Proxies:
The best website out there for printing proxies, making deck lists, and looking for the perfect card for your deck, is by far Bebesearch. On Bebesearch, you can print out paper cards for your deck which you can use until you get the real copies. They also have a great card database, where you can submit the filters you want and find just the card your deck needs. The last function, but certainly not the least, is it's decklist program, where you can create, edit, print, and publicly post your list, and the decklists you create are compatible with PlayTCG, which is listed below. Here is it's URL, and I hope you check it out: http://www.bebessearch.com/

Testing
In order for you to know if your deck is good or just a bunch of trash, you have to play with it to see what it could improve on, and to see how it is played best against other decks.but a big challenge is that getting the cards costs a lot of money, which you don't want to spend if the decks no good, and it's hard to find an opponent, and even when you can they might not have the deck you need to test against. Well, PlayTCG has the answer. PlayTCG allows you to take the decklists you have made through Bebesearch, seen above, and play against other players from throughout the world. But you do have to put out damage counters, draw cards, ect. manually, unlike the Pokemon TCG online. While PTO is easy to use in that it does all the shuffling, drawing, and damage dealing for you, getting the cards you need is incredibly hard since the only way to get cards is by getting virtual packs from the code cards in real packs and entering it in on the program, which costs tons of money, and almost never gets you the cards that you need. But play TCG, however, does let you use cards on the program you don't have it real life- you just tell it what you want in your deck and it gives it to you. Here's it's URL: http://www.playtcg.me/
Buying
While testing and all of that is important, it's useless for a player who doesn't have the cards to actually play in tournaments. I believe (while there are many others) that TrollandToad is the best Pokemon card seller out there. It's prices, while probably being slightly more than they should be (which is the same with every card seller out there to earn a profit), they seem to have the best prices out of all of the retailers for Pokemon. I use this every time I order Pokemon cards, and they have never given me a fake or not sent the cards, so it's very trustworthy. As for there selection, they sell all Pokemon cards, along with code cards and some merchandise, along with tins, boxes, and packs of cards, they rarely have older cards in stock unless they buy them from someone who is willing to sell. Their new, popular cards also run out of stock every once in a while because players need them faster than they can pull them, but they usually get them back in stock within a day or two. As you proudly saw me mention above, they do sell cards, and they'll pay you about 1/2-2/3 of what they'll sell it for, but I think this is pretty generous since Pokemon card values are constantly going up and down (down more than up), and they have to make some profit, right? Here's their URL: http://www.trollandtoad.com/Pokemon/7061.p1n10.html.
Scans and news
At Pokebeach, there are two great features that always draws me to the website. The first is it's Pokemon card scans. It has all of the English set scans of cards, and they are extremely high quality too. You can easy find every card and what set it is in. I get a lot of the card scans from my blog from there. The other upside to this website is its news. They have lots of resources, and they are always making new posts about all sorts of Pokemon news- both official, and leaks! :) This is where I get some info from as well, and I hope you check it out!
