My son and my nephew have each put together their own "Fire Decks". They/We are new to the Pokemon TCG and the kids have asked me to do some research and help them with their decks.... So, I come here for help from you experts. Hope you can help!

(1) Typhlosion (E-cards #65)
(2) Plus Power
(3) Switch
(2) Gust of Wind
(2) Computer Search
(28) Fire Energy

My son's deck:
(4) Entei (Promo #34)
(2) Charmander (Team Rocket #50)
(2) Charmander (Basic #46)
(2) Charmeleon (E-cards #73)
(1) Charmeleon (Basic #24)
(1) Charizard (E-cards #40)*
(1) Charizard (E-cards #39)*
(4) Slugma (Destiny #82)

(4) Plus Power
(2) Double Gust
(1) Defender
(2) Pokemon Breeder
(1) Pokemon Breeder Fields
(1) Pokemon Trader
(25) Fire Energy
* He has a couple of Basic Charizards, but didn't know which Charizards to play with.

So there are the boy's decks. I hope someone here will have some advice and suggestion to offer.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

I wish that there would be a Pokémon game show.

Anyone up for making a TV edition of the Pokémon TCG?

Don't pester me "Add Neo Cleffa"--my area won't allow it!

Wow! Thank you all for your recommendations. The boys are definitely taking them to heart. The boys are on a mission to get their hands on those cards you mentioned!

I was wondering, though... (Remember, we're new!)... Why/How is "Double Gust" good? If your opponent gets to pick which one of your Pokemon to switch, how can that be good?.... Also, I was wondering about Cleffa. I noticed that a few of you suggested including Cleffa in the decks. Isn't Cleffa a Pokemon with a really small HP? I was wondering what purpose Cleffa would serve.

Please note that I am not questioning your choices. I'm sure there are reasons to have those cards (Double Gust * Cleffa) in the decks, I am merely trying to understand... (and pick up some strategy, too!)..... I am sure we're missing something about those cards... Please enlighten us!

Cleffa's just useless space that could be used for more worthwhile cards. I put just worthwhile cards in the decks, like Smoochum and Copycat. I even gave Water combat into the decks.

Cleffa is just simply a great card.
Although it has only 30HP it has that baby rule so when they attack cleffa(as long as its active), they have to flip a coin and if tails there attack doesnt work.

What is does is just simply great. Shuffle your hand then draw 7 is just really good. You can use it if you have nothing good in your hand, when you are trying to build a powerful Evolution on the bench, or just to try to prevent your opponent from attacking you.

Its worth playing 2 to 4 cleffa in each deck.
