Classic Haymaker
I played this deck before Jungle was even released. It was unstoppable. I know that decks have really changed with the release of so many expansions, but how can I modify my Hay, while keeping it Electabuzz/Hitmonchan, and still win? This deck has been losing a lot recently, especially against Scyther.

Strategy
Dealing fast damage. That sure is going to be hard to do. This deck is so old. It really just doesn't work anymore. You can keep Hitmonchan and Electabuzz, but you'll need Mewtwo to pack you up. We'll make this a three color deck.
Pokémon
Okay, playing 4 of a Pokémon that doesn't evolve in a Hay variant went out of style a year ago. You should have enough drawing to make three work. Drop a Chan, and Buzz. As for Farfetch'd and Machop? Those went out of style before Pokémon began as a game. Get rid of them! There are better things.
Add 3 movie promo Mewtwos. Absorption is great. Psyburn can take out other Mewtwos and Hitmonchans. So many people play Ditto, take advantage of making Ditto's HP 30, by using Lt. Surge's Spearow. A PlusPower makes it an easy Ditto taker-outer. I guess one Scyther will work, we don't want to have to play double colorless, though.
Trainers
Let's got some more speed! Drop a Bill for an Oak. Add 3 Item Finders. Add 2 more Computer Search. Drop one PlusPower, three will work. Add a Nightly Garbage Run to get your energy back, and to prevent decking yourself. Get 3 Rocket's Sneak Attack in, to get a fast start and gain an advantage early in the game. Take out an Energy Removal for a Goop Gas, which is mostly for Erika's Dratini, Ditto, and maybe Mr. Mime.
Energy
We will have to go down to 17. 5 psychic, 5 fighting, 4 lightning, 2 rainbow, and 1 double colorless. W

The three color deck makes RSA easier to take advantage of, since weakness advantages can be taken advantage of immediately to get an advantage fast.

One less lighting than others since Buzz needs one for both attacks.
