Serperior Tank (Revisited)

Not sure why exactly, but I decided to revisit an old deck of mine. I think the original thread can still be found somewhere.

Pokemon

4-3-4 Serperior (4 Royal Heal)
2-2-2 Reuniclus
2 Emolga

T/S/S

4 Juniper
3 N
3 Skyla
3 Cheren
3 Switch
2 Rescue Scarf
3 Ultra Ball
3 Rare Candy
1 Tool Scrapper
3 Pokemon Catcher
2 Pluspower

Energy

11 Grass

Strategy: Set up Serperior and Reuniclus as quickly as possible. When ever you take damage, use Reuniclus' ability to spread the damage evenly so Serperior's Royal Heal can get rid of all of it. Your godlike survival comes at a price however, as this deck literally deals no damage. This deck literally DIES against catcher and decks like Darkrai and Garbodor. Probably just a fun league deck anyways, but lets just see where this goes.

Wow, nice deck! It actually might be a good competitive deck against Blastoise/Keldeo. I do recommend a few changes though. You're probably better of removing Tool Scrapper and 1 Plus Power for 2 Virizion EPO as you have no basic attackers. It might be good to remove the last Plus Power and 1 Cheren for 2 Regigigas Ex or 2 Registeel Ex or 1 of each along with removing 2 Servine and 1 Duosion for 3 DCE. I recommend using these cards because Regigigas does more damage the more it gets damage so it's a pretty good long term attacker even against Landorus and Registeel is good because it does heaps of bench damage so If this is your only able attacker you don't need to waste your catchers on your opponent's Pokemon. OK here is a summary of the changes I recommend and I hope they are helpful:

-1 Tool Scrapper
-2 Plus Power
-1 Cheren
-2 Servine
-1 Duosion

+2 Virizion EPO
+2 Regigigas Ex/Registeel Ex
+3 DCE
 
The thing is I need tool scrapper in here because Garbodor shuts this deck down hard. Your changes will be considered though. I am currently deciding if I want to turn this into an anti-meta sort of thing with Landorus EX and Garbodor. Thoughts?
 
I built a deck with Serperior, but it capitalized upon Servine's Wring Out attack and Victini, often attacking with Serperior via Celebi EX. Also, I had Mewtwo EX's. Mewtwo active with a couple of Serperiors healing it is quite formidable too.
 
Did you test Darkrai EX and Blend energies GPDR ? With darkrai EX and Blend you have free retreat and also a strong 2nd hitter. Also you can use techs like Sigilyph if you decide to play blend energies
 
Interesting idea. I don't need grass energy in this deck if I find another attacker. I like the Sigilyph though, it helps me counter some very serious threats.
 
I think Ditto would help in this deck too, considering Solosis is snipe bait for Darkrai EX. And 4 Catcher is a staple if you ever plan on winning. Also, no more than 2 Skyla. 3 Skyla is overkill.
 
3 Skyla seems solid to me based on the Supporter spread- maybe drop one Cheren if anything.
I would replace the Pluspowers with Hypnotoxic Laser, as it seems to be far Serperior (lol)
Darkrai would be a solid card to add, or mess with Celebi if you want to take risks. Not saying it's a terrible idea, it's just more risky.
