Hi
GLitcH. This deck works fairly well in tournement play but lately I havn't been
doing so well. Could you give this deck a tune-up, and point out if I'm not
using the right cards? The strategy is board control and quick death for the
oppenent. Kinda lika a hay, only with different pokemon.

Hey there! Your deck is looking pretty good, but we’ll be able to make a few changes. I feel like there is something I need to say…but I can’t think of anything else, so onto the deck!
Hmm, if you are using Sneasel you may want a little more than 10 Pokemon. Let’s increase that count 1 in order to improve your chances of getting one on your opening hand. I’m assuming your Mewtwo is the Movie Promo one…if not it is now ;). Add in 1 more Ditto to help out Sneasel. That’ll bring you up to 12 Pokemon and we need to drop 2 cards. That should be about it for here.
Time Capsule isn’t too good here, and it ends your ability to use trainers so we’ll drop it for 2 Nightly Garbage Run. They serve the purpose much better and don’t have that bad affect. The Chaos Gym and Resistance Gym aren’t going to go well in this deck, since you rely heavily on trainers and you already have Sneasel to cover your only big weakness, Psychic. We’ll drop those Gyms for 3 EcoGym to protect Sneasel’s Darkness Energy. Since you’re going to have EcoGym you might as well drop the ER/SERs. That’ll leave us with 3 spots available. Add in 1 CPU Search and since you’re concentrating on a quick death for the opponent we’ll add in 1 more Plus Power.
Energy
Drop 1 Psychic Energy and add
in 2 Rainbow Energy. You can count the Rainbow Energy as Darkness Energy if you
want, it just won’t have the special effects of Darkness Energy (adding 10
damage to your attack). That should make sure you have enough Energy for
Sneasel when you need it.
Your deck should look like
this:
Pokemon - 12
3 MP Mewtwo
3 Sneasel
2 Gligar
3 Ditto
1 Cleffa
Trainers - 32
4 Oak
3 Bill
3 Gust Of Wind
2 Scoop up
4 Computer Search
3 Item Finder
4 Rocket’s Sneak Attack
4 PlusPower
2 Nightly Garbage Run
3 EcoGym
Energy – 16
4 Double Colorless Energy
4 Darkness Energy
6 Psychic Energy
2 Rainbow Energy
Good luck with the new version!!
