Hello! I plan on running this deck for States, I just want to know if I should make any tweaks to it.

Pokémon- 9
4 Darkrai-EX
3 Sableye DEX
1 Keldeo-EX
1 Mewtwo-EX

T/S/S- 40
1 Computer Search
4 Hypnotoxic Laser
4 Energy Switch
4 Dark Patch
4 Pokémon Catcher
3 Dark Claw
3 Ultra Ball
1 Max Potion
1 Random Receiver
4 Professor Juniper
4 N
2 Colress
3 Skyla
2 Virbank City Gym

Energy- 11
11 Basic Dark

What do you guys think of my list? I would like to run a Pluspower, any thoughts on that?

My thoughts looks pretty solid you won't have to worry bout opposing lazers if ur not asleep since u can retreat for free or rush in. I think mewtwo might need a dce since dark patch only works on dark pokemon on the bench so that means u have to waste an energy switch and an energy for the turn to use him. But looks really solid nice deck list. Good luck at states. Also have you thought about hammers? Sableye and hammers are a good. Combo.
 
Yeah, I did think of Hammers, but I decided to go with Lasers instead. They help me OHKO stuff.

The Mewtwo is really only meant to be dropped if your opponent gets a Mewtwo or a Keldeo that can OHKO your Darkrais, it isn't actually used very often.
 
I thought that would be the case with mewtwo. I do think however that maybe 2 hammers - dark claw and something else could save ur butt or a turn or two from landorus or terrakion nvi ohkoing your main attackers since keldeo will take a while to set up in response. But if your content with your list then I think it looks really solid good list what states are you attending?

That is also why I'm using lazers in my landy deck to ko instead of plus powers they are just plus powers but way better even if the sleep dosnt stick or they switch out next turn then its just a plus power but u still. Did extra damage that can help you later in the game can you check my list.
Landy/terrakion/mewtwo ex I like second oppinions they help out a lot sometimes.
 
Virginia and possibly Maryland. There aren't really many Landorus, mostly tons of Darkrai and Keldeo. Otherwise, I would probably run Hammers.
 
I have never played a darkrai deck but that is a lot of energy
Try this
- 1 :dark:
+ 1 energy search
Reason
Sab can reuse it if it ever needs energy
 
How does this deck deal with Klinklang? You're completely shut down by the Body on Klinklang, while he throws Cobalions at you for free. Hypnotoxic just doesn't seem solid enough to melt down Cobalion from 180 before he backs out to another or potentially Scramble Switches to a fresh Cob. Just curious, seems like you'd need a solid Non-EX attacker to help with the Klinklang match-up. Of course he may not be very popular in your area as well. Just a thought
 
I'm going to the arkansas states in hot springs I think most people there will be running either. Darkrai, keldeo/blastoise, or landorus tornadus.
But I wouldn't be suprised to see kingklang over here as well its really hard to. Deal with if they get setup fast enough. I like the enrgy search in there
Seems like a decent idea then you could add a terrakion nvi retaliate and 1 fighting as a decent non ex pokemon. Or something else plus the enrgy they require to search for it when in need.

You Catcher Klingklang, HTL/Virbank, Dark Claw Sableye, hit it for 30+30 from poison and hope they don't have a Switch or hope that you have another Catcher. Not to mention, it isn't very popular in VA.

I thought about it, but I think just sticking with Sableye/Dark Claw/HTL/Virbank is the best bet.

I four Darkrai is exteremely good, it has saved me several games. I really like having four. I don't really feel safe without Mewtwo, otherwise I have no answer for a 7 energy Keldeo/Mewtwo. I did make the other changes, though.
