Hello, everybody at Pojo! This is Sparkey450 again. I don't know if my first

article was posted. It was a reply to "it's a sad day". Anyway...

 

       Alot of people say we should play original decks, but they can't win.

This is not true. In this article, I'll tell you how to build a deck using

cards nobody ever uses. Ok, we know that Sneasel, Wiggly and those guys are

not easy to beat, right? Well here's how you build a crazy-yet-powerful deck.

First I'll make an example. Let's try Fossil Golbat. I can't remeber the last

time I played against him, but MAN was it a pain. And I was playing HAYMAKER!

so first, we have fossil Zubat and Golbat in the deck. Both have free retreat

costs and can heal damage. Hmm... I like it! Now, let's look at Golbat's

weakness: Psychic. The biggest threat in this category would be MP Mewtwo. So

we'll add, Jungle Meowth and Persian! Persian has a resistance to Psychic,

and pounce reduces tha damage by 10 more, making him invulnerable to MP

Mewtwo. Now, we need a good opening basic. We'll add, Jungle Mr.Mime. His

invisible wall will greatly disrupt most Sneasel/Wiggly decks. You can use

him to stall while Golbat and Persian Power up. Now for trainers, add Bill,

Oak and CPU of course. And add some berry. Berry will help Mime to stall some

more, or can be used in emergencies on Persian and Golbat. Since the deck has

almost no retreat, Gusts and Switches are not neccessary. You can just hit

and run at will, switching your pokemon for whoever is best in the situation.

Add Plus power to help KO opponents in a couple of turns, and Elm for some

additional card drawing, and to keep yourself from decking. Finally, add some

Energies for the pokemon, and you're done! Here is the example deck:

Pokemon(18)

Zubat x 4 (Fossil)

Golbat x 3 (Fossil)

Meowth x 4 (Jungle)

Persian x 3 (Jungle)

Mr. Mime x 4 (Jungle)

Trainers(17)

Bill x 3

Prof. Oak x 3

CPU x 3

Berry x 3

plus Power x 3

Prof. Elm x 2

Energy(25)

Grass x 12

Psychic x 11

DCE x 2

You can do this with other forgotten cards also. Just use a little

imagination! As strange as this deck looks, it has stumped quite a few Hays

and Wigglies! And it doesn't even have 20 trainers! You don't need Sneasel

and 30 trainers to win! All you need is some imagination. Heck, i have a deck

with NO RARES, which has never failed to beat a haymaker. try it people! It's

more fun to win with your favorites. One last thing you should know: When you

play original decks, people are less likely to be able to metagame you

because they won't know what to expect. People expect to play TR Zapdos and

Sneasel, but not Fossil Tentacruel and Dark Jolteon. Have fun with the game!

That's why we started, right?
