Alright guys, Hope you like this version of mine!

Edited to coincide with the rules! :D ~Kecleon
 
Ditch Sableye. You don't need it for this deck. Lose another absol for kyurem, its better if you are playing this. Lose the dark and rainbow as well, add blends.
 
+1 Scrapper. Silver Mirror is a total lock on this deck. You need another Scrapper, or ditch Scramble for Dowsing. I feel like you have too much energy.
 
I like the Poké you've listed, especially the Sableye. I too run a PlasmaBox/TDK deck too and have often thought of the advantages of including a Sableye (especially now). I also run Scramble Switch too which I use a lot. The only other comment I'd make right now is that I feel you would benefit from including a Professor's Letter since you are running different Basic energy in your deck.

What is your particular deck strategy? I would first like to know that before commenting further.
 
yeah I added a letter for the tourney i played in yesterday, i do feel the Kyurems and absols don't work well together
 
I run both in my deck and found both Kyurem and Absol to be great attackers, but used in different situations. Both can inflict 100+ damage, given the right circumstances which is great. And I really like Kyurem's bench sniping capability. Should you decide to only include just 1 of those Poké, you'll open up some interesting options for yourself. On the other hand, you may be taking away some important options. So, do consider your area's metagame and your upcoming State tournaments where games can get a little more intense.
 
i feel that if i went with 1 or the other would be better, cause the speed and use of both slow me down, i think i need to run 3 kyurem and take out the absols
 
-1 Sableye
-3 Catcher
-1 Dark
-2 Absol
-2 Shauna
-1 Lugia
-1 Team Plasma Ball
-1 Switch

+1 Genesect EX
+1 Escape Rope
+1 Kyurem
+1 N
+2 Shadow Triad
+2 Hypnotoxic Laser
+1 Snorlax
+2 Float Stone
+1 Ultra Ball

Ok, lots of stuff here. Genesect is better than Catcher, and Escape rope is also better than catcher. Absol and Sableye aren't really neccesary, and 2 Lugia seems a bit much for me, considering that this deck doesn't seem too Lugia based. Lasers are nice to add a bit more damage, works well against Darkrai decks that run Virbank, not only are they recyclable with shadow triad, but they combo well with snorlax, which we added because he has a great ability and is extremely powerful. Another Kyurem here because he's a main attacker and can put damage on the board. Ultra ball combos well with bicycle and Thunderus. Float stones are good to keep your Pokemon moving around, lets you stream those blizzard burns and whatnot.

You don't have to take out the second Lugia, it's just that you'll only need 1 in a match.

Shauna and Colress are fairly interchanagble, you could go1-1 on those guys if you wanted.

You don't neccesarily need 2 shadow triad; 1 could work perfectly fine. However, it's nice to be able to get back frozen city and lasers, plasma energy for genesect, extra snorlax, ect. It's a useful card.

Consider taking out Bicycle for any of the cards above; plasma doesn't usually end up on super small hands, and 2 Bicycle isn't really consistent. However, they can still be useful. Perhaps only one, so it can be searched by skyla. Speaking of, skyla count is a bit low.

That rainbow energy could be anothe another water or lightning to avoid enhanced hammer spam.

An Absol could definitely stay; he's a good attacker in the mirror match up and can still be useful to you with his low attack costs. If him and genesect are both around, consider the GFPD blend- just some food for thought.

If your Pokemon line has Absol, snorlax and genesect in it, consider dropping a Thunderus or Deoxys; they'll just take up space if they only sit there in your hand.

That's my input, hope it helps ya.
