King of the West (TCG)
King of the West, a variation of the Ludicargo archetype, is the name of the deck used by Michael Gonzalez in the 2005 World Championships. He was a Semi-Finalist in the Ten and Under Division. The deck takes advantage of the synergy formed from Magcargo's Smooth Over Poké-Power and Ludicolo's Swing Dance Poké-Power.
