I call it STEEL CALL

POKIMONS(13)
3-Onix(NG)
3-Steelix
2-Corsolla(ND)-case of fire
3-Cleffa
2-Magby(in case of kings or aerodactyl)

TRAINERS(32)
3-Oak
3-Search
3-Finder
3-GOW
2-Switch
4-Lass

2-Recall
2-NGR
3-SER
1-Eco
1-Chaos
1-Healing

ENERGIES(15)

STRATEGY: build Steelix with 4 metal, and keep tail crush, when you found someone with high hp, use recall   
maybe I can use the invencible wall Erika's dratini with metal

THANKS

Pokemon
Lets get some decent support hitters in here.

-2 Corsola
-2 Magby

+2 Pichu
+2 Tyrogue

Pichu will help against decks like Typhlosion, which could tear this deck apart. Tyrogue is of course for the overused Colorless Pokemon. -_- Also, make the Onix the Southern Islands one.

I'm thinking about playing a couple Scythers and a 4th Cleffa. I'll see if we can make room...

Energy
Drop all of the Fighting Energy. They aren't needed. Add in 2 more Recycle Energy and 4 Double Colorless. With the 3 extra slots add in 2 Scyther and another Cleffa.

Trainers
Drop both Recall. I don't see any use for it in this deck. Cut the Healing Field, Chaos and one of the Switches.

+1 EcoGym
+2 Sprout Tower
+2 Professor Elm

Sprout Tower lets you get rid of your Eco and use a Super on a Sneasel or Chansey without the energies going back to their hand. Elm is great for bad hands. Say you have a hand with 3 Searches that you don't want to oak away, elm 'em back into your deck instead. :)

Your deck should now look something like this...
