Reuniclus/Vileplume/Kyurem/Reshiram/Cleffa (first decklist)

So, this is my first decklist on here. I've never used a meta-game deck before, and this is one of my first attempts at something sort of good. I greatly appreciate constructive criticism!

POKEMON: 19
x2 Vileplume UD
x2 Gloom UD
x2 Reuniclus BW-57
x2 Duosion NV-51
Basic: 11
x3 Oddish UD
x3 Solosis BW-55
x2 Kyurem NV
x1 Kyurem EX
x1 Reshiram BW
x1 Zekrom BW
x1 Cleffa CoL

TRAINERS:28
Item:
x2 Pokemon Communication
x3 Rare Candy
x1 Switch
x2 Pokegear 3.0
Supporter:
x2 Seeker
x2 Professor Elm's Training Method
x4 Twins
x4 Pokemon Collector
x4 Sage's Training
x3 Professor Oak's New Theory

ENERGY:13
x5 Water
x4 Rainbow HGSS
x4 Double Colorless HGSS

Strategy: Put out a Kyurem or Reshiram or Cleffa to start, or have a Pokemon Collector in starting hand to get a Solosis and Oddish on the bench right away. Allow Kyurem or Reshiram to get somewhat damaged while I set up Reuniclus and can move damage as I wish to protect/damage them as I see fit. My strategy involves having just enough damage on them to be able to knock out their active Pokemon. I have a minimal amount of trainers, so that after I item-lock with Vileplume (after I have Reuniclus and have used the Rare Candies, if needed), I do not hurt myself, and prevent the opponent from using Pokemon Catchers. This strategy flips if I see they have a durant deck, as then my first priority is getting Vileplume out to prevent revives, then get out a Kyurem to do 30 damage to the durants each turn. Rainbow energy adds damage to Kyurem and Reshiram if needed, and supplies fire energy if needed (although I haven't used his attack in a game, yet). Double colorless energy allows me to immediately use outrage on Kyurem or Reshiram. Seeker allows me to scoop up Vileplume if I placed it incorrectly, or if I accumulate too much damage I can swap it to a Reshiram/Kyurem on the bench and return it to my hand. I sort of need help determining if my other trainers are good complements or not.

Thanks for reading! =)
 
RE: Reuniclus/Vileplume/Kyurem/Reshiram/Pichu/Cleffa (first decklist)

I made some changes to mine but im running something similar:

http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-simply-outrage

The hardest part is getting the getting the trainer lock T2-T3, id add at least 1 more plume. Get rid of the pichus and add a 4th Collector.
 
RE: Reuniclus/Vileplume/Kyurem/Reshiram/Pichu/Cleffa (first decklist)

Thank you! That makes sense, it is kind of counter-productive to run Pichu since it lets my opponent setup as well. And wow, that is very similar to mine! I just wanted to do an item-lock to protect against Durants and be able to use Kyurem as well, and built a deck to surround that idea.

I want to run another Kyurem, but I only have two. :/

Changes:
( - ) x2 Pichu
(+) x1 Pokemon Collector
(+) x1 Rainbow Energy
 
I'd suggest adding more Sage's Training to help get both vileplume and reuniclus to set up faster and to get what you might need. Just 1 zekrom might also be good against tornadus.
 
I'll go with Jirachi on this one.
-2 Professor Juniper
-1 Copycat

+3 Sage's Training

The Junipers waste through the deck too fast and the Copycat is really unnecessary.
 
- Reshiram x1
- prof juniper x2
- copycat x1 ( I had actually already removed it and replaced it with a Sage's Training before I read this! lol)
- pokegear 3.0 x1

+ Zekrom
+ Kyurem EX (because I got one at a pre-release, but I'm not sure if it complements this deck or not)
+ x3 Sage's Training

Are there any cards from Next Destinies that would work well for this deck? I know Prism energy would be good, but I haven't got any of those yet. I'm planning on buying a box once it comes out.
 
I'd also add Regigigas EX and the other exs since they have such high hp and can have a lot of damage on them.
I also don't think it is safe to have
1 kyurem
1 reshiram
1 zekrom.
So exs will be essential.
If there wasn't trainer lock then I would add max potion. Max potion would also be nice to heal damage off of the pokemon that have lots of damage on them. If it weren't for the tight space on the bench I'd put a 1-1 bliss prime, but in this case I think that max potion would work better.
 
^It is trainer lock so Max Potion would become useless after vileplume is out
 
If you needed healing, you could add bellossom from UD which evolves from gloom to heal
 
Yes. Or that. Then you could add 1 oddish, and cut a gloom maybe since you already have rare candy to help set it up, but I guess that vilplume would need to be set up first.
 
Well, you would probably want to set up Vileplume first because you wouldnt want reuniclus/bellossom to get catchered. If you get vileplume out first then rare candy is useless.
 
Okay, I haven't really changed this deck much, but it beats my friends very consistently. What decks out of the metagame do you think this deck would have the most trouble with, and how might I make up for that?

Also, out of the new EX cards I have one Kyurem, one Reshiram, and one Shaymin. Should I add the Reshiram to this deck, and if so what should I take out?
