Hey Souper. I've created a Mono Fire deck that I would like looked over.
The Big Red Machine
(16 Pokemon)
3 Growlithe (base)
3 Arcanine (base)
3 F. Magmar
3 R. Ponyta
2 Rapidash
2 Kangaskhan
(22 Energy)
18 Fire Energy
4 DCE
(22 Trainers)
4 Potions
4 Defenders
3 Pluspowers
3 Bills
2 Oak
2 Comp. Search
2 Itemfinders
2 NGR
Ok. The object is to get your Arcanine out to basically decimate the opp. with Take Down.
Magmar is there because hes a great 1st turn attacker that can stall. Rapidash can stall
with Agility, and Kangaskhan stalls against Psychic types, and any Water types that may
show. Plus he can fill your hand. Potions and Defenders are there for Arcanine, to guard
against Take Down's self damaging effect. Pluspowers just for some added punch.
Thankx.

Overview
This deck is pretty well built, and shouldn't require many changes. A few touch-ups here and
there should do the trick.
Pok閙on
Your choices look good- Arcanine is always nice, and Rapidash is great if you can flip a couple
Heads. Free retreat is also nice. Kangaskhan is often overlooked, but is a solid card except
for the retreat cost, but with DCE Comet Punch can unload, and Fetch is nice. You could
play around a bit with the ratios of the families, such as going 4/3 with Arcanine or 3/3
with Rapidash, but things should work as they are now. If you really want to focus it toward
Arcanine, you could take out the Rapidash and go 4/4 with Arcanine, but I'll leave those changes
up to you if you find them necessary.
Trainers
Defenders work well with Arcanine because it reduces his Take Down damage and the damage from
your opponent next turn, so they can stay. I don't think Potion is necessary, though. The
only other thing I see here is that you could use some more card drawing. Add two Oak and a
Com. Search. Also, I'd add three Lass or RSA.
Energy
A little more than necessary, I'd take out two Fire. Here's the finished deck:
Pok閙on (16)

Trainers (24)
4 Defender

Not too many changes, good job. Hope those changes help you, and good luck!
