This deck is all Electric Pokemon from all sets including some Lt. Surge. I left Pikachu out of this deck and want to examine which Pokemon from the different sets are better than the others.

2 Recycle Energy
26 Electric Energy

1 Mareep from Genesis, Discovery, and Destiny
1 Flaaffy from Genesis and Revelation
1 Ampharos (Genesis)
3 Voltorb (Team Rocket)
1 Dark Electrode
1 Electrode
2 Lt. Surge's Magnemite (Level 12)
1 Lt. Surge's Magneton
2 Magnemite (Team Rocket)
1 Magnemite (LC)
1 Magneton (Fossil)
1 Dark Magneton
1 Zapdos (Promo)
1 Zapdos (Fossil)
1 Rocket's Zapdos

2 Pokeball
2 Moo-Moo Milk
2 Potion
1 Super Potion
1 Energy Ark
1 Magnifier
1 Mail from Bill

I'll probably take out a couple of Energy cards. I have way too many, and do you think I have too many Healing Items too?

Now it looks like I only have only one of a card, but those evolutions follow through nicely. I just want to check which ones go best in a deck like this.

The Recycle Energy is especially for Rocket's Zapdos, so it doesn't hurt itself as much. Those Basic Battlers stall while I power up my big weapons like Ampharos.

I know for a fact that this deck needs some help, it also needs a name. I'm afraid I was never very good at Electric names.

"Meet the Blue-Eyes White Dragon of the Pokemon Trading card game."
*Play's the card and looks at it*
"Oops, that is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Instead I choose Lugia."

You've got way too much energy here. Plus you have way too many singles, and way too little draw power. The reason you see decks around with 4-4-3 of evo lines and tons of draw is so you can get the cards JUST when you need them. Without good draw, you'll have lots of problems. As many of the pokeman in your deck are being revolved out for MF², I decided to make a deck fix for you based around Ampharos from Neo 3. Why Ampharos from N3? Take a read at card.

90HP w. a [White Mana] [White Mana] [White Mana] retreat cost.
[L] Attract Current (20) Flip 3 coins. For each heads, you may search your deck for a L Energy card and attach it to 1 of your L Pokemon. Shuffle your deck afterward.
[ [White Mana] LLL] Gigavolt (40+) Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage. If tails, this attack does 40 damage and the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
Weakness: Fighting

Nice eh? L for +2 damage, and the ability to build up your bench.

// Trainer Cards
4 Focus Band
4 Double Gust
1 Time Capsule
4 Pokemon Breeder
3 Pokemon Trader
3 Mary
4 Professor Elm
4 Bill
// Energy Cards
15 Lightning Energy
// Creature Cards
2 Zapdos (LC)
3 Pichu (NG)
3 Cleffa (NG)
4 Mareep (NG)
2 Flaaffy (N3)
4 Ampharos [N3]

Your focus here is on Ampharos, and trying to get it out 2nd turn, FULLY-LOADED. which IS possible. 3 Mareeps in play first turn, use the Static Electricity attack. Next turn, use Pokemon Breeder, and evolve to Ampharos, and lay down an energy. This won't ALWAYS happen, but it can, and does from time to time. Play it in swarm mode. Try to build up all sorts of ampharos', then retreat your active one when it gets a ton of damage on it, and bring up a fresh one, ready to go. Zapdos from LC is in there just as a cleaner. Like if you need to get rid of that one typlhosion which is really annoying you really quickly. Use ampharos to quickly build up zapdos.

You might not have all of these cards, but I recommend you certainly try as hard as you can to get them. It will be worth it in the long run. Even if you have to trade lots. This is a very nice deck. Good luck. [Smile]
