Here's my games
#1 Me vs. Water/Fighting
I thought it would be an easy game, because I was his weakness. My
starting hand consisted of a Mr. Mime, Energy and some trainers. My
opponent started with a Articono. I won thew flip and gave Mime an
energy. He gave Articono an energy. I gave Mime another and used
meditate. He gave Articono a second energy. I gave Mime another Energy
and used Super Energy Removal
on Articono. Than I used Meditate again. He gave his Hitmonlee an Energy.
I piked a Jungle Pikachu and gave him an energy and meditated for the
KO. Then he sent out a Geodude and Gave him an Energy. I gave my Pikachu
a second Energy and Meditated the Geodude for 10. Then, he gave Geodude
a second Energy and used rock barrage for 10. I got an
Electabuzz and
gave him an
energy. Then I meditated for 20. His Geodude used rock barrage for 40,
but Mr. Mime blocked it. I meditated for 40 and the KO. Than he sent out
a no energy Ditto. I did 20, because of weakness. Then he did
nothing,
and I retreated the Mime for a Pikachu. I killed the Ditto for my third
prise and did 10 to his Hitmonlee. He sent out a Kangashkahn, and
revived his Ditto and Geodude. I used Spark on Kangashkahn and did 10 to
the Geodude, who now has 30 damage.
He gave kahn a Defender, so all I did was 10 to the Geodude. His kahn
used fetch, and I did 20 to it and knocked out the Geodude for my 4th
prise. He then Super Potioned his kahn, and I sparked his Ditto and
kahn. He did nothing, and I sparked his ditto again. He did nothing (he
had an energy shortage) and I sparked, KOing Ditto. Next turn, I
retreated, brought out a powered Scyther and KOed Kangashkahn.
Game #2 Me vs. Psy/Fighting Haymaker.
I started with a Ghastly, vs. his Farfetch'd. I went first, did 10, but
no paralyzing. He used Leek Slap, and flipped Heads. I picked a
Gengar,
and I had a Haunter and Ghastly in my hand, so I played the Ghastly and
gave him an energy. Meanwhile, my Ghastly licked again, and got a heads.
I evolved Ghastly, and gave him another energy, while my ghastly licked,
and got heads again. I evolved my haunter, used Curse to move a damage
counter off of Farfetch'd, retreated Ghastly
for free and used Dark Mind to KO Farfetch'd, and put a counter on
another Farfetch'd. He played down 2 more Farfetch'd, and sent out the
damaged one with an energy. He flipped heads and did 30 to my Gengar.
Then, I moved a counter on to his Farfetch'd and KOed it with a Dark
Mind. He sent out a Farfetch'd with 10 damage, and used Leek slap for a
tails. Gengar used Dark Mind, and 10 to a Jynx, and it was 1 turn away
from being able to 1 hit KO all his Pokemon.
Than, he retreated, sent out another Farfetch'd with 2 Plus powers and
flipped a ......Heads! Nooooo, my plan was ruined. He fainted my Gengar
on the next turn, I sent out my Damaged Ghastly, evolved him to Haunter,
and used Nightmare. His Farfetch'd kept getting put to sleep until he
was knocked out. I had 2 Prizes left. He sent out a Jynx, so I did
Nightmare. Next turn, I bout out a Scyther, and used Slash, so that Jynx
has 20 HP left. Next, I sent out my Pikachu, KOed Jynx and his benched
Farfetch'd, and won the game.
Game #3 Me vs. Psy/Fighting Haymaker
He started with a Hitmonlee, and I started with a Ghastly. I went first,
and licked his Lee for 20. He Oaked, and got a Jynx and a Farfetch'd. I
licked him 2 more times for the KO. I got another Ghastly. He sent out
his Farfetch'd, and gusted out my other Ghastly and Pot Smashed him with
2 Plus Powers for the KO. I Oaked, and got a Haunter and a Ghastly.
I
sent out my Electabuzz, and Thundershocked his Farfetch'd for 20 +
paralyzing. I also evolved my Ghastly. He did nothing, so I evolved my
Haunter, and used Curse to move 10 damage to Jynx. Than I
thunderpuched his Farfetch'd, and KOed it. He sent out his Jynx, so I
used Thunderpunch again for 40. He Super Potioned, but I brought out my
Gengar, and KOed the Jynx with a Dark Mind, and he had no more Basics so
I won.
Game #4 Me vs. Fire/Water Turbo Wigglytuff
At the beginning, he had a Magmar vs. my Ghastly. On my turn, I gave
Ghastly an energy, and used Lick, with a tails. He picked a Jigglypuff,
and left Magmar out. Then, I gave my benched Farfetch'd an energy, and
retreated Ghastly for free, and used Leek Slap and flipped a heads. Then
he played a Lapras and a Magmar on his bench. I gave Farfetch'd a DCE,
played a Scyther on my bench, and Pot Smashed for a prise. He sent out a
Jiggly, gave it an energy and Lullabied, but I woke up. I Pot Smashed
for 30 and gave Scyther a Psychic Energy. He Lullabied
but I woke up, gave Scyther a DCE, and Pot Smashed for another prise.
He sent out a Magmar with no energy, so I Smashed him for 30. He did
nothing, so I played a Promo Pikachu, gave it an energy and used Pot
Smash again. He gave his benched Jiggly an energy, and I gave Pika
another energy and Smashed for the KO. He sent out a Jiggly with no
energy, and I retreated Farfetch'd, and sent out Scyther and Slashed for
30. He gave the Benched Jiggly another Energy, while I Slashed the
Jiggly into oblivion. He sent out a Magmar, and Smokescreened for 20.
I
retreated Scyther, sent out Pika, and Thundershocked for 20 but no
Paralyzation. He smokescreened, while I failed a Thundershock. He
retreated, sent out a Wigglytuff and he KOed my Pikachu. I sent out the
Scyther and did 30, while he Did the Wave for 40. I retreated, sent out
Farfetch'd and Smashed for 30 more. He did the Wave, and I KOed it for
my 6th prise.
I had a total record of 7-1, with my loss coming from the Wiggly deck. I
didn't remeber the rest of the matches. If you have any questions you
