(This is a copy paste from another one of my posts figured it would get more eyeballs here)

First off if this isn’t the right place to post or there’s a better community to throw this in please let me know.

Now off to the post. Me and my GF got into the whole ttrpg and card game and actually have money to do so

Anyways this whole silly adhd interest between us made me dig up my pokemon cards (binder form when I was in elementary school and decks I built like a couple years ago)

My distribution of my decks is 30/15/15

Now whether this is Pokemon/energy/items I honestly don’t remember. But is it a good distribution or would I want to to less uniform numbers like 28/12/20

If I do where should I start deck building cus honestly I bet I have decent cards but absolutely terrible synergy between cards and stuff

Obviously it depends on the deck, but in general you want a large number of item cards and less pokemon and energy.

Item/trainer cards provide a lot of ways to draw/recycle and support your pokemon/energy and you'll likely want to see a bigger ratio of them in your opening hand. Especially since you're not going to go through too many more pokemon than you have prize cards and you can only have 1 active pokemon at a time with 6 total in play.

So the exact ratio depends on the deck and the pokemon you are trying to support, but essentially you shouldn't be running more the 15 pokemon and 15 energy on a high end. 12 pokemon is pretty standard. Most of the rest of your deck should be search and draw cards which there should be plenty of.
