Need help tweaking deck

[B-Baller]

OK, so I've been playing Pokemon for about a few months now, but all that time I haven't tweaked my Ex-TRR deck. Never bought a booster pack, never changed the cards.

Since I got challenged by one of my friends, since Pokemon became popular again, I decided I needed to tweak my deck. Well, I dunno how to, cos I don't know the majority of the cards, only the ones in my deck. Any suggestions?

PS: To be exact, I have an Ex-TRR James deck.

 

[Bullados]

I don't know what's in that deck. Could you please put the card names down in order of Pokemon, Trainer, Energy? That would help out a TON.

 

[B-Baller]

Okay hold on.

4x Dratini
2x Rattata
3x Koffing
3x Marill
3x Wooper
1x Rocket's Meowth
3x Magnemite

2x Dark Dragonair
1x Dark Dragonite
1x Dark Weezing
1x Quagsire
1x Azumarill
1x Dark Magneton

13x Water Energy
7x Lightning Energy
4x Grass Energy

2x Potion
2x Energy Search
2x Rocket's Poke Ball
2x Pokemon Retriever
2x Rocket's Mission

What direction do you want to take this deck? I mean, there are about 3 or 4 different ways to build this thing, based on what you want your focus to be.

 

[B-Baller]

Well can you please show me some of the possibilities cos I'm not really sure.

There is the ever popular DragTrode, which involves using Dragonite and Dark Electrode to manipulate energy placement. Varients include R. Sneasel ex and Electrode ex.

Quagsire/Blastoise ex again manipulates energy placement by allowing multiple energy placements from the hand to your Pokemon with very little drawback.

Quagsire/Swampert. Read above.

Azumarill stall, possibly with Quagsire backup. Using a 4-4 Azumarill line with 4 Briney and 4 VS Seeker, constantly paralyze the Defending Pokemon for a cheap and quick attacker (Quagsire) to peck away at. Switch, Balloon Berry, and/or Warp Point are pretty much staples in that deck.

I think I'll try the DragTode deck, what cards should I get, and what booster packs?

 

[Bullados]

Here's the main part of the deck...

4 Dratini TRR
4 Dark Dragonair (Evolutionary Light) TRR
4 Dark Dragonite TRR
3 Voltorb TRR
3 Dark Electrode TRR

4 Rocket's Poke Ball TRR
2 Pokemon Retriever TRR

Energy:
4 Dark NG, EXP, AQ, SKY, RS, FRLG, EM
4 Dark Metal TRR
4 Rainbow TR, Promo, EXP, AQ, SKY, RS, FRLG, EM
4 R TRR

I know that isn't 60 cards, but you should consider what I have below to add to what's above, depending on preference

3 Lanette's Net Search SS, EM
Rocket's Hideout TRR
Rocket's Tricky Gym TRR
Rocket's Sneasel ex TRR

Scramble Energy DX

There might be other things in the deck that I'm just forgetting. gl, hf.
Double Rainbow Energy TATM, EM
Dark Hypno TRR
Crawdaunt ex DX? EM? (can't remember the set)

Thank you, I'll work on getting those booster packs.

Thank you, I'll work on getting those booster packs.

You'd be better off buying singles of the cards on ebay, or by trading on sites such as pokegym.net, good luck.
