Probably gonna play a Darkrai EX based deck for a League Cup this weekend, and I wanted some last minute thoughts. I have been playing it with Dragon Wish Dragonair for some time, but I have to consider baby Yveltal and want to hear thoughts about it. I have had good success setting up with Dragonair, and can also win games w/o Dragons Wish, thanks to Darkrai GX and Max Elixir. However, if you have a very good argument for baby Yveltal, I would like to hear it.

With Dragonair

Pokemon: 12
Darkrai EX -4
Darkrai GX - 2
Dragonair - 2-2
Tapu Lele GX - 2

Stadium: 2
Atlar of the Moone -2

Items: 19
Ultra Ball - 4
FFB - 4
Max Elixir - 4
Nest Ball - 3
Professors Letter - 3
Energy Retrieval - 2

Supporters: 11
Professor Sycamore - 4
Guzma - 3
N - 1
Sophocles - 2
Wally - 1

Dark Energy - 16



With Yveltal
- 4 Dragonair
-1 Wally
- 2 Energy Retrieval
- 2 Prof Letter

+ 2 Exp Share
+3 Yveltal
+2 Field Blower
+1 Sophocles
+1 Altar of the Moone

I would go the Yveltal route, mostly because it yields one prize and it can go through Ninetales. These are the changes I'd make:

- 1 Energy
- 2 Energy Retrieval
- 3 Professors Letter
- 1 Wally
- 1 Nest Ball
- 1 FFB
- 2 Dratini
- 2 Dragonair

+ 2 Altar of the Moone (moving around is great in this deck)
+ 1 Darkrai GX (mostly just to recover energy throughtout the game)
+ 2 Exp. Share (Keep energy in play)
+ 2 Yveltal (1 Prize attacker, goes through Ninetales)
+ 3 N (consistency)
+ 1 Fan Club (get your Darkrais rolling)
+ 2 Field Blower (got rid of tools, mostly FFB and CBs)

I hope this helps! The Dragonair route is cool, but Ive found games to be inconsistent with it :/
 
id say keep the deck the way it is and to not make any major changes, the last thing you should do before the tournament is to change the entire structure of the deck to something you aren't familiar with especially when it is working well for you.

the only change i think maybe you should make is one less nest ball for another draw support if you think its needed.
