I usually dont post my original decks on pokegym but sense I have posted previous versions of this deck on the gym I might as well post the most recent one.

Pokemon:15
2~Espeon ex
2~Umbreon ex
4~Eevee UF
4~Lunatone LM
1~Solrock LM
1~Girafarig LM
1~Holons

Trainers:29
2~Super Scoop Up
3~Pokemon Retriever
3~Transciever
2~Mentor
1~Scientist
2~Reversal
4~ER2
3~Swoop
2~Admin
4~PETM
2~Space Center
1~Battle Frontier

NRG:16
4~Dark
1~Cyclone
3~Rainbow
6~Psychic
2~Boost

Disruption is the key! I usually get a Turn 1 umbreon on there Jirachi start and alot of games are over next turn unless they t2 mentor or grab another basic. A lone start against umbreon usually ends it for them also. If we really get into the game I try to disrupt their set up by devolving with umbreon, moving with espeon, discarding with ER2, and cyclone/reversal. Espeon can also give you alot of double KO's by hitting the active moving it to the bench next turn then flashing it for the KO. I think I may need more admin in this deck and my trainer line is a little bad. The MAJOR problem I have is the Lunasol/Giraffe cutting off eevee most of the time when I need eevees power though they are not on the bench. This deck has a few bad match ups. LBS is not a primary concern if you can flash and get rid of the blastoise and stop the pidgeot and jirachi. Espeon take cares of umbreons weakness and umbreon takes care of espeons.

Hi,
Which Espeon and Umbreon? Which Lunatone and Solrock? Which Eevee? If UF Eevee, are you aware it doesn't active the power? I don't see how Umbreon EX ends the game.
Also if you're talking about the EX its Espeon EX that has Devo-flash, not Umbreon EX

Would like to help, need to know more!

Lol, I have made changes... If I start with a eevee uf and attach a dark then evolve into umbreon ex and hit them for 30 and they dont get another basic or evolve next turn I hit them for 30 more and it is gg. I know espeon has devo-flash I never said it didnt.
 
I don't really think that Umbreon/EspeonEX are really that good early game. Because of that, you may want to try to add in another evolution of eeveethat you can use effectively early game.

I meant that part. It was only a minor thing. Okay, so now we know which Pokemon we're talking about!

Girafarig does seem to hurt your strategy. I think you need more pokemon draw; if your one Mentor is prized Transceiver's no help. I think you can afford to lose a PETM. Have you considered Holon Farmer instead of retriever? It fits into your Holon engine better.

Stadiums... What is Space Center's purpose? It would stop Lunarock working! If its in there (I'm just wildly guessing) to stop your own poke-bodies, then maybe girafarig shouldn't be in there at all. I can't see any great stadium choice, but I think you need to counter; Mt Moon would hurt you early, Cursed Stone would be ugly and Desert Ruins is generally bad for 110HP EX. As such, I'd go for Battle Frontier. Depending on what you face, Magnetic Storm could be handy against Sneasel EX, Spin Tail Tyrannitar, TTar EX, UF Houndoom, but it would also leave your Umbreon EX at risk.

OTOH, run no stadiums and Espeon EX hits harder for theirs. Your choice I guess

I'm afraid I'm not a fan of single cards in any list without Pidgeot. 1 Admin, 1 Steven, it doesn't make sense to me. Assuming you have the cards, decide and bulk up

When you start with Lunatone (just as likely as Eevee) do you Guidance for a swoop or a transceiver?

I did play Farmer in a previous version but retriever is so much better because I can snatch one into my hand. I only like to play one mentor because I REALLY dont need to search if I dont want to. Also I dont like to use eevees body for obvious reasons the deck is supposed to try its best to use Espeons and Umbreons powers of course and I need max elms for that plus if my giraffe/lunarock is stopping my eevee I am going to need to search for them. Space center is to use for emergency use of eevee but I actually do need the storm so I will incorperate that into my list. There is no way I am running 0 stadiums in this deck sorry. I switched the 1 stevens to another admin for even more disruption. And I most likely will go for swoop and not a transciever. I only mentor when I HAVE to not when I want to.
 
The only reason I say that about stadiums is because of Espeon EX. I've played it, and I don't often see any trainers on their side apart from stadiums. You might get the occasional pokemon tool, especially from people who don't know Espeon EX well. That extra 30, or more, that they weren't expecting can make a big difference
