Perfect deck

[Absoltrainer]

In a deck there are 3 parts. The Pokemon, the Energy and the Trainers.
Now what would be a good numer for each part and what would the max number for each part be.
Would 23 pokemon be too much and would 16 energy be too less?

Thanks in advance

16 energy is generally plenty...

 

[ChubbyChilupa135]

It all depends on the type of deck u r using!!! Cause a deck that does really well usually needs like 30 trainers or something around there so that way trainers can help u win!!!

I normally go 17-18 enrgies, 12-16 pokemon, and anywhere between 26-31 trainers.

 

[Absoltrainer]

well does anyone think 23 pokemon is too much. I always thaought that would be the maxium amount

 

[ChubbyChilupa135]

yea that's a little more than u should have unless u r counting the Holon Poke's as Pokemon!!

IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE DECK


I've personally played decks with 27 Pokemon before (Holons counting as energy). It works fine because it was a deck that could survive with minimal trainers and energy.

 

[Absoltrainer]

No holon are not in count.

 

[ChubbyChilupa135]

wOw! Flaming Spinach!!! U don't have much room for trainers!!

I agree with spinach on this one. It is ridiculous to suggest that there is one perfect build for all decks.
A 14-21-25 build may be perfect for LBS but not for Powdacham.

THANK YOU Finally someone on the thread just ended this pointless topic.

The Perfect deck would be one with sixty cards.

I only build decks the way the starter deck with Macham taught me.

20 Pokemon
30 Energies
10 Trainers

can't go wrong with the basics.

Secret deck plays 33 basics and no energy, I think thats a pretty standard way opf deck building.

 

[metagross]

Go with 16 Energies then adjust the number according to playtesting.

The guy that taught you is a n00b. Obviously 70 energy is better

 

[ryanvergel]

20 pkmn
15 energy
25 trainers


thats the general, general listing, normally the numbers deviate by 1-2 for each category(not counting t2 decks)

i'm with Spinach on this one. it depends on the deck, nothing is perfect for all decks. i usually try to stick to less than 20 pokes, more then 20 trainers and less than 20 energy in decks that don't really matter how they are built, but ryanvergal's looks good so you might go for that. but there is NO perfect set of cards for a deck. none
