Please do //not// delete this page. It is also my sandbox for making mainspace articles. I'm sure most of us have established some kind of house rule(s) when playing PTCG; extra prize cards, hand refreshes even when you have a basic, letting your opponent start set-up, etc; either for better testing or just for fun.

An interesting way we have been playing at home and with friends is with literally, an expanded deck: Unlimited Format, 100 cards, 5 max each card, Draw 10 instead of 7, D&P rules, 8 or 10 prizes, and 6 benched.

Some sick decks can be made.

Forretress Donk
Forretress and Blastoise Types used Major cards Forretress, Blastoise, Seeker Era Unlimited

Forretress Donk

History

There was a less consistent version of this deck during the Diamond Pearl era using Secret Wonders Blastoise with its Waterlog Poké-POWER to attach Energy to Forretress; although, this method lacks unlimited Energy attachment and also requires more Energy cards. The release of Emboar allowed the creation of Forretress Donk. Blastoise of Boundaries Crossed is an alternate, more viable Energy attachment.

Strategy

Shuckle

The most consistently-winning decks in Unlimited Format are turn one donk decks (T1 donk). Forretress Donk is this type of deck; capable of taking all prize cards or Knocking-Out all of the opponent's Pokémon on the first turn

The ideal start would be Sableye; Sableye's Poké-BODY allows the player to go first. Using the various Trainer cards, the player would want to set up a Blastoise, Espeon, and Shuckle. Blastoise's Deluge Ability allows the player to attach, as often as they like, Water Energy cards to Shuckle. Shuckle's Fermenting Liuid Poké-BODY lets the player draw a card every time an Energy card is attached to it. Espeon's Energy Return Poké-POWER allows the player to return those Energy cards to the hand. This establishes an infinite loop of drawing with Shuckle. After drawing the needed cards, the next step would be to get out Forretress and attach the Energy cards to it instead of Shuckle. Forretress's Iron Shell Poké-BODY has the player flip a coin every time an Energy card is attached to it; tails places 2 damage counters on all Pokémon (excluding any Forretress). The damage to Blastoise and Espeon can be continously healed with an attached Healing Scarf Pokémon tool.

Restriction

Sand Box 3 Start

Draw Power

• Uxie - When played from the hand, its Poké-Power allows the player to draw until there are 7 cards in his or her hand.
• Shaymin-EX - Similar to Uxie; the player draws till 6 cards and it is an Ability rather than a Poké-Power.
• Unown R - Considered a “deck thinner” (which is a common strategy in speed decks) which increases the probability of drawing important cards by reducing the number of cards in the deck which. Its Retire Poké-Power allows the player to discard it from the Bench in order to draw a card.
• Unown - Its Ability has the same effect as Unown R.
• Professor Oak -
• Erika - Powerful draw power, the player draws up to 3 cards.
• Secret Mission - A viable alternative to Professor Oak. The player discards any number of cards of his or her hand in order to draw that many cards.
• Misty's Wrath - A “deck thinner.” The player looks at the top 7 cards of the deck, puts 2 into his or her hand and discards the rest.
• Poké Drawer + - Playing a single copy will allow the player to draw a card; playing two copies allows the player to search the Deck for any two cards.

Search Power

• Bebe's Search - Search deck for a Pokémon.
• Roseanne's Research - Search for up to two Basic Pokémon and/or Basic Energy cards.
• Pokémon Collector - Used to get up to three Basic Pokémon out.
• Computer Search - Search Deck for any one card. Since the Ace Spec version is not considered a re-print, a player may use more than 1 of the Base Set Computer Search.
• Level Ball - Search Deck for a Pokémon with 90 HP or less. It is capable of searching most Pokémon used in the Unlimited format.
• Luxury Ball - Like Bebe's Search except not a Supporter.

Evolution Aids

• Broken Time-Space - Allows the player to evolve Pokémon that were played, evolved, or devolved on the same turn. Also allows evolution on the first turn.
• Spiritomb - Allows the player to search the deck for an Evolution card and evolve a Benched Pokémon with its Darkness Grace attack.
• Rare Candy - Allows the player to skip the Stage 1 Pokémon. Cannot be used on a Pokémon that was played that turn (or on the player’s first turn), even if Broken Time-Space is in play.
• Pokémon Breeder - Similar to Rare Candy. Can be used on a Pokémon that was played that turn (or on the player’s first turn), if Broken Time-Space is in play

• Rotom - Has the same effect as Rattata, but it is a Poké-Power rather than a Pokémon Power.
• Spiritomb - Can act as a counter to an “Evolution lock” with its Darkness Grace attack. Its Keystone Seal Poké-Body causes an “Item card lock”.
• Regice - Its Poké-Power allows a counter to an opponent's Spiritomb “Item card lock” by sending it to the Bench.
• Erika's Perfume - Allows the player to view the opponent’s hand and choose Basic Pokémon and put them on the Bench. This is a great counter to cards like Uxie and Mesprit.
