Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!!

Hello Pokebeach members, 

Next Sunday are the BattleRoads in my region and from what i’m hearing there is going to be a lot darkrai ex, terrakion and Eels decks, no garbodor.I was stupid enough to play this one already, even though i miss 3 catchers and 1 darkrai ex.thats why i only play 1 catcher and only 2 darkrai, simply because i dont have more!:(I put 1 terrakion NV in there just to counter other darkrai’s. Super Rod for that missing darkrai and maybe more pokemon to get back. I could really use tips!! I often have a dead hand. I’m thinking to maybe add 1 RR and maybe 2 level balls. but what to take out, energy maybe? Please help on this one! 

Finished 4th last BR, updated list for this sunday:
so here it is;  

Pokemon: 15

3 Deino (2x NV 1x DEX)
1 zweilous NV
3 hydreigon DEX
2 Darkrai EX (DE)
3 Sableye (DE)
1 Shaymin EX (NDE)
1 Mewtwo EX (NDE)
1 terrakion (NV)retaliate

Trainers: 32

4 Juniper
4 N
2 Cheren
1 Biana
2 RR
4 Ultra Ball
1 level ball
3 Max Potion
3 Dark Patch
3 Rare Candy
2 Tool Scrapper
1 Super rod 

2 POKEMON CATCHER:(:(:

Energy: 13

3 prism energy
3 Blend Energy
7 Dark Energy

 I’m thinking about taking 1 blend and 1 basic dark out for 2 level ball/cheren. but i really dont know what to do. I think i need a brake for 1 day to think clear again lol.

RE: Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!! HELP!?

I think you have a very consistent, and having terrakion helps you a lot in mirror matches but I'd made these changes:

-1 sableye + 1 Darkrai EX (try getting a tin they are cheap)
-1 Blend +1 Prism (having 2 is not enough to power your terrakion)
-1DCE -1 Super rod + 2 Eviolite (these are the key to matchups)
-1 Ultraball (you dont want to discard that much but if you think you need them take a max pot. out) + 1 Cheren

I know you don´t have them but catchers are a big deal on this tiers if you get your hydreigon up (i got one in my darkrai EX tin), it's not that much of a deal about the switches cause you can trance retreat with no cost but in this deck the catchers are used to bring out the poke you wanna k.o (like knocking out your opponents hydreigon with one of your own so you break their energy acc. or a dmged attacker like a dmged darkrai) so be careful with that.

Hope it helped :)
 
RE: Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!! HELP!?

-1 Sableye +1 Darkrai- He's your main attacker, you want more of him. Better dark patch target when Hydreigon isn't on the board, etc.

-1 DCE- Unneeded really. Can't move it at all and only having it for Mewtwo- and one at that, isn't too good.

-1 Ultra Ball- Can be gotten with Sableye if you need it again, other resources are more important for speeding up your win con though because the decklist for this deck is generally very tight.

-1 Terrakion- Can't justify him being in here tbh. Prisms are a waste of an energy slot compared to being able to use other items that better speed up your win con.

-2 Prism- Goes hand in hand with what I said about Terrakion pretty much.

Now then because you have space and are lacking a bit on Catcher...

+2 Level Ball- It's really good. Grabbing Sableye or Deino doesn't seem like much, but Sableye does so much for this deck that it all really really adds up.

-1 Max Potion +1 Dark Patch- It's more important to be able to get that early Dark Patch onto Darkrai than it is Max Potion. You usually shouldn't need to use more than 3 Max P in a match anyways as a lot of it comes down to healing Darkrai and he won't need it IF you run this next card...

+2 Eviolite- Highly recommended. Makes your Darkrais tanks and therefore delay when you need to use Max Potion by a little bit.

1 slot left could go to anything else you desire. 4th Max P, 3rd L Ball, 4th UBall if you want any of those.
 
RE: Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!! HELP!?

I can't buy and add a 3rd darkrai that quick guys. So 2 is it for me, thats why I have a super rod in it, when 1 darkrai is KO and the other one is prizes i have a problem.
I agree with terrakion that its a weird choice, but i have space for it since i miss 3 catchers and its a very good counter against the many played darkrai over here. TERRAKION IS STAYING
Eviolite is bad IMO, the card is good, but with all those tool scrappers in decks lately, there just a waste of cards IMO, but i think it over.
Catchers are really needed i know!!, but i dont have them ( yet)

I'm taking out 1 M.Potion for 1 Darkpatch, that early darkrai is really good and i can't remember using 4 m.potions in a game anyways.

I will definetly make these changes so far:

- 1 Blend
- 1 DCE
- 1 Max Potion

+1 Prism Energy
+1 Dark Patch
+1 Level Ball

and thinking about taking 1 ultra ball to add 1 more Level Ball.

thanks guys so far

Hope I stand a chance sunday with only 1 catcher

any more drawing cards?
 
RE: Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!! HELP!?

Since it seems that you havent noted my post, i will post it again, but this time i will explain why:

-1 terrakion: Terrakion just doesnt belong here. ok, you have guys in your area that Terrakion is good against, but you can fill this spot with things that can make a difference, as i will point out..
-1 dce: Maybe to power mewtwo early going? You dont need that, you cant tranfers it with hydreigon, and it stays dead until mewtwo comes out..
-2 Prism: you already have too much energy going on, and this will affect the consistency of the deck. You should replace these spots with things that may help your deck staying on track..
+1 Random Receiver: Simple enough to have 3 in a deck who needs a stage 2 and rare candy T2. If you dont have the supporter you want, search it for more..
+2 Eviolite: Everyone is playing Tool Scrapper. So? That prevents your opponent to OHKO your Darkrai with Terrakion, and since you only have 2, thats even more obvious that you should be playing that. Even if everyone has Tool Scrapper, doesnt mean that you cant or must not play Eviolite. For example, you play Eviolite. your Op uses Scrapper. Ok, one for one. You dont use Eviolite, your Op has one more card to discard with Ultra Ball.
+1 Sigilyph: Its stays though on this deck, against rayeels it can save you a bit, but specially against Darkrai/Hydreigon, unless they want to attack with Hydreigon and risk a Ko.

Thats just my point of view, and the way i play this deck. Not saying that YOU MUST change, or even that you HAVE to consider, just trying to help you out with the knowledge i have.

Hope it works, zaratoichi
 
RE: Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!! HELP!?

Oke I changed my list and updated it. I hope i do well at BR tomorrow!! It still doesn't feel good with no terrakion in it, its just a OHKO to every darkrai im up against tomorrow. That just SOOO good right??

Maybe also this:

- 1 ultra ball
- 1 ????

+ 2 Eviolite
 
RE: Darkrai EX/Hydreigon Battle Roads!! HELP!?

This should do it right?:)

And i finished 4th with my 1 catcher!!!:)
Top 4 with even scores all 4-1
I played a juniper top draw my 5 last cards of my deck to discover that the catcher i needed to win the match was prized. Very unlucky!!!:( but i did pretty wel with the list i could make.
And i actually bought 1 booster DE after winning only DEX boosters and guess what,
A DARKRAI EX!!!
I went home very happy haha:)
