This is just a little deck I made up to fight people that use cards like
Hitmonchan and Machop that deal reasonable amounts of damage quickly.

2x Chansey
2x Mewtwo
4x Abra
4x Kadabra
2x Alakazam
4x Bulbasaur
4x Ivysaur
2x Venusaur
2x Pokemon Center
2x Full Heal
3x Gust of Wind
2x Switch
2x Pokemon Breeder
1x Energy Retrieval
2x Double Colorless Energy
11x Psychic
11x Plant

This deck is made around recycling and switching things in the game.  The
Venusaurs have a pretty powerful attack as long as you can get enough energy
on them.  Energy Trans will let it "borrow" energy from your other Pokemon.
If you are about to finish up the game, you can use Kadabra for a powerful
offense, or you can evolve it for a long game.  With a Chansey or two on your
bench, an Alakazam will last a very long time by using Damage Swap.  Full
Heals are backup against poison or electric decks, and are very effective when
fighting Haunters and, to a lesser extent, Gastly.  When your opponent has out
a Hitmonchan and is kicking some serious butt, Gust of Wind it and bring out
something with expensive attacks.  The Double Colorless Energies are in case
you are forced to use Chansey in battle.  Pokemon Breeders are in case you
don't have time to keep evolving your Pokemon and want to skip right to your
Alakazams and Venusaurs.
