Round 1: Cedric [Typhlosion Prime/Ursaring Prime]
He goes first. He does 20, 10 to himself. I BTS, Drapion, DCE, 2 Heads, game.
[1-0]

Round 2: My dad -_-' [Bellossom/Vileplume]
I go first, I Azelf and find Drapion Lv. X is prized. This makes me very happy. I use Darkness Grace to evolve my Skorupi and then next turn, I get out the Level X. I won 2-0 in prizes. This was a very back and forth game, but, some well timed draws and 3 Heads on Tri-Poison really sealed the deal for me.
[2-0]

Round 3: Dylan S. [Gengar SF/Gallade 4]
This deck is really annoying. I know I need to get out Vileplume ASAP to stop his Gallade Spam. He gets 2 quick prizes via Gallade 4's 2nd attack. I get Bronzong MD powered up with a Benched Drapion Lv. X [via Warp Energy] and take the game from their w/ Bronzongs Poke-Body/Coating.
[3-0]

Round 4: Z-man [Blaziken FB/Garchomp C]
I start with 2 Unown Q and no supporters. Yep. XD
[3-1]

Round 5: Dave [Eeveelutions]
I get a Drapion Lv. X out T3, and I Scorpion Grapple his Sableye for a ko. He hits me for 80 w/ Umbreon Prime. I Warp Energy to a fresh Drapion.. get heads on Tri-Poison, then paralyze him with Scorpion Grapple. I proceeded to knock it out next turn. He had nothing left after that.

Top 4:
Z-man [Blaziken FB/Garchomp C]
Game 1: I lose in a close match after he ko's Vileplume, then does Triple Crobat G, Garchomp C X snipe for his last 2 prizes.

Game 2: I get the lock up and running Turn 2. He has trouble dealing with Scorpion Grapple. When it is 1-1, I Cynthia's Feelings for 4 since I know I need another energy to the 2nd attack, in which I need 3 heads [I had a Special Dark]. I get another Sp. Dark and proceeded to attack.. Heads..Tails..Heads...Heads! gg

Game 3: He Luring Flames Vileplume up a few times and it gets to 100 damage. So, the Majority of the game it sits there while I keep using Grapple and stopping him from really hurting me. My hand for about 6 turns was Oddish, Gloom, Bebe's Search, BTS. I was going to use it when he Garchomp'd my Vileplume. However, the turn after I knocked out a Crobat G, he did Bebe's Search for a Crobat G. I knew what i had to do. I Bebe's Searched for a Bellossom UD, used it power, healed, putting myself out of 2 Bat Range. I had figure he was going to Double Bat me, and then so trainer crazy. I had predicted correctly. I took control after that and won.

Finals:
xcfrisco [Luxchomp]
Game 1:
Close game. I know he has Drifblim UD so I try and get the Drifloon ko'd via the Level X's attack.. however, he uses Ambipom G to move my DCE away from Drapion onto an Azelf. I use Tri-Poison for Heads, Warp energy to Azelf and pass. He then ko's Azelf with Blim. I bring up Drapion and ko it, and do 40 to his Uxie. The next turn he Bright Looked up Vileplume UD for 120 and the ko via Uxie X. On my turn I played my Luxury Ball and got Vileplume back out[via my Gloom I had on the field]. I then did the Level x's attack for ko [via Sp. Dark]. In the final turn, he brought up Garchomp C [w/70], Level'd Up and attached DCE. I proceeded to Derail the DCE, assuring I had the game.

Game 2:
I scooped 2nd turn. <3

Game 3: He ko'd my Skorupi Turn 2 which really hurt. I was playing from behind, and knew there wasn't enough time for me to catch up. Right as I was gaining momentum.. he did Professor Oak's Theory.. he needed a Garchomp C Lv. X for the win.. his last card.. a Garchomp C Lv. X :p

Well, I had a great time, got 2nd, traded for a foil Sneasel, woo!

Slops:
~ The guy from Arizona who asked my sister "What, did you fail math or something in school?" When she didn't know how much damage she did [which wasn't really relevant since it was a Fighting v Dark, and was a total oh 160 damage.. oh.. and the guy got it wrong too... he said 120.]
~ My dad playing my sister and I the first two rounds.

Only pro-players can take some of pokegym's lackluster ideas and turn into top table decks :thumb:


GGs man. Yours and Zachs matches were some of the best I've ever had playing pokemon <3
 
I: I gotta put you in my props :p
X: haha, nawww... They were fairly good games [except for that 2nd one] :p
 
I tried it Sat. and went 0-4 with three of the games close. I think I'll try it one more time but will have to buy some new dice that flip heads. The Bellossum looks like a good tech. I will also have to try it. Later , Have fun.
 
If I wasn't working Saturday (Came in during my break haha) I would have been playing Drapion too... lol
