Strategy
What does everyone think? In theory, I would attack with Darkrai and the NV Hydreigon and then use Dusknoir to move damage around. What are everyones suggestions?
 
I hope I'm not missing something obvious here, but what's the reason behind the psychic, grass and blend energy? Also, Hydreigon NV has a four energy requirement so I would suggest some form of energy acceleration at the very least.

On another note, I'm not so certain about Cradily's suitability so I'll leave the comments to others who are more familiar with the Darkrai/Hydreigon concept.
 
Grass/Blend is for Cradily...

Drop Psychic Energy for 2 more DCE and 1 Grass.

Your trainers seem so messed up I'm not gonna change anything, but I will say you don't even have one Super Rod.

I'm usually not the greatest at picking out trainers...which would you suggest?
 
-2 Cilan (It's a bad card, end of story)
-2 Colress (There are better draw support cards)

+2 N (4 is staple in every deck)
+2 Juniper (Same reason as N and it is superior to Colress)
 
Lists of possibe stage 2 combos:
Chandelure (either one go with anything really)
Gardevoir and Gallade
Venasaur (goes with anything)
Empoleon (just for the ability)
Beautifly (nice enegy acceleration)
Amphros and Frozen City
Serperior BLW/DRX (goes with anything)
Reuniclus BLW/DRX (^)
Vileplume (^)
Stoutland BCR and Salemence DV
Infernape
Magnezone (goes with anything)
Crobat and Virbank City Gym
Togekiss
Vanilluxe PLF and Blastoise
Porygon-Z (with Tornadus EX PLF)

Most of these are a no-go but the beauty of this deck is that there are so many variants of this deck that we will see even though the deck takes at minimun T3 to attack is pretty slow in this format.
