Nice Deck, Here are a few tips

Dude. Nice deck.
I suggest dropping 1 or maybe 2 Spirittomb
+ 1 Crobat G
+1 Lucario Gl or Lake Boundary.

True. I just think that It's unecessary to have a t1 power lock when you have tomb

Spiritomb slows down your opponent's setup, just not as slow as a power lock does. I like Mesprit for the reason that you can keep the power lock on your opponent when you have to use an attack that is not Psychic Lock. Drop Mesprit, OHKO a Pokemon with Gallade, and keep the Psychic Lock going for a longer time.

Thanks so much. That makes a lot of sense. What would you recomend dropping for 1 or 2 mesprit. Would super scoop ups be necessary?
 
Maybe find room for Azelf X, removes your weakness and can be a helpful sniper if playing against an energy heavy deck
 
I have tested with this deck and I would:

-1 bebes ( 3 works fine )
-3 pokedex
-1 chatot

+1 ralts PT
+1 gardivoir SW
+1 kirlia SW
+1 psychic energy
+1 premier ball

Hope this helps!

I can pm you my list if you want me to.
 
Dialga master- First off, I would love to see your list as I havent had much to compare this one to. As for your suggestions, I could agree with everything except the chatot. It is absolutly key. And it is important to start with tomb which is why I only play 3 ralts.

I was thinking...

-3 pokedex
-1 bebe

+2 Mesprit
+2 Super scoop up
 
explain your reasoning for running poke drawers.
if you are running 4 tombs, might as well run at least 1 upper
if you are running DCE, why not running a 2-1 Uxie X line? its a solid 1 for 60(excluding weakness)

scoops are not needed, imo. once this deck sets up nice, its hard to stop it.
 
Ozymandias- Poke drawers? why not? get my candies, expert belts, etc. As for scoops, I would play 2 mesprit/2 scoop for mainting the power lock while using gallade. Plus, it's good for really early game when you have a tomb. Trainer and power lock will stop them dead in their tracks. I don't want to play a mesprit and then have it be dead weight for the rest of the game.

I disagree. I would take out a Roseanne's instead of a Bebe's. Roseanne's is usually the first supporter your opponent will play, giving you access to it the entire game. In addition, pretty much every deck runs Roseanne's, while SP decks might not give you access to Bebe's. You need 4 Bebe's for when your opponent will not play them for you.

I think that a 1-1 line would work well, as Trade Off increases the chance that you will draw into DCEs. However, only one Uxie is needed as Gardevoir can set up fine. The cheap 60 is nice too.

I don't see Poke Drawers helping you out as much as you theoretically believe. I think you will end up 1-1ing them, to which i revert back to the Uxie X suggestion. I think there are better cards out there that can syngergize with this deck better than Poke Drawers.
 
The fact that you have room for PokeDrawer + and Pokedex Handy910is shows that you are not considering a huge number of the many strong cards that boost this deck's power in the format.
 
needs at least a 4/3/3/1/1 Gardy/Gallade line. needs 4 DCE. Drawers and Pokedex are bad drop them. Wager>Looker's

Thats a legit point. what kinds of cards?
Click to expand...

Said that many posts ago.

Cynthia's was suggested,...that's one card that you need.
I also like Professor Oak's Visit in this deck...it works well
I see that you are running only 3 Psychic Energies....that needs to increase.

Honestly, I would turn this deck into a turbo GardeGallade...just because it has worked so well. With that in mind my changes would be:

-2-2 Claydol line
-4 Drawers
-3 Pokedex
-4 Call Energy

+1 Cynthias
+3 Professor Oak's Visit
+2-1 Uxie X line(you run DCE...which gives this a cheap 60 shot and ability to OHKO many pokemon)
+1 Ralts
+1 Gardevior
+1 or 2 Upper(you run spritomb, which allows for easy kills by your opponent, which allows you to maximize Upper Energy)
+5 or 4 Psychic Energy
