Tested this deck a few times and I find that there is a problem when you aren't able to OHKO their pokemon. Because of how popular max potion is getting, if you're not ohko'ing pokemon, you're really losing out. Everything in the deck falls victim to Darkrai easily and Large Cloak doesn't do a whole lot right now. It sounded like a fun deck at first, but I think you need to be able to find a way to get a third status consistently in order to make sure you can take those key KOs off of bulky EXs.

Perhaps with the addition of the stadium in BW7 that increases poison damage, or maybe something to inflict burn perhaps? I just don't think that 130 cuts it when there are a lot of big HP pokemon. If you were to only aim for their support, there are plenty of better decks to play that accomplish the same task.

Your right with the not being able to ohko. A good card to tech in is Entei EX for the 3rd status effect.

I don't really see the point of Entei in here. It kind of defeats the purpose of inflicting burn if you're going to end up 2HKO'ing your opponent anyway, might as well not leave yourself vulnerable to two prizes as Empoleon will likely be played more and more in the upcoming format change.

I was thinking of using this deck with a line of scraggy... the one with spit acid. Flippy paralysis but auto burn. and with darkrai decks using less switches then usual, it works pretty freakingly well

The deck works real well with the spit acid scraggy and darkrai ex.

Unless there are a lot of "heavy" retreat cost pokemon, Darkrai isn't needed as much (if you are trying to keep it a low budget deck)

For burn, I just use vulpix if I start with it.

In the case of the Scraggy Build with Darkrai is only used as a hitter and not for the free retreat.
