Gliscor Spiritomb Lock


Gliscor Spiritomb Lock

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my newest article I’ve decided to post on SixPrizes.com.

It’s about a pretty new deck that should be seen at some Cities. As you may have realized because of the title, it’s the Gliscor-Spiritomb Lock. The main strategy of this deck is to paralyze your opponent’s active Pokémon with Gliscor Lv.X’s Poké-Power “Shoot Poison” and return it to your hand with the regular Gliscor’s “Burning Poison” attack to do it again and again. You may think you won’t do any actual …

Hippowdon LV. X - A Deeper Look at a Forgotten Card

Hippowdon LV. X - A Deeper Look at a Forgotten Card

When Rising Rivals came out back in May 2009, most of us just flocked to the cards like Nidoqueen, and Luxray GL LV. X, that were obviously viable and changed the way several decks were run (Gengar and Beedrill, to name a couple), and Flygon was established as the only non-SP deck to have been formed on a card out of Rising Rivals. But I seem to remember that there was another card that received almost as much hype as Flygon, in its own right.

Hippowdon …

Testing Results from Last Weekend

Testing Results from Last Weekend

Ian came down to hang out last weekend and we played a handful of games of Pokemon cards. First we tried out turn 2 Shuppet because Ian seemed to think it might be good (he was actually ecstatic about it haha). We tested it against a couple SP variants. Shuppet was fast and got set up quickly, which enabled it to get ahead, but as soon as the Mewtwo LV.X or Dialga G LV.X came out, there was almost nothing Shuppet could …

Salamence LV. X-Worth the hype?

Salamence LV.X - Worth the hype?

Another set has rolled around, and this one has only one word in it’s name: Arceus. There were a fair few amount of cards in this set to be hyped, but one of the cards to receive the most generous amount of love was Salamence LV.X. And it’s easy to see why, isn’t it? Taking double prizes is always an incredible feat, especially when you’re already sporting a high damage output from the start to begin with.

But is it really worth all the attention it’s …

Mankey Business - The One Hit Wonder

Mankey Business - The One Hit Wonder

A guy I know at league has been playing a Darkrai Lv.X deck that I keep losing to. Unwilling to totally scrap the deck that I have been playing, I went looking for a tech. And that’s when I came upon Mankey SV. For 1 Fighting Energy he can hit Level Xs for 60 damage. But it gets better. Darkrai Lv.X has a x2 weakness to Fighting, effectively giving Mankey a OHKO against my arch nemesis Darkrai.

So here’s the plan. Because it only takes 1 …

Raichu LV.X Stormfront SF 99-Card of the Day

Raichu LV.X Stormfront SF 99 - Card of the Day

Raichu LV.X has been horribly underestimated in my opinion when it was first released in the Stormfront set. When it came out most people were making Gengar and Machamp decks. But this card should be recognized for having one of the most outstanding Poke-Powers of all time!

Raichu LV.X’s Power is called “Link Lightning” which allows you to use two attacks in one turn after Leveling Up Raichu and using Raichu LV.X’s attack “Voltage Shoot.” The attack “Voltage Shoot” will cause 80 damage to one of your …

Battle Roads Report-1st place with Fly/Champ

Battle Roads Report - 1st Place with Flygon / Machamp

Please picture the following: Flygon Lv.X, Machamp, Nidoqueen, Mesprit. Thanks!

Well to start things off this is my first premiere event since Spring Battle Roads, so needless to say I was quite excited. I had been play testing quite a few decks, but really felt like Fly/Champ was the best play. So I went with my gut and that is what I ended up playing.

So my friends, brother, and I get up and start heading to Rolla, Mo for the first tournament for all of us …

Battle Roads Autumn 2009 1st Place Report

Battle Roads Autumn 2009 1st Place Report

My latest deck is a neo-Gardevoir variant that uses Mesprit, Gardevoir PL, and Upper Energy instead of using Weavile with Dark/Special Dark Energy that’s so popular right now.  Since Gardevoir PL lets one move around their Psychic Energy, it is a very fluid deck, letting one use near anything on the field as an attacker. Believe it or not, I’ve taken prizes with Mesprit. It’s not the most competitive of decks, but it’s fun nonetheless.

So here’s how things went. I arrived at the venue about …
