Author Topic: The sting of many colors. Maverick Hunter Zero Member # 6223 posted June 07, 2003 10:15 PM             I've been tooling around with this since... about september. It's changed radically since then, but more or less kept the same idea. Pokemon: 16 3 Ho-oh lv. 44 3 Bulbasaur (EX, 50 HP) 2 Ivysaur (EX) 3 Venusaur (EX, Harvest Bounty) 2 Tyrogue 3 Cleffa Trainers: 29 3 Professor Elm 3 Professor Oak's Research 1 Town Volunteers 3 Double Gust 3 Gold Berry 3 Pokemon Breeder 3 Focus Band 3 Pokemon Trader 3 Healing Fields 2 Switch 2 Pokemon Fan Club Energy: 15 3 Electric Energy 3 Water Energy 3 Fire Energy 3 Fighting Energy 3 Grass Energy Fairly simple, quickly turn Ho-oh into a powerhouse with Venusaur. Heal, keep up as seen fit with other cards. The only real problem I've been having is the inability to get out energy as quickly as I'd like... So any help would be appreciated with this. I'm also trying to decide between Healing Fields and Energy Stadium. I've USED Healing Fields in it the whole time, and it seems to help. (On those rare occasions where I can outlast the opponent, forcing them to deck themselves) Energy Stadium on the other hand wouldn't quite be so beneficial to the opponent. Meh, I've only had time to look over the AQ and Skyridge cards once, I haven't had quite enough money/time to buy any or keep up, so some help here would be nice. -------------------- http://www.mhzs-lair.com AIM: MasterHunterZero [email protected] http://mhz.deviantart.com It's not cowardly to run.

I really don't agree with the switches ESP with Harvest Bounty Venusaur... you are almost good to retreat anyone you wish. BUT you MUST get SKYRIDGE: Fisherman <- went into MY HoOH deck... Supporter BUT you can get into your hand from your dicard pile 4 BASIC ENERGY cards IT belongs in Harvest Bounty & HoOH decks. Goodluck & hope to see ya' MAYBE Comic-Con? PS How about a TecH ebuzz? Esp with WATER being so popular?

I'm having trouble getting energy quickly. So most of the time, any energy I get is laid down IMMEDIATELY. It all goes straight to Ho-oh. Works nicely with Double Gust, and play testing it just seems to work smoother... Although ditching both for two energy (possibly Warp Energy?) could be done. The Fisherman I'll check out, must missed that one. I'll also consider Electabuzz. This deck here was last updated BEFORE the Best promos, I believe... As for Comic-con, I've got Finals next week, so for the last month or two I've been unable to keep up with ANYTHING not related to school. Where can I get some info on that? -------------------- http://www.mhzs-lair.com AIM: MasterHunterZero [email protected] http://mhz.deviantart.com It's not cowardly to run.

It is a 1 card for 1 basic, instead of 2 cards for any energy. Since there are no special energy in this deck....... Hmmmmm, only fix I see is -4 Energy (1Lightning, 1Fire, 1Fighting, 1Water) +4 Energy (2Grass, 2Psychic) With Venus needing 2 Energy to be Grass, threw in a few extra, and with Psychic added to deck, Ho-oh can go for maximum damage, 90 Drop 1 Healing Feilds for a Fisherman. there is always Energy Ark, lets you flip to search for up to and including 2 energy. Seer in AQ, a Supporter that looks at top 6 cards of your deck, and puts all basic into your hand. -------------------- To evolve, treat Eevee poorly, when it hates your guts, let it get ko'ed in th night while holding Spell Tag.

With Hooh being weak to water it makes me want to play lightning.. so I'd have expected to see elekid in there. elekid isn't great but it doesn't need energy to do damage and that has to be good while you are pumping Hooh. All you have to do is hide behind something ungustable and you should have a nice big threat ready by turn 4 or 5. now if only I could figure out how to implement my own advice LOL [BTW Fisherman works great with venusaur] [ June 08, 2003, 03:31 PM: Message edited by: NoPoke ] -------------------- ======================================== 'Good News' or 'Bad News' but NOT NO NEWS some people brag about their tournament results, me I'm gonna brag??? about what players have managed to get past me LOL -------Hoodwinked---(things I won't get wrong again...)------ 'legal stalling' : game loss at least 'only joking' on misreported match results: DQ Yep its that serious!

Seer is a must and so is Fishermen or Super energy retrievel, also for fun you may want to add in MYSTERY PLATE: Healing Oasis. Searching for 3 energy or removing all damage from a ho-oh can be an awesome move. anyhow good luck Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged Maverick Hunter Zero Member # 6223 posted June 08, 2003 08:45 PM             Hm. Seer also seems to be a good idea, although I'm not sure what exactly I could ditch for some of these cards. I've thought of getting rid of the Venusaur line, but that's just part of the deck. (That and it's saved my butt many MANY times, if I can place about 10 energy in FIVE turns, I'm off fairly good I'd say) Any ideas for what to get rid of? I already know I have plenty of drawing power for POKEMON, just not energy... -------------------- http://www.mhzs-lair.com AIM: MasterHunterZero [email protected] http://mhz.deviantart.com It's not cowardly to run.

Electabuzz is for water, very splashable and 60-80 damage vs. water for 2 energy. You may want to play 1 Electabuzz and add 1 Fisherman supporter My 2 cents. I put Ho-Oh with Xatu, Use Xatu (skyridge) with a rainbow and TM's to confuse/sleep while I build up Ho-Oh on bench. It is a fun deck not sure about its tournament worthiness though... -------------------- 33 and love Pokemon From: Sandy OR | Registered: Sep 2002  |  IP: Logged bulbasnore Member # 703 posted June 12, 2003 05:12 PM            Good for you concentrating on finals. Comic Con in San Diego is referenced in a message on the TCG News board here and a web page you can patrol. Hope you'll be there! No-Gust Raikou or Suicune/EXP Clefable/Warp NRG seems like a possible alternative to HB Venusaur for Ho-oh. -------------------- Pokemon TCG is a game for all ages. 6th Place June 2002 WCSC Professor Draft 6th Place July 2003 Comic Con Fan Appreciation Tourney From: Where you play a kid's game and never T8 in it! | Registered: Feb 2001  |  IP: Logged
