Darkrai\Hydreigon Deck Help

[Rayquazza]

Hello, today I'm posting the :darkarkrai\Hydreigon:dark: deck I've been working on. I haven't played with this deck yet, but even so it seems like it could use some help. Here's the list:

3 Darkrai EX
3 Sableye
3-2-3 Hydreigon (Dark Trance)

14 Pokemon

4 N
4 Skyla
4 Prof. Juniper
4 Dark Patch
4 Dark Claw
1 Bicycle
3 Rare Candy
3 Max Potion
3 Pkmn Catcher
1 Computer Search
4 Ultra Ball

35 Trainers\Supporters

9 Dark Energy
2 Blend

11 Energy

My strategy is to get Hydreigon within T5 and get Darkrai EX in play, that way if 1 Darkrai EX gets to much damage on him I can Dark Trance and Retreat. My ideal start would probably be 1-2 Sableye, 1 Darkrai EX, and 1 Deino. Also I would like to know which Deino is best. Thanks for takng time to look at this.
All helpful suggestions or comments are welcome.

Hi, it's me again. Anyways here is a list that might work for you:

Darkrai Ex x 3
Hydregion (Dark trance) x 3
Zweilous x 1
Deino x 3
Shaymin Ex x 2 (Blastoise/Keldeo just rampages right though this deck without Shaymin.)
Sableye x 3

Pokemon: 15

N x 4
Juniper x 3
Skyla x 4
Bianca x 2
Pokemon Catcher x 3
Computer Search x 1
Rare Candy x 3
Dark Patch x 4
Max Potion x 3
Ultra Ball x 3 (3 is enough as you'll get most of the cards you want through N and Juniper.)

T/S/ST: 32

Dark Energy x 9
Blend Energy x 4

Energy: 13

Try this list. I've used it many times and it works fairly well and this will help get out Hydregion T2 or T3, much faster than you expected. Your ideal start will probably never happen as getting 4 Pokemon in a deck like this is very difficult. The ideal start for this deck would be a Deino/Sableye, a Darkrai Ex and a draw supporter like N or Juniper. This start is quite easy to get and is more likely to happen. The best Deino would have to Deino 93/124 Dragons Exalted as that is dragon and dragons are very uncommon so it's unlikely to be donked T1 or T2 and it can actually defend itself for one dark energy. I hope this helps!

I would recommend either a Sigilyph or Mewtwo EX for dealing with opposing Mewtwo EX as well as a Keldeo EX. Keldeo EX is excellent for dealing with status conditions as well as 2-hitting Landorus EX without any real risk of retaliation.

I really don't like Shaymin EX in this deck. Starting with it is a nightmare, and its low HP is a major weakness. Yeah, if your opponent has taken 2 prizes you can start knocking out their Keldeo, but all they need is another one to one shot you back, and take one of your blend energy off the field. I prefer Mewtwo EX for dealing with Keldeo (I ran 2 Mewtwo in the version of this deck I used to win a city championship) as it can deal with high energy Keldeo that are one shotting stuff, but is versatile enough to be useful in other situations too. IMO you should probably reduce the dark claw line for the Mewtwo.

I also don't think any Zweilous are necessary. Nobody really runs Gothitelle anymore. Throw in a fourth rare candy and an additional Deino instead.

As for your supporter line, I don't think 4 Skyla are necessary. I'd cut that to about 2 or 3. You should try out Colress, as you tend to fill out your bench when you're trying to get up a Hydreigon. Also consider random receiver. You can get it back with junk hunt to escape top deck mode after a bad N or a supporter drought.

I also think you want to change some of those darkness energy into additional blend energy. Hydreigon has a powerful attack that requires it, and if you go the Mewtwo or Shaymin route, they both use blends as well. Psydrive is a very underrated attack.
