************************ hey josh i'm tom nice to meet you. your tips are great tips but not useful to me. i just go by my own rules and pratically win 90 percent of my games but thanks anyway. well here's my deck. i don't see much wrong with it but you might find some bad points. 1scoop ^ 1defender 4bills 2super potions 2regular potions 2oaks 1revive 1comp search 1trader 3machop 2machoke 1machamp 3grolithe 2arcaine 2electabuzzes 1hitmochan 1kanghaskan 1taruros 3colorless 12fighitng 2electric 12fire i can obviously see that i need more electric but i just made this deck last night so piss off! jk um i'm thinking about taking out the whole machop-machoke-machamp evolution. they don't suck but i would rather have say another kanghaskan or a few more electabuzzes and hitmochans. also thiniking about taking out a bill or two. tell me what you think ok? _______________________________________________________________ First of all, not to be defensive, but my tips are for beating pro's, not your neighborhood 8 yr-old or your 6 yr-old brother. But, there is an exception to every rule. Just read "Killer Decks: Rama Llama: Haymaker's Potpourri." This is a deck that defies all laws of randomness. Now, to your deck. 3-color decks are for pro's...see above deck. You definatley need more electric. And people...STOP USING SINGLE BASICS!!!!! A Tauros, a Hitmonchan....NO!!! Especially Hitmonchan. Definatley drop the Machop family. Add more Hit's, Buzz, and maybe a 1 or 2 Khan. What's the deal with the single trainers. The only time I run low trainers is when I have Item Finders, with an s. Not 1, but 2-4. Potions and revive need to be somewhere else, and the lone defender and scoop. Oaks and bills are good, more comp search and traders are also what you need. The rest you can figure out. I'm tired.
