HydoBoar (Hydreigon/Emboar) HGSS-NV

Just trying to do a little looking ahead to the next set and i think this deck could make some noise, but I know it needs some work.

Pokemon 19

4-2-4 Hydreigon NV
3-2-3 Emboar BLW (2 ability, 1 bad boar)
1 Cleffa

T/S/S 29
4 Pokemon Collector
3 PONT
3 Twins
2 N
1 Fisherman
4 Pokemon Communication
3 Rare Candy
3 Junk Arm
2 Catcher
2 Switch
1 Plus Power
1 Energy Retrieval

Energy 12
9 {R}
3 {C}{C}

The strategy of the deck is to be able to Emboar's Inferno Fandango to get energy onto Hydreigon which has the ability Dark Aura making all energy attached to him dark energy. Hydreigon's attack does 60 to the active and 40 to two benched pokemon. Bad Boar is in the deck to help take down any heavy HP pokemon. Thanks for taking a look and I appreciate any advice!
 
Not bad. But I think the 1 Energy Retrieval and Switch is slightly inconsistent. I don't think it needs 4 Pokemon Collectors. I'm no expert, but maybe you should try:
-2 Pokemon Collectors
+1 Switch
+1 Energy Retrieval
Other than that, it looks OK.;)
 
Dropping two collectors is not a good idea. Stage 2 decks really need those basics out T1. With only two collector, that isn't going to happen. I do agree with your adds though. I'd probably drop N for a third twins and that second switch, because this deck is going to fall behind stuff like ZPST or Reshiphlosion.

-2 N

+1 Twins
+1 Switch
 
This oh my god this. In this upcoming format though I'd maybe want to play Vileplume in this build, considering it can be pretty slow as it is, Vileplume is added insurance against the likes of Gothitelle and Zekrom/P/S/T/Y decks.
 
Yea I definitely don't want to go below the 4 Collector it's something you really need T1. I have been falling behind in testing more than I thought so the 3rd Twins is probably a good idea. Although instead of dropping N i decided to drop Cheren. I think instead of adding a second Energy Retrieval I would rather add in a Fisherman for the chance to get a couple more back at once. I also decided DCE would be a great idea so I'm not discarding 4 Fire energy at a time when I have to attack with "Bad-Boar" so I decided to drop 3 Fire and add 3 DCE. I am wondering if I should add in a 1-1 Ninetales line for some extra draw though let me know what you guys think. Also the list is updated let me know how it looks, thanks again for the input!
 
Have you considered Tornadus as a peice of tech? with DCE and Emboar, it shouldn't be hard to abuse him. And moving 1 Fire energy every time he attacks to Hydreigon to get it ready to go doesn't seem too bad either. Also, i don't like the 1 of Plus Power, maybe try an Interviewer's Questions in that slot instead to add some speed to abuse Emboars ability
 
I really like this idea, but you might want to add a little more {R} and maybe some rescue. Looks good to me!
 
Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss I can vouch for Hydreigon he is incredible
Your Pokemon Count and set up looks great i myself run 3-2-3 and it works excellent
you more then anything need work on your Trainers/Supporters
I myself have actually thought of this idea so just to suggest this is what id do

-1 Retrieval
-1 Plus Power
-2 N

+1 Fisherman
+1 Rare Candy
+1 Catcher
+1 Junk Arm/Switch (on the fence on that one so take your pick)

Hope i help a little i dont really see the good in 1 badboar over 3 ability
and if you can find a way to work in another DCE or Fire Energy itd be good
Peace
