I've been having problems with my deck lately, and I wanted to know if I've been doing something wrong so this is what I have

Pokemon:
  • 1 M Gardevoir EX
  • 2 Gardevoir EX
  • 1 M Diancie EX
  • 1 Diancie EX
  • 2 Florges EX
  • 1 Xerneas EX
  • 2 Xerneas (XY)
  • 2 Aromatisse (XY)
  • 2 Spritzee (XY)
  • 1 Slurpuff (PHF)
  • 1 Swirlix (PHF)
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums:
  • 2 Teammates
  • 1 AZ
  • 2 Cheren
  • 3 Pokemon Center Lady
  • 1 Colress
  • 2 Pokemon Fan Club
  • 2 Skyla
  • 2 Team Flare Grunt
  • 2 N
  • 1 Scramble Switch
  • 1 Enhanced Hammer
  • 2 Gardevoir Spirit Link
  • 2 Professor's Letter
  • 2 Pokemon Catcher
  • 3 Fairy Garden
Energy:
  • 4 Wonder Energy
  • 2 Double Colorless Energy
  • 10 Fairy Energy
 
First thing I would say is that your Pokemon line seems to be a little unfocused- you have too many evolution lines with Mega Gardevoir, Mega Diancie, Slurpuff and Aromatisse, which means that your deck won't have the consistency it needs. You should try and focus on a main attacker or a couple of main attackers if you're running a purely Fairy deck- so choose Florges, Mega Gardevoir or Mega Diancie and try and put in 3-3 or 4-4 lines of those rather than trying to put too many Pokemon in. I think 4 Xerneas (non-EX) is essential so that you heighten the chance of starting with it, and can get Geomancy going ASAP.

Your Trainers need some work, too. Most decks run 4 Professor Sycamore just because of the pure draw power it offers, as well as 4 N/Shauna/Professor Birch's Observations, again for draw power. I would also suggest losing the following supporters, as there are better options;

- 1 Teammates
- 1 AZ
- 2 Cheren
- 3 Pokemon Centre Lady (Could go down to 1 if you like)
- 2 Team Flare Grunt

And I would suggest adding at least 1 Lysandre, as it can win games if you're down to one or two prizes and there's an EX on the bench waiting to get knocked out. Pokemon Fan Club and Skyla are fine, though you can replace PFC and I don't think the deck would run any worse.

Item-wise, you're not running any Ultra Balls, which would be incredibly useful in this deck, so I think 3 would be good. Pokemon Catcher I think is too unreliable to play now, and can be replaced with more useful Items such as Muscle Bands, Evosoda (for Aromatisse), VS Seekers or Sacred Ash. I personally think 2-3 VS Seekers are staples for most decks. 3 Fairy Garden is a good count, but if you're not getting it enough, I would bump it to 4- it is essential in this deck.

Your energy doesn't look too bad, but I'd cut out the Wonder Energy completely- it's not too useful and can't be accelerated by Xerneas, as well as being a prime target for Enhanced Hammer. I don't know if you really need the DCE either- if you end up running 2 Xerneas-EX, I'd say keep it, but if not I'd kick it out.

Hopefully some of this is useful.
 
As Mrs Hugo said, it should be focused on Lines, I would kick out the Mega Diancie just because you already have a Gardevoir in there, and I don't really see more than 1 Mega in a deck (like different Pokemon). If you do this, It would be a 2-2 because you have two Spirit Links, but only one mega. Other than what I have said and Mrs Hugo, good deck! :D
 
I have access to 2 more N's, as well as a third florges, I could change my pokemon lineup to
2 M Gardevoirs
2 Gardevoirs
3 Florges
3 Xerneas ( geomancy )
2 Aromatisse
2 slurpuff

other than that, I have most fairies out by 3 of each,
supporters
I have
1 battle reporter
2 more N's

been trying to take out the catchers but it's hard to get in my community, I have 2 ultra balls, so I'll put them in
thanks for the help
 
Instead of the center lady you may want to use max potions or at least super potions. The slurpuff will protect you from the status conditions. With aromatise you can just take the energy off and put it back so that you don't have to discard any. This change will allow you to heal while still giving you access to another supporter for the turn.
 
In my deck version, I found that it was critical to Geomancy EARLY and often while setting up the Gardevoirs. My list was straightforward (which provides a great deal of consistency) and included:

4 Xerneas
4 Gardevoir EX
3 M Gardevoir EX
3 Spritzee
2 Aromatisse
2-3 tech Poké (alternate attackers or support Poké - consider your area's metagame)

2 Pokémon Fan Club
2 Ultra Ball
2 Repeat Ball

From your list, my initial impression is that you have "too many" things going on and you would be better served if you created more focus in your deck by reducing "low value" or "low priority options" (e.g., 1-1 Slurpuff).
 
I checked Crann777's list and I'll keep it close thanks ^_^

@TuxedoBlack your idea is good too, question for tech is good to use 3 florges??

thank you all for the help

I will answer for him since he's probably busy. No because she's not that great of an attacker and only a tech card, meaning if she's prized or discarded, she won't be so much of a liability like Gardevoir EX or M Gardevoir. Also, you wouldn't want to build a deck around her since she has low HP and only hits for 120 max.

Also find a way to fit these staples:

4 N

4 Sycamore

1 Colress

3 VS Seeker

And Fairy decks need at least 2 Super Potion or Max Potion

I personally prefer to diversify my techs which can hit my opponent's Weakness, snipes the bench, and/or has "massive" damage output potential. For example, consider Poké like Landorus EX, Manectric EX, Mewtwo EX and/or Yveltal EX. Needless to say, you'll also need to run some Rainbow energy too.

Florges EX, IMO, does not bring anything "special" to the deck (moreso than M Gardevoir EX) and it is not difficult to 1HKO a Florges EX given its 160 HP.
 
I think your deck is a little unfocused right now and needs to focus on less Pokemon, and your deck needs more draw support like Professor Sycamore.

-2 Florges EX
-1 Xerneas EX
+2 Xerneas
+1 M Diancie EX
+1 Diancie EX
+1 M Gardevoir EX
-2 Double Colorless
-1 AZ
+1 Super Scoop Up
-2 Cheren
-2 Team Flare Grunt
+4 Professor Sycamore
-3 Pokemon Center Lady
-1 Scramble Switch
+4 Super Potion
-1 Skyla
+3 Colress
-2 Pokemon Catcher
-2 Professor's Letter
-1 Enhanced Hammer
+3 Ultra Ball
-4 Wonder Energy
+2 Lysandre
+1 Fairy Garden
+1 Evosoda

These suggestions I have deck tested with a lot and personally like, and even though people don't like M Diancie EX/Diancie EX I think it fits really well in this deck.

Hope this is useful!
