Well, let me be one of the first to welcome you to the world of Pokemon cards!
This deck is VERY good for a first attempt... whoever helped you out knew what
he was doing. But I see some things I'd change. Oh yes, one thing before we
begin--you've got 62 cards by my count. That's bad.
1) First of all... hmm. Unless you've got a special reason for wanting Poliwrath
(and you didn't mention any) I'd take him out. I liked this guy at one point,
but his attacks are pretty expensive for what they do, and he's not one of the
better stage 2's. Next, Gyarados and Dewgong are kind of redundant-- I think I
would take one out and raise the other to 4-3. Gyarados is probably better in
this deck, because of his higher HP and grass weakness when most of the rest of
your Pokes are weak to lightning. Magikarp isn't great, but you have good basics
in your deck (Lapras, Articuno, Kanga) so this shouldn't be too much of a
problem. With the enormous amount of space we've created, you should be able to
add in another Lapras and another Articuno. We'll hold the rest over for
possible Trainer additions. Now then... if we need the space (and ONLY if we
need the space) we'll drop one of your two colorless Pokemon. Be thinking about
which one you want. I'll recommend Kangaskhan (don't I always) but it depends in
lar
2) Okay. You've got all the Trainers anybody could ever want. But we're gonna
make a couple of changes, nevertheless. Well, actually just additions. First of
all, Switch would be nice. You've got some pretty high retreat costs in this
thing. If we have space, we'll put in two other cards that just kick ass:
PlusPower and Item Finder. Trust me, you'll learn to appreciate both of these.
3) 20 energy is too low. Raise it to 22, and put in a couple of DCE for Chansey
and Kanga. DCE can also be used to quickly pay retreat if you need to.

I wasn't able to add the PlusPowers. I also had to drop a GOW. If you wanted to,
you could drop either Chansey or Kangaskhan instead. I hope this works for you.
Good luck!
