Beginner Decks

So a couple of kids on my street were showing off their Pokemon cards yesterday then I showed them mine and they loved it! I also mentioned to them that they should learn to play the game and that I would be happy to teach them. Also these kids are friends with my son so I'm not being the creepy adult haha!

I have created created three 30 card decks which they can use to learn the mechanics of the game and pick up the basics and have based them on the starter pokemon from Sun and Moon. Do you think this is a good base in which to start them on and build?

Pokemon 9

4x Fire Starter Basic
3x Fire Starter Stage 1
2x Fire Starter Stage 3

Items 10

Professor's Letter x3
Potion x2
Big Malasada x1
Switch x2
Nest Ball x1
Energy Retrieval x1

Supporters 5

Tierno x3
Professor Kukui x1
Team Skull Grunt x1

Energy 6

Fire x6

I can then switch the Pokemon and energies but just keep the trainers. I have tried to minimise the amount of deck searching and shuffling they need to do and remove any discard hands stuff.

What do you think?

So after some more thought and discussions with some people this is the new trainers list that I have come up with

Supporters - 5

Hau x2
Tierno x1
Shauna x2

Items - 10

Professor's Letter x2
Switch x2
Potion x2
Energy Retrieval x2
Ultra Ball x2

I have decided to include and electric option for the kids to choose from but not completely sure on what to go with at the moment I have out:

Pikachu x3
Raichu x2
Electrike x3
Manectric x2
Tynamo x2
Electrik x2

Tempted to go with either the Pikachu or Electrike line with the Tynamo's to provide the draw support. Do you feel that a mixture of these electric types is on a similar level to the starter pokemon or not?

Maybe work in a big basic in each (Turtanator or Volcanion for the fire, Zapdos for the lightning) alongside the evos?
