Darkrai Lasers

Hey guys, so I've been playing Darkrai Hydreigon for quite some time now, and feel that it is slipping in the meta. So I've decided to switch to Darkrai Lasers/Speed Darkrai. Anyhoo on with the list :)

Pokemon
4x Darkrai EX
1x Keldeo EX
3x Sabelye EX

Trainers
1x Computer Search
2x Crushing Hammer
2x Dark Claw
4x Dark Patch
4x Energy Switch
2x Enhanced Hammer
4x Hypnotoxic Laser
4x Pokemon Catcher
2x Ultra Ball

2x Virbank City Gym

2x Colress
4x N
4x Professor Juniper
3x Skyla

Energy

12x Darkness Energy

Testing has shown this to be a consistent list and I can normally get a T2 Night Spear, occasionally T1. This deck's main weakness is of course PlasmaKlang, and I dont know how I should counter it. Any thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thank you in advance
 
looks decent.
What will you do if you have a face off against a plasmaklang deck?
It might be worth it to throw in a reshiram or a benchtini.
 
you can counter plasmaklang by catcher stalling, poison damage and spamming hammers.
it is very winnable.
 
Hmm, I would change colress into Bianca, your often only have 2-3 Pokemons in play. -1 Skyla for a third Ultra Ball you will need it for discarding. -1 darkess energy for a third Crushing Hammer, it is an amazing card in this deck and I for one, always play atleast 3 of them
 
Tagging off what Baby_BI said you might want to even further consider bicycles instead of bianca. it's two less cards, but really helps with late game Ns
 
Thanks for all your suggestions. I tried out Bianca and preferred it so i'm probably keeping it.
Baby_BI: Your other suggestions also worked well and so I've made those changes.
ryter78: I felt that my bench was never full up to use Benchtini effectively and what would you suggest taking out for Reshiram?

It's really tough to say. Maybe an N?

hmm ok I'll test that out
 
I have been looking very closely at making a deck for this and this is what I would suggest:

-1 or 2 Enhanced Hammer (leaves more room for more valuable cards)
-1 Pokemon Catcher? (Three is going to be more than enough due to junk hunt and another thing is you are most likely going to use only one a turn)
-1 Colress (This deck is solely based on speed and being able to suffice with late game, but one is always a good number to have.)
-1 N? (This leaves room for other cards and I'll explain reason number 2 later on.)
-1 Skyla (Same as N)
-1 Dark Energy? (Totally optional but I find 11 to be the magic number for this deck.)

+2 Ultra Ball (You practically NEED 4 of this guy in this deck due to discard power for Dark Patch and a speedy set-up.)
+1 Bianca (This card will be a good supporter due to the amount you dicard in this deck.)
+1 or 2 Random Reciever (This card will be your savior in a bad supporter draw, and this card is why I got rid of the other 2 supporters leading me to reason number 2. Your most wanted card from a Random Receiver is at a majority Professor Juniper, why risk it? More likely to get a card from a 4 card line than a 3 or a 2 right?)
+1 Tool Scrapper (Garbador will be a problem to this deck and another very important aspect to this card is those dang Eviolites! This might not be as much played as it was before but if it does show up preventing you from the knockout, this card fits like a glove.)
+1 Max Potion? (With the ability to take off all damage counters, being able to retrieve energy from the discard pile, and being able to junk hunt for it. Can't beat that, right?)

Litty out.
