Pokémon TCG pt1 - The Perfect Pokémon

ah yes… Pokémon Trading Card Game… my new obsession. I thought it'd be fun to make a little page here to catalog the cards I get, and the decks I build. DON'T WORRY! I have a plan to ensure that I don't spend too much money on Pokémon cards. I got a nicely shaped empty box from Elder Mendenhall, and if I fill the box, that's when I stop. I don't think I'll actually get anywhere near filling the box, but I'm setting that as the hard limit on how many Pokémon cards I can have (at least while I'm on my mission).

That said, here's my first deck! It's a psychic only deck, and it's pretty good! The main attackers are the Calyrex VMAX cards. Their lone attack Max Geist does STUPID amounts of damage, because it does 10 damage +30 damage for each energy I have attached to all of my Pokémon. By default that's 100 damage, since it takes 3 energy to use. Then I just use it's ability Underworld Door to stack up energies on the Pokémon in my bench. The max damage I can do per turn with this deck is 460, as I have 15 energies available... The highest health on any Pokémon card is 340. I've beat Elder Mendenhall a few times with this one! I lost a few times too, but that was totally just luck. The other Pokémon in this deck are pretty useful too in various ways, and then there's Pumpkaboo. He doesn't do much. But he is my special little angel child and I love him. He is perfect. Also, Elder Mendenhall let me have some of his spare sleeves! Bottom right, next to the box is what the back side looks like.

There are plenty of ways I could improve the deck, like replacing the Great Balls with Ultra Balls, or adding a couple of Crobat V cards for extra drawing power, but seeing as my collection has only just started, I don't have any of those.

To all my friends back home: yall should get some Pokémon cards and fight me when I get back lol
