Subject: Rain - Donphy
Deck
Waz
up rain?
This is one of my favorite decks. It's currently unbeatable. I
modified it for the STS. Tell me what you think. Help me make it better. Its
already strong but I still have my doubts about it. I have alot of cards to work
with, so use your imagination. Heres the deck
Pokemon:22
4
Phanpy
3 Donphan
4 Giovanni's Machop
3 Giovanni's Machoke
3
Giovanni's Machamp
3 Cleffa
1 Pichu
1 Rockets
Hitmonchan
Trainers:18
4 Professor Elm
4 Focus Band
4
Gold Berry
2 Pokemon Breeder Fields
1 Ecogym
1 Giovanni's Last
Resort
1 Balloon Berry
1 Master Ball
Energy:
20
Fighting
So this is the deck that nobody has beaten yet. I think all
great decks
should have a name, but i can't think of one. All my friends say
it's my best
deck; but i think it's the weakest link. Help me make it
better. What do you
think?

Pokimon
Try
to focus on just one evolution line. I suggest cutting the whole Giovanni's
Machop line and base your whole deck on Donphan. Donphan is one of my favorite
decks to play in Modified, although a lot of decks overpower it (Ferligatr,
Typhlosion/Blaine's Arcanine and Crobat). I'm suprised more players at the STS
didn't use this deck because it's pretty good once you get a Chaos out and start
using Rapid Spin over and over. Anyways with the 10 slots from the Giovanni's
Machop line, add the following:
+2 Pichu
+2 Smeargle
+1
Rocket's Hitmochan
+1 Cleffa
+1 Brock's Mankey
Pichu is simply one
of the best cards in this format. It should help you against Typhlosion,
Ferligatr, Erika's Victreebel and other decks that rely on powers. Out of all of
the decks in Modified, Crobat can hurt his deck the most. It has your resistance
and you have its weakness. Smeargle is probably one of the best counters for
Crobat in this particular deck.
Energy
Drop 6 Fighting Energy
and in place of 2 slots toss in 2 Metal Energy ( mainly for Cleffa, Pichu, etc.)
That would give us a total of 7 extra slots. =/
Trainers
Ontop
of the 7 slots, drop: Ecogym, Giovanni's Last Resort, both Breeder Fields, and 2
Gold Berry. That would be...*counts*...13 slots =/
ALL Modified
decks should have atleast 3 Double Gust. It's just as important of
having 3 Gust of Wind in a Standard deck. So go ahead and play 3 of those. When
you continously keep using Rapid Spin and sending Donphan back to the bench,
that's going to become a threat to your opponent. So what are they gonna do?
They're going to do everything in their power to stop the domination (meaning
Double Gust + Typhlosion = Donphan in discard ;O). We can hopefully stop that
with the addition of playing a few Chaos Gym (3 of 'em). A good default gym for
this deck would be Resistance Gym, especially when it brings Crobat's fighting
resistance down by 20. So instead of Rapid Spinning Crobat for 20, you'll hit it
for 40. Not too shabby. Nightly Garbage Run is something you're in need of as
well, so toss two of those in there (good for getting back discarded Cleffa's
and Donphan's). And fill up the last slot with another Master Ball.
The
deck should now look similar to this:
Donphy

Thanks for sending your deck in for me to fix and I hoped my
suggestions helped.
