do I really need BTS? all of the pokemon here only get up to stage one, and BTS doesn't let you level up right away.

I don't know how I forgot uxie.
 
This is why you download redshark, so you can get an idea of how well this deck works. Though honestly the whole Gliscor lvX and Leafeon UD idea is all too situational and wouldn;t work all of the time: you level up Gliscor lvX use its power and retreat to Leafeon UD to deal 100 (+10 from poison). You don't play any Seeker or Super Scoop Up to keep this going consistently meaning you're just relying on Donphan prime to clean up, but in this case why not just focus on Donphan Prime being the center of this deck. It can deal 60 from T2 (T1, but your deck doesn't run BTS or Rare Candy) your bad match-up would be G-dos and DialgaChomp - G-Dos hits you for weakness and resists you and Dialgachomp can tank you and heal off all the damage and cancels your body, but this is why we have techs. It would also work much more consistently than your current idea.

You can't be going to regionals with a theorymon deck (looks good on paper but without any testing it's actual preformance could be poor) and expect to do well. Also Moonlight Stadium is illegal for modified play (was released in Great Encounters)

Also, if you need certain cards but can't obtain them, then i think it would be in your best interests to attend the league (30mins away isn't that bad, most people would be happy to live 30 minutes away from a league, others have to travel 1 hour+ to get to a league) playing with an incomplete deck will just lower your chances and make the deck function badly (speaks from experience)

Ok.
-I'm with you on the whole "Gliscor lvX/Leafeon UD deck is too situational" But not because of the decks you face, but because it takes 2-3 turns to set up 100-150 damage.
-Donphan prime is a whole other deck entirely, it is meta, and its card is more of a tech in this deck... so you just threw out the 'scrap this deck and make a new one' card (inadvertently, but you did...)
-Was the Theorymon comment about me or him? My theorymon deck (If you want to critique it, GO TO IT'S POST.) was never meant to be entered into tourneys, not all decks are made to be entered into tourneys, so don't try and treat them as such pl0x.
-Some people have no means to travel 30+ minutes weekly. (I can't speak for this dude, but I know I can't. For example: I have work and homework most weekends AND i'm needing to save money for college, which inhibits me from traveling out of town more than once every month or two.)
-Please don't post rude comments, only helpful suggestions.

ANYWAYS.
Jirachi is a FANTASTIC starter. Especially if you have high supporter counts. (which you do.) it doesn't MAKE you go first (first is almost never the best turn. no t/s=wasted turn if you have a terrible starting hand)
And, while if your opponent has a sableye start, they will use a supporter. BUT. if you have a supporter in your hand, you get to use 2 supporters AND have free retreat for next turn (or whichever turn you need to get the heck outa there).

You also have final wish: "Once during your opponent's turn, if Jirachi were to be knocked out by damage from an attack, you may search your deck for any 1 card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards"

This lets you basically have 1/2 of a twins for free.

So...
pros:
1) not going first every time (bonus, because 2 supporters 1st turn= great)
2) Final Wish (power that can't be sprayed because it is not YOUR turn.)
3) Free retreat.
4) 2 supporters every turn.

cons:
1) can't search out supporters
2) ... 60 hp?
3) I can't think of anymore cons
4)^^ refer to #3.

possibility: -2 warp point +2 rainbow energy (for blaziken)
 
I'd say -1 Expert Belt (3 is plenty... 1 or 2 Leafeons out at a time.. you'd also need to take out a LvX for it.) and add the NDP Gliscor.
It is BOSS. it blocks the evo/level-up status heal from happening when its active and has free retreat. :)

As long as you have 1 of each, the other pokemon will be able to get out the energy they need (cyrus's conspiracy is recommended there)... I'd -1-1 Leafeon for that (yes, its your main attacker, but 4 is taking up space cause you'll have 2 on the bench max.)
I also think you should take out the 2 warp point AND 2 Fighting energy for 2 Rainbow Energy AND 1 Fire and Grass Basics (may need to put them to sleep OR just do damage to Steelix if fire types are impossible to get out. Leafeon isn't bad at this. :p)

So... summary.
-1 Expert Belt
-1-1 Leafeon
-1 Gliscor LvX
-2 warp point
-2 Fighting Energy

+1 Gliscor NDP
+1 Fire Basic Energy
+1 Grass Basic Energy
+2 Rainbow Energy
+2/3 Cyrus's Conspiracy

I think that's it :)
 
Haha I need to meta-up my RS too... G'dos and LuxChomp being the main ones...
BUT. There's a thread in another forum that is SUPER helpful in RS help. mainly says right click to run as administer and right click for everything that you try to do. (gives you SOOO many more options and makes it run smoother/clearer... if that makes sense)
 
maybe 2-2 Muk UD.

Drags Pokemon off the bench, poisons AND confuses, and Pester is gross when Defending Pokemon are affected by Special Conditions.
 
Well, if Blaziken is just there for Dialga/Steelix, Muk might be a better choice because you can force them to waste resources dealing with the status conditions on their big hitters. 3 and 4 retreat cost is nothing to laugh at, especially in a format where most of your energy is pushed into attacking. Plus, Confusion turns attacking into a fifty-fifty proposition, and I know from my own experience, I'd rather take just the twenty hit from poison over two turns than the extra thirty hit from a failed Confusion roll on top of that.
 
blaziken isn't there just for diagla and steelix. It would do well against them, but it is there for it's ability to increase damage done to burned pokemon. Gliscor LA burns them with burning poison the turn before it levels up. Then it levels up, uses shoot poison, and retreats. Leafeon then can do 190 damage plus poison and burn damage, which is a OHKO for anything.
