This deck has not participated in any tournys so, it is a little 
inexperienced. But, you have been posting some decks that have no tourny 
reports, instead of a tourny report, I will give a detailed list of reasons 
why all my cards are in my deck and explain how the deck works. Her it is...

POKEMON

4 machop - A basic that can deal heavy damage and evolve in to a powerful 
pokemon
2 machoke - well, I am not to fond of its attacks, but it is pretty good
1 machamp - My heavy hitting, super powerful pokemon, he has served me well
2 dratini - at least he has got a resistance to psy
2 dragonair - I love hyperbeam, it can render pokemon useless and take of 
damage
2 spearow - an ok pokemon, I love its free retreat cost and it has decent 
attacks
1 fearow - ah, I love this card, its got free retreat, and agility. Drill 
peck is also good
2 hitmonchan - 20 damage on the first turn, 70 hp, a basic, can do 40, nuff 
said
2 ryhorn - another 70 hp basic, can do 30 damage, and leer is a good staller
1 rydon - 100 hp, same move as ryhorn allows you to evolve whenever you want 
because it has the same energy cost and a new move that can devestate your 
foes
1 chansey - a staller and suicide attacker
1 tauros - a basic with 60 hp, possible 30 damage, or possible 70 damage, 
great
1 farfetch'd - very good

TRAINERS

3 bill - good card drawing power
1 oak - just in case your hand isn't up to your expectations
2 energy removal - to screw with your opponent and make him/her mad
1 sup. energy removal - even better than a regular energy removal
2 gust of winds - this is devestating and annoying to your opponent 
2 plus power - helps hitmo and others take out weak basics
1scoop up - for chansey mainly
1 comp search - to find and locate whatever I need

ENERGY

23 fighting energy - for all of my fighting pokemon
2 double colorless - for allof my colorless pokemon

Now, the deck works like this, it doesnt really matter wich basic you get ( 
except for dratini ) because they are all very good and strong. These were 
put in the deck to easily destroy basics before they can evlove. The gust of 
winds can bring out those pokemon on the bench and with plus power maybe even 
kill them in one shot. The evolved forms are just in case your opponent 
slipped by the strong basics and evolved. The machamp is my main hitter and 
is there to destroy all the polywraths and blastoises and venusaurs and 
whatever. The fearow is one of my faves because it has great attacks and can 
get out of the front lines whenever it wants. The double colorless makes it 
easy to power up and use quickly. Also the dragonairs are great for sucking 
up your opponents energy and doing fairly good damage. The double colorless 
applies to him to. The tauros is my favorite basic other than hitmo because 
of its high starter hp and attacks. I have killed many a magikarp and 
squirtle and bulbasur with this beast. So, the real strategy is to attack 
fast and first so you can get a quick win. But the trainers help you find 
everything you need. The bills and the comp search are very helpful. The gust 
of wind and the plus powers are for killing those basics. And some of my 
basics are great stallers ( chansey, ryhorn ). Well, that is my deck and 
strategy. Please put this on your site.
