Strategy is to make a weavile and grab up those eggs and other to drop those vilify on your opponents! Eggs will go back into your hand for a repeat. Dark claw on him aswell for that extra pain!
umbreon is a health buff making weavile 110 health so not such an easy kill as he was and dark rai 200!
dark rai is backup

Ghetsis is to annoy incase of possible catchers!

With this deck ive dealt around 200 damage when weavile is nicely setup using ultra balls/juniper/vilify to dump your eggecute into the discard pile :)

not sure weather to put in a tool scrapper for garbodor but i think weavile will kill him out right anyway.
 
I've heard lots of this deck but have never seen a build. How is it working for you? I've been considering building it my self but would like some insight to how it plays and what it's good against.
 
This deck only can win via outspeeding your opponent you don't need eves just concentrate on our core attackers and Sableye and make every card work for speed and consistency. Lazers stadiums and hammers do nothing for this deck, When you can hit for 120-180 every turn what is the point? Oh I do run a tech Darkria.
 
I see I see. Yeah I hear alot of people saying this deck is not gonna put in work at all. They say its more of a fun deck but I think it s actually pretty sick. What are the pros and cons exactly?

Consistant cheap damage as long as Garbador is not arround
 
Umbreon's Ability doesn't work on Darkrai because he is not a Team Plasma Pokemon. Now if you had a Team Plasma Badge attached to Darkrai, then it would, but I do not see any of those in your list.
 
Eviolite isn't nearly as good for Garbodor as Rescue Scarf is, although Eviolite has a good place in Garbodor decks with big basic attackers. My issue is that you probably want to outspeed with Sneasel/Weavile, and maybe using 4-4 is more consistent with that. Also, if you're relying on Weavile to KO Garbodor then you're going to likely want 4 Catchers. You'd probably be better off without the Virbank Combo, though, but I'm not sure if Frozen City is a good replacement because you have 3 whole Darkrai.

This will also be a better match up against garbodor :)
The only thing I will say is to beware of pulling an eggecute into your first active pokemon otherwise your screwed haha but its worked pretty nicely with the tweaks.
keldeo is there for Rushfloat
having deoxys on the bench ends up hurting them for that bit extra especially with the add on before weakness and resistance. also plasma/blend incase you find you struggle to pull out weaviles.
Can hit for upto 200 or more if done right :) and thats without lasers.
Lasers are for either that last bit of damage or for deoxies and absol.
Ghetsis is for that "he has a catcher" feeling lol xD
 
Why the blends Unless you are going to play eggsecutor you have zero use for it. (You will NEVER NEVER have a situation where you will be benching an egg unless you start with it)

I would pull Absol and a Darkria as you really need Sabeley in this deck. It is your best starter and lets you spam Level and Ultra balls at the beggining of games and gets you set up super quick. I run personally 4 so I have 3 left to vilify with. Your trainer line is imilar to mine, except I don't see any need in this deck for lasers, stadiums or plasma balls, run 4 level and an ultra ball or two that is all you need. Level will get out everything but the EXs Every card in this deck should be focused on getting senasles and eggs out of your deck as soon as possible. Oh your need to run ONE Town Map for games that you have prized eggs.

It does run fine the way it is. Blend is for deoxies incase for some odd reason you cant get your weavile/absol out in time.
And " (You will NEVER NEVER have a situation where you will be benching an egg unless you start with it)" I kinda said that in my last post and youve kinda repeated it :) just letting you know ^^

There is no need for ultra balls I mean unless you really really want that keldeo out? plasma ball has really helped speed up getting deoxys and weaviles/absols out a lot faster.

The only problem im having at the moment is getting egg donked lol
While my thought pattern is on your first sentence I hope you didnt think I was going to use blend on an eggecute? :/ Thats madness bud :p

Dont really need a sableye even though I did have one in there and Darkrai is useless in this deck unless you have him as an attacker and weavile/absol do pretty well as attackers.
the virbank is there to not only assist with poison but to also get rid of skyarrow bridge/tropical beach because i notice alot of eels and blastoise are being played at the moment.
Laser is needed to halt your opponent especially if you can put them to sleep. if he cant attack its perfect to get set up in that time. Also having a certain amount of damage because your hand isnt filled with pokemon yet it helps do that last bitof damage to get you your prizes.

Also level ball requires too much discarding unless you have eggs in hand but id rather just draw them using plasma or level balls.
If you worried about eggs being N'd junipers have been very useful for that because i always find myself using it to discard them and drawing more pokemon to assist weaviles vilify.

Absol is a great basic that can make your opponent bench less due to his first attack ability and he can get setup pretty quickly along with weavile.
Setting him up with a dark claw and 3 deoxys/other bench can lead upto 150 damage. thats where laser can also be handy ;)

Anywho I will look into it but I dont think itll help this deck much at this present time :) and thankyou for some advice :)
 
The main purpose of Ultra Ball is the discard, not the search function (although that could stack well if you have 2 in hand)
 
thing is you need to have those eggs in hand so you might as well just have the levels balls and plasmas. dowsing machine is also good for it and juniper
 
sorry I missed the fact you added Deoxys to your build. Good Luck. I cant wait to play this deck for real t League tomorrow. Of course I need my Weaviles to get in the mail soon or I won be able to play it this weekend.
 
Cheers! Oh Ive had to change it alittle when i was playing in hobby league today.
added 2more plasma energy and took out dark claw and dark patches for colress machines and rescue scarfs since weavile and absol are squishy and need to be set up quickly.
 
Its better to colress machine to search through your deck rather then try and go through your discard pile. You have to use cards to help drop those energies in the first place and its better just to grab them from your deck. Plus deoxys will benefit :)
