Previously I was playing a bit more aggressive Darkrai but, League Challenge is coming up soon and I feel like trying out a new deck. If you could possibly help in any way it would be much appreciated.

In my area there are a lot of Blastoise and Emboar so basically I want to shut off abilities(w/ Garbodor) and try to T2 night spear and KO as quick as possible

Edited to coincide with the rules! :) -Scorched Feathers
 
Hi Br0vyle,

Nice deck. consider the trainer selection below. Modifications are outlined in itallics. The reason for these modification was the described metagame and the need to run more tools to ensure a fast and stable ability lock. Consider that most decks now run 1-2 Tool Scrapper and Hammers are not very effective against Blastoise and/or Emboer decks anyway.

N x4
Bianca x2
Colress x2
Dark patch x4
Dark claw x2
hypnotoxic laser x4
Virbank city gym x2
Float stone x4
Enhanched Hammer x2
Dowsing Maschine x1
Super Rod x1
Tool scrapper x1
Energy Switch x3
Ultra Ball x3

Regarding Pokémon I would do this:

- 1 Keldeo Ex (Garbador locks him)
+ 1 Darkrai Ex (main attacker)
 
If your meta is swimming in blastoise & emboar decks you may wanna look into fitting in 1-2 frozen city stadium as it will ruin any blastoise/emboar players day if they can't get rid of if consistently. Good luck with your deck

Thank you for the input sadly I don't have a other darkrai ex however your
Trainer selections did help alot

Maybe also consider this modification:

- 1 Energy Switch / Absol
+ 1 Darkrai Ex

Not sure on the latter modification since it depends on the metagame and your playstyle.

Only 2 Darkrai EX - your main attacker (what if 1 is prized)???

Why Keldeo EX? As soon as you attach a Tool to your Garbodor, KEX's Rush In Ability is nullified.

Secondly, do you really plan to attach 1 of your Dark Claws or Float Stones (4 Tools total? Seems low to me...) to your Garbodor?

So, I'd suggest:

-1 Keldeo EX. Will not really help you once Garbotoxin is in effect.
-1 Dark Claw. I've found 2 to be quite sufficient. In addition, these can be Junk Hunt'd.
-2 Hypnotoxic Laser. I've found 2 to be quite sufficient. In addition, these can be Junk Hunt'd.
-1 Energy Switch. I've found 2 to be quite sufficient. In addition, these can be Junk Hunt'd.

+1 Darkrai EX. At least...
+2 Silver Bangle. Helps Absol 1HKO opponent's EXs without you sacrificing 2 prizes (i.e., Darkrai EX) in the exchange.
+2 Skyla / Rescue Scarf. Helps you search for needed Trainers / the Scarfs help you "recycle" your Garbodor quickly when KOd.

I hope you find these comments helpful.
