<DIV>Hey all! Time for a deck fix!</DIV>
<DIV>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</DIV>
<DIV>Hi, Satoshi</DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to post a deck,i've used it 5 times.</DIV>
<DIV>And lost only two times, because of water decks.</DIV>
<DIV>Do you know a defense for water decks</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>( Pokemon 18 )</DIV>
<DIV>3. Houndour&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1 Fire&nbsp; 2 Dark)</DIV>
<DIV>3. Houndoom</DIV>
<DIV>2. Sneasel</DIV>
<DIV>1. Eevee (Promo)</DIV>
<DIV>1. Umbreon&nbsp; (Feint Attack)</DIV>
<DIV>1. Charmander&nbsp;&nbsp; (Base)</DIV>
<DIV>1. Charmeleon&nbsp;&nbsp; (Base)</DIV>
<DIV>1. Charizard&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Base)</DIV>
<DIV>1. Entei (Promo)</DIV>
<DIV>2. Growlithe&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Base)</DIV>
<DIV>2. Arcanine&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Base)</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>( Energy 21 )</DIV>
<DIV>2. Dark</DIV>
<DIV>4. DCE</DIV>
<DIV>2. FHE</DIV>
<DIV>1. PE</DIV>
<DIV>12. Fire</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>( Trainers 21 )</DIV>
<DIV>2. Ecogym</DIV>
<DIV>1. SER</DIV>
<DIV>1. Narrow Gym</DIV>
<DIV>1. Sabrina's Gaze</DIV>
<DIV>2. Lt.Surge's Treaty</DIV>
<DIV>4. Gold Berry</DIV>
<DIV>4. Berry</DIV>
<DIV>1. New Pokedex</DIV>
<DIV>1. Misty's Duel</DIV>
<DIV>2. Secret Mission</DIV>
<DIV>1. Energy Retrieval</DIV>
<DIV>1. Energy Removal</DIV>
<DIV>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</DIV>
<DIV>Oh boy... &gt;_&lt;</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Okay, first off, the Pokémon. Ditch the following: 
Charmander/Meleon/Zard,</DIV>
<DIV>Growlithe and Arcanine, Eevee and Umbreon, and the Entei. This gives us 
10</DIV>
<DIV>spaces to work with. I like the inclusion of the Houndoom family, and 3-3 
is</DIV>
<DIV>a solid line. We're also leaving the Sneasel not as the core of the 
deck,</DIV>
<DIV>but as an eary game hitter/backup deal. Okay, let's add in three 
Blaine's</DIV>
<DIV>Vulpix lv18 and three Blaine's Ninetales as well. Usually I wouldn't</DIV>
<DIV>recommend two evolution lines in a deck, but these guys work well 
together,</DIV>
<DIV>imo. Blaine's Ninetales can be fully pumped by turn two, giving you 
plenty</DIV>
<DIV>of time to charge up Houndoom on the bench while you beat 'em silly 
with</DIV>
<DIV>everyone's favorite fox. With the remaining four spaces, let's add in 
three</DIV>
<DIV>Fossil Magmar and one Blaine's Charmader lv...uhm, the level escapes me 
at</DIV>
<DIV>the moment, but I'm talking about the energy removing "Kindle" version. 
With</DIV>
<DIV>a Fire and Recycle Energy on this guy, he's a force to be reckoned 
with.</DIV>
<DIV>That should do it for the Pokémon:</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Pokémon: 18</DIV>
<DIV>3 Houndour (1 Fire, 2 Dark)</DIV>
<DIV>3 Houndoom</DIV>
<DIV>3 Blaine's Vulpix lv18</DIV>
<DIV>3 Blaine's Ninetales</DIV>
<DIV>3 Magmar (f)</DIV>
<DIV>2 Sneasel</DIV>
<DIV>1 Blaine's Charmander</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Moving on to the trainers now. First we're gonna work out the "Bare</DIV>
<DIV>Essentials"-that is, the inclusion of Oak, CPU Search, and 
Itemfinder.</DIV>
<DIV>Unless it's under a certain format, every deck should at least include 
a</DIV>
<DIV>3-3-3 'line' on these three cards, imo. So, let's remove the New 
Pokédex,</DIV>
<DIV>Misty's Duel, 2 Secret Mission, Energy Removal, Energy Retrieval, all 
four</DIV>
<DIV>Berry, and the two Lt. Surge's treaty for 4 Professor Oak, 4 Computer</DIV>
<DIV>Search, and 4 Itemfinder. Next, you asked for protection against 
water.</DIV>
<DIV>Well, with Blaine's pokémon in this deck, I think I have one. Take out 
the</DIV>
<DIV>two Ecogym for two Cinnibar City Gym, which offers a fairly good 
insurance</DIV>
<DIV>policy for fire types. Next, let's remove a Gold Berry for a single Gust 
of</DIV>
<DIV>Wind. What was once a "mandatory three" card can now pull its weight at 
but</DIV>
<DIV>one. Let's also remove the Full Heal Energy and the Potion Energy for 
2</DIV>
<DIV>Misty's Wrath and a single Nightly Garbage Run. Finally, take out the 
Narrow</DIV>
<DIV>Gym, Sabrina's Gaze, and SER for three Blaine, a must for Blaine's</DIV>
<DIV>Ninetales. That'll do it for the Trainers:</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Trainers: 24</DIV>
<DIV>4 Professor Oak</DIV>
<DIV>4 Computer Search</DIV>
<DIV>4 Itemfinder</DIV>
<DIV>3 Gold Berry</DIV>
<DIV>3 Blaine</DIV>
<DIV>2 Cinnibar City Gym</DIV>
<DIV>2 Misty's Wrath</DIV>
<DIV>1 Nightly Garbage Run</DIV>
<DIV>1 Gust of Wind</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Now, the Energy. As of now, we have 4 DCE, 12 Fire Energy, and 2 Dark</DIV>
<DIV>Energy. Let's take a DCE and a Fire Energy for two more Dark Energy. 
My,</DIV>
<DIV>that was quick. ;) The Energy now looks like this:</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Energy: 18</DIV>
<DIV>11 Fire Energy</DIV>
<DIV>4 Dark Energy</DIV>
<DIV>3 Double Colorless Energy</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Okay, we're done here. Enjoy your newly revised "Ultimate Flame" deck. 
Good</DIV>
<DIV>luck and happy gaming!!</DIV>
