Pokemon Analysis

Samurott is the strongest pokemon in the deck.  It can hit for 90 as well as snipe the bench for 30, picking off babies or just spreading damage.  Zoroark is a great counter to just about anything and buffalant can deal a huge blow right after one your pokemon was knocked out.  The issues in this deck lie with wigglytuff, swanna and alomomola.  None of them are able to hit for a great amount of damage or do anything 'special' to help the deck.  Alomomola has some potential it is loaded up with all water energy.  It also had very high HP for a basic.  Since it has some potential, I would recommend keeping it, but dropping the wigglytuff and swanna.  SInce you have 3 samurott, you should add another oshawott to make it a 3-2-3 line (and utilize rare candy to get a third one going).  Your deck also needs a starter.  Since this is a water deck, manaphy would be perfect, but there are plenty of others like cleffa, smeargle, stantler, etc... (depending on what you have).

 

Trainer/Supporter Analysis

I would exchange the black belt for a twins.  Black belt can help you get the knockout, but twins can help you get set up for the rest of the game.  I would swap out your copycat for more PONT and add 1 juniper to increase your hand refreshers.  You run so many energy that even if you reduced the number, you would have no problem drawing into them, so I dont think the interviewers are necessary.  You could probably reduce your elm to 2 and your switch to 1.  I would include 1 rare candy, possibly 2, for the samurott and add 3 arm to be able to reuse those trainers.  A flower shop girl is essential for recovering energy and pokemon from the discard pile.  The potion aren't necessary either, so I would drop them and throw in a couple of pokemon reversal (pokemon catcher when it's released) and possibly a pluspower or two, just in case you need to deal a little extra damage.  Overall though, you have an excellent trainer/supporter line!

 

Energy Analysis

20 energy is way too much.  I would increase the DCE to 4 since you can use it on zoroark, buffalant, samurott and alomomola (although water would be preferred on alomomola since it increases its attack power).  I would drop the water energy down to 10, for a total count of 14.

 

Overall

This is an interesting water deck and while typically it would be weak to water, your zoroark and buffalant should be able to help you survive against lightning decks.  Your deck only has 58 cards in the deck, but that's okay since I made a lot of suggestions  on cards to add.  I dont think you'll have a problem filling those last two spots.
