The obvious thing to me about it is you need more Sneasels. This Pokemon has become my new favorite basic, personally, due to his overwhelming ability to pound Pokemon down. You'll especially need him against the larger number of players that are starting to play Lightning resistant Pokemon, such as the almighty Wooper. I haven't found Chansey all that useful in a deck like this, unless you are planning on playing with Metal Energy. Since you aren't, let's drop this big beefy egg.
Pokemon (11 Basic + NO Evols = 11 Total):
3 Rocket Zapdos
4 Sneasel
4 Electabuzz
Your biggest problem up to this point with the old deck was the ENORMOUS number of energy cards you were running. A good deck doesn't use near that many. We're dropping you down to 20 energy cards for this deck. Energy distribution is fairly straight forward. Dark Energies are a requirement, as are Lightning.
Energy (16 Basic + 4 Special = 20 Total):
16 Lightning
4 Dark Energy
That leaves us with room for 29 trainers. Yeah, that's a lot... but you'll soon learn why that is so powerful! The more trainers you have in a deck, generally the better your chances of winning. Trainers make or break games. We need to focus on card drawing, recycling Dark Energy back into the deck, speed and damage.
Trainers (29 Total):
4 Bill
3 Computer Search
3 Professor Oak
2 Professor Elm
4 Plus Power
2 Nightly Garbage Run
1 Trash Exchange
2 No Removal Gym
2 Sprout Tower
3 Scoop Up
3 Item Finder
Good luck striking down the competition!
