Well this my very first killer deck report so sorry if it doesn't seem perfect.
I played at the Pokemon league at my local Toys-R-Us. I was
going to use my Haymaker deck but thought up this and decided to try it out.
This was my first time at the league so I was a little nervous.
Well here's my deck
Electric Shock v1.0 (It will get updated soon)
Pokemon :19
4 Pikachus (1jungle,1movie, 2 League)
3 Raichus (1 Fossil 1base 1 Dark)
3 Voltorb (Rocket)
3 Electodes (2base 1 dark)
3 Zapdos (1 base 2 fossil)
1 Electabuzz (I know I need more)
2 Scyther
Trainers 12
3 Bill
2 Oak
2 Potions
2 S.Potions
2 S.E.R
1 Cpu search
Energy 28
Electric 25
double colorless 2
full heal 1
Basically you try and beat up your opponent and his bench at the same time. If
Fighting or
resistance get you switch to Scyther or Zapdos. I am probably going to put in
more Electabuzze's when I get some. All in all this deck did good going
unbeaten.
The Matches
Me Vs kid with Gym Heroes deck (electric/ colorless)
I mulligan first turn and end up getting Zapdos as my basic. I stall with him
while powering up Raichu and electrode. I then power up Zapdos until the thunder
backfire faints him. His deck had mostly basic Pokemon like Lt. Surges Pikachu
and magnemite. I then bring out electrode and take all 6 prizes in 6 turns.
1-0-0
Me Vs kid with water and fire deck.
I watched him play and he was really good. His deck had fire Pokemon like
Blaines Vulpix and Ninetails, Charmander and Charizard along with water Pokemon
like Poliwag family and Articuno. It started with my Fossil Zapdos and his
charmander. The battle went back and forth. Eventually he got how a fully
powered Articuno But I killed it before it could do any real damage. I also
fainted a poliwag a poliwhirl charmander and Vulpix. It then came down to
Electrode and a energyless charmander my deck was really low so I decided not to
oak. He energy removaled me twice so at this point I figured he was trying to
stall me out. I got 2 energies on electrode but his charmander had evolved to
Charizard. With about 1 card left in my deck I fainted it and took my last
prize.
2-0-0
Me Vs kid with modified Lighting Bug
Quick match. I started with Electabuzz and him caterpie. He got out a Beedrill
but my Electrode took it out. I ended up benching him.
3-0-0
Me Vs same kid
He wanted a rematch so I played him. He was harder this time. He started with a
Eggecute which was Eggsexutor on turn 2 and me a fossil Zapdos. I had no bench
while he had a koffing, caterpie, weedle and Nidoran female. I got a Pikachu and
Electrode later on but that was after he took out my Zapdos, another Voltorb and
Scyther. He paralyzed me a lot with metapod but I lived. Some lucky bench
hitting with my Dark Raichu along with heavy damage by Electrodes got me the
win.
4-0-0
By that time it was 12:00 and I had to go. Well I had a really fun day. Traded a
bit a almost got my badge.
Now Props and Slops.
