CurseGar Written by Josef Bolton DP-On Format - June 13, 2010 Gengar from the Arceus expansion reintroduced the infamous hit-and-run strategy as a viable contender in today's metagame. I was going to start off this article with a history lesson about the Donphan/Slowking deck that was...

THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DO IT but here we go. A few weeks ago, I play Gallade 4/Luxray GL vs Crim, running a bunch of weird/bad cards like Azelf Lv X. About a week after that, Magnechu plays a solid list vs me, I take it and run with it. Ryan Vergel suggests I add Starmie for the LuxApe...

So it's Thursday afternoon and I don't have a trip to either MA or PA. I scramble to put something together with my friend Randy and stay at his place Friday night. Saturday morning I'm on a Philly subway to the event. I used Gardy/Gallade. Mikey thinks I'm insane, others don't even...

After a couple solid months of playtesting, I was torn between this disruptive Kingdra list I had been working on and the Dialga G deck Ryan Vergel had told me about and helped me learn inside and out. I decided Dialga was probably the better play overall and spend about $50 on cards for...

So there won't be much game detail, since I didn't keep track of too much. I had played Torterra/Sceptile through all of Battle Roads, picking up two 2nd place finishes and a less-than-stellar 2-3 at a third. I decided to pin that on bad luck and me and Omar (IamMexican) changed a couple...

It's a little early, I know, but I was wondering what the plans were in terms of evolving fossils after the next set. Will any Kabuto be able to evolve from both Mysterious Fossil and Dome Fossil? Same with any Omanyte and Helix Fossil.

this is a quick report because people are still asking me how i did, so this is strictly to answer that question. i actually got in quite a bit of testing for this one, mainly with plox. i, for the life of me, could not win games with magmortar and never got comfortable with arithmetic (which i...

Okay I played in two NY cities and did horrible at both of them, I think 2-2 drop at Brooklyn and 2-2 at Manhattan. That followed my 2-2 drop, 3-2 and 2-2 at BRs. I needed somewhere fresh to play. I talked to my friend Jon, a non-Pokemon player, and we somehow got to talking about Philly...

love letter isn't finished yet. instead i run flygon, there's 5 rounds - 40 people zapditto lends me all the essentials from MT round 1 - torterra/vespiquen he doesn't really get set up, so once i get a flygon out i'm getting a prize once every 1 or 2 turns 1-0 round 2 - gengar/nidoqueen i...

I wasn't gonna do one at all, but I had such a fun week Get in Wednesday night, immediately find Team R (Omar was the only one awake at the time though <3) and hang with them. Thursday I overslept so I didn't get to play the modified tourney...hung out with the R's some more as well as AJ...

I'm kinda wondering how many people out there going to Origins this year know of Michael Jackson's Beat It video. Omar and I were talking about how awesome it would be if we could get like...three hundred or so people to just break out in synchronized dancing. So yeah, let's get this thing...

June 2nd - New York, NY The last couple days before the tourney, I go into my usual "I hate every deck in the format" mode. I get there and hang out with Mikey (Magnechu) and family...we decide to both run Shiftry, citing the great matchups we'll have. Round 1 - David C. (pikachual) w/...

This is a deck I've been working on with Zach, Omar, Ryan, etc (Team R) since States. It spreads damage like Destiny, while disrupting to set up KOs later in the game. 3 meditite 3 medicham ex 2 absol ex 1 ray ex d 4 eevee 1 umbreon ex 2 jolteon ex 1 vaporeon ex 1 espeon ex 1 mew ex 1 holon's...

Recently, a bunch of my friends were banned from Pokegym for "bashing" a member of the community, who bashed somebody else with unfair comments. The man had this to say on the subject: just recently i called someone who has these muscle spasms twitchy and asked him how this twitching was...

I heard that if you have one of the GBA games in your DS while playing Diamond/Pearl, some older Pokemon will be avilable in the wild. I put Fire Red in cause I want Growlithe, but do I need the National Dex first? I probably do, but I don't know!

Northeast Regionals, Masters Division I had my heart set on R-Gon for today, plus Omar said to play it. Testing the night before, I felt a lot more comfortable with Destiny...so I borrowed cards from Mikey and MK and went with that. Round 1 - Anthony F w/ Draggy ex d and Flygon d I Licky...

Rules: No overseas Refs rule, I guess bla bla bla WANTS: Mew ex LM Banette ex LM Latios* and I'll check lists Haves: PK HOLOS: Walrein ex Claydol ex Aggron 2x Altaria Banette Blaziken Cradily 2x Kabutops 2x Raichu Slaking PK REVERSES: 2x Altaria Blaziken Cradily...

I won two games on the day, unfortunately there was five rounds...so it wasn't that great. The night before I'm STRUGGLING because I'm thinking of Delta all week, then I start hearing different suggestions from all around. It takes ONE PERSON to say Delta and I'm set, but I should've played...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, but EternalFire pointed something out to me. At Saturday's PA States, I finished 2nd, losing to Pablo G twice. Once during round 6 of Swiss and then in the top 2. At first, the results were reported with me not having lost any points for those losses...
