DON'T PUT IN POKEFLUTE!! DON'T! PLEASE! PUT DOWN THE
POKEFLUTE AND WALK AWAY FROM IT!!! YOU STILL HAVE LOTS
TO LIVE FOR!!

<ahem> Where was I? Oh, yes. Good deck. The strategy
doesn't seem that original, but it's not that bad
either--just "heavy hitters and Wigglytuff." Let's see
if we can't do something to tighten it up.

1) Yes, you do need more Magikrap--and yes, I never
thought I'd hear myself saying that, either. So just
get some more--it can't be that hard. What you do is,
you go to wherever it is you trade cards, open your
binder, and ask loudly if anyone wants to trade you
some Magikarp. You'll be surprised :-) Now then. The
Jigglypuff family is very good. The Seadra family is
also not bad, but I would replace them with Dewgong as
quickly as you can. The one Pokemon I would add is
Lapras. He's an excellent water basic and I'm
currently acquiring some for the next deck I plan to
build. You also might want 3 Scyther--as it stands,
you're going to have trouble getting out enough Basics
for Wigglytuff to do that much good.

2) Trainers are also good. You need one more Bill, but
I won't chew you out too badly about that. You also
had the sense to put in some Energy Removal. We will
drop one switch and maybe some of the Potions and
Super Potions. Oh yes, did I mention you shouldn't put
in any Pokeflutes?

3) Your energy is well-balanced. What can I say? You
might not need all three of those DCE's, though.

I needed card slots, so I took out all the Potions. I
left the Super Potions in, though--you don't discard
to attack, so it shouldn't be that much of a bother. I
know you don't have Dewgong yet, so you can leave
Seadra in until you do. And yes, I did cut the amount
of energy, but you should be drawing through your deck
quickly enough to get the energy you need. The
Computer Searches are neccessary to get those big
Pokemon or those good Trainers when you want them.
