Playing competitively again :D

Hello everyone!
I use to play Pokemon TCG back in the day when Wizards of the coat ran the TCG of pokemon. I want to get back into it BUT I have no idea what cards or deck are any good just hoping maybe you guys could be me an idea. I know the format is changing soon *or so I'm told* also I'm not looking for a deck list... just common cards that are REALLY useful until I'm able to get a hang of how the game is played.

*last tournament I played in supporters were just coming into play*
 
RE: playing competitive again :D

Popular cards that will likely stick around?

Professor Juniper
N
Skyla
Colress
Pokemon Catcher
Max Potion
Ultra Ball
Rare Candy (if you run stage 2 pokemon)
Heavy Ball
Level Ball
Team Plasma Ball (if you run plasma)
Colress Machine (if you run plasma)
Float Stone
Hypnotoxic Laser

Just some to give you an idea

Popular decks.. well there are many. Plasma (TDK) is big right now. Focuses on Deoxys ex, Thundurus ex, and Plasma Kyurem to deal a lot of damage quickly; all basics. Darkrai ex decks typically run Darkrai ex (3-4), Sableye (to retrieve items), and Plasma Absol and thanks to Sableye tend to run a lot of Trainers to be a type of toolbox deck. Blastoise decks run Blastoise, Keldeo ex (takes advantage of many water energies) and Black Kyurem ex from Plasma Storm to do high damage.

Moved to New Player Help because it is more fitting for what you are trying to learn.

Every deck runs 4 Pokemon Catcher. They are $15 a piece.
