Darkrai EX/Sableye/Hypnotoxic Laser

I decided to run Dark Claw over Eviolite, since with HTL/Virbank in the format, Eviolite isn't as strong as it was before. I'd like to have some Escape Rope in this deck as well, but I think Keldeo EX does the job so much better.


3 Darkrai EX
2 Mewtwo EX
2 Sableye
1 Keldeo EX
= 8

4 N
4 Professor Juniper
2 Bianca
2 Skyla
4 Pokémon Catcher
4 Hypnotoxic Laser
2 Virbank City Gym
4 Dark Patch
3 Ultra Ball
3 Energy Switch
2 Bicycle
2 Dark Claw
1 Super Rod
1 Max Potion
1 Dowsing Machine
1 Energy Search
= 40

8 Darkness Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy
= 12

12 Supporters should be enough as I'm running Dowsing Machine and 2 Bicycle as well. Bicycle is just great, it allows you so many combos with Dowsing Machine.
 
Super Rod is slightly useless in Darkrai decks. Tool scrapper, however will be very useful as it negates Garbodor for a bit, and it keeps the ever-present float stone slightly less relevant.

-1 super rod
+1 tool scrapper.

Also, two Keldeo is a must for the gothgor matchup. the only other thing you could need is random reciever. this allows you to junk hunt for a supporter the following turn.

+1 keldeo ex
+1 RR
-2 bicycle
 
I prefer Absol PF as a secondary attacker over Mewtwo. Mewtwo has lost some definitive punch in this metagame. You're just asking for a worse matchup in the mirror and against Plasma as they have the option to go Deoxys on you. Meanwhile, Absol actually strengthens both matchups IMO because of the ability to hit for magic numbers and for cheap while not having the same drawbacks.

Darkrai's Dark Cloak gives Keldeo EX free Retreat with a Dark Energy attached (same for everything in the deck).

That's an excellent point. So basically you are telling me to replace my mewtwos with absols?

Yeah, I would highly consider playing Absols. They also force your opponent to take additional Prizes because most decks can't function on a limited Bench and it can become a dangerous attacker factoring in Claw+Laser+Virbank.
