Ok, now I was playing at league last week and someone offered to take me to regionals for free!!! Now I will just say financial reasons are why I am not playing anymore... so this was cool and I figured sure I will go. Don't go expecting me to show up at all these major events, because they cost a lot... so I will most likely just attend my BR's here. You can yell and bash me all you want, but I just wanted you guys to know what happened and why I went to regionals. So Cobi,Wood,Coates,Draek you can say all you want, but I won't be going to all these OMG events unless something drastically turns for the better and the crappy situation I am in gets turned around. You guys will see me @ worlds since I had already made plans before all of this.

Now I didn't really have a lot of "good" cards left so I figured, hey let's see if Pokegym Haters were right about Beedrill losing horribly to Dialga. Here's the thing, its worst matchup is Gengar Varients, not Dialga. You can say "Deafen GG" and yet Phione says no. Also, Beedrill makes you have T1 Deafen, because if you don't, you are going to play from behind.

Badrill:
Pokemon: 21
4 Weedle
4 Kakuna
4 Beedrill
2 Baltoy
2 Claydol
2 Uxie
1 Uxie Lv. x
1 Phione MD #12
1 Azelf LA

Trainers: 31
4 Poke Radar
3 Great Ball
3 Night Maintenance
4 Roseanne's Research
4 Bebe's Search
3 Rare Candy
3 Broken-Time Space
1 Warp Point
1 Buck's Training
1 Cynthia's Feelings
3 Super Scoop Up
1 Luxury Ball

Energy: 8
4 Multi
4 Grass

So I get there and people ask why I am there and I explain the whole situation, and they understand why I am there.

Round 1: Dialga
He goes first and Honcho's command so he can get ready to deafen me Turn 2. I Get 3 Kakuna's out and warp to let him bring his D active so I can use Phione, I had 3 Beedrill's Turn 2. I did buck's to ohko his dialga and he really had nothing. My field: Beedrill, Beedrill, Beedrill, Phione, Claydol, Uxie.
1-0

Round 2: Magmortar/Togekiss
He had an ok start, but didn't get an energy. I had 3 Beedrill's turn three and when he got out Magmortar I had a forth one set up.
2-0

Round 3: Drapion
He was like WOO I have an amazing start. I start with Uxie.. go 1st, drop Azelf, get uxie x. he pachi's for stuff and I go lvl. up.. My top 2 were Uxie LA or Radar.. I went with Uxie LA... I drop an energy and my BTS and Uxie... Roseanne's, Great Ball, Bebe... I GB for Baltoy, Bebe for Claydol, draw 4... SSU heads... Radar for 2 Kakuna and a weedle, I great ball for another weedle, I have 3 Drill's at the end of turn 3. He did catch up, but the game was always mine to lose and not his to win[if that makes any sense].
3-0

Round 4: Toolbox
He got a T1 ko on my Weedle, but I let an uxie get ko'd so I had a turn to set up my 3 Beedrills to OHKO all of his pokemon. Whenever he would knock one out, the next turn I had it right back up.
4-0

Round 5: Dialga
He starts with Honchkrow and does stuff to get stuff. Lol. I get 2 kakunas and a Claydol set up on my turn and I do some moves to allow him to burn his Power Sprays early, since I was 99% sure he only used 3. He knocked out my Phione but by that time I was set up, I OHKO'd a few things and I was up 2-1. He did a cool move and knocked out my beedrill, but I just brought up Uxie Lv. x and OHKO'd his Toxicroak G FTW. Before he goes and reports his sour grapes about this match, I did top deck some things to get some knock outs.
5-0

Round 6: Toolbox[The guy who won] :lol:
It was like Round 4. He could of had the donk but he didn' tget it and I was basically set up after my first turn. It was a fun game though.
6-0

Round 7: Machamp
I will not disclose who this person is to save them. :D
I donked his Machop with Kakuna.
7-0

Before this game I was asked "You are playing Machamp huh?" "Nope, Beedrill" "BEEDRILL?!?!?!"

Round 8: GeChamp
He T1 donked me with Gengar lol..
7-1

So I went 7-1 in swiss... with Beedrill...

T16: Gengar
I had T2 Claydol 4 Time's and 3 Beedrill. He did get it to 2-1 but I ko'd his uxie with my uxie.
8-1

T8: GeChamp[My list]
I already knew I lost this because Gengar is pretty much Beedrill's loss.
This was the sum of our match:
Gengar: 5/5 Heads
Beedrill: 1/6 SSU

So People congratulate me on using Beedrill and were like HOW DO YOU DO IT? lol..

props:

Congrats. I hate flipping. I played a flippy card for (SSU,BTS begs for SSU) for the first time since NEO at states, but it did let me down a bit, sigh. Anyway, go Beedrill... nice work for 9 rounds. Good stuff.
 
Grats on losing to your own creations (close enough) 2 regionals in a row Josh. :thumb:

Really though, was cool that you could make it out here to play, and good job making top 8 with a deck only slightly less weird than mine. ;/
 
^He used Honchkrow on his first turn to set himself up for the Turn 2 Deafen.

Ahh, the way its worded I thought it was implied he deafened on his 2nd turn, and on your second turn you got 3 kakunas followed by evoing them via bts and phione or something, but I see you're talking about 2 different turns.

Gratz either way
 
I did not think that beedrill could be used until Rising Rivals but I was proved wrong. Great job on top 8. Which regionals did you go to.
 
^And that's why i was not 100% sure lol. I feel bad though, you should have won that game hands down.
DarkTwins: Thank ya verymuch. It means a lot coming for a great player :)
yoyo: added yeah !
 
wow gj i still knew that bedrill was a at least a tier 1 or 2 deck lol ive loved berdrill since rockband lol wich great ,list i might have to break out my old bedrill cards i have stored away and try it out when the new set comes out lol.
 
Great job! Everyone that made the top cut there did a fantastic job.
Good luck at Worlds.

Now I know why all of the old STS's on the Queen Mary were such a blast.
 
Horray for making Top 8!!
We were all rooting for you to get first!
It really is too bad you lost to your own list =((
 
So here is "maybe" some good news for you.
We were discussing nationals yesterday, we're still not 100% sure if we are going but, if we are and if you would like to go too, then we would like to kindly offer to take you to nationals with us. But of course this is very early in the process as we like to (or atleast they like to) plan things at the last minute. I will bring you updates of our planning (if it should happen) when and if we make them.
