Subject: Deck Fix from Jeremy Borchardt - ''Steel, Fight, 'n Psy''

My name is Mikker at the board. I am a great veteran at pokémon, even trught they hated my deck at the forum.

Thats why i ask a REAL veteran! :-)

At the last STSQT, i came 4th place. At the last again, i had a baad day, and lost half of my matches. At the thirth last, (and first for me) i came 7th plece, and that was BEFORE neo set! I know i missed a few STS'.

Yeah, a´s you are going to see, i only use a FEW trainers (18). Thats why i  have seen alot of other decks with more then 30. That too much, if you only have less then 10 pokémon. And less then 15 energys.

I call my deck: ''Steel, Fight, 'n Psy''

24 (25)

4 Onix
3 Steelix
4 Slowpoke
3 Slowking
3 Phanpy
3 Donphan
3 Cleffa
2 Woober (for big-fires)

18 Trainers

4 Pokémon Breeding Fields
4 Professor Elm
4 Gold Barry
3 Energy Charge
3 Bill's Teleporter

19 energys

4 Metal Energy
8 Fighting Energy
7 Psytic Energy


This deck is not based on Steelix. neither on Slowking. Or Donphan. But on all 3. The reason i use Wooper, is that without, i had nothing real on fire type. I have adventage of most types.

Combo: Donphan+Cleffa= 50+retreat to safe

(62) please guys check your numbers before you send them to me!

Sorry for the lack of updates I have had other thing to do and I have started to play Magic so learning the rules has taken a lot of time.

Well, I have been playing Donfan for a while a great combo over looked by most players.
I like to combo it with things this looks like a fun combo here.
My favorite Combo is with Erika's Victreebel So I hide behind babies and they can't.

Pokemon

The lines need a bit of work The Steelix line can work fire with just a 2/2 line.
The Slowkings should be maxed out.
The Donfans should be able do kill big fire fine without Wooper so drop them for Tyrogues so you can kill babies without giving up you baby power.
Max out the Cleffas.

Lets be honest in most decks Bills telleporter is trash, and you can drop the Energy Charge
Add for Focus Bands to protect your Babies. Add one Nightly Garbage run and one Warp Point.
Well, we have no gyms but this should work fine with any gym in play.
