Water/Electric deck that needs help

[Amano_Kurosawa]

This is my Gyarados/Ampharos deck, it usually works really well but I think it needs some help. The strategy is to stall the opponent with my stronger basic pokemon (suicune, palkia, and Milotic C), till I can pull out my Gyarados and Ampharos and finish my opponent off with them.

The deck list

Pokemon x23

3x Ampharos (pop series 7)
3x Flaffy (unleashed)
3x Mareep (HGSS)
4x Magikarp (Stormfront)
4x Gyarados (Stormfront)
2x Suicune (Secret Wonders)
1x Finneon (Stormfront)
2x Palkia TG (Platinum)
1x Milotic C (Supreme Victors)

Trainers and Supporters x19

3x Pokemon Communication
2x Interviewers Questions
2x Professor Elm's Training Method
3x Sage's Training
2x Switch
2x Professor Oaks New Theory
2x Energy Restore
2x Expert Belt
1x Luxury Ball

Energy Cards x18

7x Lightning Energy
11x Water Energy

Looks pretty cool.
Just a heads up, if this is for the current format, the Ampharos POP 7 and Suicune Secret Wonders are not legal.
There are 3 Ampharos legal right now [Platinum, and 2 from Heart Gold/Soul Silver].

As for the deck. I would take out the Sage's Training and put in 2 More Professor Oak's New Theory and a Palmer's Contribution OR Flower Shop Lady. Those are good for getting back your knocked out Pokemon.

I would also take out Finneon. Now, it is a cool Pokemon, however, without a Lumineon it won't be as effective as you need it to be. I would put in a Pokemon to help you get started at the beginning, such as:
Farfetch'd
Aerodactyl GL
Cleffa
Jynx

Those are just a few of the many out there. Along with taking out the Finneon, you can take out the illegal Suicune so that you have 3 of them, which gives you a great chances of starting with them.

I would put in a Pokemon to help you get started at the beginning, such as:
Farfetch'd
Aerodactyl GL
Cleffa
Jynx

Those are not good starters. Good starters are:
Smeargle UD/CL
Spiritomb AR
Sableye SF
Jirachi RR

I would recommend Smeargle of Sableye.

IMO I would do this:
-2 Suicune
-1 Finneon
-2 Palkia G
-1 Milotic C
-1 Flaffy
-1/1 G-dos
-2 Interviewers
-2 PETM
-2 Switch
-2 PONT
-2 E Restore
-1 Water

+4 Sableye
+4 Pokemon Collector
+3 Bebe's Search
+1 Azelf
+2 Uxie
+2 Warp Point
+1 Unown Q
+3 DCE

I am guessing this players is newer, so, I was giving them simple starters to get them started off instead of the complicated ones.

Yeah, the ones hatter suggested are alot more straight forward, and will probably work better for the player.
