What do you want to do with this deck? Do you want to make it Team Magma themed, Team Aqua themed, or Dark Dragonite themed? There are three completely different builds for whatever you want the deck to look like.

 

[RedMoogleXIII]

I'm not actually sure as you see its practally a fire/electric based and the water energy is for Dark Dragonair/Dark Dragonite. I added those Team Aqua/Team Maga pokemon cause of the good HP and attacks on them, but Dark Dragonite and Entei EX are my heavy hitters. its been through some modifications before. i used to run Dark Arbok with some grass energy, but removed all that. I would have put in the Fire Red/Leaf Green Arcanine and growlithes in as more fire and cause Arcanine is my favorite but the energy cost for Heat Tackle is to much. The Expedition Arcanine was much better (expically with Fisherman to support it, can get the discarded energy right back from the discard pile)

 

[Bullados]

so Dark Dragonite is the deck build you want? Here's the build...

Pokemon (23):
4 Dunsparce
4 Dratini
4 Dk Dragonair (Evolutionary Light)
3 Dk Dragonite
3 Voltorb (anything with 50 HP)
3 Dk Electrode
1 Electrode ex
1 Sneasel ex

Trainers (22):
4 Rocket's Mission / TV Reporter / Bill's Maintenance
3 Steven's Advise
2 Oak's Research / Copycat / Rocket's Admin
4 Rocket's Poke Ball
3 Dual Ball or Great Ball
2 Rocket's Hideout
2 Rocket's Tricky Gym
2 Pokemon Retriever

Energy (15):
4 DArk
4 Dark Metal
4 Rainbow
4 R
3 Lightning

Main attacker: Rocket's Sneasel or Dk Dragonite. Dk Trode is there for energy searching and manipulation. Trode ex is for a last-ditch attack and for energy retrieval. All the Trainers help you get out your stuff faster. Remember to put up a Dark Dragonair ASAP, as that's your search engine for the first 3-4 turns of the game. Tweak this as you see fit, but this is really one of the better builds of this deck.

I dont have many of those special energy or those EX pokemon
the only EX pokemon i have is
Mewtwo EX (Ruby/Sapphire)
Entei EX (Magma/Aqua)
Blaziken EX (Magma/Aqua)
Lapras EX (Ruby/Sapphire)
Torchic [Star] (Team Rocket Returns)

Seems one of my biggest problems is to little trainers and to much pokemon and energyies and types

I also have only one Dark Electrode so its not in there yet
hers my deck rebuilt its Electric/Water built around Dark Dragonite with Support from Dark Gyarados and Dark Magneton

I'm not good with decks, but here goes nothing. It looks somewhat decent, but so much dragons and stuff. Overall, I like the deck. Good work. 9.5/10. I do think you need just a touch of improvement, but I can't put my finger on it.

 

[RedMoogleXIII]

its decent enough, but i'm to short of special energy like dark, dark/metal, and rockets and a second Dark Electrode is needed before i can put them both in and replace the Dark Magenetons (i guess) and if i ever play elsewhere in a tournament i'll have to replace one of those magikarp and those copycat cards with some newer ones

 

[Cyndaquil]

For me I don't like Trainer cards so mush, i have about 30 energys, 2-8 trainers and rest for Pokemons...

Just a question, whats the Tournament Rules? ('cause i got tons of Base Set cards... >_< )

 

[Bullados]

There are currently 3 sets of Tournament rules. All are available at op.pokemon-tcg.com, so I don't feel the need to explain them here.

Trainers are the backbone of any deck. Try playing any well built Unlimited deck with 30 energies against any well built Unlimited deck with 30 Trainers. The deck with 30 Trainers will win every single time. They are extremely powerful, and need to be used any time necessary.
