Thanks a ton! Any comments would be awesome.
 
(on mobile) ( I have never played competitively) The problem that I see with your deck is that you have too many pokemon, and too much energy. Decks like this are why I hate that the rules PDF mentions that a deck without trainers is possible. I would recommend anywhere from 20-32 trainers in a deck. The number of Pokemon I would use is anywhere around 15. The energy count needs to be reduced as well. Do not worry about making this mistake, I corrected someone else on this same problem yesterday. Good luck in future :)
 
Thanks!

Do you have a suggestion on trainers I might use to enhance the Pokémon I do have and their particular specs? And any suggestions on Pokémon that would be best to swap out in place of those trainers?

I don't play competitively very much either, but frankly I'm skeptical about having so many trainer cards. I suppose it all depends on what those cards are, but you lose if you don't have any Pokémon to play and the Pokémon you do play can't do much without energy...
 
went offline for a while. I do not know what Pokémon to take out, as I do not want to search through everything. Vs seeker would allow you to replay supporter cards that have already been used. a few tiernos would be good to have for draw. either separate switch and lysandre or 1-2 escape ropes. I would put in a few ultra balls. the discard 1 card part can actually be useful when using vs seeker, as the opponent can mess with what is in your hand. you seem to have older cards so I would recommend Roseanne's research. Pokémon communication would be useful but do not put in more then 2. a super rod or 2 can be useful. I would remove eviolite and replace it with a hard charm or something identical. with a few professors letter and another energy retrieval I would take out interviewer's question. energy search is obsolete with professors letter. life herb can be good if you are lucky, so that is a toss up. elm and bebe are good, not many complaints. the energy numbers that I use are 5 of my secondary type, 8 of my primary type, and 3 double colorless. most pokemon cards from before the black white era are obsolete. look at other deck lists and see what they use.
