Strategy:
After the release of Team Rocket, I've been wondering how the new Dratini family would work
in the old Overgrowth Theme. I decieded to cut out the water families since I will have a
colorless line and replace the Beedrill family for the Psychic weak Nidoking weakness. Now
you can use The Boss's Way to get Dark Dragonair, Dark Dragonair to get any evolutions, and
Dark Dragonite to get the basics. Always keep a NGR in your hand to avoid running out of
evolutions. Because their attacks are less than good, Dark Dragonair and Dragonite will
spend most of their time warming the bench. I haven't taken it out into a tournement and
just was wanting to test my deck making skills. I would like any input you could provide,
thanks.

Overview
The idea is very solid, but even with the dragon family, you're pretty heavy in evolutions.
The idea and deck looks pretty good, though, assuming you can get Dragonair out. Dragonair
can search for Dragonair and Dragonite, who get Dratinis, Dratinis become Dragonairs which
search for your evolutions, and Dragonite can get their basics... You get the idea.
Pok閙on
You definitely need more Dark Dragonair. Once he comes out you have access to all your
Pok閙on. Let's add another Dratini and two Dark Dragonair. Instead of breeders, which must
be drawn or found with Trainers, use Stage 2's, that can be searched for. Add two Ivysaur.
You've got too many Stage 2's here, and you won't have enough room for Trainers. Take out
the Nidoking family for the Venomoth family. Cheap attack, nice HP and free retreat cost
make this a good choice. Make it 3/2.
Trainers
This deck is extremely reliant on combos. Therefore, it's imperative dragonair gets out
as soon as possible, so you can power up your evolutions. Venusaur makes it possible to
dish out heavy damage quickly with Energy Transfer. So, the first thing to do is get Dratini
and Dark Dragonair out. Let's take out the Breeders and add three Oak and two Mr. Fuji
to get hurt evolutions back into the deck. Lastly, since we don't have much room for Energy
right now, take out the two Itemfinder.
Energy
Since the dragons will only need to attack in a pinch, and Scyther's the only other thing
that uses DCE (as well as retreat costs), make it three DCE and 15 Grass.

It's still very heavy in Pok閙on, but once Dragonair gets out and you a few Energy on
the board, it should work. The only problem is that, because the evolutions take up so much
room, that your only big basic Pok閙on is Scyther. Speed decks could mean trouble, and you
may have to sacrafice an active Dratini, Venonat, or Bulbasaur. Good luck!
