Hmm. Electric/Water has to be one of the least often seen deck types, simply
because it doesn't suggest itself. Excuse me a minute... I need to sharpen my
deck-fixing machete. There we go. How can I help you? Oh, right, you've a deck
that needs fixing.
1) 4/3 Dewgong... no problem there. Electrode... problem there. A) he can't use
colorless energy (bad in a multi-color deck) and B) the purpose you seem to be
using him for is somewhat misguided. You're intending to Buzzap him onto
Dewgong? Well... The only real advantage to doing that is to get Dewgong powered
up 2nd turn. The chances of your starting out with Seel and Voltorb, then
finding Electrode and Dewgong by the second turn, are remarkably small. Now that
we've ruled out an early-game Buzzap, we have the possibility of a late-game
Buzzap. Trouble is, in the late game, we probably won't want to give away the
prize. Out goes Electrode.
Now then... We should probably go go one evo line (Dewgong) and the rest basics.
And if you're losing to haymakers, it just might be because your electric Poke
are getting Jabbed and Dewgong is getting Thunderpunched. Try taking out
Electabuzz and going to Fighting as your second color. Good... good. Hitmonchan
and Scyther should do you real nice. I often recommend a single Kangaskhan or
something similar to be searched for in time of need. You can also add a couple
of Chanseys. Regardless, I won't put either in my decklist because they're
personal touches and the deck will run fine without them.
2) I no longer recommend Fuji to alleviate decking problems. I now recommend
Rocket's solution: NGR. This handy little card will also take the place of
Energy Retrieval. If you think the retrieval needs to be in there anyway, you
can find a way to work it in by trimming some other trainers. Bill/Oak... you're
right, they should be in almost every deck, but you need more Oak these days.
3/4 would be better. We've got Item Finder too, so what else... of course.
PlusPower! This handy little card will work wonders for you. So will Gust of
Wind. We're probably going to need some space, in which case I think SER should
get the axe...
3) Hold on... did you list your energy... I dun see it. Oh well, it's easy
enough to figure out. 4 Scyther = 4 DCE. Then some water, then some fighting...
Get the idea?

Don't be alarmed at the low amount of fighting energy. Keep in mind you've got
NGR. Plus, you should rarely find yourself laying more than one energy on
Hitmonchan. He's here to open for you and to teach Lightning trainers not to
mess with your poor helpless Dewgong. In those capacities, he will perform
admirably. Good luck with this deck!
