Shinnokxz here to tell you about my recent trip to my local Pokémon Tournament. Yes, I haven't done a killer deck report in quite a while, but I think this won't be hard to understand. Anyways... on with the show...

4x Chansey :It's a Chansey! The main thing to the deck!Have about 3 of these on the bench, then swap all damage to them using Alakazam's Damage Swap ,and Scoop Em' Up and pt them back down!

3x Mr. Mime: Mr. Mime will be the helping hand to kickign the crap out of your opponents. Have it on he bench, hve Sabrinas Alakazam active, Meag Burn, then next turn, use Mr. Mimes Meditate to whack 'em for 130!

2x Gastly (Fossil): In there for the Fossil Gengar line, it's great for stalling (Haunter) and killign the bench (Gengar)

2x Haunter (Fossil): Great Staller

1x Gengar (Fossil): Like I said before, great bench killer and a great retreat cost with 80 HP!

2x Sabrina's Gastly (Lv. 10, Gym Challenge): Great attack for only 2 energy, and a grat Pokémon Power!

2x Sabrina's Haunter (Lv. 20 and 29, Gym Challenge): Great attacker, evolves into a terrorizing machine.

1x Sabrina's Gengar (Gym Heroes): Pain Amplifier is awesome, and Call of the Nught is a great attack for killing off basics and other guys.

4x Abra (Both Kind): There pretty good, in there own ways.

3x Kadabra (Base): Great attacker for the starting of the game.

2x Alakazam (Base) Another key to this great deck

1x Dark Kadabra (TR): For backup only..

1x Dark Alakazam (TR): For Backup too...

2x Sabrina's Abra (Gym Challenge): There both pretty good, use any kind you want

2x Sabrina's Kadabra (Gym Challenge): Great killer. Evovles into the most awesoem card ever.

1x Sabrinas Alakazam (Gym Challenge): Great okémon Power and everything!

4x Scoop Up (Base): For Chancey when it sucks up all of it's damage.

2x Computer Search (Base): Look for the evoilutions you need!

1x Pokémon Trader (Base): Just the same as Computer Search

2x Bill (Base): Lookign for the cards you need? Get 'em closer with this!

This isn't your normal damage swap deck. Instead of having Chansey out stalling and taking damage, you can actually start beating the crud out of your opponent while stalling and swapping. Also, if your wonderig why there are only 9 trainers in here, and no Oaks, well, I don't beleive in Decking yourself. This deck is completely re-made from my Psy-Wa-Wa deck which had a horrible weackness to decking it's self.

There are a lot of ways to go in this deck. I took out all the Water guys to loosen up space and made it all Psychic. So anyways, without out adoe, heres the tournament!!

Me vs. John and his Wigglytuff deck...

I was nervous about this game. This deck hasn't ever beaten a Wigglytuff deck before. I started with a pitiful hand ! Sabrina's Satly and a Gastly. I put the normal one up to active, knowing that that will kill off there bench quicker. I won the coin flip and drew an Alakazam. I Bill'd and drew a Sabrina's Gengar abd a Dark Kadabra. I attached the energy to Gastly and licked for the 10 and for PRZ. He completely filled his bench (Crap) and put out a Scyther. I drew a Haunter and attached an energy to Gastly, evovlved into Haunter and put that guy to sleep and for 10. Luckily for me, he was sleeping for 5 turns. My next turn I drew an Abra, put that down and attached an energy to it. Got another 10 for the Scyther to knock him out. I Drew a Kadabra! Woo! He sent out Hitmonchan, and dealed 30 to me. I attached an energy to Abra and evolved into Kadabra. I retreated for free with gastly and killed Monchan for 100 K.O. I drew a Chansey (Thank Goodness) from my prizes. He sent out wiggly and dealed 20 to me. I kept with Kadabra and dealed 20 to him. He had 20 HP left. He G.O.W for my lonely Sabrinas Abra and dealed 20 to it. I luckily drew a Sabrinas Kadabra and attached an energy to it. I did life drain which left it at 10. He then G.O.W. for my Chansey and didn't attack, lucky for me chansey only had a 1 retret cost. I attached and discarded the energy and sent out the Kadabra, and killed him. He had a lonely energyless Hitmonlee and I killed in in one trun. Game Over. I won.

Score: Wins 1 Loses 0

Me vs. Li'l Kid and Fire Deck...

<sigh> Another Charizard lover. I pitty him. But I went easy on him. (I had 2 Alakazams in my hand the whole game). He starte dout with a lonely Charmander (TR). I got out Sabrina's Abra and K.O's him in 2 turns. That was all of his basics, so I won. But, the kids' dad got SO angry with me, and demanded a re-match. Hehe. I beat him again, but the game only lasted 10 minutes longer then the other one.

Me vs. 15 yr. old and Haymaker

This was a toughie. He got out Electabuzz and powered him in 2 turns, I have a lonely Kadabra. He did 30 to me, and 10 to himself. We both had only one guy. I drew and pulled a Chansey! Woo! I Super-Psy'd him with only 10 HP remaining. He drew a Bill (Crap). And drew his cards, I preyed he didn't get a basic and he forfeited!!! Wow! I won again!

Me vs. 12 yr. old and Psy deck (A lot like mine)...

This game was a mess for me right from the start I drew all basics except for 2 Scoop ups and No Energy. It was untill 4 turns later I actaully drew my first energy, but of course, his Mr. Mime and beaten all of my guys except one. Hehe.. unfortunatly it was a Base Abra. I didn't stick in that game and I loss, hey atleast I got in the semi-finals!
