Okay, lets say your opponent has only
1 more prize left (which happens countless times!...)You still
have to get 6 prizes. HERE'S THE PROBLEM! PEOPLE GIVE UP!!!!
NEVEEEEERRRRRR GIVE UP!!!!! Problem #2: Usually people get worried
and start sending out there "BEST" Monsters. When this happens,
you won't worry about strategy...You'll just Attack!!!! (I've seen
it countless times!!!)Then
your OPPONENT WILL CREAM YOU!!!! (Again, I've seen it countless
times.) Problem #2.5: Before you get creamed, you get worried.
Your opponent realizes it, so s/he grows more confident!
Then....Problem #3: you get creamed. How can this be prevented?
Well, you still might loose, but you can still put up a good
fight. HOW??? Easy.
Take a deep breath...count to
ten...then try to feel more confidant about your self. Now, ponder
a strategy (who is your opponents active pokemon? What is its
attacks? What is its HP? Weakness? Resistance? Retreat? How many
Energies does s/he have? What about active Trainer cards? Now,
what is your pokemon? compare all of your opponents attacks and
abilities etc., then what is in your hand? Now, try to think what
will happen with each move you can make? Is your benched pokemon
fully equipped? Your opponents?) Finally, act. Use your strategy
and you just might win. And if you don't, then you can still feel
proud about yourself that you did a great job of fighting.
