>> How It Works
>> The deck's purpose is to draw insane amount of energy removals using
Bill,
>> Kangaskhan, and the ever effective Professor Oak. While keeping the
opponent
>> from doing big attacks by using Energy Removals (making him Impotent),
you
>> pound them into the ground with fast basic pokemon such as Hitmonchan,
and
>> Machop. The Doduo/Dodrio set adds quickness and variety to the deck, and
also
>> lets you retreat your pokemon for less energy, if you need to. One
important
>> aspect of this deck is its variety of weaknesses. Hitmonchan and Machop
are
>> weak to Psychic. If your opponent plays psychic use Kangaskhan, who is
>> resistant to psychic. If he plays Kangaskhan's weakness, Fighting, bring
out
>> Doduo/Dodrio, who is strong against fighting but weak to lightning. If he
>> plays lightning use the Hitmonchans, and Machops. Gust of Wind also lets
you
>> bring out an opponents pokemon who is weak to your attacks or has a high
>> retreat cost and expensive attacks which they will never play with your
>> swarming energy removals. The deck has few energy but is easily drawn
with
>> its card drawing power.
>>
>> Its Success
>> I originally had Dratinis and Dragonairs instead of Doduos and Dodrios,
and
>> still had an awesome record. After I got the Dragonairs, I put them in
but it
>> wasn't as useful as my Doduo set so I put it back. In non-tournament
play, my
>> record was 31-3, (yes I play a lot). This may seem impressive but a lot
of
>> these players are inexperienced (about one third). However, in tournament
>> play, I still managed an excellent record of 9-2 (matches). I also have
won
>> every tournament I have attended, 3. Here are the details of my final
game of
>> my last tournament.
>>
>> The tournament was a single elimination best of 3 with 16 players (some
of
>> which are inexperienced). I was  matched up with a twelve year old boy
named
>> Andrew. He played a Charizard Deck. He assumed the fact that because he
had 2
>> of the most valuable card in the game, he could kill me. The first game
he
>> did not get any Charizards out, (apparently they were 2 of his prizes).
He
>> defended himself with an Arcanine and a Rapidash but I made short work
out of
>> him with Hitmonchans Jabs. He managed to kill 2 Hitmonchans. The next
game,
>> he got both Charizards in his first hand (he kinda shows his cards). By
the
>> time he got one out, I got 4 prizes and he got three. His Charizard had 2
>> Fire Energy on him. He played the third and retreated the Rapidash. I
played
>> an Oak and got two energy removals and used them both. He than got 2 more
>> fire energy cards on. At this point he was almost dead. I used gust of
wind
>> on his magmar and special punched it. He couldn't afford to retreat it so
he
>> only played his 4th fire energy on his Charizard, and waited for me to
kill
>> the magmar.
>> I only had a Machop on the bench (bad draws) so he assumed I was screwed
if I
>> killed the Magmar. I then drew a Machamp (useless) and played my gust of
wind
>> on my unsuspecting victim's Charizard and killed it. He had no choice but
to
>> bring out his energyless Rapidash, knowing I had one more prize. 2 turns
>> later... y'know. (2 wins to zero)
