Mew Scoops

Why do you have to scoop? If you can paralock them rendering it a very useless deck in my opinion. They can't hammer or remover your energy under trainer lock or use switch. I plan to try to input something like Roserade or Houndoom for more status.

Edit: I just thought about it and I'm assuming you mean if you start with Relicanth and they are running Durant. You run more than one energy in this deck so you can retreat if needed.

Why? You almost always win if you get set up. Your only problem is chandelure
 
More status could be fun/more annoying for opponent but I guess that would probably mess with consistency.

Once they're paralyzed it can't get much worse. It would only mess up your consistancy. The room would be more useful for things like Absol Prime

Why, you want to set up your field and start attacking ASAP. So, yes, the 2 retreat does matter. Switch can't even be put in because its a trainer lock deck

If this is HGSS-ND he can always run Skyarrow Bridge giving Relicanth a 1 retreat cost
 
That would also make cards like Absol more viable and you most likely won't have to play it every game because a good amount of other hyped decks plan to play Skyarrow Bridge also.
