Hey Pokebeach, this is my current hydreigon list adjusted for countering the meta in the area i play in. Currently I have been having some consistency issues and having trouble keeping up because of said issues, which were the reason I was one win away from top-cutting at a regionals this weekend instead of being in cut. That being said I would like some help with consistency with at least keeping lasers an latias for the plasma and genesect matchups.

I found your problem.

Find room for a Random Receiver so that you can Junk Hunt for it, and 2 more N. A 4th Juniper wouldn't hurt either.
 
I don't think Darkrai Hydreigon needs lasers. It's more of a tanking hits rather than using Darkrai to hit ridiculous amounts of damage type of deck. 2 lasers and 2 Virbank is exactly enough space for my earlier suggestion. Alternatively, you could lose the hammers without suffering.
 
-1 Keldeo Ex
+1 Zweilous

There is no point in having Keldeo in your deck. A 3-1-3 chain or a 4-1-4 chain is better because of item locking. In my deck, Reshirayboar (which is posted here), has Zebstirka with disconnect. This way you can still get a hydreigon out until you knock out the item locker.
 
Thanks Mora and actually I do need keldeo ex because there is heavy accelgor in my area and I actually have ease getting hydreigon out without a zweilous so I don't think I need one. Thanks for the input though.
