Wanted to post a deck I have been playing for fun. I like the pressure it places upon my opponent when the damage keeps piling up and heads keeps coming up.

Pokemon: 18
  • 4 Noibat FF
  • 3 Noivern FF
  • 4 Zubat PHF
  • 4 Golbat PHF
  • 2 Crobat PHF
  • 1 Shaymin EX ROS
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 30
  • 4 Professor Sycamore
  • 3 Professor Birch's Observations
  • 2 Shauna
  • 2 Winona
  • 1 Wally
  • 2 Teammates
  • 2 AZ
  • 2 Super Scoop Up
  • 2 VS Seeker
  • 1 Switch
  • 4 Level Ball
  • 3 Ultra Ball
  • 1 Dimension Valley
  • 1 Sacred Ash
Energy: 12
  • 4 Double Dragon Energy
  • 4 Psychic Energy
  • 4 Dark Energy
Strategy:

Setup a Noivern to spread the field with 30 damage. Target opponents key pokemon with the bats utilizing Scoop and AZ for extra bat damage. If you manage to flip a few heads you will soon have 90 damage on the field. Winona helps in setting up and gets a shaymin out for extra draw power. Running no Lysandre as all my damage is targeted. This deck can stand up against item lock. Teammates is a life saver as it can get the double dragon and another card.

Concerns:

Playing only 1 stadium, and high none draw supporter count. Too much energy?

Ideas:

Dropping the switch as everyone has 1 retreat cost or less and adding another shaymin for consistency or another stadium.

Dropping 2 Shaunas for Tierno

Noivern can be pretty difficult to work with but it's cool to see you try.

Personally I would change out the Bats for Yveltals to accelerate Darks, which would let you get a Noivern going with solely Basic Energy at a fast pace so you can damage the opponent if they run Aegislash EX. Adding a few extra Dark to compensate would help in this.

If keeping the build as it stands, you really have to rely on Echolocation heads and DDE in order to survive and get much damage out. As for the Stadium issue you listed, since Noivern should really be the only thing attacking, Dimension Valley doesn't matter too much so it isn't really a problem.

As for Supporters, I would prefer Shauna over Tierno in your suggestions, and whether Winona is actually needed is up to you. More Shaymin would be excellent obviously, and if you really want more Stadiums I would consider Sky Fields over Dimension Valley as it lets you get as many Noivern and Bats set up at the same time as you can. If the opponent changes out the Stadium when Sky Field is up and you have full bench, just discard the Shaymin and the Bats then Sacred Ash them back into the deck for more uses later on.
 
Would you consider jolteon from ancient origins when it comes out? Coupled with wide lens you end up dealing 60 dmg to shaymins per turn, everyone plays shaymins.

I tested tierno, shauna or prof birch is better, or in your case 2 more VS seeker.
