Sup pojo. I love your site. I visit it almost every day. My deck is AWESOME!!
It kicked everyone around at the tourney. I came in first at planet comics in
lake grove on Monday. Here is the deck.

Pokemon (22)
4 Venonat (good stating Pokemon, can paralyze and can heal himself, plus
measly 1 retreat)
4 Venomoth (great Pokemon, can confuse and poison in one shot if gets into
trouble retreat for free!! Resistance helps too)
3 Koffing (2 energy you get a no lose situation. Flip tails confused heads
poisoned! Both are awesome side effects)
3 Voltorb (stinks, in to evolve)
2 Electrode (Base) (great 50 for 3 energy solid 80 HP and can turn into 2
energy when you really need it)
4 Electabuzz (Great Pokemon Easy to load. A 10 move for 1 energy that can
paralyze. 2 energy 30+. I love Electabuzz)
2 Chansey (Stall Stall Stall plus 1 retreat and double edge isn't as bad as
it looks)

Trainers (15)
3 Computer Searches (get any car out of your deck. Very useful)
3 Professor Oak (need a fresh hand OAK it)
3 Potion (Heals your Pokemon. very useful)
2 Pokemon Traders (trade in a Voltorb and get a buzz or a Venomoth. I'll take
it!)
2 Gust of Wind (get any easy prize or slow em up by gusting in that snorlax!
very, very useful)
2 Itemfinder (get back any trainer i usually prefer to get back a gust of
wind)

Energy (23)
12 Electric Energy
11 Grass Energy

My strategy is to use the electric Pokemon to do the high damage and the
grass to do the nasty side effects. Electrode can do 50 for only 3 energy and
Electabuzz can do up to 40 for 2 energy. Only problem is they both if tails
hurt themselves 10 but I got potion to solve that little problem. Now Venonat
can paralyze, Venomoth can poison and confuse, and Koffing can poison and
confuse. Only difference between Koffing and Venomoth is Koffing can poison
or confuse automatically but can only get one of them in one turn. Venomoth
can do both in one turn but only has a 50% chance of working. Partically I
prefer Venomoth. Trainers such as computer search, professor oak, Pokemon
trader and even item finder get out your cards. Meanwhile Gust of Wind can
disrupt your opponents plan and turn the tide of the game. Only Pokemon
without a complicated strategic attack is Chansey and anyone can figure it
out by 120 Hp and first attack can prevent damage. Chansey's purpose is to STA
LL.
