Blue Harvest
22nd February 2011, 9:48 AM
About a year ago one of my friends gave me all her sister's old Pokemon cards she was.. "borrowing" so I could play the TCG with them. I got a Regigigas level X and a hundred or so newer cards + my 4th grade era stash of old cards. So I just bought the Regigigas tin and threw everything together into what I thought was a good deck. It seemed to work, it reliably beats all my friend's decks with no trouble except one with Donphan that it can go about 50/50 against. Some of them are super-into the card game (they have thousands of cards and play in tournaments) so they brought me to a local tournament place. I won every match I played except one against some guy with a Donphan and I think Claydol.
I have no idea about the metagame at all (I didn't even know what Unlimited meant until 10 minutes ago) and I don't have many cards.
Pokemon!

2x Holon Mentor (http://www.pokemontradingpost.com/images/Frontiers/R-75_Holon_Mentor.jpg)
Energy
6x Steel Energy
6x Water Energy
6x Fighting Energy
2x Call Energy (http://www.sixprizes.com/wp-content/uploads/Call-Energy-Majestic-Dawn-MD-92.jpg)
3x Multi Energy (http://pokebeach.com/scans/ex-emerald/89-multi-energy.jpg)
Anyhow, the idea of the deck is to just get Regigigas out and start killing. I have to stress how new I am at this game (I don't know what a level X card actually is!) and how few cards I have. lol, I don't even have the right energies for some of my Pokemon! Unown ? is a great thing to search for with Holon Mentor once I have Regigigas and it can play mind games with Regigigas X and Drifblim (who has never once attacked, I just put it in for the free retreat cost!). Drifblim and Drifloom are useless, I need replacements.
The Trainers are pretty much random. Switch helps remove effects besides status like "Bite On" from a Mightyena (http://pokebeach.com/scans/legends-awakened/66-mightyena.jpg) my friend ALWAYS uses. I think it also lets me use Giga Blaster consecutively, but I'm not sure. Quick Ball is relatively worthless as it only draws one Pokemon and 90% of the time it seems to be Drifloon. Mary's Request is pretty good and so is Holon Mentor. They're pretty much all draw and search cards + 4 Switch.
Call Energy collects some Unown "?" and doubles as a "retreat" energy for my active Pokemon when Regigigas needs to come in. Its not bad, but theres probably something better out there. Multi-Energy is awesome, it all but guarantees I'll have all three colors I need for Gigas.
I'm willing to place 10-20 dollars into this deck I guess. I was told to use this Abomasnow (http://pokebeach.com/scans/stormfront/12-abomasnow.jpg) to beat Donphan; which looks good because it can hurt benches and Regigigas is often 20~ damage short from killing stuff. Theres also Expert Belt (http://www.pokemontradingpost.com/images/Arceus/87_Expert_Belt.jpg) which makes Gigas even bigger.
