Alright, now i should mention that Yveltal is by far my favorite pokemon and for the last two years or so i played an Yveltal/Garbodor variant that i enjoyed immensly. I took it to the Anaheim regionals last year and did so so, considering that i did have trouble with mega gardeviour at the time. I was saddened to see that half the deck was gone when the new standard rotation rolled around, so i shelfed it in hopes that someday it could come back. I didnt think much of it and moved onto another deck, Greninja, but with all the bricking it has a tendency to do and the whole controversy with Michael Long, i thought id dust off the old Yveltal and try pairing it with a pokemon that seems to be doing well at many Regionals and league cups- Silvally. Silvally Gx can hit many different types depending on which memory disc you have attached, making it quite versatile against many of the meta decks out there. For instance with a psychic memory you hit many of theose pesky Espeon Gx decks, Drampa/Garbodor decks, Drampa/Mewtwo Gx decks, Buzzwole Gx variants etc. and with fighting memory, those zoroark gx variants, other Silvally GX variants, etc.
Now the other cards may seem strange but let me explain: Sudowoodo is to help shorten your opponents bench so they’re forced to over extend just to be able to one shot you. Espeon Ex is de evolve opposing evolved pokemon, making it easier to get K.O.’s. Mr. Mime is there so you dont have to worry about bench snipe.
You have a few options when it comes to using a GX attack: Necrozoma’s can soften up your opponents pokemon, so you dont have to work as hard to get those K.O.’s, Silvally’s Rebel Gx to take that last prize card or to even just take one, Drampa’s to refresh your hand. To be honest, i thought about running a 2-2 line of zoroark to help with draw power and to have another attacker in case it was needed, but im kinda having trouble deciding where to put him. (If i did include him i might drop the Necrozoma, Drampa and Mr. Mime).
The Trainer list I modified off a Silvally box list and, for the most part, I think are pretty much standard in many Silvally variants, except for the 4 Guzma’s. Another stadium Ive considered using is Parallel City which does the same thing as Sudowodo but takes away one more spot from your opponents bench.

So in conclusion, this is my idea. Any thoughts or comments on making this deck even better would be greatly appreciated!
