Comments on: How to Build a Basic Pokémon Card Deck

on 10/25/2009 Yesterday i got a lucario diamond/pearl EX tin with a raichu powerkeeper ex pack, a tyranitar ex dragon frontier pack, and a magmortar mysterious treasures d/p pack. the rest of a gardevoir evolution, and the first half of a ninetails evolution, WITH A BASIC DELTA SPECIES ELECTABUZZ TOO! Awesome isnt it? I just made a psycic/normal deck with the evolution for my exlusive lucario (i have a few fighting cards) also, my electabuzz is a fight, my cloyster is a fight, my chinchow as an electric and a pupitar as electric! Are those fake or are ex cards like that?

on 7/26/2008 http://www.pokeswap.com Here you can trade your Pokemon Cards with others and they have a way to make sure that you will receive your cards, guaranteed. You can trade your doubles and create a wish list of all the cards you really want

on 8/8/2006 One of the best Pokmon cards to use, in the ex delta species, is Dragonair and Dratini, found in the breakthrough deck, as they have two resistances: fighting and grass.

on 7/3/2006 You should use some energy removal trainers. These cards can be very annoying to your opponent, especially when you see them struggling to get some energy cards. Also Super energy removals work well with the energy removal, this is what I call the "shut down" type deck. It makes it hard for your opponent to get their evolution cards powerful, which is good for you.

on 6/30/2006 Make sure to have a theme around you card deck. If you deck doesn't flow(you don't get cards you need when you need them) that means you need to focus your deck around a type, or two types that go well together. Don't put a bunch of types into one deck, because if you do you won't get the energies you need when you need them.

on 11/22/2005 Try not to have more than 2 kinds of Pokemon EX, as it will help your opponent if you add too many. For those who don't know, if Pokemon EX is knocked out, you get to take 2 Prizes.

on 11/22/2005 Choose types for your deck that might surprise an opponent. Or types with different side effects from attacks Ex: Electric and Grass/Poison. Electric can paralyse them and grass/poison can poison them. Those types would make a good comb. for 'shut downs'.

on 11/22/2005 When making a deck, try to find a Fossil set Ditto. They can mimic the opponent's Pokmon, but can use any energy! Colorless Pokmon (they have gray energy symbols) can use any energy, so throw them in! Any Porygon will do well but Sabrina's is the best!

on 11/22/2005 Here's a good idea no matter what kind of deck you have. You should have four Jigglypuff and four Wigglytuff. You would want your bench full also so Wigglytuff's "Do the wave" attack does 60 damage.

on 11/22/2005 Having a lot of non-evolutions and three Wigglytuffs works pretty well along with 30 trainers. The game goes by pretty fast.

on 11/22/2005 When building a deck, select a theme. In other words, choose cards that work well together or fit your theme. For example, if you had a sleep deck, you'd use Pokmon like Jigglypuff.

on 11/22/2005 When you are choosing trainer cards to add to your deck, make sure you have some cards that allow you to find energy. You should also have some "switch" cards to use when a Pokemon is asleep or confused and can't retreat.

on 11/22/2005 When you evolve one of your Pokmon, it will become stronger, but not all Pokmon evolve. Charmander is a good example of this!
