Hey Pojo,
your site is the best Pokemon site around!
A few days ago, I thought of a Pokemon which could
completely destroy the opponent's Bench (without Selfdestruct or
Dark Raichu). Its name: Zapdos (Fossil). My deck revoloves
aroung getting Zapdos (Fossil) fully powered as Active with
Alakazam and a Chansey or two or your Bench (or a Snorlax or
Kangaskhan). It would also be helpful (though I woudn't advise
you to run a tri-color deck) to have Venusaur (Promo Card #13)
also on your Bench. After getting Zapdos (F) as Active, keep
using Thunderstorm turn after turn. Next turn, use Damage Swap
to swap all the damage Zapdos did to itself and all the damage
the Defending Pokemon did to Zapdos onto Chansey. (You know...
Scoop Up Chansey when it's low on HP.) Venusaur is to make sure
Zapdos doens't get Poisoned or whatever. If you don't want to
run Venusaur, put in a few Full Heal. Add a few Defenders
and Potions just so Zapdos stays out longer.
My deck:
Thunderstorm/Damage Swap
Pokemon:
4x Zapdos (Fossil)
4x Abra (TR)
1x Kadabra
2x Alakazam
4x Chansey (or Snorlax or Kangaskhan)
Trainers:
4x Scoop Up
1x Pokemon Breeder
3x Defender
3x Full Heal
2x Potion
2x Energy Retrieval
3x Nightly Garbage Run
4x Energy Removal
1x Super Energy Removal
0x The Rocket's Trap (We don't want this deck looking like any
archetype would we? Oh yeah, except for Damage Swap.)
Energy:
14x Lightning Energy
6x Psychic Energy
2x Double Colorless Energy
Notice how this deck does not run any Scyther, Hitmonchan,
Wigglytuff, Blastoise or whatever archetype you copied from the
Internet! (Except for Damage Swap, it's the only way you're
going to keep Zapdos alive long enough.)
I don't have all the cards needed to make this deck, so if some
of you readers manage to build this deck, please e-mail me how
well the deck did at the event you were participating in.
