hello. here's a tournament report from the scottish state championships.
 
Scottish State Championships: Report
Report by PokeGuru
Sunday May 15th 2005
Lion and Dragon Pub, Denny, Scotland
 
Because our State Championships were later than the other UK ones, we had a special rule: no EX:Emerald cards were allowed. I decided to take advantage of that by playing a deck not seen often in our league: DraggyTrode. So, after my pre-tournament burger king, i made my decklist.
 
3 Dratini
2 Dark Dragonair
3 Dark Dragonite
2 Voltorb
2 Dark Electrode
2 Pidgey
1 Pidgeotto
2 Pidgeot
1 Kangaskhan
4 Dunsparce
4 Rare Candy
3 Rocket's Poke Ball
2 Swoop! Teleporter
2 Switch
2 Celio's Network
2 Strength Charm
1 ATM (Rock)
3 Copycat
3 Steven's Advice
1 Prof. Cozmo's Discovery
2 Desert Ruins
1 Lanette's Net Search
2 Rainbow Energy
4 Dark Metal Energy
4 Darkness Energy
4 R Energy
 
I playtest it in a few games beforehand and it does well, so I look forward to the tournament. It's 4 rounds of Age-Modified Swiss to decide who's the champ. Yikes. I play in 11-14, arguably the most competitive division this year. :-\
 
Round 1 vs. Allan (11-14, Poison Death- weird Arbok/Weezing combo)
 
Had to get paired with a friend on Round 1, didn't I? A couple of lone Ekans and a benched Cacnea stand in the way of my Dunsparce. I had a near perfect set-up, only taking 4 turns to get to full power. His last Pokemon was Cacnea, which I thrashed due to Dark D-Nite's Resistance to pick up a good R1 victory.
 
1-0-0
 
Round 2 vs. Alistair (11-14, Blaziken)
 
He failed to get out enough basics in time and started with a lone Moltres ex. After a few turns, he had another pokemon, but it was too late; I was already on a roll and it was a T5 or T6 victory for me. GG.
 
2-0-0
 
Round 3 vs. Ross (10-, Dark D-Nite)
 
Forced to play a 10- as only 2 others have the same record as me. He knew about how good my deck was beforehand as he faced it, so he tried to copy it. He failed though; his set-up was terrible. GG. but improve the start up i.e. ADD DUNSPARCE!
 
3-0-0
 
The only person left with that record was the league leader and, usually, TO. But, he wasn't TOing this time, to my regret...
 
Round 4 vs. Gordon (15+, Birds {Zappy/Moltres})
 
I was lucky as he had a bad start-up. He was starting to catch up when I played a mid-game Desert Ruins. I was doing well, until he plays Rayquaza ex to KO my Dark Dragonite. And that's when it happened. Next turn, I evolve to another Dark Dragonite and move a Darkness Energy from Dark Electrode to Dark Dragonite. Use Pidgeot's Quick Search to find a Darkness or Dark Metal Energy. Attach to Dark Dragonite. Dark Electrode searches for another energy to attach to Dark Dragonite. I was about to attack when he claims he did not see the first energy. Because of that, we all get confused and decide to start again. But we're running low on time, so he offers to ID and I accept. I was tired and could be bothered playing again. We'd both won our age groups anyway, so I wasn't worried.
 
3-1-0
 
So I finish with 3 wins and a draw. I end up winning 11-14. Ross, the 10- I played in Round 3 wins 10- and Gordon wins 15+. EVERYONE in the tournament qualified for the UK Nationals so we're happy about that. Less than 3 weeks till Nationals now; I'll send in the results ASAP afterward. Wish me luck.
 
Props:
PUI for offering such a cool trophy
Gordon for being OK with IDing last match.
Burger King for giving me such a nutritious meal beforehand.
DraggyTrode for doing so well.
 
Slops:
Nothing really.
 
Later, PokeGuru
