IF Lostgar wins states in my area, I'll be playing a variant of this for the second weekend. Strategy is to set up a Mewtwo, by getting two of them out, then leveling up one seeing as how they'll snipe the other(For Sp's). Absol is for Gengar, same as Weavile. Everything else is self explanatory.

Any questions feel free to ask.
 
Have you tested this deck out against LostGar yet? It's usually better to test these sort of things out before you decide to stick with the deck you're playing cause who knows, maybe the strategy you're trying to accomplish might not go as well as you think.

I'm not doubting you, your deck idea could work well against LostGar.
 
I'm always impressed by your rogue decks. They just are the sexiest lists here. This is gonna see play only if lostgar goes everywhere, right? Knowing what I expect out of the deck, a maxed out Absol line isn't necessary to hit for a prize draw every turn, but in case of avoiding lost zoning away your plans, I understand. Also, you aren't one-shotting Gengar without a special dark, so an Unown Dark would search one out for you. Lucario doesn't look very useful with your types, so I'd drop it. Weavile isn't one-shotting Gengar either, but it's not half bad to have as a start, so it's your choice. Where I am, I see speed lostgar decks, but I've read about garbage slow builds that never win on time, so if you're preparing for possible slow setups, I would say a playing collector for sableye, unown dark, and absol to KO working tombs is better than weavile, absol, and whatever to prepare for the onslaught. You put yourself up a prize, but you have to work up the absol. I would play a single sableye for prize drawing real early game. lulz at the pitch darking gastly when you have a collector in hand, which you play four of~ Props for indulging me with another unique and beautiful list.

^Thanks. That means tons. :p But weavile does ohko a gengar prime, it does 10 base, then ten for each sp. The Lucario was in an older list, and forgot to take it out. We all make mistakes right? I had a deck like this built a while ago, when my area was cursegar and gyarados with little luxchomp. Here was the first ever list.
3-1 Absol G
2-2 LuxRay GL
2-1 Uxie X
4 Sableye
1 Toxi G Promo
1 Crobat
1 Azelf
1 unown g
1 Lucario GL

I probably will attempt to do a revamp of this. I agree with you on the unown dark part also.
@ Card slinger

I've tested Absol variants, but not Absol/Chomp yet. I was leaning towards Absol Luxray, becuase I'm sure people will continue to play gyarados.
Also this is ONLY if the LostGar wins my areas states.
 
lol Where is that list's SP matchup at? I don't recommend playing SP now without Garchomp or a few counters because they'll have safe pickings with their snipes. I don't think people will play Gyarados because of lost remover and more popularity with lost zone, so I wouldn't worry. Just wait for a report and play some Lost Remover of your own.

Updated. LucarioxFroslass, will you be going to Nats. I'd like to meet you personally(In the least creepiest way).
 
Idk, I just like to meet people irl that I meet on the internet. I just find it interesting.

On topic, I feel that Q's better. Just overall.
