I wanted to thank you for all you have done over the years. A few years back my son went to league for the first time. I made him a deck prior to going and he was trounced (lost every game). I was surprised he wanted to go back. I found your thread and PM'd you asking for your help. You...

This is an old fun deck I used to use when I didn't have any catchers. Now that catchers are less relevant, I figured I'd dig it up and update it. I'm thinking without a turn one attack Emolga might be useless and swapping it for Mr. Mime. Also, 4-4 Garbador is probably overkill and should...

If the defending Pokemon has Eviolite attached to it, how much damage does Crobat's attack do? Is it 20 for the attack and still 4 counters in-between turns or is poison part of the attack and therefore that is also reduced by 20? And if poison is reduced is it just on the initial attack or...

I don't see why. Chess is a thinking and a setup type game. Each player could get 20 or 30 minutes and when time runs out the game is over. I use a chess clock with my son. We each get 20 minutes. I think I ran out of time once and that's because my daughter kept bothering me.

Why don't we use chess clocks? That way stalling only hurts the staller(sic)

I would buy it as well even though I have playble sets of almost every card. I just think it would be of benifit to new and existing players. I have my kid play two decks at league, one is his standard battle deck with catchers (Garchomp), another is a weaker slower deck without catchers...

How do we get this released in the US? Is there a petition or somthing that could be signed by Pokemon leagues or players? I think somthing like this in the US would bring down prices. It would also help players build better decks. When new parents come into a league with their young ones...

He took second place! Thanks for all the help and suggestions. He went into his last match 3-0 and lost to a quad Entei EX deck. He beat a Darkrai/Hydragion, some theme like deck with zekrom, and some deck with emboar/chandelure/reshiram. Now he wants to go to every Battle Road! Thanks...

Thanks for the help; we'll try some of these changes and practice tonight after school. Regards, Eddie

So my 8 year old will be playing in his first Battle Road this Saturday. He'll be using a Garchomp deck. Here's the list: Pokemon (20): 4-3-4 Garchomp (good Chomp) 3-3 Altaria 3 Emolga (CFF) Supporters (11): 4 N 2 Prof. Juniper 2 Bianca 3 Cheren Items (18 ) 4 Catcher 4 Rare Candy 4 Level Ball...
