Ouch! United in its Water type, that deck packs a punch. A few Fighting Pokémon or Fire or Psychic could help if you face a trainer who likes Electric or Grass, both which your Pokemon are weak against. Or, a few Colorless Water-born creatures, like Dratini, Dragonair and perhaps, for a bit of a Stall, Dragonite.

Aipom.

--------------------
Aipom is a Monkey Pokémon. It swings from tree to tree. It is cute, but if threatened it will not hesitate to use its Hyper Beam to annihilate the threat. Aipom works well with its cousin, Mankey. They battle side by side in most confrontations.

You know, it helps if you have a strategy. This thing is all over the place, and no way could I see it winnign a game. Your deck needs some MAJOR help. Too many pokemon, not enough trainrs, and too much energy. Let's make it a Kingdra variant. This thing may actually see some play after turn 1.

4x Horsea
4x Seadra
3x Kingdra
3x Cleffa
3x Scyther

this provides back up for your main attacker and is focused.

4x Oak
4x CPU
4x IF
4x ER
3x DBL gust
3x Gold Berry
3x Lass
3x SER

and these trainrs offer a lot of support and disruption that can help you get Kingdra out.

12x Water
3x Recycle

Or something of that sort.

Sorry if you think I sounded harsh or anything, but don't try to tell me this deck is undefeated and all that. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!

AW GEEEZE!!! if you cant detect the strategy by just looking at the key words (blastoise base, elekid, cleffa,) to power up with blastoise and get cards with cleffa. then the next keywords are(kingdra, dark blastoise, base dewgong,suicune) they are the "power house" of the deck.i try to get them on the bench, while i get the next keywords on active position (articuno promo/fossil, light dewgong) i use articuno because good attack, resistance, no weakness. and if i get light dewgong out for bench gaurd aginsed for my "power houses" !!!!!! so i DO have a strategy!!

I don't know if you could call it a strategy. A strategy is something thati s focused. This thing is too slow to do anything, and you shoudl only run 1 evo line with support! So let's see, your strategy is trying to use 1 cleffa to power up 5 evos and kill everyone? What's wrong with that?

-SER
-ER
-Slowness
- NO draw Power
-too many singles
-unfocused

get what I'm saying here? Singles have a 1/53 chance of being drawn without draw power, and may be in the prizes. It doesn't work! You have to have something that is stable. This is NOT stable. The strategy is not consistant. ANY deck that i can think of would ahve an advantage over the slow gameplay of this deck. If you made it focused, it would have draw power and disruption, healing and stable pokemon. You need to play sufficient trainrs and a main pokemon with back up. Your main Pokemon IS your "powerhouse," as you call it. You do not need multiple excess Pokemon that sit on the bench, get susted out after and SER, and slowly KO'd or maybe even a OHKO. My point is that the deck is all oer the place, and it needs help. So, no, I can detect no strategy in this deck whatsoever. Figure out what you want your deck to do. Pick something like ER, a main pokemon that supports the strategy and back-up. Good trainers athat support the strategy and not too much energy. See the Kingdra deck I made for you (it wasn't for my own health) it is much more stable and will do you more good.

Trust me! I know what I'm saying!

PS- you're not supposed to make personal notes. This will get a title change or locked.
