Hey guys, I need some help with this deck I'm trying out, so if there's anything that I should change, please reply down below.

2 Rayquaza Ex (DR)
3-1-4 AbilityBoar (BW)
2 Reshiram (ND)
3 Emolga (DR)

4 Professor Juniper (DE)
3 N (NV)
3 Cheren (DE)
4 Rare Candy (DE)
3 Pokemon Catcher (EP)
3 Switch (BW)
3 Retrieval (BW)
2 Super Rod (NV)
2 Heavy Ball (DE)
2 Ultra Ball (DE)
2 Skyarrow Bridge (NV)

10 {R}
4 {L}

I did get this decklist from somewhere else and modified it, so please help me make this deck better.
-RayEx150

ERROR MISTAKE:
3 Cherens
 
-2 Cheren
-1 Emboar (3-1-4 probably might end up weirdly)
+3 Bianca (Since you're running Ultra Ball)
+1 Ultra Ball (I'm counting 59 every time I count this deck list)
Maybe take out the Heavy ball line. I prefer using ball cards only when they can search out more than just one specific card. Here, I only see it being able to search Emboar. Add another Retrieval, N, Catcher, or a Level ball line. (Since level ball can search out Emolga and Tepig.)
 
By the way, I modified it a little. Here's what I did:
-1 Emolga
+1 Victini(V-Create)

I find Victini helpful to counter Empoleons and to do overall damage.

This won't stand ground against Empoleon at all. There are many things better you could use, and many bad things that will happen using it.

Empoleons can just hit it for weakness without effort, since you will have a full bench going into the opponent's turn. 100 for two and a full bench isn't the best output, and Victini is easy bait. You're not really setting up a counter; you're practically helping the Empoleon decks.

Some people use Zekrom as a Empoleon counter because of Outrage. Try that.
 
I'm just using Victini as a quick boost, but thanks for the idea. I'll try that.

Just wondering, but how many should I play?
 
Yay, Emboar!:D

Ok, a few things here:

1. Emolga, not really needed, you only need a few Pokemon to get started and Heavy Ball does most of the work.
2. SkyArrow Bridge isn't needed, yes it gives RayRay free retreat, but he deosn't need it seeing as how you attach straight to him, active or not.
3. You need Eviolite. Decks that have Basic attackers need Eviolite, it saves them a lot, and in this case, greatly against Empoleon.

So that's:

-3 Emolga
-2 Sky Arrow Bridge

+3 Eviolite
+2 Heavy Ball

This is just a tip, Empoleon isn't auto-win against this deck. If you get Emboar before they get Empoleon, and you keep your bench to only 2 Pokemon, you can take out an Empoleon or maybe even two before your Reshiram get's KO'd. If you can take out at two Empoleon's before Reshiram EX get's KO'd, you'll probably win. And if they use Roserade, don't worry about Empoleon, take out Roselia before Roserade comes out, deny them their search and you'll be put a few turns ahead of them, which is what you need.

Well through testing, I see that Emolga is a huge help with setup, and I know sky arrow doesn't help at all XD So I'll probably keep Emolga though. Though which is more important? Heavy ball or eviolite?
 
Well, seeing as that you can only search Emboar with heavy ball, and you have four of him, you can drop the heavy ball.
The main thing is that if you run Heavy/Level, or something similar, it's good to have more than one specific pokemon getting searched by that ball.

Only Emboar? You can get Reshiram EX, Emboar and Pignite.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Pignite.
I'm not sure about Reshiram EX in a Ray EX deck, though. Rayquaza EX and Standard Reshiram are probably good enough for this.
