Hey Pokebeach! I'm new to these forums! Anyway, I play at a local league every fortnight, and I usually run something rogue, and I wanted to try Cresselia Ex just because of the ability Sparkling Particles. Here is the decklist I made and I hope people have suggestions for improving it!

Pokemon

3 Cresselia Ex
3-1-3 Gardevoir
2 Mewtwo Ex
2 Sigilyph (DRX 52)

Items/Supporters/Stadiums

4 N
4 Juniper
2 Skyla

4 Ultra Ball
4 Rare Candy
4 Pokemon Catcher
3 Eviolite
3 Potion
2 Random Reciever
2 Energy Switch
1 Gold Potion

2 Skyarrow Bridge

Energy

11 {P} Energy

Any ideas will be taken into account!
 
Considering how this format is essentially based around EX's, keep the 2 sigilyph. Drop gold potion for computer search, it's better to find that crucial rare candy or double colorless than to heal 90 even though it's good. I don't think you need potions, but that's more of a personal preference. I would drop them for 1 more energy search and 2 Bianca/cheren.

In most decks 1 sigilyph is enough and this is a deck where at the most 1 is enough. I agree about the computer search BUT it is hard to get your hands on one if you don't already have 1.
 
I run a deck similar to this, but my pokemon line is
4-0-4 Gardy (works wonders w/ 4 Candy, 3 Skyla, and 3-4 Ultra Ball)
3 Mewtwo
1 Cress
1 Sigilyph

The only thing I would be worried about is getting smacked around by Darkrai and then realizing that my Sigilyph is prized. The only reason I would keep 2 is because as long as one isn't prized you essentially have a permanent wall (except for catchering around and sniping) and you'll almost always have access to it in a game. Plus it will ALWAYS be useful, considering if you just look on the main page for the Deck Garage, almost everyone has something like Darkrai EX/Something, Landorus EX/Something, Blastoise/Keldeo EX, Mewtwo EX/Something. Sigilyph is just too valuable to not be running it at 2 in this format, IMO.
 
That's what I'm saying dude.....

If you have one sigilyph, and it's prized, you will lose to Darkrai with this deck. Period.

If you have 2, you can search one, play it, and Darkrai can't touch you.

What if both are prized
 
The chances of the both being prized are very small. Why even ask that if you considered running one in the first place? The chances of 1 being prized is much higher than both of them being prized.
 
The chances are LESS likely that both will be prized. in fact its 1/590 chances (sorry i like math), that you'll get both in there as to the 1/10 chance to get your 1 prized. The point is that it's more safe to use 2 sigiglyph instead of one.

Edit: I think my math is wrong. Whatever.
 
Just played this at a Cities and Hammertime destroyed me. In my area, a lot decks are using both enhanced and crushing. No chance. Even with energy acceleration.
 
Thank you everybody for your advice! I played at my local tournament today and got into Top 4! I did remove all the potions, however, and placed an Energy Switch and 2 Cheren in. I also changed Gold Potion to Computer Search. We had 6 predetermined Swiss rounds, which I went 4-2. I lost to a Blastoise/Keldeo deck (Attacked with Blastoise to get around the Sigilyph I sent up) and Garbador/Terrakion/Mewtwo (Decked out seaching for something prized). I won against a RayEels, 2 Ho-oh and Fighting.dec. In my top 8 matchup, I beat the same Blastoise/Keldeo, but lost my Top 4 to a Quad Sigilyph, which later won!


P.S---There is only about 17 people that go
 
This deck is not really bad at all. It needs a way to maintain energy on the field. Exp Share should be the way to go but tool scrapper ruins that part. All potions should be removed and Cheren over Bianca in this deck always. Computer Search is a lot better than Gold Potion specially in this stage 2 deck. Maybe Pokemon Communication may work better but that should be done through your testing and preference. The changes for the tournament were the ones that you should have made. Also DCE is not bad for the deck. It helps you when you can't get Gardevoir rolling and against the Garbodor match up. It also helps to donk with Mewtwo.
