Hello, my name is Neal, and I am 14 years old. I have been using this deck for around a month, and in the begining I could beat everyone, but they all switched to haymakers just to beat me. I want to know what I can do to stand a chance against them.

My strategy revolves around clefable's awesome metronome attack, and then I use dragonite and dodrio's pokemon powers to back him up. As a side note, I prefer Gambler in evolution heavy decks because if one dragonite is a prize, I can't afford to throw the other away.

 For an all colorless deck, this isn't too bad. You've got a pretty strong strategy here... and there's nothing technically wrong with this deck. I warn you, though, that your Clefairy and Clefable's weakness to fighting, and your Dodrio family's weakness to electric might cause you some trouble in areas heavy in Haymaker.

Advice to you is this:

1. Drop your Dratini and Doduo lines down to 3-2-2 and 3-2 respectively. This will open up some room for trainers which will speed up this deck.

2. Now, with the open spaces you've got, add 3 Pokemon Traders. I know they are a rare card, but they will allow you to go fishing for that evolution card or the basic you need to get the Metrinome, the Step In, or the Retreat aid going.

3. Drop your Bills down to 3, and add 2 Gust of Wind. Gust one of your opponent's unpowered, weak, or generally crappy basics to the front, and kill it quickly. Kills=prizes, and prizes=wins in Pokemon TCG.

Try these quick tips, and let me know if this helps your deck out.
