Hey guys, this is a build based on an old idea I had about exploiting Sinister Hand as much as possible with tons of bench damage.

The idea is to keep dropping 30s on the bench and use that damage to knock out key pokemon in the opponents strategy.

3x Noibat FUF
3x Noivern FUF
3x Darkrai EX
2x Duskull FLF
1x Dusclops FLF
2x Dusknoir BC
2x Deino DEX94
1x Zweilous DEX96
2x Hydreigon DEX 97

4x Level ball
2x Heavy ball
2x Lysandre
4x N
3x Professor Sycamore ('Cause I'm not one to be part of the crowd :'P)
2x Dark patch
2x Colress
2x Professors letter
3x Rare candy
2x Ultra ball

9x Dark energy
6x Psychic energy

I'm very worried about the consistency here thanks to the hydreigon which I'm open to reducing/cutting and the dusknoir line which I'm open to reducing but not cutting. The ball count also seems high but there are 19 pokemon. I'm also not sure on an ace spec. Any ideas on any of these issues or any other matters would be appreciated.

I also checked my math but I still may have messed up somewhere.
Format is not much of a concern for me.

Thanks in advance.
 
You never really explained what problem your having with it, sometimes equal numbers or cards can throw off the deck if you have to many of them.

Keep in mind that both Noivern and Darkrai EX inflict damage (not damage counter drops) unto opponent's benched Poké; so, either Mr. Mime's Bench Barrier Ability or Mountain Ring Stadium prevents that damage.

Also, several of the cards in your list have rotated out; so, you might want to consider some replacements for your Dark Patch, Level Ball and Heavy Ball. Maybe Pokémon Fan Club and maxing your Ultra Ball count.

Should you intend to play this deck in the Extended Format play, then you might want to incorporate Junk Hunting Sableye and still max out your Dark Patch and Ultra Ball.

Have you considered use of Chandelure EX over something? It can drop 4 damage counters in any way you like for a single psychic energy and is of course a basic pokemon

Yeah, I probably should have phrased that properly. Also I'm using NV-on for casual play
As for sableye and the dark patches/ultra balls i'll certainly try that out, thanks.

As for chandelure-EX (below, i don't know how to quote twice in a post :/) I hadn't considered it but I think 4 counters is a bit too slow for my liking. Thanks for the idea though.
