How would you go about building a GOOD Dark Pokemon deck?

How would you build a good pokemon deck that it built around dark pokemon?
Like which pokemon to use, trainer cards, how many energy ect.ect.ect.
I want to get back into pokemon by creating a new, dark element deck, but I have no way of apporching it. Help?

Which Pokemon Deck should I get?

For the holidays, my almost 7 year old wants Pokemon cards. But there are so many cards and decks, it is hard to know where to start? I have an idea of how to play and build a deck from the website, but even their latest set (Diamonds and Pearls) seems to have a 3 versions (basic, Mysterious Treasures, Secrets and Wonders.) I can’t figure out if you can start with Mysterious Treasures or if you need to start with the basic Diamond and Pearls set and add on. Or maybe an older set would be better to start?

And then there are these additional cards (like Ex cards) that are available too. I see they are supposed to be more powerful, but your oppenent gets 2 prize cards for knocking one out. Can they coexist in a deck with regular cards, or do you need to have a deck completely with Ex cards?

Thanks

Im trying to make a pokemon deck around wailord and wailord ex?

hey, im trying to build a deck concetrating around wailords huge hp, attacks, and its healing abbilities. i want to try to keep it to 1 or 2 colorsknowing that they are going to need alot of energy to pull off those big attacks. i want to take advantage of wailord ex’s SUPER DEEP DIVE so im going to need some good stallers with low retreats so i can dish him back out whenever he gets too low. basicly how im going to use him is try to keep his hp down to 150 so hes still safe from most attackers while dishing out 150 damage. thats the main reason i need help with this deck. i just re-started last week. im a huge TCGr. im going to need energy searchers as well.
………..thank you for the help. i just need a place to start

What Pokemon-type(s) is compatible with Electric-types (I’m building a deck)? Also, how many cards in a deck?

I’m creating a deck with a few Rayquaza EXs, some Picachus, and some Jolteon EXs. I also have Latios. I have some more awesome cards I would like to add, but I don’t know if they are compatible.

4 Absol EXs
2 Espeon EXs
2 Vaporeon EXs
Latias
Ho-Oh

Also, would it be a good idea to add a Lugia (My FAVOURITE Pokemon ever!!!) to this deck if I ever get it.

I want a Pokemon-TYPE!!! NOT a specific Pokemon.

Looking for a collectible trading card game?

Hello,

I am looking for a certain type of collectible trading card game. Now before I explain I want to make it clear that if nothing out there fits my description then it is perfectly ok to just say that.. because a negative result is still a result, and it’s better than just getting a bunch of people saying “play pokemon!”

Ok.. So I used to play Magic the Gathering a lot and I loved it! However, the game seems like it is taking a bad turn and they are just trying to make money and the whole game is starting to feel “diluted” and generic now.
What I LIKED about it back in the day is that for one there were NO preconstructed decks, instead you could only purchase boxes of random cards and you had to build and trade to make your own deck.
Also, they used to really experiment with the rules, the older cards were very interesting, the newer cards however just seem to be more powerful, but less interesting.
Nowadays, it seems like all of the strategy in MTG comes from how you build your deck and less from how you play the game.

So… to summarize:
====Main requests====
1) A complex game. The more complex the better! With cards that have lots of interesting twists on the rules.
2) The strategy should mainly come during gameplay. Not so much during the process of building the deck.

====Optional requests====
3) The company should seem more interested in actually making a great game and less on churning out and overprinting cards just to make money at the expense of the entertainment (if this is possible…)
4) No preconstructed decks. I’d prefer that you are only able to buy mixed cards, no preconstructed decks… to me “preconstructed decks” = “preconstructed strategy”, which sucks.. as I said in #2 I like the strategy to come from the game play not from the deck building.
5) Good art. I looooooooooved the art in Magic the Gathering.. it makes it hard to look at other card games because they just don’t look as good.. pokemon is a good example of this, the art looks like cr*p compared to MTG.

Also.. keep in mind that I am still talking about a COLLECTIBLE card game. I know those requests seem a little strict.. but In my opinion they would create the perfect collectible strategy card game… anything else just doesn’t cut it to me… MTG used to be all of that and more.. now it seems like a bit of a disappointment.

Thanks!!
(Will give “best answer”)
