Sneasel etc.
2 Elm - Dont lose hand like with oak and
prevents decking!
1 Computer Search - Look for anything
1 Time capsule - Give me back my energies!
Okay I bet Your Thinking Whats with the low
basic count? Well i have enough to get one at the beginning and then 2 turns
later Judging on the opponents type of pokemon i bring out the pokemon i need.
If they decline it works as a bill. If both benches are full it still works as
a bill. This is a seriously overlooked card. I dont like oak either.
Discarding your hand usually back fires. Now thre battles. I am 100%
honest this is all true and i suggest you try
for yourself.
ROUND ONE - "Erika Deck"
okay i draw a hand and i get a buzz,
steelix a feew trainers and energy. The kid puts out a Erikas
bellsprout. I lost the coin flip as usual and he attacked me for 20 damage and
did 10 to himself. It was basically an easy battle. Two turns later i evolved
my new onix to steelix and had total resistance. I knocked out a few more
basics, and won
1 win o loss
Round 2 Hitmonchan deck
I came so close to losing this battle.
Almost all my pokes were weak after 3 straight knockouts i was relieved.
Finally i got a bench full of fighting resistant pokemon with challenge and
they were powered even though i had to sacrifice two buzz and a chansey. I put
out zapdos His hitmonchan was 20 damage from being knockec out and i used
plasma and was all powered up. Then Onix came and used rock throw for 10 or
after zero. It had 90 hp so i attached gold berry to him and used
electroburn with 2 pluspowers i savedwith zero damage (gold berry). I knocked
out him and knocked him out. next was a quagsire. I had no resistance and
he attacked me for 60 leaving me with 10 hp but doing 10 damage to his
pokemon. I knocked it out and myself with electroburn and drew. i had 2 and so
did he. 2 dark dugtrios were on the bench and having type advantage i
won
2 wins 0 loss
Round 3 Rain dance
Theres not much to say here. He was
weak against me and he never did get blastoise out. He only got 3 basics out
too. It wasnt that hard but squirtle kept paralyzing me. 3 win 0 loss
Round 4 Cold fusion
To my delight this person was using a
cold fusion deck. I lost the coin fliup again. He put out mantine and
powered up for undulante. I had out scyther. this is probably the sweetest
combo ive ever done. He had zero on his bench so i wanted to knockout the
mantine fast. I needed an electric pokemon strong agfainst it that did at
least 2o damage for 1 energy - R. ZApdos. I came close to using challenge but
then hed have a full bench and my plan wouldnt work. I used erikas and a
bill and finally i had what i wanted.I use computer search tha i just drew
then discard 2 energy removalsto use comp search. I search for r. zapdos my
opponent cant fill bench and i put it down I retreated for free and brought
out r.zapdos i use plasma and a pluspower for a knockout. Know more benched
pokemon so i win this was my hand
Scyther, ER, SER, sneasel, pluspower,
Erika,steelix
then i gotwith erika Computer search,
lightning energy and bill. This was my luckiest game ever! I Won
4 win 0 loss
Round 5
- psychic deck
i dont
want to bore you so ill be short. I put out jigglypuff and attached lightning
energy. Opponent powers mewtwo promo up with
absorbtion
i evolve
to wiggly add double colorless and then just do the wave for the rest of the
game not really getting damaged thanks to resistance. I win
5 wins 0
loss
Again i
am Not kidding. try it yourself. Im really excited thjat marked my 14th
straight win! I admit that about half of them were very close but i suggest
you try it. Thank you email me at Thrillseeker75@hotmail.com
