It'd help if you post a strategy and the set the cards are from ;)

 

[Dark Piplup]

There from different sets. My strategy is to quickly take all my prize cards

 

[donavannj]

That's not a strategy... a strategy is how you go about taking those prizes. And it'd help to know which sets each card is from, since some Pokemon have cards in multiple sets, or even multiple cards in the same set, and each version has different attacks and HP.

 

[Magnevire]

While we're at it, you should make the card list less....painful to read. Look around some of the other threads, you'll find how to do it properly. I can say that you need far more trainer/supporter/stadiums, Rosanne's, Bebe's, and Rare Candy head the list, and you need to fix up your evolution lines. 2-1-2s as opposed to 3-2-1s, and once we establish what sets the pokemon are from, you'll have to cut down on a couple of the lines. You should really have, at most imo, 3 evolution lines, normally two, though some make do with one (most notably in recent memory, Speedrill).

 

[Dark Piplup]

I was just kidding. I try to evolve quickly.

The count of energies is good +1
Too less trainers. -1
Too much Pokemon. -1
i am all for counts and you have 23 energies, 7 trainers and 30 pokemon.
take at least 10 pokemon out and put 10 in.

Well, the count of Energy isn't that good.
I'd remove 10 Energy and replace them for trainers such as Bebe's Search, Broken Time-Space, Roseanne's Research etc.

I'd remove 7-8, not 10, since we won't have Roseanne's Research for 2010-11 Modified, unless an upcoming set reprints it.

And take out a few evolution lines, especially at least one of the Stage 2 lines. 3 Stage 2 evolution lines is far too many because it drastically slows the deck down.

Even after you update your list, I think you should take out 3-1 cloyster....I dont think i have ever seen a cloyster that was competitive enough to earn a spot in a deck.

Also, you could tell us if you're a junior, senior, or master. Then we can help you as far as complexity of play.

 

[Dark Piplup]

Actually the cloyster is one of my best. I guess you're right that I don't have enough trainers. I'll take your advice and put some more in. And I'd say I'm between junior and senior.

you should add a japanese cobalion card in your deck XD.
