I really like this deck. I don't think there's really anything that I would change. Can you please let us know how well the deck does? I am curious to see how it holds up because I would also like to run a Darkrai deck at some point because it just seems like a fun deck to run.

I don't know how much disruption you want to do outside of Darkrai Lv. X but some Wagers might be nice to throw in to mess with opponents. I just don't know what you would take out to put them in, but then again it might just slow the deck down more if you lose the rock, paper, scissors.

Also on a side note you're playing one of my favorite cards from the new set, Jigglypuff. I love the new Jigglypuff card because of its artwork. It has those cute evil eyes of death and destruction. It looks like its sitting there peacefully, waiting for its next victim.

Totally agree about the Jigglypuff. I go to league on Sundays so I'll put Match-ups probably on Monday

You've got a pretty powerful decklist there. In testing, I find there's less energy than i'd like. Sometimes there's a drought. Your windstorms help with Cess crystals, no doubt, but I'd drop a Sidney's for another energy. One thing I find also is that quick ball is too random for me. Is there any way you can incorporate the fishing engine to some degree instead?

EDIT: Forget about the fishing engine, I think I can offer something better. See below.

Here's an idea. A bit off the wall, but doable. Hopefully it'll speed up the deck a bit too:

-1 Natu
-1 Xatu
-4 Quick Balls
-2 Great Balls
-1 Sidney

+3 Porygon
+3 Porygon 2
+2 Mr Stone's
+1 Scott

Seeing that you only use Wiggly for the power, you could probably even drop one of those for a second Scott. That way the deck gets speedier, you don't add any energies, but you get the benefit of more, and you tighten up on pokemon instead of having 1 of something which can be prized (other than the Lv X of course).

EDIT: So at the end of it all you'd end up with 21 pokemon - none of which would be stage 2's, so that's good, 25 trainers - 14 of which would be supporters that can be readily used by Porygon 2, and your energies remain at 14. I think you'd outspeed other setup decks - like G&G which would probably be your biggest challenge.

Ya I'll have to try it this way to. It looks interesting

After I go to league this Sunday I'll post the match-ups and its record with the Porygon 2 list

with sidneys stadium on the field it makes ur pokemon not able 2 go 2 sleep etc, so u use it as a sleep sniper from bench wiggy doesnt have 2 be active, so u use darkrai 2 come in for massive damage....
 
Ok, next thing .... I find that switches aren't used that much. And it's tough to get set up fast enough, so I'd eliminate both the switches for Mentors.
 
Here's what I'm thinking . . .

Drop 1 - 1 of Porygon2, add 1-1 Illumise/Volbeat. I haven't tried the combo much but maybe you can.

Take out both Mr. Stones for 2 more Basic Dark.

Take out Darkrai Lv X for Dark Armed Dragon. You take a prize if you remove a dark monster from play to destroy one of theirs. This IS a dark deck, right? Such a broken card.
