I have been slowly improving my "Psychic Flux Deck" over the past couple
months.  I personally enjoy playing decks that require me to use every ounce
of strategy I can conjure up.  With the addition of the Team Rocket cards I
have been able to improve my deck immensely.  It handled most of rounds well
as long as I took my time and used my trainers wisely.  Beware. this is a
trainer oriented deck.  Watch out for decks that utilize "Lass" and "Dark
Vileplume", because this will prevent you from using "Pokemon Breeder". 
Thus making it increasingly more difficult for you to evolve your "Abra" to
"Alakazam" or "Dark Alakazam".

15-Psychic Energy
4-Double Colorless
4-Rainbow energy

Beginning Game Strategy:
The theory behind the "Psychic Flux Deck" is to stall by using Chansey and
Scyther.  Avoid placing down energy on these Pokemon until you evolve an
Abra into an Alakazam/Basic.  This ordeal is sped up by the use of Bills,
Computer Search, Pokemon Breeder, and Challenge.  The Challenge Card is a
great way to get as many Chanseys or Scythers you want or it can double as a
fourth Bill card.  You can keep Chansey and Scyther alive by using Scoop Up
or retreating. Use your Pokemon Centers sparingly.  You will need this card
for Alakazam's Damage Swap tactics.  Item Finder is great for getting a hold
of a badly needed trainer card.  Even though I prefer to use Gust of Wind
cards for easy kills, you can also use them to stall your opponent by
gusting in a Pokemon with no energy.

Middle Game Strategy:
Once you have your Alakazam/Basic out the real fun begins.  Try to also
evolve a     Dark Alakazam/Team Rocket.  Use Pokemon Center if your all
Pokemon are badly wounded or use spare Scoop Ups to heal individual Pokemon.
  It is very important to remember avoid using when you use Pokemon Center
or Scoop up on Pokemon that have energy cards.  Use Rainbow energy on your
Scythers so they have the option of using their Swords Dance ability.  Use
your Chanseys for Damage Swap reservoirs.  Your Dark Alakazams are mainly
used for hit and run tactics or for Pokemon that have resistance towards
Psychic attacks.  When using Dark Alakazams Teleport Blast try to place a
Scyther as your active Pokemon, thus taking advantage of Scyther's free
retreat cost.

End Game Strategy:
Use you're Mr. Mimes and Gust of Winds to knock out any of your opponents
weak Pokemon.  If you need any spare room on your bench for Mr. Mime use
Scoop up.  If all else fails go on a suicide mission with Chansey and Double
Edge!  Remember to use your trainers wisely.
