Hi, I'm specifically asking here about how I should go about making this deck with the next rotation cycle, what exactly should I replace with stuff like virbank city gym and Hypnotoxic lasers? Are there any good substitutes for this deck? I was maybe thinking crobats or crawdaunts?

Also keep in mind this is also my very first deck as I only started two weeks ago, my local hobby shop has league every friday and a person was selling cards from his old collection and some of these cards was acquired through this way.

Any feedback is welcome, I primarily want ways to make this deck usable after the rotation, and general feedback on the deck. I value consistency over everything, and the entire deck really revolves around getting trevenant out on my first turn.

Id suggest:
- 1 Trevenant
- 1 Double colorless energy
+ 1 basic psychic energy
+ 1 pikachu.

The extra pikachu to redocue the change require pokemon are in the pricecards.
The extra basic energy because you can only search basic energgy with trainer's mail currently.

I think you replied in the wrong thread ahhaha :L
 
This is rather tricky, replacing the lasers and virbank...

One idea could be Gengar EX, so you can switch to Trevenant after attacking and deal poison damage. Malamar EX can work, too, if sleep is important You can even put in Faded Town (Color-Drained City) if Megas get popular.

Those are pretty conventional ideas, but here's another one: You can just avoid using status problems in your strategy, and use the type-changing eeveelutions with Trevenant. It is, a stage 1, after all.
