*****ANTI-RAINDANCE*****

Me & my fellow members of Stockton's Team Rocket ( Ricky & Billy ) play at the pokemon league at Toys R' Us in Stockton. Every time we go we battle about 4 different people with a raindance deck. We're good players but we were really sick of people killin' all our pokemon because the "only 1 energy per turn" rule doesn't apply to them. So I decided to piss everyone off by makin' a deck just to kick Blastoise's big shell, thus ANTI-RAINDANCE was born. Anti-raindance ( aka squitle killer ) was specifically designed prevent Blastoise from even comin' out, then while they're left with high cost attacks & only 1 energy per turn, E.R. & super E.R. all their energy away. & boy, do they get mad!!!!!>:^ (ha,ha) now on to the deck.

4 - Electabuzz ( high HP attack low energy cost, our main attacker)

4 - Fossil Zapdos ( Me like thunderstorm, it hit bench hard )

4 - Aerodactyl ( two words "ANTI-EVOLUTION" )

4- Computer Search ( to help get Aero out as fast as possible )

4- Oak ( Same idea )

4- Mysterious Fossil ( can't have Aero without it )

4- Energy Removal ( Anti-raindance's best friend, after all the oakin' you'll have a lot of 'em )

4- Super Energy Removal ( Super good for annoyin' Articunos )

The rest of it is energy

26- Lightning energy

***** The Battles ******

Battle 1 Me VS. guy with Raindance( big suprise )

Our Team Rocket went to Toys R Us in Stockton, CA on april 11, so we can beat the snot out of everyone with our new deck. This battle was a fast one the guy had a lone seel, against Electabuzz & Zapdos on bench. I won the flip ( bad for this guy ),so I plopped an energy on Electa & Thundershocked for 20HP, not paralyzed. He put a water energy on seel & headbutted for 10HP. Then I put another energy on Electa & Thunderpunched for the kill. & such I was in a good mood I said if there was a Basic on the top of the deck I would let him play on. There wasn't. Too bad, sucks for him.

Battle 2 Me Vs. Dave with Psy deck

This battle was more interesting than the last. You could tell he was over confident that he would be winnin'. He had chansey & abra on bench & another chansey up to attack. Me with Zapdos, a fossil & oak. I knew he was going to try to get alakazam so he could swap damage from a Movie mew2 to Chansey or somethin'. So I put a stop to it. Put a energy on Zap & oaked. Put down Another Zap & Aero in my hand. Than I passed. He put an energy on Chansey, then passed. Then he realized I had a fossil on my bench, too late though. I put down Aero & the game was mine. Pretty much, what happened was he double-egged himself to death.

Battle 3 ( last battle ) Me VS. guy with really good Raindance deck

This had to be the best Raindance deck I've ever seen. He put down Blatoise on his 2nd turn with pokemon Breeder. I was shocked. Than I swiched to plan B,"E.R. all pokemon & knock as many out with thunderstorm as possible". So thats what I did I oaked 2 or 3 times, E.R.in' on the way. & thunderstormin' . But he keeped on playin' pokemon center & super potion. Then it hit me this Wasn't Raindance at all it was a dressed up stall deck & it was workin', I'd all ready gone Through 3/4 of my deck. I was in trouble. Somewhere along the line he ran out of stallin' trainers. & I was able to knock a couple out do to weakness. Down to Electabuzz with 30HP left , & him with Garados 100HP left. ONE prize for each of us. My turn, I thudershocked for 20HP( 80HP left ) PARILYZED.( Thank God ) He drew his card & passed. Than I drew Yes, another energy. I put it on Electabuzz & thunderpunched. I fliped the coin. My palms were all sweaty. I was so nerves I was going to puke. HEADS!!!!!! I couldn't beleive I won. He was shocked too. "That was the best, most intense game I ever played" were his exact words.YESSSSS!!!! Than he let me into his secrete, how to make Mega Raindance stall. I promised him that I wouldn't let anyone else get the instructions on how to build one, sorry.

Feelin' good about the game I retired for the day & went to Maxamum Sports to go buy a booster or too. I bought 1 base & got a lass, CHEAP. Than I bought a Jap Team Rocket booster & got..... HERE COME THE ROCKETS!!!!!!

**** helpfull tips on Playin' Anti-Raindance****

* Try to get Aero out as fast as possible

* don't be scared to use Thunderstorm thats what its there for.

* keep Aero on bench if at all possible( if he gets confused K.O.ed or put to sleep ) they can evolve any pokemon they like.

Dont put these in a ANTI-RAINDANCE deck

Scyther- sorry no scythers we need all electic pokmon for weakness( exept Aero

Magmars- I know everyone loves to team magmar with electabuzz, but if you are against a raindance, magmars weak against water, DUH.

Bass set Zapdos- don't waste your $money$ on it any unevolved water pokemon will die just fine with thunderstorm. But if you want to waste your $money$ or if you alreadly have one, by all means ... BE STUPID. the non-foil fossil Zapdos is just as good, you don't have to give it any special treat meant because its not a foil, & its about ....A Zillion $dollars$ cheaper, you idiot!!!

No Jigglys &/or Wiggleys- sorry we want weaknesses, weaknesses people get it right.

things you can put in that I didn't

De-evolution spary- I know your ganna kill me for this one but say you didn't get your Aero out fast enough, & he got out Blastoise try & get Aero out on your next turn then de-evolution it & poff, he has a blastoise in his hand he can't use. OR, you can do something like get a garados up to at least 30HP & de-evolution it & Shazami, Magikarp is knocked out without wasteing your turn. Never thought of that before didya.

chansey- every deck could use a good stall, just don't put too many in. Its got no backin' like Alakazam. It'll double-egge itself to death.
