This is only going to be a hard and fast guide to deckbuilding in the Pokemon TCG, but here we go!(Remember, you can only have 60 cards in your deck, no more no less and you can't have more than 4 of any card)
First, Pokemon! You need Pokemon to fight for you, so put plenty of basic Pokemon into your deck. I suggest 8-12 basics, 4-8 stage 1 evolutions and 1-4 stage 2 evolutions. However, these numbers may vary slightly depending on what kind of deck you are playing.
Next is energy cards, the cards that your Pokemon require to attack. Unwritten Rule: You must have at least 18 energy cards in your deck or this battle will be very difficult! I believe my deck runs a few more than 18 energies, like 20 or 22.
Finally, the Trainer Cards! These move your strategy along much faster than you could on your own. Most people run less than 20 Trainers and with good reason, they run your deck out of cards too quickly! So, unless you are going to take lots of healing cards, take 12-18 Trainer cards and just take a few more Pokemon!
Well, I hope this helps you balance out your deck! I may decide to do more detailed explanations later this week, but this is just to help you see what you need make a decently balanced deck. Thanks for reading!
