The deck that won the 10- at worlds was by far the most ingenious deck I've ever seen, and to think it was made by a 10 year-old. But even with the Magnifiers it still has a big problem with resistance, and it's huge weakness to any grass that gets a hit. Here's my version which alleviates the resistance and adds defense(though trading one weakness for another). Also, while the attack is weaker, the Spikes pokemon power compliments the overall strategy of the deck. Another bonus is that Psychic energy can now be used, allowing Slowking to attack if absolutely neccesary.
Metal Mentality
Pokemon: 20 4 Pineco(Destiny) 4 Forretress 4 Slowpoke 4 Slowking 2 Cleffa 2 Tyrogue
Trainers: 24 4 Professor Elm 4 Pokemon Trader 4 Focus Band 4 Gold Berry 4 Balloon Berry 2 Double gust 2 Bill
Energy: 16 8 Psychic 4 Metal 4 Rainbow
What do you think? I know there are alot of tools but they each serve a different purpose(ie: focus bands for babies, Gold Berries for Forretress, Balloon Berries for Slowking) Comments? Suggestions? I'm not including Expedition in this since I have insufficient knowledge of it, but you're welcome to

I've considered this trainer denial babyporter variant as well. It has the advantage of hurting other babyporter decks. I've never tested it out, though. It looks good, but it will have trouble against fire. [ September 18, 2002, 02:27 PM: Message edited by: yoshi1001 ]

I just wanted to say a couple things first. Mindy did not build the deck, she never though of the idea ever. It was brain six who then told me and we playtested like crazy and I helped with some TecH. It is a good deck unless they can shut off powers or just get head flips vs your babies. Six brought up the idea of forretress but that just makes the deck WAY to pichu weak and it does 30 opposed to 50 so 3 hits to kingdra or 4 to d feral opposed to 2 >_< anyways It looks like a good deck just watch out for those muks =\ The only changes are -4 GB because your babies are what stay active not your main pokemon and then add some 1 more tyrogue 2 more B Berry and a Suicune for cool DBG TecH since then after you stick up a baby treat and play your dbg well I gtg laterz btw this is MonkeyMan8889 Im just to lazy to get my old password
-------------------- I dont care about being "original" Ill build and play the deck that I am comforable with. I dont need to play a rogue deck to show Im good. I win with skill.

Why am I not surprised? Thanks for the insight. I understand the point, but when you hit resistance you're screwed. 2 Magnifiers won't do it vs. Crobat. The GB+Metal is more defense-oriented to buy time for extra hits etc....
