Today there were alot of newbies so I decided to use a new deck called
toxic. I got sick of all the sponge decks,haymakers, and teamrockets low hp
pokemon so I made this to combat all of them. The strategy is to stall with
Kangaskhan or scyther while loading up Nidoking and take out all of there
weaklings. Super energy removal really helps to screw my opponent while
they are dying of poison. The winner was decided by who had the most points
after 2 hours of battling. The winner got a base 2 booster and a japanese
booster of there choice. Well here's my report.


(ENERGY)

17 grass
4 DC

(TRAINERS)

2 GOW
3 pokemon breeder
4 super energy removal
4 oak
2 switch
2 scoop up
2 NGR
3 com.search
1 item finder

(POKEMON)

3 nidoking
1 nidorino
4 nidoran
4 scyther
4 kangaskhan
