Seto Kaiba would be ashamed of these two players! XD

Ghost "master" #5 has a weirdly off-balance deck that doesn't make too much sense. Why not the Kakuka? Why the Charmander/Charmeleon in a poison deck? Sure they are powerful, but do they benefit the strategy? Only two Pokemon in it can cause poison actually. Also, shouldn't there be more fire energy than there is grass since the grass Pokemon he has doesn't use much grass? Why not Dark Muk to prevent easy switches? Where's the draw power? Where's the searching cards like Pokemon Trader? etc... It all just seems like there's no focus to really make an impact. It shows in the game too.

The sixth has more focus in the strategy of reusing the Legendary Zapdos with Scoop Up and Ditto to cause mass amounts of damage, even when not declaring an attack. But if the strategy is hitting his own side, it's working well! rofl! I can't think of a better example duel as to why you should never use that version of Zapdos than this one. While it CAN hit the opponent's Pokemon, since you never know what it'll hit, it may not hit the one that could benefit you the most in any given situation. If Zapdos is threatened with a KO by the opponent's active Pokemon for instance, you may not hit it and end up hitting something else, even your own things. The same goes for anything else you may want to hit. He also has Chansey lv55 for offense... I guess?... It'll likely get a KO of course, but the 80 damage to itself is a high detriment to something meant to be very defensive. Also, shouldn't he have more Scoop Up and ways to recycle Pokemon in general for the strategy too?... Nightly Garbage Run and Mr. Fuji for instance. Unless he "ONLY" is focused on the Big Thunder. Hence why Ditto will always get something with 100HP or more and Chansey has 120HP. Basically focusing on ways to ensure his own Pokemon can tank accidental self-hits. But when Zapdos comes into play, it could dish out 30 immediately to them anyway. Making Chansey the only one that can make it through both hits. So no matter what there's no escaping the initial play of Zapdos and thus must be planned for the possibility of hitting your own critters.
