This deck shouldn't need help vs Mewtwo I don't think. At worst you're trading 2HKOs, except you're also damaging their bench, and it's hard to 2HKO anything in here. If you're smart about your energy placement, Mewtwo doesn't threaten you.

But to be fair, I haven't had a chance to test against anything that makes much use of Mewtwo.

Are people dead-set on Shaymin being the Terrakion answer? In my testing I've found that you CAN work around Terrakion with aggro Hydreigon, but it's often not enough and they still end up with a positive matchup over you. I don't like Shaymin as a general rule, though (esp. since the deck I'm worried about can possibly OHKO Shaymin EX with its other attacker... as can other decks, I'm sure).

Shaymin has won me many games against an eviolited Terrakion up front sweeping through Darkrais. It's too good to pass up imo. The only trouble is starting with it - you're effectively 2 prizes short from the start if that happens.

I don't like sigiylph in this deck because your opponent can just catcher around it and i think its just a waste of space.

You might not now, but if you run into a quad TerrakionEX you'll wish you had one.
If a quad TerrakionEX can hit even 1 tool scrapper, it will be game over for you faster than you can imagine. At least with Sigilyph you force them to use a catcher every turn... otherwise they only have to use it once (if at all) to get around Shaymin.
 
I know this is off topic, but I am like %70 sure thepliskins5005=renfield89. Renfield89 has thanked plisguy on ALMOST EVERY POST.

Okay guys. Shaymin is good. Sigilyph is good. Trash Claw is not good. Get over yourselves.

Well I don't even run any tools and i already have shaymin ex for that and something else.
 
My only change would be

-2 Max Potion
+1 Sigilyph
+1 Tool Scrapper (Against Garbodors and Altarias)

I noticed that Sigilyph is also not on the list?

Sigilyph was saved me countless number of times against different decks

(This is assuming your opponent used all of their catchers)

-Rayquaza ex
-Kyurem ex
-Ho-oh ex
-Terrakion ex
-Darkrai ex (though it does 30 to the bench)
-Mewtwo ex
-Zekrom ex
-Entei ex

Hydreigon/Darkrai wins against Garchomp/Altaria most of the time. It's like 70/30 in my testing. Adding in a 4th Max Potion makes this matchup a near autowin.

This is very interesting. I've found that I'm winning the Hydreigon-Darkrai matchup 75%+ of the time when I play my Garchomp deck. Given I can setup faster, need less energy to inflict 100+ damage, and can easily 1hko the Hydreigons (or better the Deino and Zweilous before they become Hydreigons) for less energy makes this deck formidable. And the 4 Max Potions I run help alot too.
