Dark Blast(Houndoom Masters any tournament)

[golferboy69]

I threw this deck together for myself:

4 Sableye(2 Impersonate/2 UD)
1-1 Honchkrow (UD Shadow Bind)
3-3 Houndoom ( Houndour Jump on/ Houndoom Fire Counterattack)
2-2 Weavile (UD Feint Attack)
2 Uxie
18 Pokemon

4 Team Rocket's Trickery
4 Judge
3 Bebe's Search
3 PONT
2 Buck's Training
1 Volkner's
4 SSU
3 VS Seeker
2 Warp Point
2 Great Ball
2 Expert Belt
2 BTS
32 T/S/S

6 Dark Energy
4 Special Dark
10 Energies

The purpose is to attack with Houndoom mainly, try to use Pull Out with Sableye, and Weavile's power.

Let me know what you think. Can you please let me know what to take out and how many and what to put in the place of those cards thank you.

That line up of Sableye is definitely a wise choice but best to change to all 4 of the impersonate type. Been beaten by it many times. If you get it and a belt at the beginning of the game, you can already start knocking the opponent out with it. As for the houndoom, I used to run it too in my deck but I found that their HP was too low. It would be a good idea to try search for a Houndoom alternative in the future. The Honchcrow is somewhat weak in my opinion but stick with it until you find an alternative. Maybe an Umbreon line? I would max out on Expert Belt by taking out 2 Trickery. Then replace the remaining 2 Trickery with Energy Exchanger to get them special darkness in hand.

Not too sure if 2 BTS (always rem. it could help your opponent more than you) are necessary for a deck with no Stage 2 but I would consider replacing the BTS with Energy Exchangers too. If following that, I would try taking out 1 VS and the Volkner to fit in Interviewer's Questions or Oak's New Theory wherever possible. A dual ball and luxury ball instead of great ball? I find a combo of 1 Poke-Comm. and 1 Luxury to work nicely.
