My strategy is to start with Magmar, or Electabuzz. Then power up a Wigglytuff or KangaskhanMewtwo is a clean-up hitter. He's best in late game, when there's lots of psycic energy in the discard pile. I know that there are lots of single trainers, but I tried to build this deck with what I have at home.

Match One:Himalaya VS Kid with Water Deck
I got Electabuzz in my starting hand, and Mr. Fuji and Energy.
He laid down a Horsea. My Buzz made short work of it, then he brought up another. I sent it off to wherever Horseas go, then yet another on came out. It went on like that. He had energy problems, so Buzz stayed alive to finish off all of his Horseas and Staryus, so I drew all six prizes.
1-0
Between Matches:
I went and Card Popped with someone on my Pokemon TCG cart. I got a stupid Mankey. Then I traded with some kids, I got an Alakazam, Clefairy, and a Scoop-Up, plus an SER.
Match Two:Himalaya VS Kid with Fighting Deck
Just by looking at this kid's deck, you can tell it's a more advanced overnight bag. He had an Onyx, Machops, and other fighting things. This guy tried to evolve his Machop into Machamp without Machoke or Breeder!!! I beat the kid with a fully pumped Wiggly, drawing all six prizes.
2-0
Match Three:Himalaya VS Mike with ??? deck
I don't remember this match well, he got a Growlithe and another Pokemon, I forget witch. Electabuzz sent to the discard pile, and he had no more basics!!!
3-0
Then I traded my Rainbow Islands Mew for a Base Electrode, Venomoth and the new Neo water monster and his evoloutions.
After that it was time to go. Oh well, there's always next week!
Time for Props and Slops:
Props to Electabuzz, for being the best basic
Props to my Mom for driving me, and waiting for me.
Props to Pojo, for having an awesome web site
Props to the kid who traded me for Mew
Props to the people who I battled, for being good sports

Slops to this one kid, for always saying "Oh, no!".
