Your'e either in unlimited, casual or modified. Unlimited has a powerful, fast gameplay that toasts badly made decks in about three turns. Casual has no metagame, the players usually aren't that good, and decks tend to be scappy and made of bits and pieces. Modified is of everything past HP, and has a strict metagame and is pretty repepitive at times.

I can't help you in unlimited, but I can definitely tell you you won't get anywhere.

Casual probably won't need help.

Modified means you'll be left with the Electrivire line, the Enegies, the Potion, Switch, Wager, Energy Search, Pokeball, Steven's, Celios, and TV Reporter.

Generally, having any more than 16 energies tends to make you draw energy floods, drawing too much of energies and having nothing that you can use it on. You have too many lines, you'll equally get things you don't need too often, and you wouldn't be able to get very far anyway; by the time you charge them up they're critically injured and you can't do much about it.

The trainers suck. With the amount of energies you have you don't even need Switch, just slap an excess amount of energies and you can pay the cost. Potion is too slow, unless you play them all at once, which is a waste of 4 spaces. Energy Search is slow in comparison, getting only one or two. Pokeball needs a flip, and is thus unreliable. Gust would be good if it exists anymore. Same with the unlisted trainers I mentioned. Get more searching cards.

Your Pokémon lines are unreliable. It leaves one basic unused and thus redundant. On the other hand, the other Basic Pokémon that don't evolve are at risk of never seeing the light of the playing field; you can't search for them consistantly, and if they are critical to the win condition, it's easy to be killed off and you are left in a bad position. Condense your lines, or even better, make a good strategy and maximize the numbers of which you need.

Drop about 1/3 of the enrgies you have, and further replace with some energies that have special effects, mainly multicoloured energies.
