I've been trying to get this deck tweaked before cities. Please don't suggest radical departures, but rather, tweaks or techs for specific metas, along with card specific changes for those techs and tweaks. All help is appreciated.

2-1-2 serperior( royal heal)
4-2-4 gothitelle(magic room)
3-1-2 reuniclus (damage swap)
1 pichu(playground)

4 rare candy
3 pokemon communication
2 junk arm
2 catcher
1 max potion
1 super rod
1 tropical beach
4 twins
3 pokemon collector
3 sage's training
2 N

2 double colorless energy
1 rainbow energy
9 psychic energy

The strategy is to get an active gothitelle as quickly as possible with a reuniclus on the bench. Use serperior to heal damage from pokemon. N is to punish quicker decks while also offering hand refresh. I am terrible at matchup % so I'll leave that part up to you all to decide. I'd like to keep the serperior line over blissey, cause it heals more damage than a oneshot effect. Thank you in advance for your help.
 
I really think you need 4 communication total for a deck like this, with 3 different stage 2 line-ups.
 
I ussually see a zekrom in goth. How come u dont run it? I hear its good to drop counters on and outrage and such.

^AGreed. Soem, like myself, prefer Reshiram in order to hit everything neautral, such as Donphan Prime. Kyruem is actually probably the best option now, hitting fire types for weakness and having almost no viable grass pokemon with water resistance int he format, while fufilling zekrom's only noticable effect in OHKOing SEL.
 
I don't play any dragons cause the serperiors and benched goths seem to soak the damage alright. I tend to drop a quick goth into the active. Then I set the reuniclus while building a benched goth . After that, I usually have a turn or two to get serperior running. I seem to average around 3 turns of beach draws while doing this and it isn't very hard to get going. With dragons you have to utilize max potions and/or seekers to keep making the damage dissapear. With this build, serperior takes the place of the dragons and the Blisseys/seekers as damage control.
 
u definitely need a cleffa

and 3 stage 2 lines seems way too much, take out serp for dragons as damgage soakers
 
Have you considered Cleffa? There are so many games where I Eek for a bunch of turns to get everything I need, and it really helps out in my Goth build.
 
I agree with cleffa I didn't run it for the longest time now I'm so glad I do it helps so much with setup that I actually dropped from 4 to 3 collected because of it
