I saw that some honchkrow decks did well at states so I thought up one that I think might be pretty good. Any advice is appreciated.

Pokemon: 20
4 Absol

4 Murkrow
2 Honchkrow
2 Honchkrow X

3 Voltorb
3 Electrode

2 Holon's Castform


Trainers: 29
3 TGW
2 TGM
2 Professor Birch
3 Celios

4 Cess Crystal

3 Pokedex
3 Warp Point
3 Energy Removal 2
4 Plus Power
2 Night Maintenance


Energy: 11
4 DRE
3 Scramble
4 Special Darkness




STRATEGY:
start with absol, murkrow or voltorb. Use absol for stalling, and electrode for large damage when necessary. Cessation crystal to stop claydol, and maximize hand discard effectiveness. Use warp point and energy removal 2 to slow the opponent. Hopefully this will slow them down enough that they cant get much out, and there will be enough attack to remove anything that does make it in play. Idk how popular crystal beach is, but i might consider windstorm if it becomes a problem.

Also, if anyone could give me their opinion of if this would be worthwhile to run at states I'd appreciate it.

Cess kinda shuts off Honchkrow and Electrode, not to sure you'd want to run that...

Yeah, except Honchkrow doesnt use its body when active, so the thought would be to put it on either Absol or Honch. That way Electrode still works, and so do the powered up Murkrow. And Electrode has free retreat so if you start with Voltorb, you could get a t2 Electrode and retreat for a cessed pokemon if necessary. Cess might not be active all the time, but hopefully long enough to take out any claydols.
