sorry...i'm new here...my apology...very sorry...

[dkates]

Two types ... very few Trainers ... two Stage 2's ... high Energy count ... This one just won't do. Focus! Choose one Stage 2 line, and work around it.

[pikachu88]

ic...which should i choose?thanks...^_^

[Pokekid]

Here what I would do if I was building the deck
Poke

3 Poliwag
2 Poliwhirl
3 Politoad
4 Slugma
3 Macargo
2 clefa
2 tyroge

trainers
3 bill
3 prof elm
3 breeders
3 focus band
2 copy cat
2 fisherman
2 oracle
3 switch

NRG

10 fire
10water

[dkates]

Pokekid's idea works, although I might even drop 1-2 each of the Basic Energies from that, probably for Gold Berries and/or Double Gusts.

[pikachu88]

thanks for the reply..^_^

-3 Poliwag
-3 Poliwhirl
-2 Politoed
-1 Shining Gyarados (just not practical)
-1 Cleffa
-1 Gold Berry
-1 Berry
-1 Hyper Potion
-1 Bill
-1 Oracle
-5 Fire Energy
-4 Water Energy

+3 Carvahna
+2 Sharpedo
+3 Moo-Moo Milk
+3 Energy Stadium
+2 Town Volunteers
+2 Copycat
+2 Town Volunteers
+4 Darkness Energy
+3 Energy Charge

Gold Berry's unreliable at best, Berry has cards better than it, and Hyper Potion appears to be a poor substitute for Super Potion (though it does find itself handy in Modified Electrike or Mewtwo EX decks). The Bill-Oracle combo doesn't work with just one of each. Having two Stage 2 lines, while good in some decks, isn't in others. Also, too much Energy.

Sharpedo can do up to 70 damage for {W}{D}{C} (the {D} is the optional discard, and is written as {C} in the Energy cost, meaning you don't need it to attack), and hurts the opponent whenever he or she attacks. Moo-Moo Milk is the reliable Modified healing card. Energy Stadium returns your basic Energy easily, and I added more of both Copycat and Town Volunteers for efficiency. The Energy Charge can return Darkness Energy into the deck for Sharpedo to use again.

[dkates]

Not this again, Carrington. Gold Berry is far better than Moo-Moo Milk! Other than that and Cleffa, though, your suggestions do make a good deal of sense.

[pikachu88]

well this strategy is interesting though

[NatorUltimater]

replay to pikachu99
Yo you need a full-proof way to draw cards.
How about 4 Bills?
4 Professer Oak

BTW: your creatures/pokemon don't look to powerful...
What do you do about decks with 4 Energy Removals?
Or Dragonair with Hyperbeam?
Or even Golduck with Hyperbeam?
to a Koga's Muk

What if your opponent plays Gooping Gas?(to kill off all the babys)

[dkates]

Dragonair, Golduck, and Koga's Muk are all rogue decks -- not to mention, illegal in Modified. This is a Modified deck.

[pikachu88]

and goop gas doesn NOT turn off baby powers...~_~"
1 more thing...it's 88 not 99...~_~"

[pikachu88]

well i've tweaked the deck a little...so i hope to get some comments again...thanks for the help...^_^

energy:17
8 water energy
7 fire energy
1 recycle energy
1 bounce energy

trainers:27
3x fisherman
2x pokemon fan club
2x prof. elm
3x bill
2x oracle
2x town volunteers
2x copycat
2x pokemon breeder fields
2x switch
1x hyper potion
1x gold berry
1x berry
1x healing field
1x underground expedition
1x time shard
1x focusband

pokemon:16
2x poliwag(skyridge)
1x poliwag (destiny)
1x poliwhirl(skyridge)
1x poliwhirl(discovery)
1x poliwhirl(expedition)
2x politoed(skyridge)
1x poliwrath(expedition)
2x cleffa(genesis)
2x slugma(skyridge)
1x slugma(revelation)
2x magcargo(skyridge)

[dkates]

Other than the singles in the Trainer engine (which I think should become something like 3 Gold Berries, 2 Focus Bands and 2 Double Gusts), it's looking a lot better.

[pikachu88]

ok...thanks...^_^

[KingOfDemons]

Take out the fire. If your so scared of Electric Pokemon, keep the Destiny 'Wag line. But if you want splashy-splashy, you have to play with the Skyridge 'Wag line. Skyridge 'Whirl very splashy.

Take out Breeder Fields, and Bounce Energy. Throw in some Traders, Breeder, and some Warp Energy. Here's my 'Toed Deck. It's WOTC Modified though:

Energy:
19 Water
2 Warp Energy

Trainers:
3 Double Gust
3 Professor Elm (Reverse Holo Promo)
3 Oracle
2 Pokemon Breeder
2 Pokemon Trader
2 Fisherman
2 Town Volunteers
2 Gold Berry

Pokemon
2 Neo Genesis Cleffa
2 Promo Cleffa
2 Neo Destiny Tyrogue
2 Neo Genesis Pichu
3 Skyridge Poliwag
3 Skyridge Poliwhirl
3 Skyridge Politoed
3 Fossil Articuno

Maybe this'll help.

[TrueGamerX]

Hmm, lets see. SK Politoed is a very good Stage 2 Pokemon. I should know my NR Kabutops lost to it at Skyridge SBZ :( .
Oh well try this version....

Pokemon:
4 Poliwag (SR)
3 Poliwhirl (SR)
3 Politoed (SR)
3 Cleffa (Promo, NG)
2 Tyrogue
2 Suicine (NR)
1 Pichu

Trainers:
4 Professor Elm
4 Copycat
4 Pokemon Trader
3 Double Gust
3 Gold Berry
3 Breeder
2 Fisherman
1 Towns Volunteers

Energy:
16 Water
2 Warp
