Strategy

Absol G Lv.X is the main attacker and can be out T2 hitting for 60 damage minimum, by discarding a card from my hand, this can also rise to 70 or 80 with Special Darkness Energy attached. Honchkrow G is the prefered starter, this allows me to search for two of any Energy Gain, Battle Tower, Power Spray, Poke Turn or a much prefered Moonlight Stadium or SP Radar. Skuntank G is to help in the fight against the Meta, this helps with Gengar Matchup as I am able to do 70 plus Weakness of 30 meaning I need an extra 10 without enabling the effect from Fainting Spell, with Skuntank's Poison this is possible. Relicanth is a great tech here for the Mirror, other SP or LuxApe matchup, this can easily OHKO anything active or benched. Ditto is for the matchup with Flygon, Garchomp or Rayquaza C. Unown G is to protect me from Gengar and Machamp donks. Uxie is used for its incredible draw power and Azelf tosave Pokemon from my Prize Cards. Crobat G to help with KO's and if I need/want to attack with Honchkrow G. Lucario GL is for x2 Weakness. Rosanne's Research, Bebe's Search, Luxury Ball and SP Radar are all used for searching out Pokemon. Night Maintenace to recover lost Pokemon and Energy, excluding Special Energy. Moonlight Stadium for free Retreat. Warp Point to add a little disruption to the mix. Energy Gain, Power Spray and Poke Turn are what makes SP decks so powerful. Battle Tower as I will get damaged. The Darkness Energyare obviously expected, Fighting for Relicanth and Psychic for Ditto in Gallade 4 matchup.

As mentions and suggestions and constructive critism welcome, but the deck does seem very solid.

After testing Chatot G isn't needed. I f I fail with Darkness Send, then I have helped out my opponent and can potentially lose the game.

dusknoir fb should be in there, since you discards sps for absols attack it can do a lot of damage late game
you need to fucus more on your deck and spend less space on techs, overteching ruins good decks

I have just noticed that, any ideas on what to take out as it would also help with Machamp matchup.
