Tyranitar Removal Deck by Michael Reynolds Pullen Community Center Raleigh, NC WCSTS QT Saturday, 9/29/2001 30 Participants I decided to add a twist to my deck that I used at the Roanoke QT to see how it would do at this QT. The main idea is to have the ability to remove rare energies (Metal, Darkness) but also be able to deliver serious damage. Pokemon ------- 2 Unown D 1 Magby 2 Igglybuff 2 Misty's Psyduck 2 Misty's Golduck 3 Misty's Poliwag 2 Misty's Poliwhirl 3 Larvitar 3 Pupitar 3 Tyranitar 3 Cleffa Total - 26 Trainers -------- 2 Professor Elm 2 Master Ball 2 Mary 3 Gold Berry 3 Nightly Garbage Run 3 Cerulean City Gym Total - 15 Energy ------ 4 Rainbow 4 Darkness 11 Water Total - 20 Round 1 vs Steelix/Slowking/R.Zapdos I got my Tyranitar powered up but he got his Steelix powered up with 3 metals. I was able to damage to him but because I did not have Unown D out I did damage to my bench too. 0-1 Round 2 vs Tyranitar/Kabutops/Brocks Ninetails We both had cleffa out and kept eeeeking until we got our Tyranitars powered up. She powered up first but did not attack with it. I then used "Gaze" on my next turn to shut off Ninetails power. I kept attacking with "Slam" until I knocked out all her Pokemon. 1-1 Round 3 vs R.Zapdos/Croconaw/Mistys Poliwhirl This looked like my first battle against a Fer deck !!! She used 2 Zapdos and 1 Croconaw to attack me. I used Mistys Poliwhirl to attack. I knocked out 1 Zapdos with Poliwhirl. I then did 50 damage to Croconaw before she knocked out Poliwhirl. She retreated for the other Zapdos and did "Plasma" against my fully powered Tyranitar. I then did "Trample" and knocked out Zapdos and Croconaw. She then brought Mareep and evolved into Flaffy. Next turn I knocked our Flaffy for the game. I never did see a Feraligatr. 2-1 Round 4 vs Feraligatr I got Poliwag and put a Rainbow energy on it. I tried to "Hypnotic Stare" against Elekid...tails. He then did "Playful Punch"...heads and 20 damage. I put a water on Poliwag and did "Tail Rap"...tails again. He attacks with Elekid...Heads and game. 2-2 Round 5 vs Victreebel/Umbreon He started with Discovery Eevee. He put a Rainbow energy and flipped tails. He then attacked with "Smash" against my Poliwag. I put an energy and paralyzed him with "Hypnotic Stare". He never got his pokemon powered, including Holo Umbreon. I got my Tyranitar powered and used "Slam" because I did not have Unown D on my bench. I just kept knocking out his pokemon with this attack. 3-2 This was the last round before the Final 8. I was very nervous because I didn't think I would make the Top 8 with so many good players. They first announce the people who lost the tiebreaker for 8th...my name does not come up...Then they start announcing the Top 8 from the bottom. Seventh is...Michael Reynolds !!! Yeah I make the Top 8 again !!! Final 8 vs Feraligatr Oh no...not another Fer deck. I lost to this kid at Roanoke. I got Tyranitar powered up but he had Croconaw powered up. I attacked his Croconaw with "Slam" and 2 Dark but I only flipped one heads... 50 damage. Next turn he evolves into Feraligatr and knocks out my Tyranitar with "Riptide". He then knocks out my Cleffa for the game. 3-3 I got 18 booster packs of Neo Discovery and a Pokemon Deck Box !!! Props ----- To everybody I played and who played in the tourney. the QT. To Wizards for holding the QT in Raleigh, NC. To Games Galore for giving out "extra" prizes. To Michael Barlock for going 5-0 in the swiss rounds. Slops ----- None.
