Hello! If you want a good Fire or Water deck, I can help :)
First it depends on the kind of deck you want to build. There is just a normal build, where you have a few attackers that deal good damage and have respectable HP. There's a spread deck, which focuses on spreading damage around the board, and manipulating that to take KO's on Benched Pokemon and even take multi-prize turns. You have the sorts of attackers that deal some damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon and a good bit of damage to one of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. An example of this is Heatmor, which can deal 90 damage for 3 energy, but if you have 3 extra energy on the Heatmor, it also does 180 damage to a Benched Pokemon. Spread is really fun because you can take 2, even 3 prizes in a turn without much difficulty, and you have quite a bit of variety in your attackers. Lastly, there is control. Control decks are the decks that attempt to make the game as difficult as possible for your opponent. Control decks are the toxic decks that try and make your opponent basically unable to play. An example of a control card is Trevenant. Trevenant is a stage 1. and it has an ability that reads, "If this Pokemon is in the Active Spot, your opponent can't play any Item cards from their hand during their turn." See where I'm going? Control tries to lock your opponent out of the game, making it difficult to setup/start attacking. I like control a lot, but it's probably the most difficult to play; as you can probably imagine, it has a ton of different strategies and an interesting card pool. Hope I helped with giving you the basics of the three main types of decks, so now you just have the descision of Fire or Water. See ya! :)
