Sorry for the double post, but is anyone gonna rate my deck?

 

[donavannj]

I would, but I'm kinda busy. Are you looking to make it legal to play at tournaments?

 

[Fithboy]

Maybe...
I don't live in a city, so it'd be quite a long journey in the car for me to get to any organized play events.

 

[donavannj]

It's also hard to rate without a strategy. I will say that you need fewer Pokemon and more Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums just by looking at your card spread, though. And why do you have so many different families you seem to plan to attack with? It's not space efficient, and 3 Stage 2 lines is kinda slow.

 

[Fithboy]

Okay. First put out Infernape or Monferno as your active Pokemon then switch with Gegar if Infernape/Monferno can't kill it. If Pheobe's stadium is in play Gengar has no retreat cost. If the opponent sends a EX/LVX attack with Infernape/Moferno then switch to Sableye who cannot be effected by EX/LVX attacks if Pheobe's Stadium is in play. Machamp is there for backup. If all else fails send out Machamp because it has some pretty high attack power. The other pretty high thing it has is retreat cost. That's why I've put the switches in. When Machamp is defeated use the Pokemon Rescue to get it back. Then evolve it from the spar Machop and Machoke. Also attach a Holon Energy FF to Machamp and Infernape. Keep Unown D on your bench so you can draw more cards. If you need more cards use the TV reporters, Celio's Network and Engineer's Adjustments to get more.
I'm thinking of removing Machamp and adding a Magmortar or more physic types. Do you think I should?

Thanks for the help.

 

[Fithboy]

I may add the Smoochum from HG/SS Base Set.

 

[donavannj]

What does that Smoochum do again?

Also, if you feel the family Machamp is the excess line, go ahead and remove it.

 

[Fithboy]

Here:

I thought of maybe putting a few in the deck, sending them to sleep with something, the sticking them out when I haven't got any good cards left on the bench.

 

[donavannj]

You'd have to get some way to keep them asleep, though... sleeping is too unreliable of an effect.

 

[Fithboy]

Yeah. What else do you think would be suitable instead of Machamp & Co.?

 

[donavannj]

Um... well... both Typhlosion from HGSS (regular and Prime) are good together, and Typhlosion Prime works well as when combo'd with 1 or 2 Ninetales HGSS, which discards fire energy to draw three cards with it's PokePower, while Typh. Prime brings the energy back onto the field with it's PokePower. And they're also all Fire-types. The regular HGSS Typhlosion is an good attacker, too.
