Skarmory EX/Greninja

Experience: Veteran

Pokemon - 15

Trainers - 32
  • 4 Professor Juniper
  • 4 N
  • 2 Skyla
  • 1 Shauna
  • 4 Muscle Band
  • 2 Tool Scrapper
  • 2 Professor's Letter - (to guarantee the Water in hand)
  • 2 Switch
  • 3 Rare Candy
  • 1 Super Rod - (to get lost Waters back)
  • 3 Ultra Ball
  • 3 Hypnotoxic Laser
  • 1 Virbank City Gym

Energy - 13
  • 9 Metal
  • 4 Water

Strategy
With Water Shuriken, Muscle Band and LaserBank, Skarmory has an array of ways to hit 170/180, and against the oh-so common Darkrai decks, even Cobalion has a chance at an OHKO.
Klinklang prevents EX damage to Skarmory and Cobalion, which are my main and non-EX attackers respectively, while Greninja sits on the bench and uses Water Shuriken to fuel Tailspin Piledriver.

This list is tight already, but I know I need probably another Switch, maybe a Heavy Ball, and Computer Search, but I'm stuck as to what to remove. All help appreciated, thanks guys.

Take out shauna, add virbank and computer search. Shauna is good, but you don't need it.

Not sure I need 2 Virbank, most people are running it anyway so there's a good chance I won't even get to play my own one.
What would you say to -2 Shauna, +1 Computer Search, +1 Switch?

That would be good... maybe even dowsing?

Not necessary, I don't think I'd need to recycle many of the items at all.
Starting to think about Scramble Switch though, as a sort-of free Max Potion to a new Skarmory, or even Cobalion as they have the same attack cost.

Also making changes:
-1 Energy Retrieval
+1 Super Rod
-1 Shauna
+1 Switch
