Hello.. Ill be glad to help your 4 yr olds deck. Ill add some basic easy
cards since he is little. We will leave the dark vileplume in the deck
cos that stops the trainers.

Pokemon: 21
4 Oddish (Rocket)
3 Dark Gloom
3 Dark Vileplume
3 Dratini (rocket
2 Dragonair
3 Scyther
3 Pinsir

I added more Pokemon like dark dragonair to easily find dark gloom and
dark vileplume. Scyther and Pinsir are very good pokemon that are tough
against haymaker pokemon.

Trainers: 17
4 Bill
3 Professor Elm
2 Oak
3 Pokemon Trader
3 Gold Berry
2 Pokemon Breeder

I added bill for drawing power. and added elm and oak for even more
drawing power.. Gold berry is very good for the scyther and pinsir once
they get 40 damage as well.. And i added 2 breeders to get dark
vileplume out by turn 2-3

Energy: 22
4 Double Colorless energy
18 Grass energys

I made this deck centered around 1 type of energy.. its easier for
little kids and most players play with only 1 type of energy as well
like me. Anyway i added some drawing power to the deck and i added
pokemon that can fight good with huge damage such has pinsir's
guillotine attack. The thing you want to do is basically get dark
vileplume out quick and just attack your opponent with pinsir, scyther
or dragonair.

Thanks for sending in this deck!
