Yes, you can (play pokemon that you draw due to mulligans before the game starts). You just can't replace your active with it, though.
Your most PRO move! (Or were a witness to a PRO move.) Come share!

THOSE are the kind of moves I wanna hear about. This is a perfect example of what this thread needs.
And that win was amazing. Guy really knew his stuff.
Most pro move? Happened in one of our summer camps meant to train our people going to worlds. I started with Voltorb, energy and some trainers. He plays Magneboar, starts with Cleffa and Tepig. I start the game, attach Lighting, played judge, flipped Heads from Magnetic Bomb, and killed Cleffa. Both of us drew pretty much crap, but he got a bit better hand. He does stuff, I topdeck Electrode Prime, evolve, attach Fire, and search some basics with Dual Ball. Then I start Gigashocking. He evolves stuff, plays a supporter, Rare Candyd to a Magnezone Prime, and evolved a Tepig to a Badboar. I started my turn once again, not seeing a supporter, but a reversal. Heads. Badboar up front, and I start to bomb the bench and front with Gigashocks. For some reason he cannot get Badboar out, so I'm able to Gigashock for five times, grabbing, two prizes from the Badboar and a benched Magnemite?Cleffa?Tepig?
During this time I get some supporters and pull my game together. After he kills my Electrode Prime, I blow up another one, attach all of the energy to a RDL, three energies, and Outrage the Magnezone Prime. He gets an Emboar, attaches fire energies everywhere, and kills my zekrom. I kill his magnezone with Boolt strike, get Kod again, and finish the game with RDL.
So I came up with a wee bit unorthodox strategy, aggro Electrode. It worked, but hasn't worked that well afterwards. Voltorbs are still useful for killing Cleffas.

Well, heres something that had some luck involved and great entertainment, enjoy.

Eleki with HoPe Vs Chris(me) with Dialga Chomp/1-1 Claydol
So the game starts off with him getting sprays and crap ready for my claydol drop and I have a terrible start. He gets the first 5 prizes and Its my turn I have a tanked dialga on the bench. I poke turn garchomp x, going into dialga with 4 SP metals. Remove lost a bat for KO, he goes and stalls a bit while I take prizes, I'm mounting a comeback. so its about 3-1 his favor, he goes into a staraptor and does 30 with his attack where he discards a stadium, at this moment, i have alot of damage on my dialga (i think 80) and I make a pro move here, go into garchomp and attempt to heal... he sprays... I wanted him to use the spray, I drop crobat, poketurn crobat, and remove lost for KO. so its 2-1 his favor still. he goes into mewtwo, lvs up, plays nrg, and uses that attack where he gets nrg from discard onto mewtwo. So its my turn and i'm thinking its game cuz i need to get 2 heads in a row on lost remover for the win, I lost remover and get 5 heads in a row :O.... so hes at 80. he has nothing left, I believe he trys to use promocroak but he has no resorces to set it up for next turn. so he passes. i go and KO the promocroak. he goes and pulls something really unexpected and trys to kill me with a belted sableye with crobat drops but he had no nrg left. so it was game....
this game was amazing and probably the best game i have ever played. I mean i came back from a 6-1 prize lead.

Wow I was misinformed. Or maybe it's changed since I played last (a couple years ago) but if not that's a couple donks that could have been avoided. And I think the league leader told me that too :nonono:
But on topic, I was playing a rogue and got 2 Nidoqueen and 2 Nidoking (MT/SF) out like turn 3 then topdecked a PlusPower and flipped 2 heads three turns in a row totally destroying his entire setup. Not a lot of skill involved, but give me some credit; it's hard to remember these things when you played all your intense games two years ago.

Awesome thread! I have two moves that I'm pretty proud of that aren't exactly pro, but they involve some pretty pro luck :biggrin:
Who: Me
Where: BR
What season was it in?: 2009-2010
When was it?: 2009
The pro move:
I was playing Electizard (Electivire FB/Charizard G/Rayquaza LA) which had a SolTone draw engine (Solrock SV and Lunatone GE). Fun deck. Anyways, prizes were 1-1 and I had an energy-less Charizard GLX active with Rayquaza benched and 12 energy discarded. I speed gain, flip like 14 heads and get the KO with Zard. GG
then there was:
Who: Me
Where: BR
What season was it in?: 2009-2010
When was it?: 2010
The pro move:
I was playing Beedrill and my opponent was playing Tangrowth/Sceptile. I had 3 Bees in play with Band Attack Bee active with an energy. Opponent had Tangrowth active and prizes were, once again, 1-1. I could only do 90 damage to Tangrowth (110 hp). I Cosmic Power (good old Claydol :frown
for 3 cards. Draw 3 PlusPower and OHKO Tangrowth for game. :biggrin:

Myself
BR Sudden Death of Top 4
------------------------------------------------
I was playing Vilegar and against Dialgachomp and we start sudden death I go 1st and get a T2 plume to his lone Skuntank G start, he can't retreat or poketurn out of it. I think sleep poison him with Haunter due to me whiffing on the Gengar and the Bebe's to get the Gengar. He fails all 3 sleep checks and I win against my autoloss =)

Lol, yeah it was pretty awesome. We were both in disbelief and had a pretty laugh about. Though, it was unfortunate that I found myself on the bottom tables playing random crap which just killed my day.

I've seen and made some pro moves through my Pokémon history, especially those which are made at big tournaments, and these ones happened at Benelux this year. They were both against Gyarados, I was playing Dialga with 1-1 Luxray. The first one was in round 6, and he proceeded to kill almost everything I had, and I was kinda keeping the prize exchange. Eventually, I knock out one of his Gyarados w/ Rescue energy, don't remember if it was with Dialga or Garchomp, he gets it back to his hand, plays it down, Expert Belts an knocks me out. All I have is a basic Luxray with one lighting energy, and he only has like a Regice and Crobat G or something. I draw, look at the field, play DCE, expert belt, Crobat, Pokéturn twice, Trash bolt for the KO on a full healed gyarados xD however, I misplayed here because I forgot to put a 100 HP pokémon down, and if he gets another Gyara he can Regi move to my Crobat. He topdecks uxie, plays a lot of stuff, gets a Gyara, but doesn't get the Rescue to get the Magicarp. Yay!
Then on top 16 against Marc Lutz, I was down 1-0 in games, and the second one was being hard as ****. I had the prize advantage by one prize, but there was this one turn when I couldn't let him take a prize, and he had a damaged Gyara and a full bench, and I had 2 Garchomp C, Crobat G, uncharged Dialga G, Bronzong G, and a bench space. I have to wall, but I can't with Dialga or else he kills me with an Expert Belt, and if I don't wall I fall behind on prizes. So I like put awesome pressure. Lay down my Dragonite FB and wall with it (100 HP FTW). If he wants to take the prize (he had his bench full and no Crobat G) he has to play down the belt, then I KO for 2 prizes, keeping the lead. He doesn't, he just does 90. I don't have a Pokéturn, so I warp energy, Healing Breath, then Level up Dialga (keeping the HP at a level where he couldn't be KO'ed) and second strike, but it's not enough for the KO since I couldn't attach to RL. He attacks again. I had to heal the Dialga or else I would lose to prizes again. Energy exchanger, I get my 2nd Warp energy, Warp, Healing Breath AGAIN with my 2nd Garchomp, and use Dialga for the KO. Then I proceed to take 2 prizes by Dragon Rushing twice in a row with my two Garchomps. Awesome game.

Most of these aren't good plays just people getting really lucky
UK Nats:
Playing with Lostgar
Against SP
I had hurl'd a Garchomp C Lv.x but he still had one on the field. He did have 1 basic Garchomp on the field as well, so I spread them. I was quite sure he had a Poketurn in his hand, so I predicted a Healing Breath. I played a Mesprit and blocked it, Cursed Drop, Lost World for the win.
It may not sound that skilful, but I was pretty proud of it at the time.
