This tourney had mostly little kids, like 8-10 years old, who were cleared out in round robin. I faced 5 of such players, but I will only count the battles of the playoffs.(I whomped them)

Here's my deck, Lethal Injection

4 Grimer
3 Muk (fossil)
4 Ekans (fossil)
2 Dark Arbok (rocket)
1 Arbok (fossil)
2 Koffing (base)
2 Koffing (rocket)
2 Dark Weezing (rocket)
1 Weezing (fossil)
(21 total)
Trainors:
2 Boss's Way
2 Imposter Oak's Revenge
2 Switch
2 Gust Of Wind
2 Bill
2 Computer Search
2 Professer Oak
(14 total)
Energy:
25 Grass Energy

I made this deck, with status changes in mind. With my basic guys, like Grimer, and Ekans, attacks that paralyze are the defining line between lie or die. None of my pokemon have really high hit points, so paralyzing attack, and confusing attacks are crucial to survival. The added touch of Muk's Pokemon Power and Dark Arbok's Stare attack eliminating Pokemon Powers, I have a bit of an edge. Not to mention the Arboks's (Dark, and Fossil) poisoning, and bench-hurting, I have my bases covered. I am contemplating on removing the Fossil Weezing and replacing it with another Dark Weezing, but here is my deck as is in action.
Here's how I fared:
(excluding the round robin)

Round 1: Alex with a Haymaker
I draw a sweet opening hand (3 energy, Grimer, Muk, and Comp Search). He gets no basics (can U believe it???). My 2 cards are Ekans, and Energy. I win the coin toss, and he flips his Scyther. I have my Ekans out first, I attach an energy, and spit poison.HEADS! He attaches a grass, and does swords dance. I draw Boss's Way, attach an energy to Ekans, and wrap.Tails.He draws an Electabuzz, attaches a lightning to Scyther, swords dance again. I attach an anergy to Ekans, use Boss's Way, get my Dark Arbok, Vapour him. He gets no energy, I kill his Scyther, and Electabuzz goes down too.
sorry about the length, I loved that match.
1-0

Quarter-final: Steve with GASP! Psychic
I get Ekans, Grimer, Rocket Koffing, Muk, and 3 Energy. I Start with Koffing, he gets a Kangaskhan. I tackle. he attaches, does fetch. I get Weezing on the draw, I do Poison gas, heads. He attaches energy to Kanga, Fetch, takes poison damage. I attach an energy, evolve to Weezing, and Selfdestruct for the win.
man, I was worried at the start
2-0

Semi-Final: Jeff, Raindance
*teehee* I draw a Grimer, 5 energy, and a comp search. he gets a lapras, and squirtle, and waterguns me. I get Ekans, and my Grimer Nasty Goos, paralyzing him. he comp's and breeder's for a blastoise, and water gun's me again. I switch a charges Ekans for my grimer, comp search for Muk, stopping any dancing. I get a Dark Arbok, and keep Vapouring for the win (he never got any more guys. I am haveing the best luck)

Final: Dan, my cousin, with his "Buds And Bees" deck/
this deck revolves around the speed of evolution for beedrills, and the Heal Of Vileplumes, and 2 Scythers for cover. (I got the heal thing covered)
