Strategy
Most turns would consist of an attack, switching for a Baby Pokémon on the bench. The next turn, the player would retreat the Baby Pokémon for free and attack again, repeating the cycle as long as it took to defeat the opponent's deck. The deck made constant use of the original Baby Pokémon's rule that stated as long as that Pokémon was active the opponent would have to flip in order to successfully attack. The trainer-blocking Pokémon would then be used to keep the opponent from switching the Baby Pokémon out of the active position. As a result, the deck proved extremely frustrating to play against, particularly when *Focus Band was attached to the Baby Pokémon.
Restriction
At the end of 2002, Slowking was removed from the modified format (Dark Vileplume had already been removed earlier in the year), making it much easier to attack a player's benched Pokémon.
