This is a deck I've had for a while and
just recently went to a tourney with it. I let my dad use my old
Psychic/Fighting deck and I wamped him about 50 times...I was ready. When
I got to the tournament there was a lot of competition, but the deck
prevailed. Heres the decklist.

performed.......
--Round 1--
Dark Side vs. Grass/Water
deck
This looked like a piece of cake, and
was. I started out with a R. Zapdos and Ditto and R. Mewtwo Benched.
He had a lone Staryu. I went first, laid down a lightning energy on R.
Zapdos and did Plasma for the win!!!
--Round 2--
Dark Side vs. Feraligatr
deck
This was hard! I started with a
Ditto active, then 2 Sneasals and a Promo Mewtwo on the bench, He had a chansey
active, and 4 totodiles on his bench and a Poliwag. I attached a lightning
to ditto, he attached a water energy to chansey, I attached a psychic energy to
ditto and scrunched succesfully...It went on like this until he got out
Feraligatr and I had to Fully Energized Sneasals with a bemch of 4! I had
one prize left, but Sneasy active and flipped all heads but 1!
--Round 3--
Dark Side vs. Haymaker
He Started with a lone Hitmonchan, and I
had a R. Zapdos with a benched Sneasal. His jabs didn't affect me so I
kept using plasma for the win!
Record 3-0
--Round 4--
Dark Side vs. Mulligan Mewtwo
Deck
I hate those decks! He mulliganed
about 10 times, then had a Mewtwo. I Started with a lone Sneasal, used
Comp. Search for a Darkness Energy, attached, then I oaked for another, Next
turn I attached the other Darkness Energy, Placed Ditto and R.Zappy on my bench,
Beat up, and Flipped all heads to Win!!! Sneasal is so
Broken/Evil!!!
Now the Elimination Begins, 3 rounds to
go!
--Round 5--
Dark Side vs. Murkrow Lock
Deck
I Started With an active Electabuzz and
an Electabuzz and Sneasal benched. He Had Murkrow Active and 2
Murkrows on the bench. I Thundershocked him with paralyis, he did nothing
I Thundershocked with paralyis, he dis nothing. I Thunder Punched him for
30 and 10 to myself.
He plays Erika's Perfume and puts my
Ditto into play. I thunderpunch The rest of his crows and Energized my
sneasal for backup.
Record 5-0
--Round 6--
Dark Side vs. Sneasal/Murkrow
deck
this was an odd match, I started with a
lone R. Zapdos, and he had an Active Sneasal with a bench full of small Pokèmon
like Horsea (Fossil)
Win I had one prize left he got bored
and forfeited, Sore Loser!!!!!!!
Record 6-0
--FINAL MATCH--
Dark Side vs. Feraligatr
deck
What is it with these Feraligatr
Decks? I drew a phenomenal hand!
It almost seemed as if I had cheated (
though I would never resort to such actions)! I had A R. Zapdos
Active , with 2 Sneasals and an Electabuzz benched! I did Plama on his
Totodile, Plasma on his other Totodile, Did Plasma on his other Totodile,
Electroburned his Feraligatr, Elctro Burned his Misty's Seadra, retreated, and
Beat Up his Gyrados with My Sneasal and a full bench! 120
Damage........
