At States i played Jumpluff and did pretty good for my first tournament and went 5-3.I played Donphan/Yanmega at regionals and did terrible going 2-4 then i dropped. With the new announcement of a Hgss format i thought it was time to try and build a deck. This is what i came up with. It still has the same main two pokemon as my regionals failure but in a hgss format they are strong stage 1 pokemon. That can attack for 0 or 1 energy. Im posting because i just wanted to know what you guys thought of the deck and if it will be good in the Hgss format.

Pokemon-18
4 Yanma
4 Yanmega prime
4 Phanpy
4 Donphan
1 HootHoot
1 Noctowl

Trainer-31

Items-10
4 Switch
3 Pokemon Communication
3 Super Scoop Up

Supporters-21
4 Pokemon collector
4 Professor Elms Training Method
3 PONT
4 Judge
4 CopyCat
2 Seeker

Energy-11
3 Rescue energy
8 fighting energy

Noctowl allows me to maintain hand size with my opponent allowing Yanmega to attack for free while offering draw power. Judge , CopyCat , And PONT also offer great hand refresh while supplying Yanmegas Poke-Body.The huge amount of hand refresh allows me to get my pokemon out very quickly and when there is nothing else to play from my hand shuffle it back into the deck.Thanks a lot please give me some criticism.
 
RE: Donphan/Yanmega HGss -on

Many times the problem with Yanmega paired with another pokemon is that setting up means sacrificing Yanmega's attack for the turn, as you can't recover the cards you've played. It's a dangerous game, but I'd love to see how well this deck does; I personally don't think Yanmega covers Donphan's bad matchups better than Machamp does, though.
