An all R tourny will likely feature all of the heavy hitters you can think of. I don't think you can plan to just out-muscle the field because there are too many ways to power up a 60 or 100 attack Turn 2 and chances are even that it'll be his instead of yours. Unlike the F tournament, there is no Resistance to give you any lasting defense against a built-up hitter.

My strategy to gain an advantage over the field would be to explore extensive disruption (lots of ER, SER, and your favorite trainer-killer package) and to utilize cheap copying attacks to strike back (Smeargle) or first (Clefable). Since you are running your own R deck, all of those Pokemon with anti-Clefable text just got a lot more vulnerable.

I see DCE as being very valuable to any strategy you choose (helps Bl Arcanine, Smeargle, Ditto, plus Wooper, TR Squirtle, D Vaporeon/Promo Eevee splashes you might try). The quick and sure 40 or 60 the splashes can do will give your opponent plenty of things to worry about, especially if they are wearing a Focus Band.

I would stick with a single big hitter like Bl Arcanine and a good status BBP like F Magmar. Maybe a few Entei (Howl) would round out the list of R guys. The rest of the deck should be aimed at messing with your opponent's game.
