23 pokemon

3-2-3 Tyranitar (unleashed 51, unleashed 38, prime)
2-1-2 Serperior (b/w 2, b/w 4, b/w ability)
3-3 Yanmega
1 Tyroge
1 Cleffa
1-1 Zoroark

24 t/s/s

4 Judge
4 Rare Candy
4 Pokemon Communication
4 Pokemon Collector
3 Pokemon Reversal
3 Professor Oak's New Theory
2 Switch

13 energy

4 Darkness Energy (special)
4 Double Colorless Energy
5 Darkness Energy (Basic)

This isn't the version which topped American nationals. I've always liked tyranitar and wanted to fix up a previous build. This version isn't auto lose to donphan unlike my previous version. With serperior in the mix, you can heal you pokemon from darkness howl, and also use tyranitar as a tank. Yanmega is used as a back up attacker and is pretty good vs donphan. If you guys have any suggestions feel free to post them.
 
Also starting to think I should take out the rainbow energies for basic darkness energy. I'm just wondering if I have the right ratios for the t/s/s.
 
I think you should stick to only using the Ability Serperior.
-1-1 Yanmega (2-2 line at most)
-1 Judge (4 a bit to many)
-2 Copycat
-3 Rainbow Energy (don't really need em)

+2 Cleffa
+1-1 Zoroark (2-2 is the best choice)
+4 Special Darkness Energy (or Basic, I don't know if you have Basic ones already or not) (you always need some in Tyranitar)

I hope this helped.

I meant my darkness energies to be special (face-palm on my part). I was hesitating on the rainbow energies (it just confirms my hesitation with someone else thinking the same thing). I'm trying to avoid many baby pokemon. I'm a little tired of getting donked or getting multiple easy kills. Why 2-2 line of yanmega at most (sorry if this is a noob question)? I know that if I go down to a 2-2 line of yanmega I'd prob bump up zoroark to 2-2. Also if I'd reduce the yanmega line, I'd be able to cut another judge, and be able to fix certain ratios.

*I fixed the supporter draw card ratio.
 
^Getting donked will happen in this format and you can do it to someone else. Thats fun :D
If you think on the positive side, Cleffa can give a constant hand restarter for no Energy at all. It's good to have 3 Cleffa in a deck. And if you get donked, just take it like a man and ask your opponent for a rematch outside the contest area (that way you have something to do before the next round starts).

3-3 is a bit to much. You can take the 2 cards and put them somewhere else for good use. Zoroark is the best place to put those cards. 2-2 Zoroark is a solid line for this deck list and every deck list.
 
PLEASE don't listen to that....1/2 cleffa max. "take it like a man"? what? umm...i'd rather reduce my chances of getting donked than get donked...possibly losing the game/a chance at cut. 1 cleffa is a good choice for this deck. your tss looks good...but i'd cut a reversal for the collector to make sure your early game is consistent. 3-3 yanmega is great, keep that. to combo with mega...take out the oak and replace it with copycat...1-1 zoroark is all you need. i'd also add in a buffalo for revenge ko'ing rdl/zekrom..but you might not need that considering you have zoroark. otherwise, nice list :)

Thanks for the advice. I did make the switch to max out pokemon collector. I'm going to test and see if I really need to throw a copycat or 2 into the mix.
