Ok,I've been looking at decks to use after rotation, and i've been intrigued by sablelock. so tonight i decided to make this list and see what you guys think.

Pokemon (17)
4 Sableye (SF)
2 Honchkrow G
2 Garchomp C
2 Garchomp C LV.X
3 Crobat G
1 Giratina (PL Let Loose)
2 Uxie (LA)
1 Chatot G
1 Ambipom G

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums (29):
1 Aaron's Collection
4 Cyrus's Conspiracy
2 Cyrus's Initiative
1 Judge
3 Pokemon Collector
3 Energy Gain
1 Luxury Ball
4 Poke Turn
4 Power Spray
2 SP-Radar
4 Super Scoop Up

Energy (14):
4 Double Colorless Energy
4 Special Darkness Energy
4 Darkness
2 Psychic
Stratagy is just like any other sablelock, try to disrupt for a few turns and if they last, then set up and start killing.

If i missed something blatantly obvious, dont be mean. One, I've never played a sablelock deck, and two, i made this at 3AM, so my brain isnt at 100% right now. (i almost seriously posted this without any poke turns)

i would drop 1 psychic energy for 1 promocroak, gives you an actual reason to have any psychic energy at all, giratina and crobat probably shouldnt be considered for attacking
 
Looks good, but I would suggest:
-1 Crobat G
-1 Darkness Energy

+1-1 Honchkrow SV
or
+1-1 Drifblim UD
These cards are good as Machamp counters, choose the ones you like. I think Honchkrow is the best in sablelock (because it's darkness) but you should use the one you like.
 
totally agrees with the techs that pokebert suggested.

But personally i prefer drifblim UD. With lucario gl, you can ohko machamp sf with a single crobat drop. You can also ohko a mewtwo prime which would otherwise wall your entire team.
Take away can also ruin set up heavy pokemon, like a steelix prime with 3 special metal, just take away his steelix =D.
 
Unless you are planning to use Giratina as an attacker, replace it with another Judge card. It will just eat up bench space otherwise.

Another 1-1 Tech I use is Mightyena LA. For one Dark Energy you can use Bite On to do 30 damage, plus if the Defending Pokemon is an unevolved Pokemon it may not attack, retreat, or use any PokePowers on your opponent's turn. It is a great SP counter.
 
Try it with my list, it works absolutly great.

Oh and I know Giratina is great, but it really hurts the deck, because if your oppenent gets it active you have big problems as you would have to put in to many useless cards into this deck to get it back, for example at least 2 warp energies or energy exchanger.
2 judge are fine and you will not get the full lock most times, because you also have to concentrate on getting out all your needed Pokemons to get 6 prizes.
