    I don't really know anyone who plays with their own cards, but usually when I duel someone, they use one of the decks I constructed, which are made up of cards I've collected since the beginning. Of course, these are just casual duels. I've built one deck that usually works really well (the one I tend to let my opponent use), but the others are a little... blah.

    I was teaching one of my cousins how to play a couple days ago and I almost never drew any other Basic Pokémon (I would've lost on like the second turn if not for the sake of extending the game to teach him). Maybe it was just bad luck on my part, but I feel that the deck is missing something crucial.

    I should probably note that I have never been one to buy cards often or in bulk. There are plenty of cards that I don't have (I've never completed a set) and the only doubles I have are commons and uncommons (and I'm even missing some of those). I slowed down even further on buying cards after the DP sets. I've bought a couple BW/XY starter decks and tins, though.

    I'd like these two decks to be able to hold their own against each other, but also not be completely useless against other non-competitive decks.

    EDIT: Here's a video of some of my rarer cards, if that helps with ideas.

    This is just a quick look through my extra cards. I didn't look through my cards that I only have one copy of (except my rare ones). Also, I'm thinking about adding Absol ex (EX Power Keepers) and maybe Weavile (BW Next Destinies) to the Dark/Fighting deck and dug up another Double Colorless Energy as well as a Recover Energy.

    Put 3 Bebe's Search in each deck.

    Then try to find a few more Roseanne's Research, because that card is amazing and every unlimited deck should run 4 of it.

    That's just at a quick glance. Someone else might have better ideas with these and I'll probably pop back in sometime tomorrow evening to give it a more in-depth look.
     
    Found 2 more Roseanne's Research (so I guess I'll give 2 to each deck) and an Amulet Coin in another deck, but I wonder if I should take them out to fix one of the above decks or if I should be trying to fix this one instead... what do you think has more potential (the Dark/Fighting deck or the following Psychic/Lightning deck)? If the Dark/Fighting deck, which cards should I remove?

    EDIT: Found another Cheren and Double Colorless Energy.

    Thanks for the feedback! I didn't use Bill, but I found a couple cards that do practically the same thing with an added bonus or cards that I thought would be more useful. I've not tested them yet, but I feel that they have improved significantly.
