The amount of each type of card in a regular deck (not a mewtwo deck) is 
extremely important. The kinds of cards of the types are also crucial.

Energy cards:

	There should be about 27 or 28 energy cards in a deck with two types 
of pokemon. The division of the amount of energy cards to each type is 
decided by the amount of pokemon of that type you have, for example if there 
are 16 pokemon of a certain type and 8 of the other, you should obviously put 
about 18 cards of the first type mentioned and 10 of the other (this is 
approximate, you can change it around depending on the amount of energy cards 
needed). For a deck of 1 type of pokemon you can put less, around 25 or 26. A 
deck of more than two types is not very good, since you have to distribute 
the energy cards so much it is less likely to get the ones or amount you 
need. Also, if you are on a budget with cards, substitute an energy card or 
two with double colorless energy, but no more than four of them are allowed 
in a deck.

Pokemon:

	You should have anywhere from 23 to 26 pokemon in your deck in a two 
type of 1 type, which I usually prefer a two type deck, for strategy reasons. 
If you pick one type you should pick a second type that would back up the 
weakness of your first type. The first type should usually have more pokemon 
then your second type, since your first type should have stronger pokemon.

Trainer Cards:

	The rest of the space that is left in your new deck should go to 
trainer cards. The strategy of your deck should tell you the types of trainer 
cards there should be, for example if your deck has low hp put potions and 
super potions in there, if your deck needs a lot of energy card put energy 
retrieval and super energy retrievals in it, or if your deck has rare strong 
pokemon put pokemon traders in there. But whatever trainer cards you put in, 
PUT IN 4 BILLS.
