Due to an overseas move, I will have to quit playing the Pokemon TCG for at least 2 years. Thus, this will be my last post on the 'Gym for a while. Thank you to everyone on here who has ever helped or commented on my decks, tournament reports, or any other things that I have posted. You guys...

In the days leading up to Regionals I wasn't so sure about what I was going to play. Magnezone/Regirock was the deck I played for States, and I did OK with that. However, I knew it could beat LuxChomp and VileGar, but I didn't like its consistency against those decks. So I started testing other...

Well, I've been gone a while. High school Cross Country, Robotics, and a full Gifted/Honors courseload has caused me to be away from the card game all through BRs and Cities. Thus, MS States was going to be my first Masters tournament, and I was really looking forward to it. After seeing and...

I don't know for sure how popular Umbreon will be at States, but I think it will see a little play as a tech due to its ability to completely wall-off Gengar Prime, Gengar, and any other Pokemon with a Poke-Power or Poke-Body. I, for one, would like to tech against it if possible. Is there...

I've heard about this deck, and seen a couple of threads go up in Deck Help and Strategy over the past few months, and I've tried to build a BlazeChomp deck. It seems like it has potential against non-SP decks after the rotation, and I've managed to fit in a 2nd Psychic Energy and a Mewtwo line...

The 2009-2010 season was my last year in Seniors. Starting during the 2010-2011 season, I will be a Master. I have made top cut at pretty much every event I've attended this year as a Senior, I've performed well against lots of players at large events, and I have a lot of fun playtesting with...

LA, USA Rules: 1. I send in the US only. 2. Pokegym Rules apply. 3. Ref Rule applies. 4. I really don’t care about condition, as long as the card is usable for tournament play. If the card is scratched up, has dirt marks on it, has creases, etc., I will still trade for it. 5. “Played”...

Looking at the current format, a lot of decks rely on Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies. While some Poke-Powers in this format are a one-time use, like Bright Look, Set Up, Flash Bite, Healing Breath, and others, cards like Claydol are being used every turn. Some Poke-Bodies are also popular. Time...

Hey guys, Yesterday, I got bored, so I wondered into the store where I sometimes go for league. I know the store is very popular as a hangout place for WoW and Magic players, and many of the Magic players also know how to play Pokemon. I played a few Pokemon games, then I played a few Magic...

I've been browsing the Deck Help and Strategy forum for quite a while (as in a couple of months) and one thing I've noticed is that a lot of Blastoise/Feraligatr decks have been popping up. I am wondering why they are popping up when the deck does not seem to be doing well. The deck requires...

Hello everyone, I’m sorry this is a little late. My family drove from our home in southern Louisiana to Nationals instead of flying. We made a straight shot for Indianapolis, but decided to make a vacation out of the trip on the way home. So, I was stuck in places like Mammoth Cave in...

Hello everyone, I was wondering about how much the following sleeves are valued at. Blue Arceus Japanese Sleeves Red Palkia Japanese Sleeves Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help!

*To all my traders who have received my cards but have not received refs from me: I am leaving for Nats and will not be back for a while. Thus, I will not be able to receive mail for a while. As soon as I get back, I will look at the mail that has accumulated over the course of my vacation, and...

If you’ve ever posted a deck in the “Deck Help and Strategy” section of the Pokegym, chances are I’ve come on and posted a bit of advice. I hope my numerous posts in that section show that I have a good knowledge of many decks (which I believe I do). So it would seem that someone with good...

Hello everyone, I’m Aaron H. of Seniors, and here is my Regionals report. I was planning to go to Houston Regionals, but my Robotics team did well in our competition, so we were invited to attend the FRC Robotics National Championship in Atlanta from April 15-17. So, I changed travel plans...

Hello everyone, I’m Aaron H. of Seniors. This is a 3-in-1 report. Below is my LA States Report, then my MS States Report, and then the MS Team Play Championship Report. LA States Going into this, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to play. I had experienced success in Cities...

Hello, I was wondering if I used one of Rampardos' (Platinum) attacks, would its Poke-Body, "Iron Skull", bypass the effects of Special Metal Energies attached to the Defending Pokemon. Example: My Rampardos uses "Head Smash" against an opponent's Pokemon with 2 Special Metal Energies...

Hello everyone, I’m Aaron H. of Seniors. I recently went to a prerelease in Albany, LA. I was going primarily to have fun, but I also really wanted a RH Dunsparce, which I eventually got. I was one of the first ones there, so I register and play some practice games. I am seriously...
