-----| Explainations:
- Why all of the different types of Energy? No real reason;
maybe just to psych out your opponent. Variety is always
fun.
- Yes, there is only ONE Pokemon in this deck. Some people
just said, "Huh? You're an idiot". That may be true.
Others know the real reason behind it. Remember, this deck
is made so that you run your opponent out of cards. So,
we're going to abuse the "Mulligan" rule; the fewer the
number of Basic Pokemon in the deck, the more cards that
your opponent draws for the Mulligan. So, the odds are
that your opponent will be drawing about ten (10) cards for
a mulligan. This means a seventeen card hand. See? Now
you know.
- The only thing you really need to do is KEEP THAT LITTLE
BUGGER NAMED CHANSEY ALIVE! That's what all of the
Potions, Super Potions and Pokemon Centers are for.
Remember, you're not going to attack with Chansey; all you
need to do is Scrunch -- that means play a maximum of two
Energy cards on Chansey at a time. You're either going to
discard both of them to a Pokemon Center, or one to a Super
Potion or Super Energy Removal.
- DON'T PLAY SCOOP UP IF ONLY CHANSEY IS IN PLAY! YOU'LL
AUTOMATICALLY LOSE! Play a Clefairy Doll on your bench
first. Then use Scoop Up on Chansey, which by default,
moves the Clefairy Doll to your Active Position. Then play
Chansey back on your Bench. You can either leave the
Clefairy Doll there for a turn, (letting it get slain), or
you can discard it immediately (moving Chansey up to your
active rank).
- Since the effectiveness of Impostor Prof. Oak is somewhat
limited, you want to play it when your opponent has three
or less cards in his or her hand. If your opponent has a
large starting hand from the Mulligans, you're going to
have to wait a while.
- Both types of Energy Removals as stall cards. Use them to
prevent your opponent from attacking.
- Gust of Wind is also another stall card. Use it to bring
out a Evolved Pokemon, without the necessary Energy to
retreat. If this is one of the big ones (Bastoise,
Alakazam, Zapdos), this should buy you some time.
- The Full Heal is there just in case you get Poisoned.
- Don't play this deck at a tournament! People will beat you
up for playing a deck like this.
