after my performance last saturday i was debating on whether to use slowking again....i made a few changes....thanks to seena and tennis...DX jirachi > r meowth and birch and reversals = good .... lol so i was like hmm dragtrode....muk...bad roklok....or slowking......i said witw ill do slowking

my list that i used on saturday ....

37
4 steve
4 TVR
4 rocket ball
3 birch
4 reversal
4 charm
4 shard
4 swoop
3 reteiver
3 buffer peice

12
4 jirachi
4 MA slowpoke
4 king

11
7 psychic
4 dark

i felt pretty confident on my arrival at the many non grass decks and weak psychic....i sat down and chatted, met up with clay, jordan, kettler, matt, tyler, fish, mpb, george, demetre, andrew, and all the others i fergot lol.....eventually i got my deck cheacked and the GBa tourny began....

i was very torn between gengar and shuckle for the day.....i decided to use my shickle since the box has been his prison for a looooong time....we opened with a simple game with trent witch ended up with him accidently running....:-(

next match was with george...he had the stupid vader thing on and i was like >=/ lol bad start with him facing my heracross, i expected him to switch on my endure and then KO.....but he just attacked......ugh.....but it was an all around easy game...shuckle destroyed his entire team....loser lol....

finally the infamous clay who every one thinks is the gba god...well, i opened with heracross lol (tweeserhead - his invention) and i predicted to a perfect T every one of his moves....if he was retreating or not attack or switching...clay is the worst bluffer ever....."awww man, i might aswell let my alakazam be killed by your earthquake" and instead i endured his aerodactyl's wing attack and went to 1 HP....my salac activated and i was fast enough to reversal alkazam and aerodactyl.....his last pokemon the need-to-be-banned latios@soul dew....killed my heracross, killed my marowak and it was left to shuckle.....toxic, double team, double team, double team........gg

lol.....next i got the bye and then played a guy(sorry fergot name) and he was not expecting my heracross to endure reversal rofl.....shuckle took out his last two pokemon and i got first......

in my prizes i got rc, 2 bf, 3 matrix, and a scott....and the cool plaque of course....

so i went outside and played a few games......lost to a precon deck........my only pokemon jirachi was weak to his charmeleon... >:-0 rofl

after 2 hours of the boring raffles.....lol...pencils, pens, and boxtoppers oh my! 0 _ 0.....finally the pairings cale out of the busted computer.....

after Truk proclaiming i would go 0 - 3 and drop, i was dtermined to prove him wrong

ROUND ONE - mike mullin (dark magneton/zappy)
oh wow....all i saw was 1 dark magneton, 1 magnemite, 2 rattata, some eletrics, and a masterball.........wow.......T5 gg
1 - 0

ROUND TWO - Anthony Gill (salamence)
Great game dude...your suprises were a suprise, changing to sally to send up wut you want, then changing to sallyex to KO.....nice....but the one thing my deck fears the most is bench hitters....my low hp cant stand all the hits.....but i would gracefully take the loss...
1 - 1

ROUND THREE - Joann Collins (manecex/zap)
This was the best zap out of the four there, the best was andrews.....but this one was good....she put up a great fight, but after she swapped zappys and failed on the scoop ups, my reversals were nightmares.....great game Joann!
2 - 1

lunch
nothing happend...i saw two black guys walk bye with their pants at their shins....0 _ o....rofl

ROUND FOUR - brad allred (medicham)
OMG11!!!1111eleventyone1!!!!!!!owned11 this was terible....i went first, attached psychic, humbly used amnesia on his tackle on meditite....he attached fighting ended......i attached psy, evolved to king, discarded 2 tools for 160 T2.............gg
3 - 1

ROUND FIVE - Susan Collins (blaze)
second best game all day.....definantly not the closest though (thats later >=/) slugfest right out of the gates.....It was most definantly my most exciting game ever.....it came down to me stalling by sending up stuff to die and dodging her molly as much as possible....T8 i send up my king with one dark up to fight her molly......all i needed was a dark to KO it and draw my last 2 prizes....if i didnt get a dark, i couldnt kill molly and then it would kill my king. I draw............and holy hell its a dark.......i never topdeck and i was stupendisly amazed......dark charm discard 2 gg.......no very gg thanks susan for such a close game, you put up a hell of a fight.....
4 - 1

ROUND ONE IN TOP 8 - Clay carney (blaze)
match one
very bad start on his side....i rip through all his basics and he survived for awhile with his torchic sleep attack.....but drew into nothing.....he got no prizes off of me.....
6 - 1

match two
exactly the opposite, he dominated me....i got no energy for the first 4 turns and was left to stalling the best i could but got nothing.....
6 - 2

final match
this was the best game all day....i got an early T2 lead....he figured i would win because i got first prize....i cunninged his blazes and supporters away from top but he celios for the delcatty and drew into everything he needed......it came down to 2 prizes for me, 1 for him....he was very cocky on his rocket admin to scvrew me over in one card, but i got a birch roflmao.....i drew everything i needed to win....i had it, i won.....reversal.........tails. >=-0 i would of sent his ray up, shard king, discard 1 for KO and draw my last 2 prizes........but instead, i had to do 90 to his second last FS blaze.......he went and obviously retreated the damaged blaze......i was sitting there, on turn away from winning, needing to topdeck a rversal to send out the 10 HP left blaze......nothing......i eventually fell for a loss......i am still very dissapointed in this and decided to change my deck to put in 1 tricky gym :-(
6 - 3

*long painful sigh* i can still have a chance to get to worlds.....i was stupid to think a slowking would win a GC......im an idiot

woo, I had no idea how close that game between you and Joann was. Seems blaze is a bad matchup for you. Oh well, I would have kicked your butt if I hadn't been round 1 luckbagged by a rock lock.. :mad:

It isn't worth anything, butI beat you the next two fun games we had *game two was also luckbag, game three was a close win :smile:*!

Well Weldon, good job! You did an outstanding job, and you chose a good T2 deck to go with that day.
 
you shouldve played pows over reversals :/

or at least gone half and half

if you had you wouldve won

Slowking very rarely gets down in prizes so pow! isn't needed

If i am ever down in prizes i am most likely gonna lose......so pow isnt as useful as you think....dark slowking is most of the time the first to grab the prize....and from there doesnt get behind......
