I haven’t played pokemon cards for about 1-2 years so I have quite old cards but I played a tournament and got quite far so I thought id post my deck! (I kept a diary of it) may be a bit hazy on the facts I mean it was 2 years ago! So most of its just copied from my diary.

 

Ah what a good weekend a pokemon tournament and my birthday! I entered with my g/f and my best mate with the 3 of us we fought we might have a fighting chance of one of us winning.

Fight 1

Round 1 Me V Jessica (Mind Bending)

Great my first match and I was facing my g/f I didn’t go easy on her though J I started with Hitmonchan and Scyther, Hit on the field Scy on the bench. Quick jab Abra on 10hp Psyshock im paralyzed. Then came my most hated pokemon of Jess’s Deck Kadabra quick recover later she was getting ready for a Super psy Then I pulled Kangaskhan onto the bench it goes J another jab dead was my Hit Up goes my Scy slash, super psy, slash he’s gone then came out HIM Mr.mime. Eventually a few Kangaskhan coin flips later I won cuz of no benched pokemon.

Round 2

My easiest pokemon match EVERY This time she won coin toss Abra again against Nidoran Psyshock 20Hp left Horn hazard Heads I win no benched pokemon.

 

Fight 2

Round 1 Me V Eddy (Normallys)

Cuz their weakness to fighting this was an easy match, got Hitmonchan Jabbing a few dead rattata`s and Chanseys later I won!

Round 2

I’ve beat this kid so any times in the past he just got up and quit.

 

 

Fight 3

Round 1 Me V Harold (Dunno but it was Water)

Not much of a challenge first time I used Hitmonlee and Nidoking Just kept using toxic

Round 2

This time was a way bigger deal I won because he used so many bills, professor oaks and Kangaskhan`s Fetch to power his blastoise which never seen action, ran down his deck and he lost because he had no cards in his deck while I had 26 left!

 

Finals

Round 1 Me V Sean

He’d beat me in my last tourney so I wasn’t going to let him win this time cuz I changed my deck!

I started with the edge His Hitmonchan V mine a few jabs and a potion later his Hit was gone but he got another one and mine was gone then I had Hitmonlee and he got Scyther and I was gone.

Round 2

This was it for me now basically his Scyther came again and destroyed my team with a few gust of winds and dead Clefairys later I lost! At least I didn’t have to face Mitch my best friend! 

 

I bought a Jungle booster and got the card I needed to complete the jungle shiny Wigglytuff so it wasn’t all that bad!
