Help! This deck has won NOTHING!! Sure, I thought I would dominate my
friends, but no, they all copy my best friend's ideas. Then they WON!!! So,
please HELP!!!
Here's my deck:
THE CRUSHER
Pokemon(20)
2 Scyther
1 Pinsir
3 Bulbasaur
2 Ivysaur
1 Venusaur
4 Lickitung
4 Lt. Surge's Ratatta
3 Lt. Surge's Raticate
Trainers(20)
4 Bill
3 Professor Oak
3 Here Comes Team Rocket!
3 Nightly Garbage Run
1 Lt. Surge
2 PlusPower
2 Poke Ball
Energies(20)
18 Grass
2 Double Colorless
Okay the aim of this deck is to play Lickitung early as a stall to evolve
Bulbasaur, By using Bill, Poke Ball and Professor Oak to find its Evolutionary
Partners. Lt. Surge is mainly for the purpose of Lt. Surge's Ratatta and
Raticate. Super Fang always needs a boost in damage, thus using Pluspower to
increase it. Then, when Venusaur is pumped up with 4 grass energies (and when
Lickitung is no more), Bring him out and SOLARBEAM!!!
Well, that's the Strategy, any questions?
See ya!

This is the deck I and Dux are doing. you may well want to check his fix out
when you're done reading mine. That's the whole point of this
deck-swapping thing, after all-gain multiple perspectives on the same deck.
Looks like you're headed for an Energy Trans deck here. But this deck has a lot
of extraneous bits that aren't really helping. Specifically, Raticate. Now, this
guy might be good in the right deck, but this isn't it. Like Raindance, an
Energy Trans deck wants to have no chaff, nothing that detracts from the theme.
You're already trying to piece together one evolution family. Don't make it
harder.
Having said this-Go with Venusaur and basics. Scyther is just great in Energy
Trans decks (heck, he's great everywhere) and Lickitung is decent, as well as
providing fire protection. Go with 3-4 of each of your basics, then with
Venusaur, have it be perhaps a 4-2-2 or 4-2-3 family with a couple of Breeders
tossed in. You can tweak this a bit.
Trainer-wise we'll take out the Surge, Pokeball and the HCTR. In their place
we'll up the Oak count to 4, put in lots of -good- search cards and Item
Finding, Gust of Wind (just essential), Scoop Ups for hauling Lickitung out of
danger and for synergy with Venusaur. Oh yes, the aforementioned Breeders. That
should do us.
Your energy is good, but you want 4 DCE. Then the grass energy takes whatever
space you have left. Remember that one primary tenet of deckbuilding these days
is that you probably don't need as much energy as you think, so see what you can
get away with.
