hey guys, here is my dark type deck that ive been working on:

pokemon x19
3-2-2 shiftry
3-3 zoroark (b/w)
3-3 weavile (2-ud/1-nd) sneasel (ud)

supporters/trainers x26
prof. oak x3
judge x2
team rockets trickery x2
Pokémon collector x3
seeker x2
flower shop lady x1
junk arm x3
Pokémon catcher x3
Pokémon comms x3
rare candy x2
super scoop up x2

energy x15
sp dark x4
dark x7
rescue x2
dce x2

okay, i was hoping to make some kind of disruption deck with this. shiftry to mess with their bench and its atk to cause switches.im aware that his effect is unreliable as a flip btw. i also like nuzleafs surprise punch atk for energy disruption. zoroark is there for obvious foul play support, not too hard to setup with a dce. then of course there is weavile for its hand disruption. i also threw in a nd weavile for more of a tech against pokes with tool cards.i went ahead and used the ud sneasel too. i still love its old school beat up atk. this is where i need help, the deck obviously doesnt have too much muscle in it, so i think i need to focus more on disruption to survive. should i focus more on the shiftry line and lessen the weavile? cause imo once i evolve my sneasel and use its effect it cant really do much. im also thinking about dropping team rockets trickery for more judges. trt is nice for some slight draw and hand disruption, but judge just seems overall better imo. seeker and super scoop up is there for more disruption and for me to re-use some of my pokes effects. basically i just need a more consistent strategy.
 
If you are after disruption I would suggest making Ambipom your main attacker. His attack damage is low but his attack offers high disruption, and when combined with either shiftry or seeker can cause them to shuffle their pokemon into their deck. This would mean getting rid of zoroark in my opinion. You would also need more DCE for Ambipom.

- 3-3 Zoroark
- 2 normal dark energy

+ 3-3 Ambipom (Unleashed Aipom and Triumphant ambipom)
+ 2 DCE
 
idk if id wanna completely take out zoroark though. i would like to kill something off if i need too lol....
 
You should definitely include a better attacker IMO. Zoroark isn't going to last. Though I did come up with a pretty fun deck with shiftry that includes drifblim and smeargle if the opponent has a seeker in his hand so you reuse smeargle's power by using the opponent's seeker over and over again and using shiftry's power to draw the pokemon back into their hand and using drifblim to make the opponent shuffle his last pokemon into his deck until he has no more pokemon left on his bench but thats very different from this deck I suppose. I think that a better attacker is needed IMO.
 
You spelled rogue wrong too? welcome to my world. Anyways, you need a better attacker and a point to the deck. Fore example, how will the deck win against Durant. The last time I checked, Foul Play doesn't do anything to Durant. Don't worry though, this deck will be much better when dark rush comes out, with Dark patch and Darkrai EX. I think you should add a third candy and a starter pokemon like cleffa . Definitally put in Slowking to disrupt their draws. Add switches.
 
- 3/3 zoroark line in favor of 3-3 Sharpedo Tr

then drop 3-3 weavile for 2 flip-tini and the 2-2 ambipom line that techmek mentioned
 
That would almost completely change the style of this deck though except for shifty though, but I agree that it makes a nice combo. Maybe not 2-2 ambipom though since you want to discard the cards to make the opponent run out of cards basically I guess, but it could be added I guess. You also might want a counter to fighting types just in case, but it isn't too needed. A cleffa also might be nice to start with while setting up your pokemon. Might also want some more drawing power.
