The main problems with dragons is their incredible base stats and access to ridiculously powerful moves such as Draco Meteor and Outrage which almost destroys everything that isn't a steel-type. There aren't really any crazy strong ghost type moves at the moment. The strongest being Shadow Ball...

Running 1 Deoxys EX with Lugia EX is pretty good idea. Both for the ability to knock out 180 hp EX pokemon but also to OHKO plasma Kyurem. Deoxys also allows you to threaten an OHKO on plasma Kyurem after you previously hit it with the Megalo Cannon bench damage. Otherwise Kyurem often proves to...

You should maybe consider the offensive CurseLax set then, 3 attacks and no rest. I really think that's better than the classic CurseLax set in this format, especially considering the popularity of fighting types in UU to threaten it out once it rests. For a more pressing issue you should...

RE: Darkrai/Hydregion for competitive play? Darkrai/Garbodor seems to be the strongest variant of Darkrai right now. It's more annoying than ever!

RE: VirGen (Virizion/Genesect) There is actually some relevant math the snipe damage creates against this deck. In Darkrai/Garbodor you can knock out a Genesect/Virizion previously hit by Night Spear with a Dark Claw + Virbank + Laser. Or if it's hit by 2 Night Spears just a Dark Claw or...

A pretty good counter to Victini EX is Bouffalant. I would prefer that over Abomasnow.

After you use rest the opponent can immediately switch to something like Heracross/Mienshao which can threaten to OHKO Snorlax and force you to switch out. Previously this wasn't as big of a deal since you would burn 1 sleep turn on the switch. Now instead it creates an endless cycle of being...

RE: Pokemon that look better than their evolved forms A big majority of cute pokémons! Isn't it horrible to have your cute little oddish evolve into a gloom? :(

Indeed! 100 points to you for recognizing it!

Thanks! You're welcome!

RE: VirGen (Virizion/Genesect) G Booster a bunch isn't a very ideal solution however. Discarding 2 energy is a big deal in this deck since you will often times need another turn to emerald slash which you might not have time for especially if Virizion EX has been knocked out earlier. Which is...

You might already know this, but I'm just gonna point it out anyway in case you don't. CurseLax and Rest in general was a much better in previous generations since you was able to burn of sleep turns. However with the new sleep mechanic from gen 5 (sleep turns resets after switching) rest...

RE: VirGen (Virizion/Genesect) I think this deck is built very well, running switch over Skyarrow is an interesting idea. I would really like to see a non-EX attacker so you can deal with safeguarders outside of G Booster. However, I think that is one of the biggest weaknesses of this deck...

OMG!! Big leak today! The new type chart is crazy! I can't wait to see what Pokemon X/Y will do to competitive battling!
