The Stategy Well, first let me say this is an awsome deck! It's gotten me first place twice in a row now! I hope you like this report, I made it into a real eyecatcher. Anyway, the deck is pretty strait forward. You try to get a lapras out (articuno can also work sometimes) and use watergun and confuse ray to stall while you are building up energy on your jigglypuff (let's assume you have a jiggly, arti, and squirtle on your bench) don't bother with the arti and squirtle because you can always raindance them. Try to use a computer search-oak combo by computer searching for something you need (say a pluspower or a wigglytuff or a squirtle) an put it down, then professor oak. Always make sure that if you have a computer search and 3 or less cards in your hand to always search for an oak. Try to use arti and wigglytuff as your two main attack pokemon, because you probably want to keep blastoise on the bench because if you lose him, you lose raindance. When using articuno and the opponent has more than 50 hp, don't use blizzard, use freeze dry so they probably won't be able to move next turn. And finally if you get a bad starting hand with say squirtle and puff, always put puff out and start singing so you can stall until you get some good cards. I hope you enjoy this deck, took me a while to get it ready. The Report The tourny was at a comic store, in Olympia Washington on Saterday the 18th of December. I dominate it every week with my haymakers and haymaker accesseries :) but today I wanted to try something different, so I created hydrowave. Round 1 vs a lighting deck (yikes!) This kid was too confident. I started with a mullagin and got out a squirtle. He got 2 electas and a pikachu jungle on his bench. I went first and drew a blastoise, I already had a pokemon breeder in my hand so woohoo! I bubbled and para. Next turn I drew an arti, retreated my squirtle, evolved, and oaked. From there on I started wooping him with my articuno. When he finally knocked that out I started attacking with my wigglytuff. He couldn't believe he lost and claimed that I cheated by only laying down 4 prizes (hah!> 1-0 Round 2 vs a fire blast deck (I think) squirtle+3 oaks for 4 pluspowers total 1st turn kod his vulpix, sorry man. 2-0 Round 3 vs a stall deck It started out really bad for him, then he evolved an abra and started swapping with his mime for a while, but I eventually won using lapras and some heavy wigglytuffing. This match was kind of a dissapointment because before I could beat him he said that he was tired and conceded :( 3-0 Round 4 vs a haymaker varient This kid had been trying to copy my haymakers for a while. I didn't expect any trouble. He came out blasting with a hitmonchan but by articuno soon made short work of it. The he started thunderpunching with his electabuzz and I was just about to kill it when he decided he would start stalling me. He started using scoop ups and scythers and item finding for scoop ups. It got really boaring. At the end of the half hour I had about 7 cards left in my library and 1 prize left. He had 4 prizes left and since I was ahead I won. 4-0 Round 5 vs a clefable deck Basically we battled until it was down to 1 prize to 1 prize and then I blizzarded his active ditto, knocking it out and getting heads thus knocking out 3 other pokemon on his bench. I hate decks that make those kind of pokemon do their dirty work using your own cards. 5-0 Round 6 vs a really hard haymaker This was a really hard match. He started out with hitmonchan and I started out with jigglypuff. I got really lucky first turn with sing, after he flipped tails at the begining of his turn he told me that I was really lucky because he had a fighting energy in his hand and 2 pluspowers. I finally got wigglytuff out and then oaked a couple times to get my bench full. I started waving him and beat him by 2 prizes. 6-0 Round 7 vs a tauros/dragonair deck I think...... This was a really wierd deck. He was using tauros/dragonite/machoke evolution and hardly got any energy the whole game. This match was really really really easy because I just kept taking out his tauroses with do the wave. It did get scary at the end though because he started doing a succesful stall maneuver on me. 7-0 Round 8, BYE 8-0 Finals! First finals round vs the kid with the stall deck First turn jiggly+dce+pluspower killed his abra. What else can I say? FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP! I played against someone using a gengar/mr mime deck. This was the toughest round I had yet because he kept bringing out gengar and doing 30 damage then bringing out mime and ko. I decked him because he used about 4 oaks and bill and if you count item finders about 6 oaks and 5 bills. I WIN THE TOURNY! I got 50.00 store credit which I used to buy a computer pass and booster packs. This was a really good tourny. WELL THANKS FOR READING MY REPORT!
