Dear PoJo, I would appreciate it if you would post an article in the strategy Section of your page. Thanx. My e-mail is Theace01@excite.com One of the ultimate strategies in the Pokémon TCG is the Damage Swap pokemon power held by Alakazam. This power is great. Along with a few chanseys on the bench, and either Scoop Ups, or Pokemon Center, it can make your deck almost invincible. How, You ask? I'll tell you! Myself, I use a Water/Psychic deck, with the squirtle family, the abra family, and of course, the fun and lovable, yet powerful, Chansey. But, the trainers in this type of deck are a crucial part as well. Generaly, i use 4 Scoops, accompanied by 4 Pokemon Centers. The trick is all in the damage swapping. First, you get a bench full of chanseys (The numerous Computer Searches in my deck Help), and an Alakazam anywhere, either on your bench, or as your active, it doesnt matter. Myself, I like to keep him on the bench, away which can all end the Damage Swap. And Some other card as your active, usually as powerful one. You attack like crazy with the active, and when their turn rolls around, you take the damage, swap it to the chanseys, and your active is still fighting fit. When your chansey's get low on health, you simply Scoop them up, or Pokemon Center... The center gets rid of the counters, and without any counters on your active, you don't have to discard a Thing!! The only True weakness to this deck would be gusts.... If you really want to be safe, add a switch or two, but its not really necessary.... Questions? Comments?
