Pokemon TCG Strategies
June, 2008

A deck well how to build one anyway - LG

Yo what it is pokemon world, wow itʼs summer time and now I am officially a senior (but I have to stay fresh man).

Long time no articles or anything, man am I behind in the games, but I have been keeping up with the card games though so I present to you my first article of this summer

Speed Growth (A Tangrowth and Togekiss Deck)

First and foremost lets put it like this any deck can be fast, all you need is the right tweaks to it to make a speed deck constant go heavy on the main items of the deck

4-4 Tangrowth

4-3-4 Togekiss

That is the whole pokemon setup that you need. Now for tech.

Seeing that this deck needs no starter we need a card that can get us our stuff and it can put our energy back in the deck so here we have the new recycling pokemon Claydol

2-2 Claydol.

SO a speed deck doesnʼt need starters, so no pachirisuʼs, stantlers, absols, PHIONE, Girafarig, chingling MT, etc

Mega Techs

The best techs in my eyes for the format go out to

1-1  Ampharos- A damage for a supporter wow seems like crap but early game easy K.O

1-1  Dusknoir- Keeps your opponents Bench Low good for disruption

1-1  Blastoise D- Protects the G and G from weakness if played right enraged linear attack can be useful

1-1  Gyrados- Heʼs just a beast that can get past Magmotar and G and G,

1-1  Venasaur SW- has the special condition clauses

1-1 Omastar- Come on itʼs a stage 2 Espeon EX peoples

1-1  Dugtrio- Bench protection

1-1 Gardevoir SW- um yeah do I need a reason

Now deciding on the tech is crucial, okay then well lets look at what I want to do with the deck, Tangrowth is used to snipe my opponents bench and to get rid of pokeʼs ASAP

Well I think that Ampharos will be the best because I am going to use speed and disruption to get this deck going or I may be tempted to use Omastar also or maybe.

Trainers

First off staples Please

Evolution

4 Candy- the fastest card for evolutions since pokemon breeder (Non supporter)

Bench- Holon Mentor or Rossanes but in this case I am favoring Rossanes Research

Search Engines- Dang it Pidgeot we miss you, But I have to go with Bebes search on account I can shuffle my energy back into my deck.

Draw Power- Prof Oak can visit anytime he wants as long as I can keep that one energy in my deck.

Other- Warp Point, Switch, Stadiums, Night Maintenance, fishing engine, whatever okay

Now last but not least the energy.

No special are needed we are strictly grass over here

16 Grass

Maybe 2 multi can help Amphy out

Wow and hey Iʼm done then for play testing settle it at league okay, tech ya deck tweak it against the bug bad decks out there.
