Ok, so here is my ReshiBoar deck. My current record with it after many play tests is 10-3. So I think this deck is ready for Battle Roads which is coming up this weekend for us here in Michigan. So I'm looking for potential edits that will help me in the long run and what you guys think of this deck list as it is.

Pokémon
Total = 18
• 3 Reshiram [B/W]
• 2-2-2 Emboar {Ability} [B/W]
• 2-2 Ninetales [HGSS/CoL]
• 2-2 Laturn Prime [UL]
• 1 Stantler [UL]

T/S/S
Total = 24
• x3 Pokémon Collector
• x3 Professor Elm's Training Method
• x3 Fisherman
• x3 Professor Juniper
• x2 Interviewer's Questions
• x1 Twins
• x3 Energy Retrieval
• x3 Pokémon Communication
• x3 Rare Candy

Energy
Total = 18
• {R} x13
• {L} x2
• DCE x1
• Rescue x2


Deck Synopsis:
Ok, so like every ReshiBoar deck, the objective is to get Reshiram and Emboar out fast and to load them up as fast as possible. Ninetales is there for Roast Reveal which can potentially help me load up Reshiram, Emboar, and Lanturn. Stanler is there just for Call for Family and I have started with him in at least 7 of the 13 matches I've played with this deck. The Lanturn Prime is in there to tech against BlastGatr and Donphan Prime and be a heavy hitter basically at any part on the match. Lanturn Prime in a ReshiBoar deck is a tank because of Powerful Spark. He can 1 shot Zekroms, Donphans, Blastoise, and Feraligatr.
 
I personally like PONT better than Professor Juniper. You have Pokemon Collector listed twice though I assume you meant to have Pokemon Communication listed instead of one of the Collectors. I would also suggest you take out the DCE for another fire energy, you take out 1 Pignite and 1 Rare Candy for 2 more Interviewers Questions.

So here are my suggestions:

-1 Pignite
-1 Rare Candy
-3 Professor Juniper
-1 DCE

+2 Interviewer's Questions
+3 PONT
+1 Fire Energy
 
-1 Stantler UL
-1 Collector

+1 Dual Ball
+1 Smeargle

Smeargle can go for the Collector, and Dual Ball is much faster than collector.

I agree for the most part. except I'd go more like this:

-1 pignite
-3 professor juniper
-1 DCE

+3 PONT
+1 IQ
+1 Reshiram.

that 4th reshiram helps out a lot, especially without revive.
 
Personally i think PONT os better than Juniper. So i would go like this

-2 Juniper
-1 Twins
-1 Stantler

+2 PONT
+2 Energy Search

I also like energy search because you will pretty much most of the time get an energy, while with a card like interviewer's questions your not guaranteed an energy card. The twins doesn't seem that important because even if you are loosing you will most likely set up in a turn or two, if your not already. But if i were to make ReshiBoar i would put energy search. I hope i helped. =)
 
the only reason for energy search is if the electric energy is needed. otherwise, it would be a horrible card. I guess it could work in this deck, but I ran zekrom in my reshiboar deck with only 2 electric energies and I was able to use zekrom with it's second attack by mid-game without only have IQ for energy searching. with ninetales draw power, you'll get all the cards you need.
 
I think the deck is nice, but there is one thing that isn't correct. Your starters. They should be 3 Smeargle UD/CoL and 1 Cleffa CoL. Smeargle is just too good. It can help you soooooo much. Cleffa is a better version of PONT. With it in the deck, you won't need PONT. It has also the ability to stall AND it's searchable. So you won't be worried about decking out and you will have a free PONT.
