Ok, now ZAP! was a base preconstructed, therefore, it's pretty pants nowadays.
But I, albeit with more luck than skill, beat a deck comprising of cards from
Gym through Neo 2.

Well, this is how the work goes:

Zap!
16 Psy energy
3 abra
1kadabra
3 gastly
2 haunter
2 jynx
2 drowzee
1 mewtwo
12 Lightning energy
3 magnemite
4 pika

2 bill
2 gust of wind
2 switch
1super potion
1 potion
1 defender
1 oak
1 comp search

Righty then, lets get workin'

3 abra and only 1 kadabra??? Lets swap an abra for his biger bro, kadabra.
Now then, rocket abra is a lot better, so lets make these abras evil. 3
gastly, hmm. Begginers might think that this is a good card. Older players
know it isn't. Actually, this card sux, blows and stinks the whole deck up.
Get the thing out in exchange for some nice fossil ones. Lets finish off our
evolution line with a fossil gengar. Jynx was bested by neo's girafarig, so
in he comes instead. Get rid of drowzee 'cos he just clutters the whole thing
up, and turn mewtwo into a movie promo 'cos this guy rocks.

Serious electric trouble here. Why play two average forms with no evo or any
thing??? Lets see, we're already runnin' 2 evo lines, so thats not much of an
option. Lets get 2 buzz in and ditch the pikas. Surge's pika with 50hp is
cool, so lets have a couple. I'll leave mags alone 'cos his thunder wave
makes a good first turn...actually, forget hit, take him out for promo
zappydos.

with only 5 electric types, ten energy should hold us, so we now have 5 new
spaces, I think.

Trainer time, so lets have 4 bill, this card is broken! leave out the switch,
they aren't too important anymore. Super potion should be changed for
defender to help buzz. Stick in 2 more potion to get us away from that single
card. Add another defender and another oak next. Lets finish up with another
comp search.

Lets see what it looks like now...

Revised Zap!

2 abra TR
2 kadabra
3 gastly fossil
2 haunter
1 gengar fossil
2 girafarig neo genesis
1 mewtwo movie promo
2 buzz
2 surge's pika
1 zapdos movie promo
4 bill
2 GOW
3 potion
3 defender
2 oak
2 comp search
10 lightning energy
16 psy energy

Yeah it could be better, but I don't have the cards.
