>   From your decks looks it seems that you're short on cards. You
>deffinatley don't need all those trainers, i would suggest you take out 2
>Switch, 1 S. Potion, and 1 Com. Search. This will give you much more space
>for pokemon which you need much more of. The main thing you should change is
>the Blastoise and Gyrados evolutions. Make it 4-3-2 for Blastoise and 3-2
>for Gyrados. Also take out the breeders and add Wartortles Bite is great.
