An idea of mine after hearing the most recent podcast was using Eeveelutions instead of Vileplume alongside Sableye DX. Use Houndoom to lock a disruptive or damaging stadium while the burn gets worse.

Sample list

Pokémon: 24
4 Sableye DX
2 Absol LM
4 Eevee CFF
2 Flareon ex
1 Magic_Umbreon ex :thumb:
2 Vaporeon ex
2 Houndoor
2 Houndoom
1 Absol ex
1 Holon's Castform
2 Holon's Electrode
1 Charizard*

Trainers: 22
3 Holon Transceiver
2 Mentor
1 Farmer
1 Scientist
3 Scott
1 Giant Stump
2 Full Flame
1 Crystal Beach
1 Battle Frontier
2 Super Scoop Up
1 Warp Point
2 Prof. Elm's
2 Copycat

Energy: 12
4 Dark Energy
4 Dark Metal Energy
4 Multi Energy

Strategy

The basis of the deck is to lock your opponent out of trainers. This is done through Houndoom's body which restricts your opponent from playing all trainers but supporters...
Sableye is there for his second attack. Stopping them from playing their supporters alongside Houndoom means they get to play no trainers! Of course, this means you can lock nasty stadiums such as crystal beach in.

Now, as they can't play a lot from their hand, their hand will likely get bigger as they slowly delta draw for evolutions etc. You can copycat or scientist for draw yourself after you burn stadiums, energies and quick-play trainers. Vaporeon ex can be used to leave them optionless while you power up Charizard*.

While you are locking their trainers in preparation for the Vaporeon ex blast, Flareon ex can lay a burn that alongside Full Flame could turn fatal. You can even use Magic_Umbreon ex to pull out a high-retreat support pokémon or ex to trap.

While Absol LM could fetch you your eeveelutions, if you can start with him or SSU your starter, castforms will be punished.

Scott is a beast here. You can fetch copycat for huge draw, a stadium for a crucial lock or burn support or an elm/mentor for setup.

The energy line is simply mono-dark so that limitation is ensured and high damage can be done with darks using rotated claws after a Vap ex is played.

The best part of the deck is the sheer EVIL! If they cannot do anything, Night Vision will tell you they can't. Hahahahaha!

Please comment, even if just to say it's no good. :lol:
 
I don't see why. Remember, there are countries that won't get those rules for months!

Whats Char* for?????

Late game after a vaperon ex is played and you see there hand has no threat (Night Vision) you build him up for pwnage. The deck is just an idea that needs tuning remember.

You NEED the Sableye start.

This means Great Balls, Dual Balls, Switches AND Warp Points in very high numbers. We can still play trainers first turn over here so this'll still do for now =D
 
great idea for a complete lock basiclly. but the most you could have on your bench are 2 pokemon, because 3-4 and most likely you'll ahve more or same # of pokemon as oyur opponet making Houndoom's body useless and the strat go down teh drain. so only fixes i'd say is go with what was mentioned above. with atleast 3-4 Warp Points and Poke Reversals/ Switchs because you NEED Sableye to start. also would drop full flame and add 1 mroe crystal beach and 1 Giant Stump. JMO but dont think the Eeveelution line is really needed. you could just add 1 more Absol Ex. and 2 more Holon Electrode
 
Hiya,

Why not Mew ex? You can copy Sableye's and other Pokemon's attack. Much more options.

cya~

As I stated in the first quote, don't slate the deck because of D/P rules. Me and Dom are from the UK which gets those rules at September.
