Pokemon(19):
4-3-1 Hippowdon Lv. X (RR-RR-RR)
2-2 Bronzong (TM-SF)
3 Regirock (LA)
1-1 Uxie Lv. X (LA-LA)
1 Azelf (LA)
1 Luxray GL (RR)

T/S/S(28):
2 Expert Belt
1 Luxury Ball
3 Pokemon Communication
3 Premier Ball
2 Super Scoop Up
2 VS Seeker
2 Lucian's Assignment
2 Pokemon Collector
3 Professor Oak's New Theory
3 Engineer's Assignment
1 Judge
1 Seeker
3 Stark Mountain

Energy(13):
12 {F}
1 {L}

Strategy:
Use Registark engine to beef up Hippowdon with fighting energy to use Save Sand. Bronzong is in there for Cycler to get energy into my hand fast. Luxray GL is for Gyarados decks. T/S/S should be pretty self-descriptive.

Problems:
I'd like to add in another Luxray GL for consistency, but I'm already Pokemon heavy. Should I throw in another one, and if so, what should I drop?

I don't feel like my T/S/S line is consistent enough. I'm not really talking about Seeker or Judge, I have only one of each for a reason, but the other cards I'm not sure about. My big problem is I can't see dropping any of them. What should I do?

Finally, like I said, it feel too Pokemon heavy. I generally only like running 15-18 Pokemon, and with Lostgar, I am even more wary. Suggestions?

Suggested Changes:
-1 Regirock, -1 Stark, -1 Premier Ball, -2 VS Seeker; +1 Uxie, +2 SSU, +1 Collector, +1 Judge.
-1 Regirock, -1 Stark, -1 Premier Ball, -2 VS Seeker, -1 PONT; +1 Seeker, +2 Warp Energy, +1 Uxie, +1 Luxray GL, +1 Collector/Communication (I'd probably do Collector)
 
IMO, you don't need 3 Stark. I don't think you need 3 Regirock, either. 2 Should do fine. I feel like you could take out VS. Seeker. Add another Uxie, and max SSu for consistency. 3 Premier Ball is overkill, too, IMO.
-1 Regirock
-1 Stark Mtn.
-1 Premier Ball
-2 Vs. Seeker

+1 Uxie
+2 SSU
+1 Collector (MOAR CONSISTENCY)
+1 Judge (Helps with the G-Dos match-up)
 
Alright, cool, thanks. I'll try that. I was a little worried about running 3 regis and starks, so I'm glad it wasn't unfounded.
 
-1 Regirock
-1 Stark
-1 Premier
-2 Vs. Seeker
-1 PoNT

to add
+1 seeker
+2 warp energies
+1 Uxie
+1 luxray G (since you wanted a second)
+1 collector/communication

With the seeker warp energy combo you can warp hippowdon to your bench, seeker him up (to heal) and then lay him back down while you already had a second one on your bench ready and you can LVL that second one up fo the X
 
I like that. I like that a lot. I've had problems with Hippowdon getting too beaten up. Plus, with Lucian's I won't lose that energy. Thanks for the suggestions.
