[Lupercal]

so ive got this thing in the morning (battle road XD) and im trying to make some last minute changes. so heres my list(please be mean!)

thanks!
3-2 donphan prime(CoL phanphy)
3-1-3 machamp prime
2 zekrom

2 PONT
2 sages training
2 team rockets trickery
1 black belt
2 twins
1 ruins of alph
2 elms
4 cheren
2 great ball
2 max potion
2 junk arm
3 rare candy
1 collector
1 energy search
4 communicators

2 DCE
13 fighting.

so what do you think? the general idea is to start with either zekrom or donphan, then set up machamp then go from there. again, please tear it apart, i want to do the best i can!

thnx

[DEL] You only have 59 cards.[/DEL]

My counting skills are questionable, you have 60.
You might want to move the energy search line to its own line instead of being squashed next to the collector line.

-1 energy search
+1 energy exchanger

That's my opinion.

XD i totally missed that, thanks for the catch!
is there anything that might be wrong with the rest of the deck though?

Cut the trickery, Max Potion and max out your Collector and throw in an extra Sage's while you're at it, if you can.
You might not have those cards. If you don't you could put in Cleffa or some Dual Ball. The ability for this deck to set up is...questionable with just 1 Collector.
Also, your Donphan Prime line is not the greatest. I understand you may only have 2 Donphan but a 3-3 is the best way to go. 2 Donphan is just too little since he's the main guy of the deck. Good thing you're running 3 Phanpy though because they can be killed off by Yanmega. But if you can, try and get a 3rd Donphan in. I run 4-4 in my DonChamp Dragons but in my opinion, 3-3 is very important to be able to get Donphan out faster and just annoy your opponent. Everytime I play and see a Donphan I just wanna shoot myself in the foot because it such a pain to take down. 2 Donphan isn't much of a threat at all.
If you only have 2, you'll have to play them as fast and use them as much as possible.

Edit: If you have the cards, you could make these changes:

Take out (-10)
-2 Team Rocket's Trickery
-2 Max Potion
-1 Cheren
-1 Energy Search
-1 Black Belt
-3 Fighting Energy

Add in
+1 Donphan Prime
+3 Pokémon Collector
+1 Sage's Training
+2 Professor Juniper
+3 Catcher OR Reversal (if you have none)

I'm quite worried seeing a Donphan list without a single Catcher or Reversal.
When playing Donphan you HAVE to abuse his speed and power. You do this with Catcher and Reversal.
You may have Machamp for a late attacker, but Donphan should be able to snipe basics before they evolve. A player should NEVER feel safe when the opponent has a Donphan on the field...

the only reason i dont have cathcers in the deck is because i dont have nay, but i know guy that will prolly let me bower them, so it shouldnt be an issue.
