==Description==
''Tristan Robinson's aptly named Intimidation deck relied on countering the most heavily played cards in the tournament. Between shutting off his opponent's Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies, limiting the effectiveness of their Special Energy cards, and punishing them for playing Special Energy cards with Scizor, Tristan was able to set up roadblocks that slowed his opponents, and allowed him to claim win after win!''


When building this deck, Tristan took note of heavily-played cards at the time. Many of these included special Energy cards and Pokemon with effective Poke-Powers. He chose his own Pokemon and Trainer cards that directly conflicted with these effects. It turned out to be a wise decision, as he went on to win the 2008 World Championship(Junior Division) in Orlando Florida.
