Subject: Rain - Chansey Metal'N Edge
Hey, I want to know how to build this archetype properly, so can you please fix my deck. Thanks! Chansey's Metal'N Edge

14 Pokemon
2 Unown N
4 Chansey
3 Cleffa
3 Scyther (Jungle)
2 Igglybuff (Discovery)

16 Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy
4 Recycle Energy
4 Metal Energy
4 Grass Energy

30 Trainers
4 Proffesor Oak
4 Computer Search
4 Super Energy Removal
2 Energy Removal
4 Gold Berry
3 Healing Fields
2 Item Finder
3 Gust of Wind
2 Nightly Garbage Run
2 Energy Charge

Attack With Chansey,Heal, Repeat, Remove Energy, Scyther for backup

-------------------------------

Not a bad deck at all. It just needs a few minor tweaks and it should be ready to go.

Pokimon
Drop a Chansey and TecH in a Tyrogue. I'm beginning to like this card even more everyday. A 50% of hitting Clefable and Electabuzz for 60 is pretty nice. Although Clefable and Electabuzz don't cause a threat towards this deck, other Metal Chansey decks could.

Energy
All you really need in this deck is the obvious: 4 Metal, 4 Recycle and 4 DCE. Since Scyther is the only one that uses Grass on the occasional Swords dance, I suggest cutting all 4 Grass Energy. We'll use the 4 extra slots below...

Trainers
Start off by filling up those 4 extra slots by adding in the following cards:

+1 Item Finder
+3 Lass

Lass + Eeeeeeek = Good

Even up the Energy denial a bit and drop an SER for an ER. Pichu is a very popular card that can hurt this deck. It takes out Igglybuff/Unown [N] in two Zzaps. I strongly suggest cutting a Gust and teching in a Scoop. One last thing, drop a Healing Fields for another Energy Charge.

Chansey's Metal'N Edge

-Pokimon [14]
3 Chansey
3 Cleffa (NG)
3 Scyther
2 Igglybuff (ND)
2 Unown [N]
1 Tyrogue

-Energy [12]
4 Double Colorless Energy
4 Recycle Energy
4 Metal Energy

-Trainers [34]
4 Professor Oak
4 Computer Search
4 Gold Berry
3 Item Finder
3 Energy Removal
3 Super Energy Removal
3 Energy Charge
3 Lass
2 Gust of Wind
2 Nightly Garbage Run
2 Healing Fields
1 Scoop Up

Lass/Energy Charge should help against SER threats towards Chansey. Gold Berry/Healing Fields is obviously recovery options for Chansey after Double Edging.

Hope I helped.
