Hello Pojo. Please Post this in TCG Strategies under Deck Philosophies.

 

I have seen some Jap Cards in the Sets Gym 1, Gym 2, And Neo that are VERY useful for a VERY Good Lockdown Deck. Once I played A guy and he said Thats an Awesome Deck!(In Apprentice, that is) Here's the Deck listing, then the translations, and finally the Strategy.

 

Pokemon(18)

 

4 Erekiddo( This Deck consists of the baby Pokemon and their Baby Pokemon Power, thats why its called Childish Lockdown. Great PokePower! A no lose Power which works on the bench and can damage water type as well!{It doesn't say [Don't Apply Weakness and Resistance for the benched Pokemon]!})

3 Pichu (Just for the lockdownish part, but the attack works SOMETIMES...)

2 Pii (A built in Professor Oak without the Discarding or the Trainer. It is used for the fact that I put Confusion Gym in here)

3 Magmar(fossil) ( Great Lockdown Attack, and good status effects with smog)

3 Gastly(fossil) ( Great Lockdown with chance of Para, Resistance and Free Retreat.)

3 Haunter(fossil, of course) (Very Lockdownish Power and also Attack. Very Solid Pokemon)

Trainers(25)

4 Confusion Gym ( Great Lockdown for Trainers, Awesome Ability to let the opponent use the card instead)

4 Plus Power ( yes I know its alot because of Confuse Gym but use it before putting the gym down)

1 Utsugi ( Great Shuffling Ability, only bad thing is that you can't udr trainers the next turn Thats why 1 was added)

3 Gust Of wind (Great for Bringing that weakling, but Should be reduced to 2 Because Of Confusion Gym)

3 Super Energy Removal (It doesn't matter if you fail the flip, the guys have one energy attacks in this deck(Well a lot of them) and the opponent won;t be able to use it with Confusion Gym on)

4 Energy Removal ( should be changed to 2, your opponent CAN use it against you)

2 Professor Oak ( Use with Caution NEVER use it when Confusion Gym is in play Should be reduced to 1)

3 Bill (Use with Caution as well, your opponent Might get the card advantage instead of you)

9 Fire

9 Psychic

 

Ok Now in order to get the translations of these cards download apprentice and the Poke Patch and go to Deck Editor and look at the Japanese Cards in this Deck To see the Translations. I don't want to make this too lengthy, so thats why I'm telling you to do that. (You must do that if you want to understand this Strategy)

 

Ok the Strategy of this Deck is to put pressure on your opponent with all the babies of the Deck and Magmar And Fossil Haunter and Use Confusion Gym To leave them with a choice: "To play the trainer, or not"? If they get "Tails" They won't be able to use that trainer and you might be able to use it. Careful, though, this trainer can put you in Lockdown which is VERY bad. Use Pii When you can to be used as Oak So you don't waiste all the Discarding when using Oak And failing. This Deck must be used Wisely and with Much thought. Right now the only way to play it Without the translation guides is with Apprentice. (The only downside is the crappy HP for the Baby Pokemon, but since their Standard Baby Rule Says to flip, they'll stay long enough, But maybe not Erekiddo, Since you'll Want to kill the Brat as soon as Possible ;))

 

The Jap Sets bring a LOT of power to The Pokemon TCG, And this Deck is an example of the Power of the Jap Sets. My name is Jake Rosche and email me at ACastrillo@aol.com
