Place: On-Cue(mini media play)

Hola Pojo and Scott, I work at a store that has Pokemon TCGL, which means every saturday for about 5 hours i get to sit down and play pokemon cards. (cool eh). I am relatively new to the game so i came here to see what, type of decks are out there and what was some goos strategy. The Deck I found to the the most proficient was The Viagra deck, it caught my eye due to the name, so i gave it a whirl. It is a variation due to play testing with my brother I found other cards that suit my playing style.

VIAGRA (DIRTY VERSION)

3 Hitmonchans (Great for other Jiggly Wiggly decks)

2 Scythers (Good resistance and no retreat cost)

4 Jigglypuffs (Mr Mime cant touch him)

3 Wigglytuffs (The most hated card at the store I work at)

2 Kangaskhan (Good for stalling and when playing Mewtwo hes a wall)

1 Chansey (He has a good stalling ability lasts long enough to get wiggly out)

1 Ditto (Say goodbye to those Hard hitting pokemon like Articuno)

1 Team Rocket Porygon (Its a cute card and Texture 1 and its other move is Psyshock 20 damage it's neat)

4 Prof Oak (Gets cards into your hand but i never use more than 2 in a match)

4 Bills (they always say 2 cards are better than 1)

3 GOW (All those people pumping up fighting pokemon on there bench now cry)

3 Energy Retrievals (Hey Oak makes you get rid of all your cards)

3 Computer Search (Pick a card any card)

3 Item Finder (I get old cards back)

3 Power Plus (Gives Wiggly enoguh to take out 70 hit points)

2 Scoop up (To retreat kangaskhan like anyone every uses comet punch)

1 Energy Search (So little energy and so little time)

1 Pokemon trader (Who wants 3 stall pokemon in there hand)

1 Lass (I like it when playing team rocket cards)

11 Fighting energies (never ran out)

4 DBC (go wiggly go)

The main point of this deck is to get Hitmonchan powered up, and at the same time get wiggly out there and then start donig the wave untill the other guy cries. I realized that since the new Team Rocket cards are going around in the air, there are alot of pokemon that have 60 hp. Well there is a team rocket gym out there that limits the amount of pokemon on your bench so play wiggly carefully and have lass handy. With this deck you can Oak about 3 times and still not worry about decking out. I added more pokemon to it so I would not mulligan on my first turn.

Since tournements are not aloud, I just played people who challenge me since im the only gym leader that plays.

Match 1 Viagra vs Will and the raindance

Ok this kid is real young but he has some cool cards, most kids think its cool to play them gym leader gives them the pokemon experience or something. This match was going to be easy I thought but i didnt want to hurt his feelings or anything since he is my friend. I start out with a Jigglypuff and Ditto and a DBC. I attached the DBC to ditto for some reason i had a hunch. Next turn I got another one and attached another DBC. During this time Will had got a pokemon breeder and a blastoise and articuno on his bench. Seeing how I had a loaded ditto i scooped up Jiggly. Then Sent out Ditto. Next card was a prof oak. I got a GOW thank god. Brought out Articuno and did his moves until this guy was beat pretty bad. Then i Used item finder and got GOW back out and used Blastoiseto beat him into submission. Good game one day this kid will be great.

Match 2 vs Jeremy and a fighting deck.

This is one of the guys that taught me how to play so it was a big deal for me to go up agaisnt him. He knew i had a wiggly deck so he wanted to use his fighting skills. He had hitmonlee's mostly and some stall pokemon. Since I had like 200 kids come up to me and ask them to stamp there books I did a real terrible job playing letting him get Hitmonchan powered up. He rocked my wiggly. I had to use GOW to get him out there so i could kill him with my back up. This was a real close match. He killed my Ditto, porygon and Kangaskhan and a wiggly to boot. I heal it out using the trainers to keep me up there and I finally one.

Match 3 vs David B and his psyduck deck

This guy is like in his late 30 early 40's he just does it to hang out with his son and stuff but hes a great player he gave me a cool card once. Well He had a deck based on psyduck. So he paralyzed me a whole bunch and used Haunter to make me angry. When he got golduck out I got fearful. I just had to much resistance for him and just destroyed him :) Using Wigglytuff and Hitmonlee to reek havoc on his basic pokemon that never got to evovle vthanks to GOW.

Match 4 vs Nick Lamonds and his Overkill deck (something like that)

I consider this guy to be the best at pokemon league. He taught me tactics in the game and what cards do what and how to use them. His deck had a bunch of team rocket cards specially hitmonlees so i was so worried I had a 21 and 0 streak going there and wanted to keep it. He starts out with a cubone to slow me down well he never realize how good i had become. It was beautifil in a big usage of about 20 cards by turn 2 I had a Wigglytuff out there ready to destroy with a full bench. I GOW out his hitmonchans and killed them. He got one hitmonchan out and did 100 damage to me for the kill. I decided to stall with Scyther, he fought well I learned something to (still dont know if its right or wrong) I turned Hitmonchan to weakness to grass with porygon. Then i brought out Scyther and did slash he said it does not do grass damage since it uses no grass energies I was skeptic but it didnt matter in that time i had gotten another wiggly ready to go. No he used a card i hate i think its callled "small gym" or something like that it limited the amount of cards i could have on my bench. Well i have 3 plus powers in my hand i said, "OK you wanna play tough eh you japanese card gimp" used the PP's to drop him game over I win. First time anyone has ever owned him with that deck. Kinda like Wutang meets Shaolin if i say so myself.
