Hmm... I now realize I have not so many Trainer cards...

Oh well.

Please comment and give me advice. Is it (the Dutch) National Tournament worthy?

That sounds like a pretty solid deck. Have you tested it out against anyone?
Don't worry about not having many trainers. :] Everyone's different. I tend to only put half a dozen trainers in my decks because I load them up with so many Pokemon.

 

[ShinjisLover]

It does look like a really good deck. I'd say to boot out one or two of the Pokémon and get more Trainer Cards, but it doesn't matter if you do or not. Good job constructing your deck. d(^^)b​

 

[Mudkipable]

Thanks a lot, I myself were kinda worried about it :p

Now I think about it, I have won all the friendly matches I have played with this deck.

:o

I'll tell you right now. You need more trainers, and less Pokemon/Energy.

In a well-balanced deck, you should have no more than 20 energy, always have more than 20 Trainers, and have 15-20 Pokemon. I'll post a decklist soon

Btw, is this Modified or Unlimited. I'll assume Modified if no one answers.

3 Eevee
2 Glaceon
1 Glaceon X


3 Chansey
2 Blissey

2 Shaymin
1 Shaymin X

3 Wurmple
2 Silicoon
1 Beautifly

20

Trainers:

4 Roseanne's Research
4 Bebe's Search
4 Volkner's Philosophy
4 Professor Oak's Visit
4 Cynthia's Feelings
3 Premier Ball


23

Energy:

7 Water
10 Grass

17

If your decklist are the only ones you have, it's pretty solid, but not good enough for Nats.

 

[Mudkipable]

I took out an Eevee and the Happiny and put in a Platinum Rivals Eevee (has Signs of Evolution :D) and Volkner's Philosophy (for when I'm low on hand cards).

 

[Mudkipable]

Okay, I put in a (drumroll) Shaymin Lvl X(!), a Volkners Philosophy, a Underground expedition and a Level Max, I took out a Lapras, a water energy, a grass energy and a Scyther.

Updated decklist:

Pokemon: 24

It is in NO WAY ready for Nats, and minipika12's list is far from good, too... Sadly, a deck like that (With those Pokemon and stuff...) is not good at all (For competitive play...)... Depending on the Shaymin Lv.X you have, you can make a pretty good deck with the right cards... Shaymin Land would be good for most all competitive grass decks (LeafMin is actually looking VERY good to run with the new Eevee!) With Shaymin Sky (Like the tin Promo), you could get a Landmin if you want and make a Scizor deck. If you only have the Skymin and you don't want to go getting another Lv.X, that's fine. What G cards do you have, because they make AMAZING decks! Do you have any Gengar or Machamp from StormFront? BTW, if you have ANY Uxie from LegendsAwakened or Claydol GreatEncounters (Don't say "But I have it from this set," because those are the BEST ones that give you draw power...), then PUT THEM IN YOUR DECK NO MATTER WHAT IF YOU WANT TO ENTER THE DUTCH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS! If you have Porygon-2 GreatEncounters, that works, too... You'll also need Roseanne's Research and Bebe's Search, so if you can get your hands on two Giratina or Rampardos (Rampardos is preferred, it has a few more usable cards) Starter decks, that would be good (Each of them has two Bebe's Search, and having 4 is really good.) Roseanne's Research is something you can find somewhere else, but it's AMAZING!

Just PM me if you have anymore questions, as I'm a competitive player (And I do pretty well in tournaments, but I can't afford to go to Nats, and someone's using my decklist for it!), and I can help you if you need any!

If I put in everything you think is best, I'd get a grass, fighting, physic deck. And I try not to play with more than 2 types in one deck.

From what I gather, that's actually several different decks named off. Some of those cards are good in just about any deck. Some Pokemon are put in just for the sake of what they can do.
