SUPER DUPER TRAPPER MANIA Dark/Electric/Grass Toys'r'Us The league = about 20 people. Saturday 22nd September Australia Ramzey F (Krayfesh on Mirc) Pokemon 2 Sneasel (Beat Up Rocks. Main Hitter) 2 Murkrow (Here to Lock in a Cleffa or Mime that's been left in) 2 Pichu (Make them pay for playing Slowking, Unowns, Dark Plume etc.) 2 Scyther (Back Up Hitter. Useful against Fable and Ditto) Trainers 4 Rocket's Sneak Attack (Trapper Time: Part One) 4 The Rocket's Trap (Trapper Time: Part Two) 3 Imposter Oak's Revenge (Trapper Time: Part Three) 3 Lass (If all else fails, Lass will handle them) 4 Professor Oak (This is obvious and requires no writing in brackets) 4 Itemfinder (Get back the Trappers) 4 Computer Search (Low Energy. I need it to grab a needed dark. Also for Oaks as well) 4 Pluspower (Extra 10 Damage) 2 Gust of Wind (Gust them out then Mean Look) 3 Energy Charge (Get back darks and DCE) 2 No Removal Gym (Make them discard, then trap them) 3 Gold Berry (Good for Scyther and Sneasel, but not that good for Murkrow and Pichu) Energy 4 Dark Energy (Sneasel and Murkrow) 4 Double Colourless Energy (Scyther and maybe Pichu if times are hard) 3 Rainbow Energy (Possible Sword's Dance and substitute for dark) 2 Recycle Energy (Energy for Pichu) Obviously the strategy here is to trap them and Beat Up. Use Mean Look on a weak pokemon and destroy the bench. If you can't get the trapper going first turn, then stall with scyther until until the Trappers appear. Contrary to popular belief, a trap on about the 5th turn will cripple your opponent. All my pokemon have free retreat so poison has no use. Anyway onto the matches. =/ Match One - Me vs Little Sister w/ Arcanine, Charizard, Dark Charizard and Dugtrio My sister is 7 and she made this deck herself. Believe it or not here deck does well. Anyway she starts off with a gligar and nothing else while i have scyther with pichu on the bench. She attaches a fighting and poisons me but i retreat and retreat back. I attach a recycle and end my turn. She has nothing but evolutions for some reason and ends her turn. I attach a DCE and slash for the win. Later i looked at her hand and she had : Arcanine, Promo Arcanine, Dugtrio, Charizard, Dark Charizard and 2 Energy Ark. Match 2 - Me vs James w/Sabrina's Alakazam Easiest match of the day here. Sabrinas Abra with synchronize. I have murkrow out and i mean look him. He attaches and passes. I attach a dark and feint attack for the ko. Match 3 - Me vs my other sister w/ Weepinbell Hell She made her deck late so she got stuck with all the crappy trainers like Maintanence. She uses Weepinbel's and so we start and i have Sneasel and she has Jungle Bellsprout. I attack Dark, Trap and then oak. I RSA twice for 2 pokeballs. =/. I attach 4 pluspowers and use fury swipes. 2 Heads and i win. Last Match for the Day - Me vs Lachlan with Slowking, Ditto and HERACROSS!!! Lol! Pichu had an absolute field day. Even though he evolve 3 Slowkings and a ditto and a heracross. I ko'ed The ditto and the Heracross in 3 turns and the Slowkings the next turn. He always failed the Baby Rule so he had 1 last pokemon. Slowpoke. I retreat for a fully charged Sneasel and beat UP with 3 Heads for the Ko and the win. It was a great day and i got enough points to get Promo Mew. I left after the first 45 minute session.5:39 PM 9/25/01 Too bad the league gets shut down next week. My first and last report. Anyway See Ya.
