Okay, so I'm wondering which to put in. Do I tech a Retaliate Terrakion, or aim to get a Computer Search? Just noticed on the above list I'm one card short. Originally the Terrakion was planned, but now I'm not sure.
 
I would first amp the line of supporters to4 N. then -2 P. communication plus 2 Terrakion. The reason behind this is darkrai ex and since you dont run ultra balls and since he isnt a deagon tupe you cant get away with just one. And my last note would be to drop the line of level ball to 3 or take off one Emolga to find room for computer search. 4 level ball is a little extensive since you have Emilia and dragon call.
 
Just IMO:
- 2 Communication
- 2 Switch
+ 1 Gold Potion
+ 1 Gabite (maxing it is worth it)
+ 2 Skyla
+ 1 Cheren or N

Level Ball must stay maxed for sure.
 
I'm playing 3 Emolga to increase my chances of opening with it.

Main reason I'm playing Communication is so I can send dead Emolgas back to the deck and get out pieces I need. It will probably be Level Ball I'll drop to 3 so I can fit the Computer Search if I can get hold of one.

I'm iffy on Gold Potion. After playing at League this week, I thought the only deck it'd work well in would be Darkrai/Sableye/Hammer.

I do really like Skyla as a card, but I'm unsure on what to drop. I feel the Switches are needed to save a little on needing to spend energy to retreat.
 
Computer Search is a must for this. This deck has a hard enough time with consistency already, it can't afford to use something like Gold Potion.

The only other major flaw that I notice is the lack of Supporters. Most decks can't function nowadays without an absolute minimum of 12-13 Supporters. I'm really not sure what to take out, but it would probably something along the lines of an Energy, a Pokemon Communication, and an Emolga. I don't like getting rid of any of those but you really need the supporters.
 
List edited, but I'm still going to test a few of the cards I've been thinking about at some point at League.
