Any help would be appreciated, I've only been playin Pokemon for a few weeks now so I know my deck needs a TON of work. It's called Psychic Search and my basic strategy is to use Dark Dragonair, Dark Dragonite, and Sabrina's Drowzee to get out all the cards I need and Kangaskhan, Wobbufet,Chansey, and Mr. Mime to stall.And since I only have one of some cards I use Nightly Garbage Run to get them back. Also I have Light Dragonite in there because since I'm so new I mostly play at league, where Sneasel is a widely used card .
Pokemon Sabrina's Abra Lv.18 2 Sabrina's Abra Lv.12 1 Sabrina's Kadabra Lv.41 2 Sabrina's Alakazam Lv.44 1 Sabrina's Gastly Lv.9 2 Sabrina's Haunter Lv.29 1 Sabrina's Gengar Lv.39 1 Sabrina's Gengar Lv. 42 1 Sabrina's Drowzee Lv.18 2 Wobbuffet 1 Mr. Mime 1 Dratini 2 Dark Dragonair 2 Dark Dragonite 1 Light Dragonair 1 Light Dragonite 1 Eevee Lv.9 1 Dark Espeon 1 Kangaskhan 1 Unown D 1 Neo 4 Chansey 1
Trainers Potion 2 Energy Removal 2 Bill 1 Energy Retrival 1 Saffron City Gym 1 Sabrina's Psychic Control 1 Energy Stadium 2 Super Energy Removal 1 Sabrina's Gaze 1 Computer Search 2 Nightly Garbage Run 1

I tried not to change that much ... but your not going to win with all those random cards in there (no offence) but try to get some of these cards ... this isn't a bad deck for a beginer . I tried to keep most of the cards the same so you didn't have to get that much cards . Hope I helped ya ...

For a newcomer, you look talented! A v.good deck, but add in a couple more dragons. Also, even though it is rare, treat Erika's Dratinis to an Erikas Dragonair. Erika's Dragonair's high HP can Stall and fight for you.

You are off to a good start with a fine deck. Like the others, I will offer fixes that should be within your means to achieve, resourcewize and otherwize. Unlike them, I will do some explaining so that you (and perhaps others) can learn how to build more efficient decks.
Starting with your Pokemon, let’s separate the strong ones from the weak ones first. Your Sabrina’s Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam line is just great. Kadabra works well in combination with Mr Mime. Its Life Drain attack would do 50 damage even to a resistant pokemon such as Sneasel – because the wording says “Damage Counters” Then Mime would finish the job (which you could not do with Psyshot) Of course you could also evolve to S Alakazam and Psylink Mr Mime’s attack. But let’s note that for shenanagins such as this you should work in a few Recycle Energy so that you can retreat virtually for free. By the way, Try and get all 3 Abra’s Lv. 18.
Now even though it does not share the weakness to its own type, the Gengar line is pitiful. Just take it out. I mean it is nice to kill benched babies but not worth waiting for the lucky coin flip. And 40 damage for 3 psychic energys is not worth waiting to get your 2d stage.
Now the Dratini line is quite enabling, since Dark Dragonair helps you get all the other Evolutions, including Dark Dragonite which helps you get the basics, plus there is some fight in them. Which cannot be said for Light Dragonair. That card should only be used as a stepping stone to Light Dragonite. But I would find a way to add another Dark Dragonite instead.
Eevee: Level 14 is better than Level 9 but the Promo, level 7 is the best. As soon as anything in play evolves, you get to go find your Espeon. You should add to this line.
The following cards are lame: Wobuffet, Sabrina’s Drowzee, N4 Chansey, and even Kangaskhan (but less so). Substitute Cleffas (either N1 or Promo), a 2d Unown D, and a couple of Girafarig Lv 30. This will make up for losing the Gengar line. The 50 % Confusion is worth the risk because it is more disruptive than Sleep and them.
OK your Trainers are OK, Remove Bill for either Oak or Elm and you will gain drawing power. Sabina’s Psychic Control is only half a card (visualize cutting it in half with a pair of sizzors) and Energy Stadium will surely benefit your opponent just as much as you. Try and get a Gold Berry or Switch worked in instead. So, this is what a new deck might look like:
3 Sab Abra 18 2 Sab Kadabra 41 1 Sab Alakazam 44 3 Dratini 2 Dk Dragonair 2 Dk Dragonite 2 Eevee 7 1 Dark Espeon 1 Espeon 45 2 Cleffa 2 Unown D 1 Girafarig 30 1 Mr Mime
OK, you have 14 Basic Pokemon – which is good for avoiding Mulligans and early turn KO’s. Too many evolutions for a serious deck but not bad for starting out and helped be the Dark Dragon Pokemon Powers.
1 Professor Elm 1 Professor Oak 2 ER 2 Potion 1 Energy Retrieval 1 Saffron City Gym 1 SER 1 Sabrina’s Gaze 2 CPU 2 NGR 1 Switch 1 Gold Berry 1 Focus Band 1 Gust of Wind
18 Trainers is moving your deck away from the “Theme Deck numbers” and into the big leagues.
2 Recycle Energy 17 Psychic Energy
So there you have it, it is not my suggestion that you adopt these changes, only to think about how they would improve things and then see what you feel worth giving a try. I know that by reducing your Stadium card count you get to where Eco Gyms could deflate your SER strategy – so think of what would work more to your advantage besides Energy Stadium (Imagine what would happen if you played against a Typhlosion deck with Energy stadium in Play – on the other hand, this would be the bane of a Feraligatr or a Rocket’s Zapdos) Congradulations on your fine start: not only do you have a deck that is “pretty good” but you are taking advantage of the world of bulletin board help. Finally here is a good "general rule" to advise beginners: < It is much better to select a card because of how it will contribute to the overall effectiveness of you deck than because you happen to have it on hand. > Do not shy away from trading like mad, etc. to get yourself some Cleffas and like that.
