18 Pokémon:
  • 3 Alakazam EX FAC
  • 3 M Alakazam EX FAC
  • 3 Zubat
  • 3 Golbat
  • 2 Crobat
  • 2 Shaymin EX ROS
  • 1 Hoopa EX AOR
  • 1 Wobbuffet PHF
31 Trainer:
  • 3 Alakazam Spirit Link FAC
  • 4 Devolution Spray FAC
  • 1 Super Scoop Up FFI
  • 2 Lysandre
  • 2 N FAC
  • 4 Ultra Ball
  • 4 Trainer's Mail
  • 1 Professor's Letter
  • 4 Dimensional Valley
  • 3 Mega Turbo
  • 2 AZ
  • 2 Skyla
11 Energy:
  • 4 Mystery Energy
  • 5 Psychic Energy


Strategy:

Mega evolve the Alakazams to poke at pesky bench techs (Shaymin, Hoopa, Night March Mew/Joltik, etc.)
Devolution Spray to keep the pressure from Kinesis/Crobat up.

EDIT:
Removed the Mewtwo EX in favor of Crobats.
Added AZ and removed 2 SSU.
Thinned other Pokemon to make room for Bats.
Added Skyla.

This is my first deck I've built without help from a friend!

Input and advice is much appreciated!

Mewtwo (damage change) is for?
Click to expand...
To set up for a Lysandre switch with a Pokemon that has either less damage counters than Mewtwo or no damage counters. If that doesn't knock out the switched Pokemon then you could always try to switch to M Alakazam and attack or mega evolve on the bench to finish it off.

I would replace Mewtwo EX it doesn't help because mewtwo needs damage on it to work
-3 Mewtwo EX
-2 Scoop ups
+1-1-1 Crobat
+2 AZ
Also I don't know what to take out but also add a 2-2-1 more line of crobat, works better than Mewtwo EX

I did consider doing bats but figured the Mewtwo would be a bit better. I'll make the changes!

I've been playong a version of this on PTCGO and did pretty well with Mew also (although I only had 1 D-Valley 3 Alakazam's 2 M Alakazams and no shaymin's) also Bench space is very annoying in this deck

I haven't really been able to see much use for the Mew other than Night March. XD

I did throw in some Skyla and Mega Turbos for a bit of energy and trainer retrieval to help keep things going if I need either of them. I think with the help I've gotten and a bit of tinkering myself, it looks like a solid deck so far!

I agree good luck with it also I used the mew for Encounter as well as wobbufett
 
This was my take on M Alakazam utilizing Absol to move the three damage counters to the active for one turn knocks outs

Between bats and Absol what do you think?

I considered Absol but bench space is a HUGE problem with this deck
 
11 energy is too many for a deck that only uses single energy cost attackers. This deck was made to be combined with 4 dimension valley. Any less would be a waste. You want to attack fast and you want to attack every single turn. If your energy is discarded then this is not possible without Dimension Valley. Cut down on at least two energy and a Professor's Letter, this will create deck space for other techs as well. Not only that, but with only 2 dimension valley you're likely to lose the stadium war.

Anyway nice deck list! I also play Alakazam EX. I don't use bats though, if you ask me Kinesis is way better at placing damage counters. So I feel more comfortable with a 4-4 line. Yeah pretty expensive...

Thanks! It's great to get so much feedback on my decklist! I've seen a lot of concern with bench space however due to the Bats lineup. Would there be some better alternatives?
