These regionals are occurring on April 19th and last until April 21st at the Ocean Center Daytona Beach.[​IMG]

Tournament Structure
<><> <><>


Pokemon Regionals are tournaments set up in a Swiss format. This means that you will be battling every round. When battling you will be matched with the players with the closest amount of wins to you. For example, let's say there are 4 people in a tournament.

Jamie Rio 1 Win
Kai Roulu 3 Wins
Ree Ree 1 Win
Mia Koss 2 Wins

Since I, Kai, have 3 wins, Mia and I would be against each other since she has the most similar amount of wins as me.Once you place in the Top 16 you will be battling in a normal single elimination Tournament.

The matches are Best 2 Out Of 3.

My Strategy

The goal of this deck is for my Celebi & Venusaur GX to be unkillable. The way I can make this possible is with the mixture of grass supports in my deck.

For example, let's say I am battling a Gumshoos GX (I know its bad), this scenario could occur.
[​IMG]
At max my Celebi & Venusaur can have 5 energies total, 3 Grass Energy/Herbal Energy, 1 Double Colorless Energy. If they were to use Gumshoe Chance GX, it would deal 260 damage. With buff padding that leaves me with 70 HP.

Since they attacked it is my turn. Now I use my 4 Floral Heals (Because of my basic Pokemon
supporters).
[​IMG]
This will heal me 80 damage. Now I am at 150HP. Next I play Gardenia supporter.
[​IMG]
This heals me 80 more HP giving me 230HP. Now, if I have Life Forest ♢ in play I can heal 60 more damage leaving me with 290HP.

Their 260 Damage attack, did 30 damage. 30 Damage.

Next turn, since it was a GX attack, they can only, at base, deal 100 damage. Even with choice band it only does 130. Heal 80 with Floral Heal, then heal with Life Forest . I am back to 320 HP.

Celebi and Venusaur GX take NO Damage Each And Every Turn.​
