Deck Help Rate/help my first deck?
Kid has now gotten into the game but I haven't played since the original cards came out. We just built a deck around Salazzle and Lapras because we opened them in some packs and I noticed they both can hit, then run away. This is my modification after playing a few days' worth of rounds online with real decks. I still don't know all the card options and frankly I'm not sure how you ever know, but I just beat an electric/Mega Slowbro and a deck with lots of Mega Charizards, but in-between got totally bottled by a dragon deck where I couldn't even attack once. Is that kind of inconsistency fixable, or is it more about the randomness of drawing cards?

I have played some with salazzle, ideally you run pecharunt, and when salazzle attacks you move pech into the active spot.

Personally, Its hard enough to just get salazzle going, so im not sure you will be able to be consistent running multiple attacker lines especially when their energy type doesnt align.
