That deck looks like fun, but I recommend using 1 more each of Scolipede and Gothitelle instead of the Dragonite line, since the tournament legal versions of the Dragonite family are kinda energy intensive with their attacks, and having 3 Stage 2 lines in a family will make your deck too slow and it will get completely destroyed. Also, get a couple more Reshiram and use the Jirachi from HS Unleashed. And you might want to get your hands on Pokemon Collector or Professor Elm's Training Method.

Good plan! I had 2 extra card spots left so i am thinking maybe Victini or do you have any better suggestions?

You definitely need more Trainers and Supporters.

Ah ok....ill drop the 2 victini for 2 of some trainer...any suggstions? and maybe bump it down to 2 Reshi's? then i have 4 slots open for ???

Pokemon Collector and Pokemon Catcher. You won't really need the Energy Searches, so replace that with something like Judge or Copycat or Professor Oak's New Theory. Heck, I'd even consider Interviewer's Questions.

Alright, Fixed it up this look good? And thanks for all the help!

Though it's not necessary, I would say you should probably switch out Reshiram for Zekrom with a deck build like this because it will help you out more with all of the Yanmega going around. A few DCE's might not be so bad either because they can be used for Reshi/Zek counterattacks as well as Jirachi's time hollow.

Thing is i already have one Reshiram and think he looks a bit cooler lol! Also whats DCE?????

Oh and i see lots of steel\dark type pokemon locally.......from the few times i have watched people.

DCE is a common acronym in the Pokemon TCG community for Double Colorless Energy. It's in a couple different sets.

Reshiram would be better for the Steel decks, but if you go to a tournament you might see a couple Yanmega decks (they use Yanmega Prime, which has a weakness to Lightning), so maybe consider Zekrom if you go to a tournament.

Ah ok i can get a pair of zekroms pretty easy if need be....Anyhow other then that the deck look good? or do i need to take somthing out for DCE?

Take out 1 each of the Gothorita and the Venipede for the DCEs. At least, that's what I'd do. The DCEs are going to prove very useful and versatile.

Sweet done ill get to work on this deck ;)

No guarantees it'll win, of course. Player experience has a big hand in that.

Ya but as long as its solid i will be fine i can finish in the top 5 out of 30 -40 people playing magic pretty easy with out even trying ;)

Well with Pokemon it might be a little different story since there are a couple very good decks running rampant right now, and a lot of people are playing them. If you know Pokemon well enough you can beat a newbie who's running one of the popular decks, of course. ;)

Ya lol at any rate my Gothitelle hould be able to 1 hit most things if i get enough energy on her!
