Need help tweaking deck

    OK, so I've been playing Pokemon for about a few months now, but all that time I haven't tweaked my Ex-TRR deck. Never bought a booster pack, never changed the cards.

    Since I got challenged by one of my friends, since Pokemon became popular again, I decided I needed to tweak my deck. Well, I dunno how to, cos I don't know the majority of the cards, only the ones in my deck. Any suggestions?

    PS: To be exact, I have an Ex-TRR James deck.

    I don't know what's in that deck. Could you please put the card names down in order of Pokemon, Trainer, Energy? That would help out a TON.

    What direction do you want to take this deck? I mean, there are about 3 or 4 different ways to build this thing, based on what you want your focus to be.

    There is the ever popular DragTrode, which involves using Dragonite and Dark Electrode to manipulate energy placement. Varients include R. Sneasel ex and Electrode ex.

    Quagsire/Blastoise ex again manipulates energy placement by allowing multiple energy placements from the hand to your Pokemon with very little drawback.

    Quagsire/Swampert. Read above.

    Azumarill stall, possibly with Quagsire backup. Using a 4-4 Azumarill line with 4 Briney and 4 VS Seeker, constantly paralyze the Defending Pokemon for a cheap and quick attacker (Quagsire) to peck away at. Switch, Balloon Berry, and/or Warp Point are pretty much staples in that deck.

    Thank you, I'll work on getting those booster packs.
    You'd be better off buying singles of the cards on ebay, or by trading on sites such as pokegym.net, good luck.
