Hi! I designed this deck to take out those annoying
Haymakers that everyone at this tournament plays. Of course, this
week the 5 people that always play haymakers weren't there(too scared ;), and
no one else played one. There was one kid who had a haymaker, but I
didn't get to play him. Oh, well. On to the deck!
Death to Haymakers
4 Erika's Dratini (great anti-hay pokemon, center of deck)
3 MP Mewtwo (bye Hitmonchan, other Mewtwo, or Ditto)
3 Electabuzz (no Raindance worries)
1 Lt. Surges Electabuzz ( Charge up benched pokemon while
doing damage)
3 Scyther (I HATE Hitmonchan)
TRAINERS
4 GOW (duh)
3 Pluspower
3 ER
3 Scoop Up (use on Erika's Dratini to re-kill that
Hitmonchan)
3 Prof. Oak (duh)
2 SER
2 Itemfinders (get back needed trainers)
2 RSA (wanna use that SER? Denied!)
2 NGR (Really PO someone by getting back Erika's Dratini
after they wasted time killing it)
2 Narrow Gym (get rid of other annoying gyms; works well on
Wiggly decks)
2 Good Manners (Hmmm.. I think I'll get out Erika's
Dratini...)
2 EF (Energy Flow) ((save valuable energy))
1 Erika's Maids (2 Erika's Dratinis? Awesome!)
1 CPU Search
Energy
5 Psy energy
4 Electric energy
3 DCE
2 Rainbow energy
The strategy is to get out Erika's Dratini and beat up on
Hitmonchan... OOPS.. I mean, haymakers. In case of Wiggly decks, SER,
ER, and Narrow Gym are your best bets. On to the battles!
First, we did best 2 out of 3...
Round 1 vs. ER deck
Battle 1- I had out Mewtwo against his Eevee, Poliwag, and
Psyduck. I powered up Mewtwo while his Eevee kept tackling me. I
gusted out Poliwag and killed it. He kept tackling me, while I
psyburned. He used Potion and evolved to Dark Vaporeon and Whirlpooled.
I used psyburn with 2 Pluspowers. He sends out Psyduck, evolves to
Golduck, and does nothing. I Psyburn. He does nothing. I Psyburn for the win.
Battle 2- I couldn't draw any energy and when I did,
he removed it. Eventually, he drew his last prize.
Battle 3- He had out Totodile* and me Scyther. I
powered up Scyther while he powered up and evolved to Croconaw*.
I killed his Croconaw with one blow + Sword's Dance. No bench!
1-0

Round 2 vs. Base Gastly?-Dark Hypno deck
Battle 1- She had out B Gastly and me Electabuzz. See
kids, this is why Gastly is a bad card. Turn1,thundershock, parylisis,
she does nothing, turn 2 thunderpunch, win.
Battle 2- See above
2-0
Then, we stopped 2 out of 3 and made it single elimination.
Round 3 vs. Copy of my deck except with Hitmonchan instead
of Electabuzz.
I don't really remember this battle. I just remember
I killed off a few Hitmonchans and Scythers until I got to the Erika's
Dratinis. Then, I kept ERing his DCEs and pounding his Erika's Dratinis until
he had no bench.
3-0
Finals vs. Arcanine deck
This kid made some dumb mistakes. I don't remember
much except that he sent out his Growlithe with 4 energies and 20 damage
against my fully charged no-damage Mewtwo. Needless to say I killed it.
I then tried to play Narrow Gym but Mr. King of the World here said that since
he wasn't paying attention when I played it that I had to discard it. Oh
well. I creamed his other basics with Mewtwo.
4-0
