this looks like a pretty good build, we run a 2-1 uxie lv x line to help with slow start/to increase draw also plus you can always cycle him under with psychic restore if he gets in the way.

saying if the effect of the attack adds more damage,
it wouldn't do that since Unknown G turns off the
effect...Of course it doesn't take away damage!

This is exactly wrong. Unown G does not change the amount of damage the attack would do, even if the damage is set by wording in the text.

Example 1: Toxicroak G's Deep Poison states: If the Defending Pokemon is Poisoned, this attack does 20 damage plus 40 more damage.
~Both the normal 20 damage and the 40 additional damage are damage effects, which are specifically not prevented by Unown G's Guard PokePower.

Example 2: Weavile G's Team Attack states: Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each SP pokemon you have in play.
~All of that effect is damage, so none of that effect is prevented by Unown G. Weavile G would still calculate the number of SP pokemon you have in play, then deal an amount of damage equal to 10+(10*# of SPs)

Example 3: Parasect (MT)'s Wild Spores states: (20) If Parasect was Evolved from Paras during your turn, this attack's base damage is 40, and the Defending Pokemon is Asleep and Poisoned.
~In this case, Unown G prevents the Sleep and Poison, but not the 40 damage.

Example 4: Machamp (SF)'s Take Out states: (40) If the Defending Pokemon isn't an Evolved Pokemon, that Pokemon is Knocked Out instead of damaged by this attack.
~If the pokemon targetted by Take Out is a Basic pokemon, Take Out knocks out the Defending Pokemon instead or doing damage. If that Basic pokemon has Unown G attached, it will prevent the auto-KO effect. If Take Out attacks an evolved pokemon with Unown G attached, it will still do 40 damage.
 
damage, and anything that calculates damage is never, ever ever ever, an effect of an attack, describing damage as any type of an affect is what's confusing this person, and regardless the TEXTS that are calculating damage on all of these cards, are not only NOT effects of any sort but they are applyed to the ATTACKING pokemon, the TEXT for weaviles damage is happening to weavile, not the defending pokemon so even if the TEXT was an EFFECT it still wouldn't be prevented by unkown g

the only reason damage from machamps attack is prevented, is because the TEXT states that it doesn't do damage to a basic pokemon ever, INSTEAD OF DOING DAMAGE, it applies an EFFECT to the defending pokemon, this affect knocks it out, if effects done to that pokemon are prevented, such as unkown guard, or anticipation pokebody, then nothing will happen, because THE WORDING ITSELF states that instead of damage an effect is applyed, this affect like many others is prevented by unkown g, anything done to a defending pokemon with unkown g is prevented, except ANY damage and ANY thing that calculates damage,

placing damage counters is an affect of an attack not DOING damage, so that IS prevented think of it instead as asking you to place any random object onto the card like "place 5 pennies" except that it still counts towards the remaining hp of the pokemon
 
He means Power Spray.

He won a non-US Province/Territory.

Can you explain how this deck is supposed to run with only 3 Stadiums?
 
I won a Norwegian States in Oslo ( The Capital).

I have uppdated the list so it really is the one I used that day.

Assassin_Thief: I have considered all suggestions I have got on the deck, I have even tryed them out. And are you really so good as you say? What place did you get in 2008 World Championchip? Or where you there at all?

Thanks for the congratz anyway.
