Help with a Gallade 4 deck?

Just got a nice cheap Gallade 4 X off ebay, so i'm thinking of making a kinda-spread deck with it. It would obviously involve Crobat G, but i'm thinking of either using Kingdra Prime or Dusknoir X as well

Benefits of Kingdra - Possible donk, good backup attacker, excellent Pokebody
Downsides - Need to run water energy

Benefits of Dusknoir - Once it's a stadium, very helpful with spread, SF has good attack and Pokebody
Downsides - Having 2 LVx will probably slow the deck a lot, have to knock it out to make it a stadium.

What do you think? Any other alternatives?

A very, very inital pokemon line may look like this:
2-2 Gallade 4
2-1-2 Kingdra Prime
3 Crobat G
2 Uxie

with Poke Turns, a couple of rare candies and various other staples.
 
use lots of seekers poke turns and zapdos i got that deck my self and it works fin but vileplume owns you and the same does spiritomb
 
I believe Zapdos Md is what he is talking about, Coming into play Power that puts a damage counter on all your opponents benched pokemon on a Coin Flip.
 
I think that the spiritomb la is superior to zapdos in this aspect since your opponent's pokemon would most likely be dmged by gallade blade storm alrdy.

Onto the topic,
I tried a gallade/gengar deck before and it seemed alright. The idea is to dmg your opponent's bench with gallade, poke turn it back and promote a gengar sf to snipe the pixies for cheap prizes via shadow room, while building up a second gengar on the back to use compound pain.
 
I think the best way to run Gallade 4 is SP style, because that way you can Power Spray Garchomp C. Otherwise they heal away your well-placed damage counters. Additionally, you're fast and consistent.

A cool card to go with it would be Cresselia Darkrai Legend - one energy and moving around bunches of damage counters.

If not the SP route, I'd add Lunatone SV and Solrock TM to prevent healing (which I'd probably do WITH SP)...
 
Personally, I don't like SP decks, and Gallade is the only SP card i've seriously considered running (except Staraptor X/Crobat as techs) Cost is also a big issue, thanks to being a student without a job :D

Not a big fan of the Zapdos, mainly because of the coin flip...
I've never seen that Spiritomb before, and it's certainly not too bad (not a good starter though :p) I'd already run Psychic energies (just in case), and the Power isn't bad if i've just played Gallade X
I quite like the Gengar idea, i'll have to see how many I have (I know I have the X though).
Lunarock seems like a good idea, but i'm worried about my bench, since i'll probably have an Uxie there too.

Thanks for the ideas :) Any more?
 
I played a Gengar/Gallade 4 deck (I called it Grenade) a while back. It has potential now with the lack of 'Queen and Unown G.

Personally speaking, I'd match it up with Gengar (SF and/or Prime and Lv. X). "Back then", Claydol clogged up decks. Now, I think this deck has some potential, especially with the lack of Unown G, 'Queen and no more Claydol filling up deck spots.
 
Gen/Gal does seem like a good deck, but I'm more after something that uses Gallade as the main attacker, as opposed to a tech. Doesn't have to be super-competative, but fun to play :p
