This time I've cooked up another cool deck.
This time I've used Electric, Water, and Psychic element Pokemon for some
surprises.
Ocean Zap
Pokemon (19)
4 Misty's Psyduck (Gym Challenge)
3 Misty's Golduck
3 Sabrina's Abra (Gym Heroes)
2 Sabrina's Kadabra
3 Lt. Surge's Pikachu (Gym Challenge)
2 Lt. Surge's Raichu (Gym Challenge)
2 Scyther
Trainers (19)
2 Lt. Surge's Treaty
4 Bill
2 Blaine's Quiz #1
3 Professor Oak
2 Gust Of Wind
2 Computer Search
4 PlusPower
Energy (22)
2 Double Colorless
6 Electric Energy
5 Water Energy
7 Psychic Energy
The strategy with this Ocean Zap is to keep your
opponent low on Energy and HP until Sabrina's Kadabra and a PlusPower are
ready, then ZING! Flip and if heads, KO your opponent's active Pokemon.
First Battle vs little kid who wouldn't
tell me his name (Nidoran Deck)
I laughed when I went first with a Surge's Pika to
a Nidoran Male base set. I attached DCE to Pika, PlusPowered and did
Quick Attack worth 40 damage and the KO. Hey, I already won.
Record 1-0
Second Battle vs Jesse (Bug Deck)
This one was quick. He went first w/ Weedle
and I got 2 Psyducks. He had no Energy so he passed. I attached
Psychic Energy to Psyduck, did ESP, and got to draw a card. He again had
no Energy and passed. I evolved Misty's Psyduck into Misty's Golduck,
attached Water Energy to Golduck, and Electro Beam"ed" for victory.
Final Record 2-0
I spent tons of time trading and got some really
good deals.
Props and Slops
Props to a kid for trading me a Japanese Fossil
Mew in mint condition.
Props to a kid for trading me a Cool Porygon in
mint condition.
Slops to a kid who wouldn't trade at all.
Thanks for reading!
