The Idead is to abuse the fact that alot of decks run babies and Focus Bands

3 Nidoran Male (LC)
2 Nidorino (1 LC, 1 Aq)
3 Nidoking (Aq)
2 Onix (LC)
2 Steelix (Aq)
3 Dratini (NDe)
1 Draganair
1 Dark Dragonair
2 Dragonite
2 Cleffa
1 Aipom (NG)

2 Professor Oaks Research
1 Copycat
2 Jugglers
2 Forrest Gaurdians
2 Towns Volunteers
3 Elm
3Breeders
2 Switch
1 Warp Point
2 Energy Stadium

7 Fighting
5 Grass
4 Metal
2 Warp

The deck Idea, though hefty, is to get Multipule Kings out with Dragonite(s) allowing them to retreat for free. Flipping 2-3 times a turn for Nidokings Power, killing off Pokemon with Focus bands without a flip for the band, and Babies in a matter of turns, usually 2! The only problem I have is that the deck doesnt support Dragonites attack. Its not great, but if it is forced active, I can only retreat it.

PS any sugestions to remove Aipom will be ignored. PILFER ROCKS!!!

add Dark Magcargo.

If you don't mind going into Unlimited, try adding Minefield Gym.

Minefield gym has everyone flip acoin when playing a Basic (babies too) if tails, they get 2 damage counters.

Dark Magcargo (if Active) does 10 damage to all Basic and Baby Pokemon when they are put into play. So this combo would posibly kill babies in one turn, without attacking...

AND Dark Magcargo's attack lets you discard a F energy in order to do 20 damage to a Benched Pokemon. SO alone it would destroy a Benched Baby.

'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!

#1 Rule, Metal Energy stays in the deck. Check out Nidoking and imagine him with 1-2 Metal Energies on him. Power places Damage counters, Attack does high damage even with Metal, and it helps its 110 HP as well

2 Minus's in droping Dragonite for Dodrio.

1) To get 2 free retreats and attack with a third I would need to have 3 Dodrio's and 3 NidoKings as apposed to 2 Dragonites a 3 Nidokings.

2) Dodou doesnt evolve into a Dark Dragonair to find quick evolutions.

1 Major plus is atleast Dodrio could attack.
