Strategy:
I've been competitive TCG playing for about 8 months now, and have gotten pretty good at doing this thing where I see a good combo used/talked about and then making my own improvements to suit my play style. Now I felt like trying my hand at a rogue/counter deck from scratch.The strategy here is to counter the things that are most common in my meta. I'm a Senior so there are mostly somewhat cheap decks like Plasma and Pyroar. There's also some Virizion/Genesect and those few people that have Landorus decks. I'm haven't seen anyone else still playing Darkness so the build was a little easier.
Against Pyroar: VirizionEX is a good start just to power up some Abomasnow until it dies or something. Then just keep using Razor Leaf until all the Pyroar are gone. I chose Abomasnow over Beartic because of the cheaper Retreat cost, and it is not a variable that can be shut down by Float Stones.
Against Plasma: Set up Trevenant with Silver Mirror, then power up a couple backup attackers in case of Lysandre.
Against Vir/Gen: Start with VirizionEX and power up the two Ninetails. Once those two are gone, another VirizionEX should go active and Sacred Ash can get Ninetails back. Trevenant can stall if needed. It's a good idea to put Float Stones on your Ninetails if the opponent is playing Beartic.
Against Landorus: Start with VirizionEX and power up Abomasnow and/or MewtwoEX. Virizion handles SeismitoadEX, Mewtwo handles LucarioEX, and Abomasnow can take care of LandorusEX with the Bang Heads attack.
So the main attacker is probably Abomasnow, because with the second attack + Muscle Band, it can 2HKO anything but Megas while making the Defending Pokemon Confused. Provided your opponent has no Garbotoxin active, Abomasnow won't get confused since it has Grass energy attached with VirizionEX in play. Please tell me what you think about the list. Just a side note; I haven't actually tested this yet.
