STADIUM:

SUPPORTER:

  2. Escape Rope x2 (may increase to x3-4 OR drop from deck and add Switch cards)
SPECIAL ENERGY:

  2. *Splash Energy (if pokemon is KO'd, return that pokemon to hand, such as Keldeo)
ENERGY:
  1. Basic Water Energy x21
POKEMON/TRAINER/ENERGY = 10/25/25

* = Cards that significantly aid in strategy

STRATEGY:
Accumulate energies on M Gyarados and/or Keldeo.

POKEMON SELECTION REASONING:
For those that do not directly help carry out strategy, I feel Blastoise EX 17/83 and Seismitoad EX 20/111 are powerful cards that may be of potential benefit. Regice 24/98 disables opponent's attacks of EXs. Having some non-EX pokemon are essential, such as Suicine 30/122, in case opponent has a card like Carbink or Regice, which disables attacks of EXs.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
  1. I only play for fun within a small group of friends
  2. I dislike having duplicate pokemon cards because I'm weird like that
  3. May be willing to spend the money on cards that are suggested to me
