Here is my favorite deck, which I won a SBZ with, Espy and Light Golduck!
This deck is still really good, and can duke it with the best. Here is the
list...
Pokemon-18
4 Eevee (Neo Discovery)
3 Espeon (Holo Neo Discovery)
1 Umbreon (Holo Neo Discovery)
2 Psyduck (Aquapolis)
2 Light Golduck (Neo Destiny)
2 Cleffa (Neo Genesis)
1 Pichu (Neo Genesis)
1 Elekid (Neo Genesis)
1 Murkrow (Neo Genesis)
1 Mew (Promo)
Trainers-26
4 Professor Elm (NG)
4 Double Gust (NG)
3 Pokemon Trader (LC)
3 Gold Berry (NG)
3 Focus Band (NG)
2 Copycat (Ex)
2 Professor Oak’s Research (Ex)
2 Pokemon Fan Club (Aq)
2 Strength Charm (Ex)
1 Town Volunteers (Aq)
Energy-16
10 Psychic
4 Darkness
2 Recycle
Ok, well here's the strategy behind it all. Espy deals good, consistent damage,
and destroys any Psychic weak Pokemon. Umbreon and Murkrow are in there to
protect Psychic weakness, and feint attack is awesome for picking off babies or
anyone who runs away from your grasp. Once in a while you can also get a lock on
something, like a Suicune, and make your opponent mad. Suicune is stuck there if
you lock him, unless they have Warp energy. Golduck is there to beat up on
Scizor. Pichu kills powers, elekid is good if you don't have energy or you're
paralyzed, asleep, or whatever. And Mew is for the big bad evolved pokemon, like
Feraligator/Sect.
Now for trainers. Double Gust is really good in this deck. Practically everyone
has free retreat, so it's almost always a gust of wind. Just make sure if you
have one guy with a retreat on the field, put him active before you double gust.
Also, just be careful putting gold berry, focus band, and strength charm on.
Make sure you really need it on them, because sometimes you'll wish you hadn't
put one on if you need a different tool on instead. The rest is basically
drawing.
Energy. 10 Psychic works fine, 4 dark is necessary, because you can put it on
Espeon or Golduck to do 10 extra (20 if you have strength charm on too) and they
power up the dark guys (duh), and 2 recycle are nice if you have two pokemon
with retreat on the bench and you use double gust.
