[Alec Trevelyan]

Yeah, some people noticed i wasnt coming here for a while... but these last 2 months were damn busy, university stuff, making some jokes to freshmen , etc...
Just to say hello to all you guys again, and just some news:

Curitiba's (my city) City Championships (Brazil) --> 4th place, my partner got 1st
Deoxys pre-release (a bit late i'd say) --> 1st place
In 2 weeks we'll have State Championships, i can't wait for this...
Btw, here in Brazil the nationals are "closed" just to first 4 places of each city championships (so i already got mine), and this will be on 1st weekend of june. 1st of each age group will earn a trip to worlds, 2nd just get the place, but have to pay own expenses.

Here's the decklist i used on CC:

4x Dunsparce
3x Larvitar
2x Dark Pupitar
3x Dark Tyranitar
3x Mareep
2x Dark Flaafy
2x Dark Ampharos
2x Pidgey
1x Pidgeotto
2x Pidgeot

Trainers (25)

4x Steven's Advice
4x Celio's Network

2 Ttars of sand damage, 1 is the other one. Looks solid and fine IMO. cya!

Sometimes I just get lost in other ppl's decks. I mean seriously, 3 2nd-stage evos in the same deck with only dunsparce as the exception, that's a little too risky even for me.

Recently, I've been trying to find some good stage1 pkmn and only basics to support them. Should make things faster. Closest idea i got so far is Raichu/raikou EX.

i already tried with dark hypno also. looks fine... dark hypno + DRE = up to 90 dmg... dark hypno + dark amphy is fine. But the point is pidgeot's searching ability, as long as you put it in play your game is almost done

The ampharos-dark t tar won Texas states.
but it had jirachii in it (loook at top 5 cards of deck one)
it hurts with atm rock too.
good job D Rainbow is good on second turn
w Dark energy the -1 is canclled out.

[darktyranitar]

Hey, man. It's been a while since you're here. Then again, so did I...

Your dark T-tar deck seems pretty good. I might as well try it...

[Vex 47]

Trevelyan, do you remember what deck the winner used at your CC?

sure, blaziken! blaziken + pidgeot + BEX + REX. No TA's manectric... i can get the list this weekend if you want

[Water Pokemon Master]

Blaziken is so dead where I live. It's all about Dark Draggy/Dark Electrode, Dark Ttar/Dark Amphy, and Slaking.

[Roarkiller]

Slaking? Wow, now there's something I haven't heard. How does it run?

some guys were playing here also... 2 slaking from DX + 2 from RS. Pidgeot and some BBP EX as support some were using. it's a good deck.
Blaziken is not dead, the main "problem" is that there're more good decks, such as you mentioned, but blaziken can beat 'em all. My partner proved it on our CC. On next weekend (april 11th), there will be SC . I'm almost ready. I dont know any improvement now that deoxys is in play. And now a guy here is making TA's Walrein + Walrein + Magcargo (DX) deck... lets see if works

[Water Pokemon Master]

Blaziken is dead. Times a million million bajillion.

You use 4 Slaking from R/S. It stops all of your opponent's PokePowers when it is active, which is bad for the opponent since most decks today rely on PokePowers. It can also do 100 per turn, if you know how to play your cards right.
