Shocking...
When taking a look at your Pokemon, there are several things that I notice. First off, it is better to play with Hitmonchans that Machops, so if you can swap your Machops out for the bigger basics, then do so. Similarly, the base set Electabuzz is far better than Lt. Surge's. Both have merits, but in your deck the standard Electabuzz will do much better.
Pokemon (10 Basic + NO Evols = 10 Total):
2 Hitmonlee
4 Hitmonchan
4 Electabuzz
For our energy requirements, we are a lot heavier on fighting than electric, so we'll play with a skew in favor of the fighting edge. However, 28 energy is way too much for us to use in our deck... we'd be better off with less energy and more trainers. So, let's cut our energy count back to 20 total. We'll only play with 2 DCE's because we will only need them in this deck for an emergency retreat and no other reason.
Energy (16 Basic + 4 Special = 20 Total):
10 Fighting
6 Electric
2 Double Colorless
2 Full Heal
Now let us take a look at trainers. You mentioned you wanted to stop Charizard decks... well, that is simple enough... toss in Energy Removal and Super Energy Removal. Play with Gust of Winds in order to get around any Pokemon you see with fighting resistance against your Hitmonchan. The rest of your trainers should focus on card drawing, quick attacks, and disruption.
Trainers (30 Total):
4 Bill
3 Professor Oak
2 Computer Search
2 Narrow Gym
3 Plus Power
4 Energy Removal
3 Super Energy Removal
3 Gust of Wind
2 Nightly Garbage Run
1 Trash Exchange
3 Item Finder
Good luck with your newly revised deck!
