Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym
So I'm just getting into competitive Pokemon TCG and I'm thinking I wanna build this as my first competitive deck. I was wondering if you guys could tell me what set the Darkrai/Sableye/Absol come from and if you think they will cycle out during the next cycle? Thanks for the help

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym
Darkrai and Sableye are from Dark Explorers, and Absol is in Plasma Freeze. Alternatively, you can get Darkrai as a Promo card in the 2012 EX collectors tins. I think it is very unlikely that Darkrai and Sableye will rotate out next format. The most likely rotations are Black & White-On (the one we have right now), Next Destinies-On and Dark Explorers-On - non of which rotate out Darkrai or Sableye.
There's a slight chance that it will be Dragons Exalted-On, but that would be 5 sets they're rotating out, and they rotated 5 out last year, too. So we'll only have 5 sets at the start of the year, and 8 during the last stretch of the year. Definitely not enough.
Now, a question I'd like to ask everyone: What do you guys think about Gold Potion in Darkrai? Plasma and Darkrai are 2 of the best decks right now, and both of them are generally pretty weak, so Gold Potion could definitely save you a hit from either of the decks. Thoughts?

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym
All opinion, no facts here. The 2012 tins wouldn't have anything to do with it, they would just rotate it out from a promo on. So the promo rayquaza would still be viable because there would be the real 'quaza from DRX, but not Mewtwo/Darkrai. Of course my thoughts are no different form his, just an opinion, but the fact that they have had darkrai at a worlds tournament for 2 years gives me the feeling that they'll rotate him. 3 worlds tournament for a single card is very uncommon.

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym
I'm pretty sure about half the sets are legal for 3 worlds rotations. Black & White is heading into it's third this year, and maybe a fourth next year, if there's no rotation.
And the thing about the tin, I was just telling Gambit where you could get the cards to make the deck, because (I think) that was part of his question.

It gets your active Pokemon out of Poison/Sleep by using Rush In and then Retreating for free thanks to Darkrai EX's Dark Cloak. (so long as you have a Dark Energy attached to it)

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym
To answer you question about Accelgor, 2 Keldeo is becoming more of a staple with the uprising GothGor (or whatever it's called) because yes, you could just Rush In-Retreat to negate paralysis, but what if they catcher up your Keldeo and paralyze that? That's where the second one comes in handy where it is virually impossible for paralysis to effect you in any way. I've tried other techs like Audino and Ninetales, but this is just more consistent of an option and also gets rid of the prize card situation.

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym
The biggest thing you have to worry about even if you do play two Keldeo, is if they actually have Dusknoir out. If they put enough damage on the field to move to one Keldeo, they can KO it and then you're left with only one left.

What do you guys think of the list I'm currently running? It utilizes both types of hammers and is fairly consistent. It hasn't failed me but once
Pokemon:
3 Darkrai EX
2 Absol
2 Keldeo EX
2 Sableye
Trainers:
1 Dowsing Machine
1 Max Potion
1 Random Receiver
2 Dark Claw
2 Enhanced Hammer
3 Ultra Ball
3 Pokemon Catcher
3 Energy Switch
3 Crushing Hammer
4 Hypnotoxic Laser
4 Dark Patch
1 Colress
3 Bianca
4 Professor Juniper
4 N
2 Virbank City Gym
Energy
10 Dark
I also figured that if others are posting their list, I may as well too
