This deck is made for quick strikes. I use Gust to get out
weak Pokemon that can't hit Murkrow. Then I use Mean
Look to strand the weak Pokemon and KO the strong dangerous
Pokemon on the bench. Hitmonchan and Tyrouge
are to make one energy attacks. Tyrouge has Smash Punch and
Hitmonchan has Jab. Rockets Zapdos and
Electabuzz are for major damage quickly with Thunderpunch and
Plasma. Sneasel is for the heavy-hitters like
Feraligatr and Espeon. If you are to add Metal Energy, make it
2 max. because that's all I have.

Alright, welcome back all of you happy people out there...
Today's deck is a kinda wacky Haymaker/Sneasel thingy =/. Well just for the
record, Hays are my fave decks to play in Standard. So I had to help out a
fellow Haymaker player out there. I will use this deck as an example of how to
build and customize a Haymaker deck for you. This will be a bit wordy, so read
at your own risk =P. Ok, lets gets going...
First, we have the Pokemon: Ok, Chan, as much I hate to say it is...dead
(gasps). But its true. Scyther, and Zappy are just too much for the old fighting
master. Tyrogue is a cool choice since he is a C for 30, but its a flip...both
just aren't worth it in my eyes. So, they are cut. Lets drop the lone Zappy, 1
just isn't enough, and for many people he is hard to get. Drop Sneasel, let me
just say for the record, that playing Sneasel and Haymaker together is just
BEGGING to be slaughtered by either: A. Fable, B. Ditto, or C. Them both. And
finally, lets remove Murkrow. Sure he's cool, and he's one of my fave Basics,
but he just doesn't fit in most Hays. Alright, now lets add another Buzz, 2 more
Cleffa (I prefer to use Mad Cleffas myself, but, eh, whatever floats yer boat
XD). Adding another Buzz makes him one of your main attackers, something to
which Buzz excells at. Adding more cleffa should just be instinctive, you NEED 3
in EVERY deck, simple as that people. We will also put in 2 Igglybuff, and 2
Ditto. I
-phew- Now we have the Energy: Ok, lets slim this down a bit. Drop the
Fighting, Dark, and Rainbow. Also drop 1 Electric energy, Buzz needs 1 to get
going, 7 should be enough. Lets add in 8 Psychic (for Mewtwo), and 3 DCE (for
Ditto, Buzz, or Mewtwo).
Lets finish up with the Trainers: You have a lot of scattered cards, or
just 1 of them. Now unlike Ness, I am not a "tecHage hater" (lol). So when you
play singles of cards you should play them only if you are using them as "tecH",
or key siutations. So lets drop the Pokeball, Imposter Professor Oakm Rocket's
Trap, Scoop Up, and Bill. These cards are either outdated/and or serve no
importance to this deck. You absolutely need 4 Comp Search, 4 Item Finder, and 3
Gold Berry in here. 4 Finders give you more options. So we will add them all in.
Lets drop a Gust of Wind, we aren't playing a deck focused on taking out the
Bench just remove the opponent's energy as you are attacking. Drop the ER, lets
focus on just using SER, add 2 more. Mewtwo absorbs back the lost energy. Lets
add in 2 Nightly Garbage Run, you are already playing a 2-color deck, NGR helps
energy control, and decking. Add another Lass, like I said before, she's one
heck of a spicy senorita! Well, th-th-th-thats all folks!
