About The Cleaner...

A correction to make:

The Cleaner is not just a deck based around Base Arcanine. It is a status effect deck created by The Impossible Man and used pokémon like Base Koffing and Tangela to draw out opponents' ERs. After some KOs by the status effect pokémon, the Stage 1 Cleaner (traditionally Base Arcanine) would come down to clean the bench or the prizes. The original versions of the deck contained no rares.

Any Stage 1 (or basic if it has a baby form) pokémon that could consistently deal out 50+ damage a turn was eligible for the Cleaner role.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I think he's referring to the SS being the political army of Nazi Germany during WWII. They were famous for their absolute ruthlessness, both on and off the battlefield.

Prerelease Raichu: Supposedly the rarest card, next to one-of-a-king cards given away to the winners of major Japanese Tournaments and the like. ie "Or is that as hard to find as a Pre Rai?"

Whiscash: A flawed/flawless (depending on who you ask ;p) counter to Blaziken ex. It is usually used when someone is either trying to think of a way to counter the Blaziken variant, or is using a very sub-par deck. (ie omg this sucks. Go play Whiscash)

Mex: Mewtwo Ex

Phanpy/Teddiursa/Pichu: Three Pokemon plush dolls given out to the winners of City Championships. Used along the lines of pseudo-topdecks, and even jokes

BW: Backwash (program on apprentice for stacking the deck)
 
"Mize - To completely crush the oponent."

Explain the phrase:

"That's a MIZE hand"

or

"My grade were just MIZE"

Sry guys, I've been neglectful... Shame on Swampy! I updated the encyclopedia so all you n00bs out there can figure out what us seasoned players are talkin bout ;). Anymore suggestions??

Kingdra Center (also referred to as KingCenter) - a deck whose primary strategy is to use Kingdra from the Neo Revelation set (because of the Genetic Memory attack and Kingdra also has no weakness) and Pokemon Center to heal massive amounts of damage. It was one of the most used decks in the 2002 Worlds.
 
SNF (Smacking a Napoleon in the Face): When you are fighting an archetype deck with some powerful evolved Pokémon at its core (perhaps a Stage 2 ex card) and all that person has is 1 Basic Pokémon, the Basic Pokémon form of that card, and you kill it in 1 or two turns and win the game.
