Hello, just wanted to share a 3-card strategy that I don't think has been
brought to light.
Attack and disable from the bench
First card: Neo Genesis Set Elekid
This card is very versatile. It's poke-power:
Playful Punch is just an attack that needs no energy, and you can use it
from the bench. Since it needs no energy to attack, it can be used in almost
any deck.
Second card: Team Rocket Set Drowzee
This Pokemon card is cool for one reason, Long
distance hypnosis. Putting your opponent to sleep, from the bench! And it
doesn't end your turn like the before mentioned card.
But it can also put your active Pokemon to sleep. That's where the third
card comes in.
Third Card: Rocket's Snorlax/ Base Set Chansey
When testing this strategy on an opponent , I used
Rocket's Snorlax. It's power:
Restless sleep let me do even more damage when my opponent attacked me.
Drowzee's Long distance hypnosis is great with this card because it's a good
thing if Rocket's Snorlax falls asleep ("Restless sleep"
only goes into effect when Snorlax is asleep). I did encounter one problem
with this card. Even though
I had four potion/potion-like items and a couple of defenders, Rocket's
Snorlax's 90 HP (good as that is)
couldn't hold up very long against heavy hitting Pokemon. (Rhydon, Jungle set
Raichu etc.)
That's why I also suggest Base Set Chansey for this strategy. It's 120 hp is
an excellent bench guard, especially when you have defenders and potions.
Strategy Perks
This strategy is great if you have pokemon
in your deck that have big attacks
that need time to Draw and attach energy cards. Snorlax/Chansey is an
excellent stall for your opponent
:) . Drowzee and Elekid allow you to Disable then attack your opponent from
the the bench and without
using any energy. Out of all the times I tested this strategy, 2 out of 3
times it was a great defense.
Hope this works out for all you TCG players!-Jared Payne
