  • None!

Strategy:
Trying not to be the "No Energy Guy", but I can't help myself sometimes...

Someone told me an energy-less build of Crobat was possible, so I decided to go for it. I haven't done a ton of research on which psychic types get free attacks with Dimensional Valley, but I assumed Mew is the best out of all of them, since I could snatch quite a few attacks from other popular decks.

Thoughts?
 
Every deck plays Stadium cards, and relying on yours to provide your attack cost is a really risky idea. If you want to take that risk, then be my guest. But otherwise, I would recommend at least 4 Psychic Energy.
 
Try playing Gothitelle FUF to get your stadiums back in play. Also, try 3 or 4 VS Seeker to get back AZ to get back Crobats and N to slow down your opponent.

That may be true. I don't plan on pulling the trigger until I can actually attack decently. Otherwise, I plan being careful.

I was worried about overdoing it, but you have a point.

Don't run evosoda; you won't get the damage

Got it. Changing.

Btw, what are your plans against decks like Seismitoad and Garbodor?

Scoop, pretty much. lol
 
Could you update the deck list with your changes (like Evosoda)?
Also, I wouldn't find the Muscle Band/Silver Bangles useful as the boost damage on your opponents Active Pokemon ONLY.
Lysandre is basically useless as well, since you can snipe Mr Mime with damage counters when necessary.
For Mew, I don't think there is too many single colourless energy attacks out there worth using (really only Gengar and Manetric may be useful, if at all); it may be better to use walls instead.
I don't find Celebi too useful (10 each is not really much), and I honestly think Jirachi just clutters the bench.
Your Crobot have free retreat so switch is not really needed, IMO float stones would be much better.

My suggestions:
-2 Evosoda
-2 Silver Bangle
-2 Switch
-2 Lysandre
-2 Mew-EX
-1 Jirachi-EX
-1 Celebi-EX
+2 Skyla (You need the items)
+1 VS Seeker (Consistency)
+2 Sigilyph LT (Walling EXs)
+2 Float Stone
+3 Robo Subsitutes (More walling)/ +2 Robo Subsitutes and +1 Lysandre's Trump Card
+2 Roller Skates (Draw power)/+2 Sacred Ash (Get back Pokemon)/+2 AZ (Consistency)

How do you attack with Crobat?

Probably asking a really stupid question, but answer me anyways

Dimensional Valley gives Crobot a free attack cost.

Lol. It's all good. I know they're a ton of decks like this.

Sidenote, are there any walls comparable to Sigilyph for Non-EX's?

You can have Pyroar for basics, but that's about it.

There's also Latias EX and Aegislash EX to block ability attackers and attackers with special energy respectively but they both give up two prizes

Ah... Thanks for the tech! I may find a way to squeeze them in or hold on to a couple for metagaming.
 
Intersting deck although I would run some energy....just my opinion. Interesting nontheless.

Woobuffet would also act as a good barricade as it would not effect your ability's being they are psychic

Id also consider a sacred ash in case you run into some early trouble.
