Hi, My name is John and I am from Minnesota. My deck is called Beat Rush. I didn't know what to name it so, I just named it something. Its won 7 games out of 7 games so its doing well. My E Mail address is Ehs1377@cs.com. There is not really any stategies in this deck, but to attack with pokemon with good starting status, such as lickitung, jigglypuff, and of course, magmar. While stalling, build up your bench and attach energies to charge up fire blast, and also
charge up wigglytuff's Do the Wave. I am going to remove the S. potions someday to put in computer searches. For now, I am using them for my haymaker.

Beat Rush... Isn't that Tifa's Limit Break from FF7? I always liked her... anyway... on to your fix....

Ok. I'm going to make one small suggestion here. Take out the Vulpix and Ninetails evolution family to put in 2 Fossil Moltres. Fossil Moltres is the only fire Pokemon that does NOT have a weakness to Water. In fact, Moltres has no weakness whatsover. It DOES have a resistance to fighting though, and that resistance to Fighting will definately help you when you're going up against the Haymakers that are so very prevalant in the tournament scene today. Yes, I know that Moltres is a rare... but the non-foil version is very reasonable in price, and you could always trade for it.

Now, for your trainers. Remove the Super Potions. They do very little good in a deck that looks like this. Trade your super poitons for Mr. Fuji. You can quickly turn this deck without a real strategy into a deck designed to disrupt if you also put in 3 Lass. Including Lass in a deck can KILL Raindance and Haymaker faster than anything else! Without those much needed trainers, your opponent can't drop the breeder and evolve, or the Plus Power and do serious damage.

You've got a pretty fine deck here. I think it can quickly be a very annoying deck to have to fight, given the Likitung with paralysis and confusion, Magmar with smokescreen, and your ER and SERs can really tork someone off. Adding those Lasses will just cause them more trouble and the Fuji up of your damaged Pokemon will annoy them to no end.

Good job. Let me know if these changes help.
