poison to my Wiggly. I attached another energy to Wiggly, then discarded both of them. But my retreat failed again. He did another ten, and at the end of my turn, I had seventy, but not enough energy to retreat. So he did another ten to wiggly, knocking it out. But I brought out my Kadabra, and KO-ed his Koffing, so I won.

Last Round (vs. a woman)
She did not have a deck, but borrowed one from the Gym Leader. To my utter dismay, I found that I was battling another version of MY deck. She started with a chansey active, and one on her bench. She won the flip, attached an energy and did nothing. I started with an Abra active, and one on my bench. I attached an energy, and paralyzed her. The game continued at slow motion until I got the searching part of my deck on gear, and powered up a chansey and a Wiggly. I ended up winning when she had three prizes left.
