Altaria/?/Darkrai

[pkmnmaster04]

Hey everyone first time putting a deck idea of mine. Was looking through my cards and came up with this. But cant come up with another pokemon to help this deck out. And another issue i see with this deck is a little bit of draw power. So please help. Thanx for reading.

Pokemon: Not complete yet
3-3 Altaria PL
????? * a pokemon that has a power that wnt let them retreat?*
1 Darkrai Lv. X
2 Darkrai MD
2 Darkrai G
3 Spiritomb AR
2 Sableye SF

Trainers: 17
3 Rare Candy
2 Bench Shield
2 SSU
3 Expert Belt
2 BTS
3 Warp Point

Supporters: 10
3 Roseannes
3 Bebes
4 Prof Oaks Visit

Energy: 13
4 special dark
6 regualr dark
3 call energy

Strategy: Make The Defending pokemon stay asleep! Basically start off with sableye get a roseannes drop a darkrai G and swablu down. Or start off with sableye and hopefully swablu is benched and evolve. Use BTS and rare candy or spiritombs attack to evolve more quickly. Use Darkrai MD's power or an attack from the other pokemon to make their pokemon fall asleep. Use Altarias Midnight Eyes and Perish Song to faint. Darkrai lv.X is just for more damage and Darkrai G is jus for damge between turns.

Missing Cards: I need a pokemon that has a power that wont let my opponent retreat? Any suggestions?

Just to tell you:

Shiftry has no effect on the sleep condition. Sleep is figured between turns, and Shiftry only works on your opponent's turn!

If you're looking for something that makes them think twice before retreating consider Ariados MT or Dugtrio PL. They both have their pros and cons. Ariados, on the one hand, adds an extra energy to retreat. But with moonlight stadium and flygon so prevalent this may not be effective. Dugtrio PL gives them 2 damage when they retreat but keep in mind this doesn't include warp point, Gardevoir X's teleportation, etc.

You could try Altaria PL + Luxray GL Lv.X + Ariados MT and cut the Darkrai line. Use Luxray GL Lv.X to drag up an opponent's benched pokemon, get 1 or 2 Ariados MT in play so that they can't retreat and then use the Midnight Eyes + Perish song combo to KO them. Wouldn't hold up in competitive play due to PokeTurn, Warp Point, Palkia Lv.X, Dialga G Lv.X etc. but could be fun for league play.
