Yveltal EX / Darkrai EX

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

What supporters are you running? I am using 4 Juniper, 3 N, 2 Skyla, 2 Bianca and a Colress
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

I run 4 Juniper, 4 N, 4 Skyla, 2 Bianca, and 1 RR. The 4 Skyla is to get the Computer Search + Sableye engine going, and because this deck only really needs a few trainers to get set up so Skyla is more helpful then it is elsewhere. 14-15 Supporters is definitely a must in this deck.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

Sure. This isn't secretive because it's pretty standard and I'm probably not playing this deck for States anyway.

4 Darkrai EX (DE 63)
3 Sableye (DE 62)
1 Keldeo EX (BC 49)

4 Professor Juniper (DE 98)
4 N (NV 101)
2 Bianca (EP 90)
4 Skyla (BC 134)
3 Ultra Ball (DE 102)
4 Dark Patch (DE 93)
4 Pokemon Catcher (EP 95)
1 Computer Search (BC 137)
2 Dark Claw (DE 92)
4 Hypnotoxic Laser (PS 123)
2 Virbank City Gym (PS 126)
4 Energy Switch (BW 94)
1 Tool Scrapper (DR 116)
1 Max Potion (EP 94)

12 Darkness Energy (BW 111)

THIS ISN'T FINAL. If I were to play this at a tournament, I would do a lot more fixing up with it. It's missing some stuff that I want, like a 4th Ultra Ball and a 3rd Dark Claw. The 4 Darkrai EX might look odd, but since Darkrai is literally the only attacker in this deck, prizing one when I only run 3 could end really badly. The Tool Scrapper is only there because of how popular Garbodor was at week 1 States.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

I might try that list out. I am also running 4 Darkrai ex for the same reasons, no worries
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

There should be another attacker besides Darkrai because of Sigilyph/PlasmaKlang.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

Sigilyph is no longer a threat, Sableye/Lasers take good care of him
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

The issue with running non-Darkrai attackers in this deck is that there aren't any viable dark types, so you need to add in different energy types, which can mess with your consistency a bit. Evne if you do that, the only really decent option is Benchtini.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

Yup, and I prefer wearing out enemy Klinklangs with lasers and hammers than ruining consistency. I hate incosistency, so...
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

Benchtini is imo worse than say Moltres in this deck because it runs so few basics so will have trouble filling the bench. I don't use either though.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

It can get a full bench way easier than u think
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

Well I run way too few basics in mine even for a Darkrai deck. I suppose if you're running more it might be better.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

I only run 4 Darkrais, 3 Sableyes and a Keldeo
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

o_0 That's not easy at all to get a full bench, considering that you can only Ultra Ball so many times before running out of a hand, and with that many basics it'd be hard to hit one on a Juniper or N. And even then I'd seriously suggest not running Benchtini, Bouffalant, Terrakion, and a early Darkrai/Landorus work just fine for this deck in order to counter Plasmaklang, and it has a great matchup around the board with Hypnobank.

And at that I'd like to see what you guys think I should do with my deck, Bouffalant or Landorus. I'm really stuck as both of these cards are great early game sweepers, and great late game sweepers, I just don't know what to do here.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

I don't run benchtini, and I don't have problems with Landy and Bouffa. Specially Bouffa. Dark Claw on Darkrai + Lasers, buddy
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

-.- You need to read the post lol. It says you'll have problems without them. Anyways I shouldn't be talking I didn't read the convo :x
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

I was thinking. Isn't Ninetales playable in this deck? Just as a 2-2 line or somthing? It actually has some good "power-ups" for this deck. You can run the blend energies so that Ninetales have free retreat and still can attack, Blend is also the right energy for Darkrai, it can catcher up a Plasmaklang and OHKO it with Hypnolaser, and if it survives you can keep taking prizes on their other Pokemon if you have another Laser in hand. And ofc it also works as another Catcher so you don't have to waste a turn junk hunting for one

Oh and in the mirror match, if you put 30 on a opponents benched darkrai, and they move that 1 up as their active, all you need is Virbank and a heads on laser to KO it with Ninetales (20+50+50+30+30=180).
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

That actually sounds pretty smart. I just don't know how consistently it can take out Plasmaklang, because if you get even one prized, you can only KO a plasmaklang and they normally run 2-3.
 
RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym

It's totally not worth the slots, as the PlasmaKlang Match-up is not that hard
