Hey, Keegan....

I love Grass decks! Insects I can take or leave, but these are actually some of my favorite Pokémon, so I thought it would be fun to fix your deck.

Pokémon:

Ah, you have plenty of Pokemon here!  Your biggest dilemma is an overwhelming weakness to Fire.  There are just too many fossil Magmars out there to ignore that.  But if you want to stick to the insect theme, there just aren't any colorless alternatives.  So I'll just add in some Kangaskahn and get some drawing power for you.  If you really want to stick with insects and have no problems with Fire pokemon, then just take them out.  Other than that, looks good!

Trainers:

Anything with 16 or more Pokemon, I like to use Pokemon Trader.  It let's you get the right Pokemon without discarding cards, and since you are working with evolutions, that should work for you.  More Comp Search should help also.  Let's dump the Full Heals and the Super Potion, though.  PlusPower for 2nd kill Sword's Dances will help knock out 70 HP Pokemon.  Switch for Kanga, since his retreat cost sucks.

Energy:

Me thinks you forgot to list your energy *grin*. But we'll just add it in here.  Grass of course, and some Double Colorless for Scyther, Pinsir and Kangaskahn.  We'll keep the speed level down on this one.
