Hi readers! This will probably be my deck for nationals, because here in Portugal the format will probably be MD-CoL, this means that there aren't any BW rules. This list is a bit crazy, because it doesn't run Warp Energy, but still, I don't have any troubles retreating Dialga G L.X. So, here's the Decklist:

Pokémon (22):
2-1 Dialga G L.X PL
2-2 Garchomp C L.X SV
1-1 Luxray GL RR
2-1 Uxie L.X LA
1 Azelf LA
1-1 ToxiTank PL (I'll explain later)
1 Crobat G PL
1 Bronzong G PL
1 Lucario GL RR
1 Promocroak
1 Ambipom G RR

Energys (12):
4 DCE
4 SP Metal Energys
2 Metal Energys
1 Lightning Energy
2 Warp Energy
1 Psychic Energy

T/S/S (26):
2 Snowpoint Temple LA
4 Cyrus's Conspiracy PL
3 Pokémon Collector HGSS
1 Bebe's Search
1 Aaron's Collection
4 Poké Turn PL
3 Energy Gain PL
3 Power Sprays
2 SP Radar RR
1 Energy Exchanger UD
2 Expert Belt AR

Strategy:
Hopefully start with a way to use the attack "Deafen" from Dialga G to block Trainers and Stadiums from your opponent. Then, start tanking with Dialga G L.X. Use Garchomp C L.X to snipe and Luxray GL L.X to disrupt and take easy prizes (also as Gyarados counter). The rest is easily understanded, except ToxiTank, that has another purpose than killing Machamp. Let's see, Gyarados has to attack with 110 to be hard for SP's to beat it. So, put Luxray GL L.X with 2 Energys and an E-Gain. hen, be sure you have on your bench: Lucario GL and Skuntank G. Also, you MUST have Snowpoint Temple in play. After that, use Skuntank power to poison Gyarados. Then, use Trash Bolt to leave it with 10 HP (assuming that it has Expert Belt, if not use Flash Impact) and with the poison, they can't use Rescue.

PS: What should I take out to put 1 Warp Energy?
 
Only 2 stadiums won't work if you're using Toxitank, you will need more or you can drop the Toxitank. I find that using 4-5 of them is good, though I can't find 2-3 spots that can become stadiums...this is tight...
 
Yeah, it's REALLY tight. I've been using only 2 Stadiums and it's working well, but I won't add a larger number of Stadiums since I don't even know what to take out for Warp Energy.
Please I really need help with the Warp Energy. That's the only thing that I feel it's missing here.
 
I think that Warp Energy are NEEDED in this deck, they are what makes Dialga a tank. I'd say they're much more important than Promocroak, or if you would rather keep that then drop Toxitank, and also add in a third warp and another Bebe's.
 
Don't add a second bebe but instead add a communication. I like communications in sp decks cause they can get you any Pokemon outta your deck.
 
Deck updated. Taked out Unown Q and 1 Dialga G for 2 Warp Energys.
I won't take Promocroak OR ToxiTank, because there is a Gyarados, Machamp and Vilegarchamp in my meta, but there are also good SP Decks, so I need both.
 
I think you are going to be wanting more than one Lightning Energy in here, in case it ends up in your prizes.
-1 Bebe's Search
+1 Lightning Energy.

No, because I would take out my only Bebe's Search, and they are tooooo precious.
 
don't take out dialga G... He's your main attacker. Take out ambipom for dragonite FB for when you play other SP decks. Take out snow point temple for your dialga g and unown Q, you need him for your Uxie X to have free retreat.
 
I never use Uxie L.X, only as a Machamp counter, and if I do use it, I can attach an Energy to it. Also, I only have 2 Stadiums, so why should I take out 1 of them? And I find 3-1 Dialga G line not so useful, because in the max, I will use Dialga 2 times.
 
i meant take out both. I didn't actually say "take out one" i said "take out snow temple" meaning take it out completely. It's not that useful imo
