Groudon EX – Fighting – HP180
Basic Pokemon

[F][C] Trample: 20 damage. This attack also does 10 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance when damaging the Bench.)
[F][F][C] Giant Claw: 80 damage. At the time of dealing damage, if the opponent’s Active Pokemon already has 2 or more damage counters on it, this attack does an additional 40 damage.

Pokemon EX Rule: When Pokemon EX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Weakness: Water (x2)
Resistance: Lightning (-20)
Retreat: 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXP Share – Trainer’s Goods

Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to one of your Pokemon to use it. You can only attach 1 card to 1 Pokemon, and it remains attached.

When your Active Pokemon is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent’s Pokemon’s attack, choose 1 Basic Energy attached to that Pokemon and move it to the Pokemon that this card is attached to.

You can use any number of Goods cards during your turn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darkrai EX - Darkness – HP180
Basic Pokemon

Ability: Darkness Cloak
As long as this Pokemon is in play, all of your Pokemon with any Darkness Energy attached to them have no Retreat cost.

[D][D][C] Night Spear: 90 damage. Choose 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon, and this attack also does 30 damage to that Pokemon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance when damaging the Bench.)

Pokemon-EX Rule: When Pokemon-EX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ultra Ball – Trainer’s Goods

This card can’t be used unless you discard 2 cards from your hand.

Choose 1 Pokemon card from your deck, show it to your opponent, and put it in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

You can use any number of Goods cards during your turn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Battle City – Stadium

You can play a Stadium next to your Active Pokemon once during your turn. If a Stadium with a different name comes into play, discard this card.

Once during each player’s turn, that player may flip a coin. If heads, that player draws a card.

Strategy:
Setup Vileplume to slow oponent setup and block these crappy Catchers. Groudon is main attacker, using Trample to spread dmg and eventually Giant Claw. With Eviolite it have -40 dmg from electric attacks, which are really popular. Darkrai provide free retreat for Groudons, so I can switch between them and Seeker them. Terrakion is secondary attacker and revenge killer.

EXP. Share and Eviolite helps with energy and HP, Stadiums block Skyarrow Bridge and Pokecenter (which heal bench...).

Energy are standard. Prism provide as Darkness, so Darkrai Ability works.

In my area Mewtwo EX won't be popular (for sure). So please, don't write something like "put 2 mewtwos and DCE, so u can beat opp metwos"

Thanks for advice!
 
1. You probably know, but Groudon and Darkrai are a long ways off being released. So it's kind of hard to give any help for the deck because there's no general idea of what are the decks to beat in the months to come.

2. I'm not sure why you went ultra ball over communication, seems like you run enough pokes for Comm to be fine, and without a reliable hand refill, ultra ball can screw you over early on and force bad discards.

3. Also 4 tools with Vileplume seems weird, especially if your strategy involves Seekering up damaged Groudons. At most you'll probably get 2 tools into play before Vileplume hits the field, and if you want to play trainer lock as efficient as possible, you don't want to delay Vileplume.

4. You really don't have an answer for Kyurem at all. After 1 glaciate, anything you attack with into him will be in outrage KO range. If Kyurem isn't played around you then you can ignore this, but this doesn't really seem to have an easy solution other than a Cobalion or something.
