Expanded M Tyranitar EX / Forretress / Yveltal

[Team Z-man]

Here is my deck so far. Please help and give me some ideas to optimize.

Pokémon: 15

• 3 Tyranitar EX
• 3 M Tyranitar EX
• 3 Yveltal
• 3 Pineco
• 3 Forretress

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 35

• 4 Professor Sycamore
• 3 VS Seeker
• 3 Professor's Letter
• 2 Switch
• 3 Ultra Ball
• 3 Tyranitar Spirit Link
• 2 Heavy Ball
• 2 Lysandre
• 2 Shadow Circle
• 2 Hard Charm
• 2 N
• 1 Exp. Share
• 1 Professor Birch's Observations
• 1 Shauna
• 1 Hex Maniac
• 1 Teammates
• 1 Xerosic

Energy: 10

• 7 Darkness Energy
• 3 Double Colorless Energy

Strategy:

Sorry just started building decks, and have been playing for 3 months. Our league is playing Expanded B/W to Ancient Origins. So this will not be a standard deck. I use Yveltal and Forretress as my main attackers. Yveltal for the Oblivion energy acceleration from the discard pile, and can take a hit. Forretress for the damage to all opponents damage, to set-up M-Tyranitar's Destroyer King.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ideas:
Shaymin ex: Will come in handy when you have ultra ball and you need to draw more cards
Muscle band instead of Hard Charm: it's not that important but I personally think it could help with pokemon that have lower hit points but it's not that important because hard charm can reduce damage
Battle Compressor instead of Letter: Discard Energy straight from the deck to use Oblivion wing
4th Yvetal: You want to start with it, the end
Mega Turbo: Helps Power up M T-tar.
Run all Dark (Normal) Energies. If you run all normal energies you can always attach from your Discard Pile with Yvetal or Turbo.

Also your current list is not Standard.
What's not Standard:
N, Heavy Ball

It was described as an expanded deck at the start, I think...

My suggestions if so:

• Dark Patches can be really useful to power up M-Tyranitar-EX.
• A Darkrai-EX will make retreating so much easier.
• 1 Colress can help for drawing in the endgame.
• Maybe Tech in a Yveltal-EX as a backup attacker.
• Battle compressors work very well with this deck, and it has synergy with Yveltal and Dark Patch.
• For an Ace Spec, a Scramble Switch can really help you swap M Tyranitars out and spare energy at the same time.

How you wish to alter your deck with these suggestions is up to you. I hope this helps!

Sorry, I should have clarified. It is expanded, but for standard I would use Shauna or Birch. Not sure with heavy ball, maybe another Ultra Ball and Pokemon Fan Club.

Shaymin ex: Although the draw is nice I am not sure what to drop? Also easy Lysandre to grab 2 prize cards.
Muscle Band: You made the point there, no need. Hard Charm makes it a monster to take down, and Exp. Share helps with energy.
Battle Compressor: Maybe drop Letter, and use a compressor, but I have found I drop a couple energies when I Sycamore. Good idea to test!
4th Yveltal: What would I drop? Maybe drop the 3-3 Forretress line, add Yveltal, add Compressor x2, and throw 3 more Trainers/Absol combination?
Mega Turbo: What trainer do I drop, and I drop a couple of energies when I Sycamore.
Run all Dark: Yep, no dangerous energy is running in this deck.

It is not the fastest deck, but I thought it was methodical.

Battle Compressor is a really good suggestion. Thank you so much!

I like that idea. Darkrai-EX for the retreat and drop the switches. What would you drop for the Dark Patches?
Scramble switch. Great suggestion!

 

[Lanstar]

I'd drop two or three professor's letters for two or three Dark patches. I'd cut out the Shauna for a Colress, and cut an Ultra ball and a Lysandre for 2 Compressors. Maybe cut the Exp share for another compressor/patch, and if you wished to put in Yveltal-EX, dropping one of the M Tyranitars won't hurt your deck too much.

You should consider an AZ so that you can reuse Forretress. Regardless of the fact that everyone on your opponent's field will get damage, they can still bench something and fight with that. With AZ, at least you have the option to reuse Forretress to at least mitigate this.
