Picture of Deck on PTCGO = [attachment=7769]

Strategy:

Hydreigon for moving energy's around. Darkrai for free retreat, Keldeo for status counter. Malamar-ex for sleep: Attach to malamar to activate effect then move over with "Dark Trance" to Yveltal-Ex as main attacker. Baby Yveltal for energy retrieval.
Was wondering if it might be worth dropping something for a mewtwo-ex, as i will be using this in a cities tournament soon and foresee a fair few psychic weak about ie. Lucario-ex

Pretty Standard really .
Any suggestions or criticisms on where i could streamline this deck or improve it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Is Xerosic any good?
Im thinking of not using Xerosic in this style of deck.

Xerosic's basically an Enchanced Hammer or a one-target Startling; it can be good in the right circumstance.

As for the deck itself, I'd suggest at least a few more Lysandres, and a few Double Colorless Energy. DC fuels Malamar EX and fills Yveltal EX's Y Cyclone. Maybe not 4, but 2 at least. That's my opinion anyway.

Malamar is meant for his ability mainly, wouldn't see DCE being too useful.

It still fills Yveltal's attack well, and in a pinch, can provide more flips for Malamar. I'd rather know all of my Pokemon can attack within 1 - 2 turns of being put down then say... having the effectiveness of Jirachi.

 

[Necroghost88]

i dont use DCE as Hydreigons ability is not able to move this type of energy,
and the Xerosic also doubles as a head ringer or jamming net remover in a pinch, especially being re-usable to a degree with VS Seeker. Ideally i do not want to be attacking with Malamar, as in my experience his attack is far too unpredictable to be effective without 5/6 energies attached

 

[Hawlucha!]

Could i post my decklist for this on here?

 

[Kecleon-X]

If you post it to give critiques instead of receive them, then yes -- but other than that, no. You must post your own thread for such a thing.

I like the deck, the strat seems like it could work well but if your opponent sets up faster it seems like he could trash you pretty easily, as you don't have much/any revival tools to get Pokémon back after they're killed. Which can cost you a game pretty fast when you are dealing with EX's being put up front

 

[Ironman131]

Why do you run rainbow eenergy in the deck. You have no pokemon that require rainbow energy aside from maybe keledo EX but you will mainly be using that for the rush in retreat. I would drop those and add 2 double colress and a 3rd max poition.

It's probably there to hit for 170 with Hydreigon's Dragon Blast and Silver Bangle. Since you play those, I might also play Virizion EX instead of Keldeo for better status protection.

 

[Necroghost88]

rainbows are there as suggested above, in the event i do need to attack with hydreigon, also i played Keldeo instead of Virizion due to there being a large qauntity of charizard, donphan and landorus being played at my local tournaments, Keldeo-ex with 2 dark, 1 rainbow and a band could one shot anything water weak in a pinch if needed

 

[davirobe66]

I would recommend a "clearing" (a stadium or card to get a stadium out of play) because Darkrai Malamar and Keldeo can be shutdown by a single silent lab stadium. Just my opinion.

The 2 Shadow Circle stadiums i have found is enough to counter other stadiums and protect me from weakness

Just run straight dark energy and DCE I personally like running 1 PHG hydreigon tech. Hydreigon is a very poor attacker in this format if anything maby run 1 rainbow if you feel you need to attack with it at some point.
