I went to a tournament lately which was organized by Software City and took place at the Molineux Sports Centre. I came first in the end"Charistodos deck"It isa water fire deck with only a few trainer cards. Here it is:-
4 Charmander
4 Charmeleon
4 Charizard (Energy Burn and main attacker)
4 Squirtle
4 Wartortle
4 Blastoise (Rain Dance and co main attacker)
2 Magikarp
2 Gyrados ( The Water-Snake-Evolution-of-Death)
1 Ditto
1 Mr Mime (Stall with Invisible Wall)
24 Water Energy
1 Double Colourless Energy
2 Pokeball
1 Pokemon Trader
2 Computer Search
The main idea of ths deck is to immediately get out a Blastoise which can power up my other Blastoise and Gyrados by using Rain Dance, while also building up a Charizard on my bench. Mr. Mime is used to stall and Ditto to kill Mewtwo's, It does this by having two energy cards on and Mewtwo does 30 damage to it. However because of the resistance it does nothing. Then it transforms into Mewtwo and kills it with one hit because of Psychic's weakness to itself. The trainer cards are the ones which allow you to search for more cards (like Blastoise, Charizard and Gyrados) to attack more quickly. The tourney was held in England (I live there) and this it.
 
Round One v ???????? With Grass Deck
 
I picked up Squirtle and Wartortle, Poke Ball and 4 Water Energy. I went first and drew Water energy and sent out Squirtle, I pokeballed..... Heads, looked for Blastoise and Bubbled with Squirtle and parylized against his Venonat. My go drew Water energy, Evolved to Wartortle and used Withdraw... Tails. His go He couldn't do anyhting. My go, drew Charmeleon and evolved to Blastoise. Used Rain Dance and K'Od his Venonat. I win due to no basics.
1-0-0
 
Round Two v ???????? With Stall Deck
 
My Hand wasn't bad Magikarp, Blastoise, Squirtle, Charizard, Charmeleon and two water energies, I pick up Charmander and send him out, with Magikarp and Squirtle on the bench. He mulliganed twice, with me getting Gyrados, Wartortle and two water energy. Next few goes I kept doing ten damage to his Mewtwo, while I kept getting Water energy. I was evolving Charmander-Charizard and only needed one more prize to win. Needed two energy to K.O. Chansey with 60 health (2 Defender's) picked up DCE and won.

Final v ???????? With Water Deck
 
The hardest match by far, I don't remeber much about execpt I got a useless starting hand with just 1 charmander, I gradually evolved it to Charizard, With two fully powered Blastoise for support and a Mr. Mime, I beat his Tentacruels, Kinglers, Blastoise, Gyrados and Poliwrath. I K'Od 4 of his until Charizard died when I finished him off with Blastoise collecting 6 of my prizes (however with a few early kils, he only neede two more). I got 5 Jungle Boosters and Fossil which I got:- 2 Mr. Mimes (Both Shiny) 1 Gengar (Non shiny),1Muk (non-shiny) 3!!! Moltres (ALL SHINY WAHOO!) 1 Sycther (non Shiny) 1 Electode (non holo Jungle) and a non shiny Vaporeon) I also got £100 store credit which I bought 3 normal boosters and got Zapdas, Venusaur and CHARIZARD (Number 5!)
