Pokemon (9):

(3) Sableye
(3) Darkrai EX
(2) Mewtwo EX
(1) Bouffalant BW6

Trainers (38):

(2) Energy Switch
(3) Ultra Ball
(4) Pokemon Catcher
(4) Hypnotoxic Laser
(2) Virbank City Gym
(1) Computer Search
(4) Dark Patch
(2) Eviolite
(2) Dark Claw
(1) Tool Scrapper
(4) N
(4) Professor Juniper
(2) Bianca
(3) Skyla

Energy (13):

(13) Darkness Energy
 
-1 Virbank City. A lot of people are going to play this, and if they don't, they may not even have a stadium. I think two is good
-1 DarkraiEX. 3 is probably enough.
-1 Sableye. 3 is defiantly enough.
-1 Ultra Ball. I think 3 is enough of this. I'm kinda being the anti-valve, I guess I like running 3 of things

+2 Dark Claw. This can make the Blastoise/Keldeo match up and gives you a non-scrapper way of dealing with eviolite
+2 Crushing Hammer. You probably left them out because there wasn't room, so I found room.

What I would do differently in reality is take out the Terrakion for more trainers, but I made that thread already, so this is a good build with Terrakion.
 
So I removed Terrakion for Bouffalant but I'm not sure how comfortable I am only having catcher as my only answer to Plasma Storm Klinklang and Sigilyph. Please tell me if I am missing something and Thank you for your time.

P.S. No Crushing Hammer's were added, I don't believe It's very effective in this format because of Eel's and Keldeo.
 
Bouffalant isn't bad against sigilyph, you just hypnotoxin it with virbank up and it oneshots it. I would suggest adding some DCEs in if you are including him and mewtwo though.
-4 Darkness
+1 Energy Switch
+3 DCE.
 
We'll likely be getting Colress in PS too so I would replace Bianca with that. Colress will make Bianca and Cheren completely obsolete IMHO.
 
Colress should not replace Cheren and Bianca at all, especially in this deck.

Think about it. Is there that many games where there's more than 3-4 Pokémon benched early game? Supporters have to be reliable, and if it's completely obsolete early game, then it can't be relied on. I don't mind it as a 1-of that can be awesome at the end of the game, but otherwise, Colress isn't as good as the hype says it is. This deck hates it even more because you don't fill your bench very often as a deck like Blastoise or Eels would do.
 
Consider a Keldeo EX tech for the deck as opposed to two Mewtwo (especially because you don't have any DCE in the deck and therefore have to rely on Energy Switch in order to X-Ball).

Keldeo is pretty good for getting around the Poison from opposing Lasers. I personally haven't tested a list for the upcoming metagame, but I know that I most likely will soon as Keldeo's Ability seems too good to pass up for this deck.

dmaster out.
