Pokemon Tournament Report This was my first tournament in a long time, so I was really looking forward to this one. I decided to play my Wiggly/chansey/rocket’s zapdos deck. I have never been to this place before so I wasn’t really sure what the metagame was. Well here is my deck. J Walkin Wiggly Pokemon: 16 4 Jiggly 4 Wiggly 3 cleffa 2 chansey 2 Rocket’s Zapdos 1 Unown N Trainers: 29 4 Oak 3 Comp search 3 item finder 3 focus band 3 gust 3 super energy removal 2 gold berry 2 rocket’s sneak attack 2 healing field 2 pluspower 2 nightly garbage run Energy: 15 7 Lightning 4 Double 2 Full Heal 1 Recycle 1 metal Format: This was an open fromat tournament. Each battle was 30 minutes. Strategy: Get out Wiggly, Chansey or Rocket’s Zapdos out early and start dealing major damage. Unown N is for chansey and any opponents colorless pokemon. For trainers we have the usual. With the energy I wanted more recycle and metal but I only have one of each =/. Now on to the battles! Battle # 1 vs. kid w/ a fire deck. This didn’t look good for me in the beginning, but I got some lucky flips with healing fields and was able to keep the energy of his holo Ho-ohs before they could do any real damage. In the end I managed to pull of a win w/ wiggly. Battle # 2 vs. ??????????????????? Im sorry but I am completely drawing a blank on this game! Battle # 3 vs. Flea from PokemonAAAH.com w/ like the same deck as me This was an interesting battle. The only difference between our decks are that I played chansey and he played sneasel and electabuzz as back-up hitters. I got out wiggly early and Unown N kinda did him in. I got lucky and got the pluspowers at the right time, So I was able to KO his Rocket’s Zapdos and electabuzz’s easily. Battle # 4 vs. kid w/ a houndoom deck. I felt really bad this game, this was the first game of the quarter-finals were the format turned to single elimination. I started w/ a chansey and he started w/ a houndour. Fist turn attack a double, scrunch tails. He goes attaches a fire to houndour and attacks me for 10 and poison. Next turn I attach a double, then used double edge for a second turn KO. Battle # 5 vs. the gym leader w/ typhlosion/ninetails deck This battle I knew I was in for a tough one. After loosing to a typhlosion at my local league I wasn’t to keen on this game. He got out 2 Typhlo’s early and got a ninetails going. I was able to KO ninetails, but then I couldn’t stand up tp multiple typhlo’s. So I lost which eliminated me from the Tourny. Good game! Anyway I came in 3rd out of about 25 people. I don’t think that is so bad. Now for props and slops.
