Not much to say today. My schedule is pretty much back to normal now. Let's move right on
to your deck...

I need some help on a deck, and I was wondering if you could help me? I have
been working on it for about a month trying to perfect it in every way. The
point of the deck is to find your blastoise as fast as possible and then
power up your water pokemon. While looking for the blastoise the fighting
pokemon will stall. It has done pretty good so far but I think your advice
wouldn't hurt. When reading, please remember that I only have one Blastoise.
Thank you for your time and here is my report.........

Overview
This deck could be good, but my first impression was that it's very cluttered. With two
different colored Stage 2s, and several singles, this deck probably often won't work how
you want it to.
Pok閙on
Since it's part of the deck's theme, I'll try and leave the Blastoise and fighting Pok閙on
in there, but you do need some changes. First, there are better Water Pok閙on choices than
Kingler and Staryu. Let's take those out and add three Seel and two Dewgong. I know you
only have one Blastoise, but if you want to keep the Blastoise line you'll need at least two.
Could you trade for one? Until then, use a Lapras, but let's make the Blastoise family 4/3/2
when you can. Add a Lapras, and drop one for a Blastoise when you get one.
You seldom want two Stage 2s in a deck, especially ones with different energy requirements.
Take out the Machamp line... In fact, take out all the Fighting Pok閙on, and add
four Hitmonchan and two Hitmonlee.
Trainers
You have too many singles here, and some of your Trainers are unreliable or not that
helpful. Let's drop the Potions, Defender, Gambler, and Pok閎all. Add another Bill
and two Professor Oak and another Com. Search to give you some more speed. With two
Com. Searches, you can drop the Trader. Add two more Pluspowers (these work best in bulk),
and two Gust of Wind.
Energy
Take 'em both down to 12 of each. Let's see the finished deck:
Pok閙on (20)
4 Squirtle
3 Wartortle
1 Blastoise
1 Lapras (replace with Blastoise when you get one)
3 Seel
2 Dewgong
4 Hitmonchan
2 Hitmonlee
Trainers (16)
4 Bill
2 Prof. Oak
4 PlusPower
1 Energy Retrieval
1 Mr. Fuji
2 Computer Search
Energy (24)
12 Water
12 Fighting
This was an interesting combination, since Raindance is usually mono-water. However, even
if it's not as strong as a normal Raindance, I think I improved it. Good luck!
