Dear Pojo, and Scott,
I played In a tournament on 9/18/99 at Manchester Center, in Fresno, Ca.
There were about 25 people in this tournament, which was single elimination.
I got 2nd place in this tournament using a Psycic/Electric deck. The key
to
this deck is to get Alakazam fast, along with Pokemon that have lots of hit
points, so I can use Alakazam's Power which is Damage Swap. Chancey is ideal
in this case,and I got it as a prize. I would include it in my deck, but I
got it AFTER the tournament. Here is my deck:
x12 Psicic Energy
x14 Electric Energy
x2 Mewtwo
x4 Abra
x4 Kadabra
x2 Alakazam
x2 Jynx
x1 Zapdos
x2 Eevee
x1 Jolteon
x2 Magnimite
x1 Magneton
x2 Pikachu(Jungle)
x1 Riachu
x4 Bill
x2 Computer Search
x1 Pokemon Trader
x1 Pokemon Breeder
x3 Super Potion(This and Alakazam's Pokemon Power works wonders)
Round 1: I played a 12 year old kid with a grass deck. He got 4 prizes
right away after he got his Nidoqueen out early. Then I got my Alakazam with
a computer search and put him on my bench. The rest of that game Mewtwo
and
Kadabra dominated when I used the pokemon power and transferred my damage to
both of my Jynx's(I didnt even need to use my powered up Zapdos). This
game
lasted a long time because I kept using damage swap, and he had no energy
attatched to all of his pokemon, and I couldnt pay the retreat cost of
mewtwo. By the time we finished round 1 everybody else finished round 2.
Game lasted about 45 min in all(wow!) Result of that I got a by-round
Round 3:I played an 11 year old girl with a slightly modified Power Reserve
deck. I got both my Mewtwo's right away, and a Riachu with a computer
search. She didnt have any basics on her bench, and I was suprised that she
didn't use bellsprouts call for family. She lost after running out of
basics.
Round 4:There were 3 people left to go to the finals so we had to pick a
number between 1 and 100. I picked 7 and the number was 3. I got another
by-round
Round 5 (finals): I played a kid with a grass fighting deck. At the
very
begining I got 2 Abra's and a magnimite. Somehow he got 2 Scythers and 3
hitmochans right away! How is that possible I thought?!? Long story short:
He killed me in minutes with hitmochan. I didnt even get one prize because
he kept using energy removals and super potions.
I still got 2nd and a Chancey, which was worth it. My name is Bagel Boy
and
I am a Poke-holic
My IM screen name is Bagel Killer, and my e-mail is bagelkiller@hotmail.com
P.S. Please Post my deck Scott and thank you
