This is a newer version of my Machamp deck as of September. In the
tournament I entered I did terrible because almost all of my pokemon were
weak to Psycic and I played a Psycic deck first round. I beat 1 game out
of
the 3 though. Now because of my 2 recent tourney wins at the local card
shop
I'm getting teamed up to the toughest of oppenents first round, half of which
play rain dance, half of which play Psychic.
Well, now for the updated Deck:
25 Fighting energy
4 Machops (Good first turn damage with a good evolution)
4 Machamps (Very good, powerful card, with great HP_
4 Hitmonchan (added another due to their usefullness as starters)
3 Onix (Took out the Lickitung, Onix is working out better for me)
4 Pokemon Breeders (Machoke was to weak so I took them out for the Breeders)
4 Gust of Wind (Helps at crucial moments)
3 Scoop up (In my opinion the best trainer there is. You can always
prevent
a prize from happening. If you use it all damage is gone plus you get the
basic back, if you don't the opponent will get a prize and no basic for you.)
4 Pluspower (Excellent card, one of the best)
3 Bill (Who doesn't Bill?)
2 Prof. Oak (Probably one of the very best and most crucial trainers there
is. When all they have up is a 40 or 30 HP pokemon I put down Machop or
hitmonchan, Oak, if I get one or two pluspower the game is mine.)
Here is what happened at the tournament:
Round 1:
Game 1-I only got Machop. He got Jynx. He double slapped and it
worked both
times for a total of 40 damage to me. I drew, Hitmonchan, energy on it.
He
double slapped but it didn't work. I put an energy on Machop and low
kicked.
After that he used meditate to kill Machop. I brought out hitmonchan
and
used jab. He used meditate for 40. I used Special punch to kill Jynx.
He
brought out an abra, Psyshocked and paralyzed for 20. My turn, nothing.
His
turn he won by killing it.
Game 2-This time I actually got a good hand. I got 2 Machops, 2 Machamps,
2
Breeders, and an energy, the almost perfect hand. He got 3 abras. I
went
first and used low kick. He used psyshock for 20 and paralyzed. I
put an
energy on my benched Machop and was done. He used Pyshock for 20 but did
not
paralyze. I put energy on benched Machop, kill abra, and was done.
He
brought out abra and used Psyshock to kill Machop. My turn I brought out
Machop, attached an energy and used low kick. His turn he put down Jynx
and
psyshocked and paralyzed. My turn I put energy down, breedered (which
meant
Machamp wasn't confused since I had evolved.) I drew a gust of wind at the
beginning of the turn so I gusted out Jynx and used Seismec Toss. His turn
he used double slap and did 20 damage but Jyx was dead because of Machamp's
Pokemon Power. I used Seismec Toss on abra and won.
Game 3-Basically same as last game, I got good hand he got ba...but wait!! He
got a good hand!! He got Kadabra out and from then on he could kill any of my
pokemon in 1 hit, even Machamp, to bad for me, I was out the first round!!!
I will be back next week.
By the way. I would really appreciate it if anyone e-mailed me at
Brett3@aol.com and either told me how good
my deck was or how I could change
it to make it better.
