You dont realy need moo-moo milk use some more fast pokemon in the begining of the game you will need them.

LUGIA RULES
 
Actually, Lugia, with how often I use Psy Shadow, the Moo-Moo Milks do come in handy. Playtesting has proved this. And this deck has never had speed problems.
 
Well, I got some Sandstorm cards (though, unfortunately, no Gardevoir ex), so I can now do some appropriate editing. I'm thinking of going with Sandstorm Espeon as my Stage 1 line, or possibly Xatu to offset Psy Shadow's damage. I'm also debating whether to switch from Mewtwo ex to Wobbuffet. I'll post an updated decklist as soon as there's one to post, but in the meantime, anyone have any recommendations on these changes?
 
Today, I tested the version below, and it worked wonderfully!

Pokemon (19):
4 Ralts (2 Link Blast, 2 Hypnoblast)
4 Kirlia (2 Super Psy, 2 Life Drain)
2 Gardevoir
1 Chansey ex
3 Eevee (SS)
3 Espeon (SS)
2 Mewtwo ex

Trainers (24):
3 Switch
3 Potion
3 Moo-Moo Milk
2 Oracle
2 Pokemon Fan Club
2 Professor Elm's Training Method
3 Copycat
1 Town Volunteers
3 Energy Switch
2 Rare Candy

Energy (17):
13 Psychic Energy
4 Boost Energy

Strategy & notes: As you can see, the Linoone line became an Espeon line. Strangely, I didn't need the Rare Candies, but I have a feeling that it would still be a good idea to keep them in. Even when, as was the case today, my opponent is having an Energy shortage, Espeon is extremely powerful. In fact, it was my attacker for most of the game.
Even so, I'm still toying with the idea of switching to a SS Xatu line. While it doesn't have the sheer power of the Espeon line, it would provide useful healing (I can get a free Psy Shadow to my Active with the right setup) and a way to damage the bench.
 
I would appreciate any comments or fixes for this deck, with one major exception. Please do not advise me to add more Gardevoir or Gardevoir ex, as I have no more Gardevoir and no Gardevoir ex. Any suggestions that would help me get the Gardevoir I do have onto the field a little quicker would be especially appreciated. I would also like opinions on whether to keep Espeon or switch to Xatu. I would appreciate if any suggestion that would have me add cards also gave suggestions on what to take out for them.

I personally would switch to Xatu so you have some more sumbstantial healing power for the damage caused by Gardevoir and you have some one with a free retreat cost and throw in star piece to get natu to evovle faster
 
Well, I don't have Star Piece, although if I get any, I'm sure I'll find a way to fit them in. Maybe with Xatu in the deck, I wouldn't need as much other healing...
 
Once I get some Jugglers, I'll see about them. However, the Pokemon that best takes advantage of Juggler is my backup hitter, so I don't really know how good an idea it is. Unlike my Blaziken deck, which uses all the Jugglers I currently have, Energy in the discard is not a good thing in this deck.
 
Made the following changes today:

-2 Pokemon Fan Club
-2 Professor Elm's Training Method
+2 Juggler
+2 Fisherman

These changes have not been noted in the above decklist.
 
I got a suggestion. Not sure what pokemon you got in the Sandstorm deck, but if you have some Wobbuffet they are great in Psychic decks. Right now the big card seems to be Gardevoir EX. Wobbuffet's Pokemon Power stops all EX pokemon from doing damage to it. Plus an added bonus is Wobbeffet is Gardevoir EX's weakness!!
 
I seem to be on a roll with modifying my decks lately. Here's the latest decklist for this one. Most of the changes came from all the suggestions I've gotten here.

Pokemon (19):
3 Ralts (SS)
3 Kirlia (1 SS, 2 Life Drain)
2 Gardevoir
1 Chansey ex
3 Eevee (SS)
3 Espeon (SS)
2 Mewtwo ex
2 Wobbuffet (SS)

Trainers (24):
2 Switch
3 Potion
3 Moo-Moo Milk
2 Oracle
2 Fisherman
2 Juggler
3 Copycat
1 Town Volunteers
2 Energy Switch
2 Rare Candy
2 Star Piece

Energy (17):
13 Psychic Energy
4 Boost Energy

Strategy and Notes: Strategy is still more or less the same as previous versions. Deck focus is Gardevoir. Main attackers are Gardevoir (late game) and Espeon (anytime). Wobbuffet and Mewtwo ex are backup hitters, and Chansey ex is a combination healer and cleaner. Kirlia, and even Ralts can be attackers in a pinch, but are meant to mainly be on the bench.
Trainers are there for more or less the usual reasons. Lots of small healing because of Gardevoir, and plenty of draw power. I managed to keep this one to 10 Supporters, and still have a pretty good Trainer engine, I think -- no easy thing in E-on.
Star Piece was an interesting suggestion. It's another combo with Gardevoir. I can Psy Shadow onto a Benched Ralts/Kirlia/Eevee, attach Star Piece, and between turns, evolve them from the deck. Too bad I couldn't do that with Wynaut even if I had it.

Am I still considering any changes? Yes. For one, I'm considering switching from Fisherman to Energy Restore, to further lower my Supporter count, though I'm not exactly leaning heavily towards making this change. After all, if a Gardevoir with a lot of Energy gets KO'd, that Energy needs to get out of the discard pile. Besides, 10 Supporters is pretty good already. Of course, with Energy Restore, I can discard Energy with Juggler and get it right back in the same turn. I'm considering dropping the Mewtwo ex's for Wynauts, for a little added search. Again, though, I'm not sure -- it does significantly decrease my offense, but it also lowers my ex count from 3 to 1.
 
Yes it is, but the decklist in the top post is not current anymore, by a long shot. The one directly before your post is current. Please make comments and suggestions based on that list.
