I really like electric pokemon so I decided to make an all electric deck, I
really didn't think it would work. To my surprise it really kicked some butt,
here it is.
2 Basic Zapdos
2 Fossil Zapdos
2 Electabuzz
2 Movie pikachu
2 Basic magneton
4 Basic magnemite
2 Basic electrode
1 Rocket electrode
3 Basic voltorb
1 Rocket voltorb
4 energy removal
4 bill
4 potion
2 pluspower
2 energy retrieval
1 S.E.R
21 Electric energies
Round 1 Vs. Fire/psy deck
I don't even know this kid and he comes up and challenges me, little does he
know I have four Zapdos in my deck. I win the toss and send out an Electabuzz
with a magnemite and a fossil zapdos on my bench. He sends out a gastly with
a charmander, slowpoke and gastly on the bench. I thundershock w/paralyze. He
decides to do nothing so I thunderpunch and kill gastly. He evolves
charmander to charmeleon and makes short work of my electabuzz. Here comes
zapdos baby. I thunderstrorm twice to get rid of it and 2 pokemon on the
bench. He had gotten a ponyta earlier and used it on me. I kill both ponyta
and the last remaining bench and this game is over.
Win: 1 Loss: 0
Round 2 Vs. My cousin with a water/psy deck
Ok this was an easy one, my electabuzz got out and made mincemeat of both her
poliwags. No more basic pokemon.
Win: 2 Loss: 0
Round 3 Vs. Some hyper kid with a borrowed fire/colorless deck
Ok, this kid was wierd, it seemed like all he wanted to do was lose so he
could get 10 points for the played game. He put out an eevee, and a
kangaskhan with a couple others on the bench. Zapdos fossil killed 2 on the
bench and the eevee. he was mad cause he was going to evolve it to jolteon. I
had a time with kangaskhan, but after a couple fetches and no attack he was
gone. Somehow he managed to kill Zapdos, but thats all right, Electabuzz
finished them off.
Win: 3 Loss:0
Round 4 Vs. colorless deck
Let me say this, I HATE COLORLESS DECKS! You never know whats in them!
I got my movie pikachu out and killed his gastly but when he got a rhydon out
it was over for me. he had no energy on him, but everytime i would recharge
and thunderbolt it was a waste, I almost decked due to loss of energy. He
started to feel sick so he quit and I figured since I was gonna lose anyway
we'd call it a tie (lucky for me).
Win: 3 Loss: 0 Tie: 1
Round 5 Vs. Gym Leader (Adam) psy deck
This one was lucky. He got no basic first draw so i got 9 cards. The only
basic pokemon i had was electabuzz so he was out. He sent out a jynx.
I won the toss so I paralyzed jynx with thundershock and got zapdos on the
bench. He thought he was going to kill me so bad when he got his jynx pumped,
well I didn't let that happen, I used both pluspowers in my hand to do 60
damage and kill jynx. No more basics, I win. Had he gotten an abra out it was
over for me, he had like 6 psy energy in his hand and three kadabra's. Close
shave.
I would say I did good, wouldn't you? these may have been my first league
matches but I am a pro deck builder, and when I do it I mean business. I sure
didn't expect this one to be that good though! Wait til' next sunday when I
whip out the new deck I'm constructing now. C-ya!
Props and Slops
Props to the kids that didn't even know me for battling me.
Props to my cousin for playing me though she knew she was doomed.
Props to Adam for being such a cool gym leader.
Props to pojo for posting this killer deck!
Slops to the little kids dad for not letting me play him, just because I was
going to put some japanese in my deck and he couldn't read it though I knew
what it said!!!!
No more slops, thats it, this was the funnest time I've had in a while.
Thanx for checking my deck out,
C-ya next weekend with my new one, I just know it will be good,
