IF anyone saw me use this deck at nj gyms, u probably know what this deck is, for those who don't (which are the majority) Here it is:

Pokemon:24
2 Drowsee (Disable/ Headbutt)
2 Drowsee (Soothing wave)
2 Hypno FRLG (Eerie aura)
2 Hypno DS (Binding aura)
4 Makuhita DX
4 Hariyama DS
4 Dunsparse Lm
2 Root Fossil
2 Claw Fossil

Trainers: 21
4 Balloon Berry
1 Mentor
1 Holon Lass
2 Holon Farmer
4 Fieldworker
2 Power Tree
2 Mr. Stones Project
2 PETM
2 Great Ball
2 Cursed Stone

Energy: 14
7 Psychic
7 Fighting

Strategy: Get out an active eerie aura hypno and a benched binding aura hypno and a hariyama. USe it's attack hynotic ray for 20 dmg and auto-sleep. If they get tails on Sleep check, they put on 2 damage counters, and they can't do anything b/c binding aura prevents them from evolving and attaching energy to an asleep active pokemon. After that, if they do wake up, evolve, and knock you out, send out your hariyama, it's body "Reversal Aura" kicks in, if you are up in prizes, it's attacks do 20 more dmg, and it takes 20 less dmg, then you're using a 50+20 dmg attack that isn't afficted by resistance. Give any helpful suggestions, i came up with this deck in may and playing it with the Ds sandslash for double cursed stonage. This deck is pretty consistant, don't expect any, I mean ANY mulligans.

I am so building this deck right now.
I will give you my fixes after I play a few games with it. So expect a reply within 2 hours on this.
 
Ok, but I do not know how this deck works from top to bottom.
So I need to play some games with the deck to figure out how it works.
So that it why.
 
ok I went 4-2. pretty good

I changed Sparce to Misdreavous
and Fieldworker to Mary's Request and I made the 2 power tree to 2 more cursed stone
 
misdrevius only really works in a 2vs2 game
i used this deck at nj gyms and went 2-2 (against flairiados with espeon) i love the deck and am good at using it
 
Both Hypno work on the bench, so just leave them there and attack with Midreavus. IMHO you don't even need hariyama.
 
Oh, my bad. Well I probly Wouldn't even play the RG one then. It really has no good attacks IMO,
but i really think you should try it with Midreavus then, It basicly pevents your oponent from doing anything at all.
Btw I really think this deck has some potential, now if we can just get the E4 to play it, Lol.
 
Yea, i think u should go with the midreavus. It will mess up any1's deck no matter how good it is, It will stop them from evolving them, putting energys,and even attacking since its hard to get 2 heads in a row (trust me on this, i'v dealt with it many time....no luck X D)
 
misdreavus is poo. u r expecting a 50 hp dork to lock the game when the opponent only has to flip 2 heads to wake up and kill it? on top of that, u have to give up ur energy attachment every turn to keep them in the sleep lock. and it's not like they can't possibly build their bench behind the lock since even if they do stay asleep, ur only doing 30/turn to them. BAAAAAAAAAD. no.

at least the DS hariyama has something going for it, attacking for 70 when down on prizes (probably happens a lot), and the RG hypno puts on pseudo-burn and guaranteed sleep w/o losing card advantage.

in fact, i bet RG marowak would be pretty nice in that slot as well...it's not instantly as effective as hariyama, but has more l8-game oomph, and can sport an energy root unlike 'yama...just food for thought.
 
As long as Misdreavus is your Active Pokémon, each player flips 2 coins for his or her Pokémon that is Asleep between turns. If either coin is tails, that Pokémon is still Asleep.
