  3 Deino (LT)
  1 Zweilous (PHF)
  3 Hydreigon (LT)
  2 Yveltal EX
  2 Malamar EX
  2 Darkrai EX
  2 Yveltal (XY)
  1 Darkrai (XY22 promo)
  1 Victini (LT)

  3 Rare Candy
  2 Ultra Ball
  2 Roller Skates
  2 Startling Megaphone
  2 Max Potion
  2 VS Seeker
  1 Scoop up Cyclone
  1 Professor's Letter
  2 Muscle Band
  1 Silver Bangle
  3 Professor Juniper
  2 N
  1 Shauna
  2 Colress
  2 Skyla
  1 Lysandre
  2 Shadow Circle

Energy:

• 
  4 Rainbow Energy
  8 Darkness Energy

Strategy:

Basic idea is with Hydreigon bench sitting, malamar bench sitting yveltal-ex for attack. Attach energy from hand to Malamar-EX for sleep effect, then utilise Hydreigons "Dark Trance ability" to move that energy where its needed, generally my active pokemon. Baby Yveltal is included for reclaiming lost energies later, or for energy acceleration to a degree early game via ultra-ball. Victini = Malamar-EXs attack buffer. Silver Bangle is included for Hydreigon, though he is not the "desirable" attacker, with bangle can OHKO a 170HP EX. Darkrai-EX for the free retreat ability, and Darkrai(promo) is there as a single prize sacrifice(i spose) to capitalise on Malamar-EXs sleep Ability.

Been playing this deck for a while at my lokemon pokemon play club and have been finishing in decent positions, I'm just not sure what to adjust next to improve it, so though i'd ask here for advice . Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

RE: Hydreigon(LT) / Yveltal-EX / Malamar-EX

Too many pokemons, so you need more Ultra ball.

I'd cut the skates and add 2 more ultra balls.

I dont think Fliptini is super important to this deck. I also think you have to decide who your main attacker is. Malmar, yveltal, or Darkrai.

Yveltal is definitely the preferred attacker. You should only be using Malamar to attach Energy to trigger its Ability, and then move them over to Yveltal with Hydreigon to attack with, so I would drop the Victini. Evil Ball's damage output is just way more consistent, and you'll usually be doing the same amount of damage if not more with Yveltal. Another thing to consider if you haven't already is the other Hydreigon with Dark Impulse from Phantom Forces. It might be worth it to play it as a one-of for acceleration out of the discard pile. Just something to think about; haven't played Hydreigon in ages.
