Subject: Zapdos, Dark Dragonite, and Gengar, Oh My!!!!!

Blastoise!

Gotta make this quick. Satoshi went out for groceries half and hour ago and
said he wanted a fix done when he got back. He should be here any minute,
and I just woke up. =/!

This deck was inspired when I got my Dark Dragonite, but I've been wrestling
with the idea for a while. The Idea was to fill my deck with pokemon . . .
with no weaknesses!!!!!! I haven't developed a strategy for playing the deck
(I can't get the last Dark Dragonair) but I was trying to focus on defense
with cards such as potion and Moo Moo Milk. I always use the same ratio for
pokémon(p)-trainers(t)-and energy(e). p=20-t=15-e=25.

Pokemon (20)

1 Zapdos (base)
1 Zapdos (promo #23)

2 Dark Dragonair (Rocket)
1 Dark Dragonite (Rocket)
3 Gastly (fossil)
1 Haunter (base)
1 Haunter (fossil)

Hmm...well, lots to work with right now. :\ Let's get to work!

Pokemon (20)
1 Zapdos (base)
1 Zapdos (promo #23)
2 Zapdos (fossil)
2 Cleffa (Neo 1)
1 Dratini (Rocket)
3 Dratini (Base)
1 Dragonair (Base)
2 Dark Dragonair (Rocket)
1 Dark Dragonite (Rocket)
3 Gastly (fossil)
1 Haunter (base)
1 Haunter (fossil)
1 Gengar (fossil)

Argh. WAY too many singles, man. Let's narrow the field down a bit by
focusing on one evolution family with some backup. We'll work with the
dragon family since it seems to be the best rounded Pokémon line here. First
off, get a third Dark Dragonair, as two is just not good enough. Drop the
regular Dragonair to find room. Next, drop both Haunters to add in two more
Dark Dragonite. Next, drop the Gastly and the Gengar for 4 Rocket expansion
Abra, and turn three of the Zapdos into Dark Kadabra and use the fourth for
a third Cleffa. This gives us a nice Dark-pokémon deck, and makes it
perfectly able to abuse everyone's favorite energy card - Darkness Energy.
;D

Trainers(15)
1 Healing Field
2 GoW
1 Rocket's Secret Experiment
2 Moo Moo Milk
1 ER
2 Balloon Berry
1 Professer Elm
3 Potion

Alright, first things first. Kill the Rocket's Secret Experiment, Moo Moo
Milk, and the lone ER for 4 Professor Oak. Next, kill the Potions for three
Itemfinder and drop the Balloon Berries and two Rainbow Energy for four
Computer Search. IMO, every Unlimited deck should contain these three cards,
as they're just too good. And guess what? Since we no longer play _any_
Lighting Pokémon, we've got 11 free Trainer spaces to throw around! Don't we
feel lucky? ;D Let's start by adding in 2 Rocket's Hideout to help with that
AWFUL Rocket Pokémon HP issue, and follow up with 3 Super Energy Removal to
keep up that defensive strategy you were talking about - heh, so now it's
defensive/disruptive, sue me. =P
Let's also add in three Gold Berry and another Professor Elm, leaving us
with 2 spaces for the Energy.

Energy (12)
1 DCE
11 Psychic

Alright, we've got two spaces extra. Add in two more DCE for the Dratini
family to even us out at 60. Next, drop 3 Psychic to pop in three Darkness
Energy to give us a nice power bonus. We're done! ;D

Ack! And just in time, too. Satoshi's pulling into the driveway. Bye all!

...

Pojo at the West Coast Stadium Challenge this weekend, so keep an eye out
