The Truth Returns

Strategy: 

Fill your bench up and attack with Wigglytuff. Then, evolve the Alakazam and Dark Vileplume. Snorlax is a strong back-up attacker with Psychic and status condition resistance. You could tech in a Psyduck (Fossil) instead of Rocket’s Sneak Attack and use that as a starting pokemon. Mr. Mime with Tentacool can stall until the opponent decks out. Or, even Lickitung with Tentacool.

If playing a Muk deck, don’t evolve and don’t play Snorlax until later. You can Scavenge a Gust of Wind with Slowpoke and then have a 50% chance of knocking out Muk with Dark Slowbro after you evolve it. Dark Slowbro lets you burn through your deck quickly and get discarded pokemon in your hand vs. Nightly Garbage Run, which makes you rely more on top decking against non-Muk decks.

Gastly is used to get energy back from the discard mid-game and to counter cards like Hitmonchan when  your Dark Vileplume – and hopefully – Alakazam are in play. Gastly also evolves into Gengar. Scyther is a counter to Aerodactyl and maybe even Hitmonchan.

Gengar can use Curse to knock out pokemon that have 10 hp left.  Rainbow Energy is there to free up bench space of damaged pokemon that need to leave play after using Alakazam’s Damage Swap and also to ensure that almost any pokemon can attack if needed.

Drowzee is used with a single Dark Vileplume in play and active or when having a Snorlax active. Drowzee also gets past an opposing Mr. Mime’s Invisible Wall.

Deck List:

Alasaurus Deck (Base - Fossil)

Stall with the big basics. Attach 1 energy to most pokemon unless attacking. Venusaur, Chansey, and Kangaskhan are the big hitters. Alakazam's Damage Swap pairs really well with Energy Trans to keep those energies in play!

Deck List:

Like – Valley Girl Has Too Many Boyfriends Deck (Base - Fossil)

Strategy: 

Attack and stall with Scythers, while getting out Nidokings and 2 Nidoqueens. After that, attack with Nidoqueen's Boyfriends attack to dish out up to 100 damage for a grass and colorless energy! If Scythers get knocked out, you can still attack with Nidoking and use Switches to stall a little more. Nidoking's Toxic is a nice attack which can deal damage, even after you can't attack (after using Toxic of course!). Psyduck can also stall and then you can play a follow up Lass.

Deck List:

Bored Control Deck (Base – Jungle)

Strategy: 

The strategy of Bored Control is board control, meaning that Ninetails' Lure attack can get your oppponent's undesirable Defending Pokemon active pokemon active and Scyther (Jungle) thanks to its free retreat cost makes it more possible to keep the active you want – still active. Alakazam's Damage Swap moves damage counters almost anywhere on your pokemon, keeping your deck in “control”. The main attacker is Ninetails, which can deal 80 damage consistently due to its Fire Blast attack. Move damage counters to the bench if you need to. 

Deck List:

Wind Deck (Base - Jungle)

Strategy:

Use Pidgeot's Hurricane and return their lone pokemon to their hand by turn 2. If that does not work, you can alternate pokemon by retreating Pidgeot and Scythers while wearing them down hitting for 20-30 damage per turn. Pluspowers are used with Hurricane in case of emergency need to knock out the defending pokemon. Use Super Energy Removal/Energy Removal with Hurricane and Gust of Wind to bring energy to the discard pile or energy and evolutions out of play, respectively. You might get a lone Clefairy start, in that case, use Gust of Wind attempting to knock out pokemon with strong attacks, but hit points that are lower relative to their attack damage potential. If they power up, attack with Pidgeot's Hurricane and they have to start all over.

Here's the deck list:

Zap-Hit Deck (Gameboy Deck)

Strategy:

Draw cards with Bill, Professor Oak, and Kangaskhan's Fetch attack to set up strategy. Attack early with Zapdos and Hitmonchan while setting up Hitmonlee and Wigglytuff for mid-to-late game. GB Zapdos uses its Pokemon Power to deal 30 damage to a random pokemon when you play it onto your bench. Try to drop Zapdos early, when your bench is not as full and use Scoop Up. If you are successful, you could draw up to 3 prizes in one turn! Wigglytuff holds this deck together. Wigglytuff puts the defending pokemon to sleep to bide some time and can hit for 60 and with Pluspower, it hits the magic number of 70. Kangaskhan's Fetch with Pokemon Center and Scoop Up is broken. Lass is there so you won't deck out.

Raindance (Base - Fossil)

Here's the decklist:

I'll Take You to the Candy Shop (Base - Fossil)

Deck List:

Fire Department (Base - Fossil)

Strategy: 

This a common/uncommon deck for the Base Set - Fossil format. Magmar and Lickitung rely on coin flips to keep your opponent from attacking. Meanwhile, add fire energy to Arcanine to take the remaining prizes. Energy Removal stops your opponent from attaching energy to their pokemon while they cannot attack your active. Pluspower lets you hit up to 100 damage with Arcanine's Take Down attack. This deck can also attempt to deck out the opponent. 

Deck List:

Do-the-Fossil-Wave (Base - Fossil)

Deck List:

The Escalator Deck (Base - Fossil)

Deck List:

Jacob "Geniekid" Mastin's Winning List (Base - Fossil)

Strategy:

Knock out Muk or Grimer before setting up Alakazam with Mewtwo Promo. You can use the Mewtwo Promo and Mr. Fuji combination to stall even longer.

Deck List:

Brew City II Winning Deck (Base - Fossil)

Strategy:

Stall and then use Moltres late game.

Deck List:

What a Racket (Base - Fossil)

Strategy:

Stall with paralyzing attacks with Electabuzz and Lickitung. Electabuzz is helpful against Raindance, Psyduck, and Dodrio by hitting them for weakness. Scyther covers the gaping fighting weakness with its fighting resistance. Magmar stalls as well. Chansey is there to collect a few prizes in the end game.

Deck List:

Elder Abuse

Strategy:

Named after and inspired by the Larry Elder incident, where he almost got hit by an egg a woman threw at him while she was wearing a gorilla mask. I do not approve such actions, however it is how I came up with this idea. It's more of a fun deck.

Mankey looks for what you need to know with its Pokemon Power and Primeape can repeatedly use its Tantrum attack with the trainer Full Heal. Exeggutor can simply do a lot of damage if it has a lot of energy attached to it. It could use some Dittos and Scythers though and maybe a Pokemon Trader or two.

Master Deck (Base - Fossil)

An E-card Deck: Scizor/Jumpluff

The strategy is to use supporters and technical machines to draw cards and set-up. The Jumpluff is used to stall, while the Furret is used to get special energies out primarily for Scizor. Scizor's Heavy Metal usually finishes things off. Warp Energy is used with Scizor with a benched Jumpluff to retreat and get back in action with Scizor. Rainbow Energy could be used with Scizor or Jumpluff depending on the situation. Power Charge can get energies back. You could play more Rainbow Energies with Star Piece - if needed.

Notable techs: Octillery (Aquapolis).

Fizzy Grape Juice (Base - Fossil)

Ryan Miller's Wildfire (Base - Fossil)

Strategy:

Use Psyduck to lock trainers when your opponent's deck is near zero. Moltres can have fire energies on it to ensure deck out. Mew with Pluspower counters the opponent's Mewtwo (WBSP 3). Lickitung ensures that your opponent will deck out before taking all 6 prizes. Scyther is free retreat to put up as an active in case there are no pokemon. Energy Removal and Super Energy Removal remove energies so they cannot do much. Mr. Fuji is used with Mewtwo to get fire energies back in the deck and at the same time used to power up a Moltres.
