Hi all you pojo people! I'm on a vacation and in the league I'm going to here, in Coloumbus, Georgia, I checked-out the metagame last week and all the people there were against trainers, LoL! Since I only brought 1 deck with me I changed a little around, like dropping the rocket sneaks and lasses. So here's Piggly Wiggly, version: easy league:
Pokemon:15
4 Jigglypuff(Not bad, pound is a decent attack and he also has good Hp)
3 Wigglytuff(Hmmm.......I don't know why he's here, serious note: He is(or is one of) the quickest attacking pokemon in the game)
3 Scyther(Free retreat is great, but don't power up)
3 Kangaskhan( Fetch!Fetch!Fetch! Ya gotta love him for that)
2 Magmar(Fossil)(his smokescreen attack is a good stalling attack while waiting for The Wave to come around)
Trainers:30
4 Bill
4 Oak
4 PlusPower
3 Computer Search
3 Item finder
3 Gust of Wind
3 Scoop Up
2 SER
2 Challenge
2 Energy Retrieval
Energy:15
11 Fire Energy
4 DCE
15+15+30=60
When I arrived at the league the gym leader said that he had a new promo, the holo Eevee. He told us that today the only way to earn him was to win a tourney he had set up. Since there was soooo many new people this time his brackets didn't work, and in the end he had to make the brackets: people with badges(1) and people with no badges(2). I quickly hurried over and told him my name and which bracket I was in. Armed with my deck and the new green backed card sleeves(mine are always breaking all the time), I awaited my first opponent.
Round #1 Vs. Girl with All the Eevee evoulutions, Clefable and Dragonair
I started with a magmar, 3 Bills, 1 Wigglytuff and 2 GOW. She started with a Clefairy and benched Dratini and Jungle Eevee. She wins the toss, draws, uses sing it fails.. I go, draw an SER use my 3 bills to get no energy! bench a jigglypuff and say go. She plays a water energy on Eevee, Evolves to Clefable, uses smog, no poison. I draw an energy at last, attack to Magmar, use smokescreen. She draws, attaches water energy to Eevee evolves to Veporeon(Sp?), smog fails. I draw a DCE and attach that to jigglypuff and smokescreen. She draws, attaches fire to Veporeon and smogs with no poison. I draw a energy retrival. In those bills I got a scoop up and a challenge(and lots of other junk), I use challenge!, she accepts, We fill our benches, I use SER on Veporeon so she discards 2 water energy, I discard magmar's NRG and scoop magmar up.I send out jigglypuff, I play energy retrival, get fire N! RG back, play it on jigglypuff, e
Round #2 Vs. Boy with Psychic/Fire deck:
In my hand I had a wiggly, jiggly, GOW, DCE, 3 Fire energy. He starts off with a gastly, benches charmander and mew. I win toss, draw NRG(Grrr....) attach DCE to jigglypuff, pound. He retreats, for charmander and scratches. I draw a Challenge!!!! Use it, he accepts. We fill our benches, I attach to jigglypuff, evolve him, Do the Wave to KO charmander. After that Wiggly rampaged 4 cute pokemon without a scratch. His Charmelen came out and used slash. I oaked 3 times for 2 PlusPowers and won!
Round #3 Vs. Boy With.........
Oh man I forgot this match! I remember I challenged with a 2nd turn wiggly and destroyed his pokemon without a scratch.
In between rounds: I had to wait to see who I would face in the finals, their match took 45 mins. Man was I bored.
Round #5(finals) Vs. Venucenter/Raichu deck:
I watched his match before and his deck was pretty good. He started with a Scyther and benched a Ditto. I started with a Jigglypuff while holding NRG and Wigglytuff waiting to be played. I go first, use lullaby, he wakes up after his turn is over, but attached Grass NRG to ditto. I draw DCE, play it, evolve, play down 2 basics, Oak 3 times, Fill up my bench, GOW the Ditto, use 2 PlusPowers to KO it. He sends out scyther benches movie pikachu, attaches to movie pikachu, says go. I Item finder for the PlusPower and KO his Scyther. He draws, says go. I Wave for the win! I won the bracket and 1 Holo Eevee.
Gym Leader than asked me if I wanted to play for the big prize of 2 more Eevees. I say "sure". He tells me I have to play the lower bracket winner. No sweat.
Round #6 Vs. The lower bracket winner with Rain Dance/Raichu deck:
I start with jigglypuff, he starts with squirtle and benches movie pikachu. I go first. Attach DCE to Jigglypuff and oak for 2 plus powers to ko squirtle. Next turn evolve jiggly and oak for 4 pokemon on the bench then I destroy his pikachu for the win!
I hurry over to the GL collect my prize, 2 more Eevees, and was about to leave. Then a girl who is obsessed with Eevees came and said she would trade me anything for one of them. I recived a holo base 1 Blastoise from her for my Eevee. After that everyone was swamping me to trade with them and no one wanted to play me.
So with 2 Eevees 1 Blastoise, the title of best player there and a little more pride, I left.
Props and Slops time:
BIG Props to Wigglytuff for destroying all of my opponents.
Props to Books-A-Million for running a pokemon league
Props to the higher bracket finalist for having the best deck I saw there
Props to Summer!
Props to the girl who gave me the Blastoise for the Promo Eevee
Slops to the gym leader for not stamping my points or not putting them in the right place.
Well if you were wondering, I'm still playing around with this deck and in a harder tourney environment I usually switch 2 SER and 1 Scoop Up for 3 Rocket Sneak Attack.
