Flareon Deck (Flareon / Garbodor)

i've been playing a Flareon deck that I pretty much netdecked from TheTopCut's budget deck article and with testing online, i've found that i'm having a lot of trouble against Yvetal EX decks which seem to be very popular these days. Yvetal can kill all of my Flareons in 1 turn with Evil Ball and I don't think any of the pokemon in my deck can deal with Yvetal very well. Does anybody know any tech cards I could play in my deck to help in this matchup or any tips as to how I should be playing against this deck?

RE: Flareon Deck Help

Probably the best counter I can recommend is Raichu from XY. It's first attack, circle circuit, does 20 times the number of your benched pokemon for just a DCE (very conveniently). If you have a full bench, it's a OHKO. That said, it is another stage 1 you'd have to run, and it's advantage is largely negated by Shadow Circle (especially since you don't have any stadiums of your own). If you do choose to run Raichu, you absolutely should run at least two stadium cards to counteract it.

One possibility for stadiums is to run Virbank City Gym and some hypnotoxic lasers. If you do, I might take out the drifblims and hammers. This would open up 8 slots, which is at least enough to run 2 virbank, 4 lasers, and a 1/1 Raichu line. Depending on your results with that, I might run a 2/2 Raichu line, possibly taking out a float stone and a random receiver.

A couple of other suggestions:
Dragons Exalted #43 Manectric
Plasma Freeze Lanturn
Both of these can make short work of Yveltal EX without being dependent on your bench.

Also a handful of Muscle band, Silver Bangle and Silver mirror. You dont need 4 float stones. If you are retreating frequently with this deck, something is wrong. You borderline want your pokemon to get knocked out.
You can run Blends/Rainbow in this deck.
I use a 3/2 split of flareon/leafeon.
I also use Foul Play Zoroark as a counter to genesect, Black Kyurem EX and yveltal ex.
Also you only really need 2 Shadow Steal Drifblim unless you are playing in a plasma heavy meta.
Garbodor is a match-up pokemon, i dont play my 2/2 line down unless its blastoise/rayboar or genesect. Plasma too.
