Hello fellow Pokémon TCG enthusiasts!

I’m currently in the process of building a deck centered around my favorite Pokémon, Venusaur Ex and Beedrill V. My aim is not just for competitive play but also for a fun and visually appealing experience, especially with the alternate art cards. Here’s what I have so far:

Pokémon:

• x3 Bulbasaur 151


• x2 Ivysaur 151


• x3 Venusaur Ex 151


• x4 Beedrill V 161/189


• x2 Lilligant V 163/189


• x2 Lilligant VStar 018/189


• x1 Radiant Venusaur 004/078

Items/Supporters:

• x4 Gardenia’s Vigor


• x4 Earthen Vessel


• x4 Rare Candy


• x2 Superior Energy Retrieval


• x2 Super Rod


• x4 Professor’s Research

This is a partial list, and I’m looking for suggestions on what to add or remove. While I understand this deck might not dominate local tournaments, I’d love for it to be enjoyable to play. I particularly cherish the alternate art cards for their aesthetic value.

What do you think about the balance of the deck? Are there any specific cards that synergize well with Venusaur Ex and Beedrill V that I should consider? Any input on strategy, card balance, or just general tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!
