Alright, so this deck is pretty good, but with all of the new cards coming out, well tell me if it needs help.

Pokemon (8):
x3 Darkrai EX
x2 Tornadus EX
x1 Bouffolaunt
x2 sableye

I/S/S (40)
x2 Skyla
x2 asperia gym
x3 Ultra Balls
x4 dark patch
x3 eviolite
x3 N
x4 pokemon catcher
x4 crushing hammer
x2 tool scraper
x1 Computor Search ACE SPEC
x4 Juniper
x2 enhanced hammer
x2 dark claw
x2 switch
x2 energy switch

energy (12):
3 DCE
9 dark energy

Plan: Set up Tornadus EX then stock up energy on darkrai then hit the bench and defending pokemon.

At a minimum I think you need to rework the supporter line. Colress is not out yet, and Cilan is not really necessary. I'd make those 3 more Junipers (it helps getting cards in the discard and puts resources in your hand). I'd also increase the N count to 4 and add in Skyla + Cheren or Bianca. In my Darkrai deck right now I'm using 4 Juniper/4 N/ 4 Skyla/ 2 Cheren. That could easily be 3 Skyla and 3 Cheren or Bianca, but I wouldn't go below 10 draw supporters, and Skyla is sick in a deck like this. To make room for the additional supporters, you could drop the RR, 1 Darkrai (3 is the typical play), 3 Dark Claw, a Dark energy and 1 Enhanced Hammer. That will still allow you to take a "Hammertime" approach, but make the deck much more consistent. Also, since you are relying so much on Tornadus, I'd consider using Aspertia Gym instead of Skyarrow Bridge. Darkrai will give you free retreat anyway, and the extra 20 HP is really helpful.

Colress is for the future, thank you a lot

Should I remove the Rod?
 
I found that sableye doesnt help, this deck goes quick enough where I dont run out of trainers.

not as good as it should be... just lost to darkiontwo
 
You probably don't need the rod in this build. I usually only play super rod in techy Darkrai builds in order to get a specific attacker back (like Terrakion) or side energy like fighting. There may be some circumstance where the super rod helps, but you'll probably get more out of another card like Computer Search.

*edit*
If you want to use this deck, plz alter it, or give me credit. Thank you.
 
wow, sorry didn't see that you edited in the list, my bad!
then i would change a ultra ball for a juniper. even tho you draw them alot juniper is such a great card to max out for this deck, and i don't believe that you ever needed to use 4 ultra balls, when you also have the chance to junk hunt for them if that is needed, no matter what you discard the cards from your hand no matter if you play ultra ball or juniper.
 
switch is needed! i know you get free retreat but what if your opponent paralyzes you with tynamo victini combo? you need the switch for them not to setup, or else you will get crushed!

yup my point exactly
 
could you give us some info on how well the deck is doing, i mean wins and loses against the diffrent decks?
it could help us to help you improve it :)
 
ok currrently my only problem hydreigon (cant one shot) so that is my only current losses (and occassional bad start)
Thanks for your idea neuman, the -1 Ultra Ball +1 Juniper actually helps :)

haha np man :)

okay so it is hard to change the list so that i can counter hydregion, the only way around it is to save your catchers for the deino's and KO them, then go for the darkrai's it is easier said than done, but it is probably your only hope :p
