Deck Strategy
The Luxray GL LV.X is used for it's Poke Power 'Bright Look' for easy Prizes. The Garchomp C LV.X is used for it's sniping ability for easy prizes again,and it's Poke Power 'Healing Breath' to take off all damage on the users SP pokemon. The Blaziken FB is used for the Bench distruption and the manipulation on weak targets such as Magikarp on turn 1 (via burn), as well as the vapour kick against water pokemon with 60HP or lower (70/80 HP with 1 or 2 Crobat G drops) for an easy OHKO or Donk. Blaziken FB LV.X is also used for the Grass match-up and a Dialga G LV.X, Scizor Prime and Steelix Prime answer. The Dialga G is used for an early Trainer and stadium lock against opposing decks such as Gyarados to slow them down alot. Finally, the Dialga G LV.X is used for a Mewtwo LV.X counter, a Scizor Prime counter, a Spiritomb AR counter and the Vileplume UD counter.


Possible changes that are considered:

- 1 Team Galatic's Invention G-109 SP Radar
- 1 Crobat G

+ 1 Azelf LA
+ 1 Pokemon Collector

Tell me what you think Guys/Lasses, Thank you for reading,

hey Gardellade23, thank you for the advice, but i don't have any machamp decks in my area to worry about, although i will be very cautious just in case, that's what the Uxie LV.X is for too.

Uxie X is a decent answer to Machamp when you also play Lucario GL.

Otherwise, being 40 damage (or 4 bat drops!) short of a OHKO on a card that will run through every single Pokemon in your deck doesn't look like the greatest counter in the world to me.

If you are sure no-one will play Machamp in your area, fair enough.

I would still make the changes you suggested yourself though.
 
- I'm not sure how well all of this meshes. LuxChomp is obvs a deck, and it often includes a 1-1 Blaziken or a 1-1 Dialga deck, and BlazeChomp and DialgaChomp are also decks, but I'm not certain how well all 4 lines work. With that being said, I'd drop a Crobat, and add in an Azelf for sure. Dragonite FB should also see play here, if your meta is 'Chomp heavy. You should probably also add in a Lucario GL, otherwise your Machamp match-up will be much more difficult. Unown Q would also be pretty nice here, but I understand the list can be tight.

- 4 Energy Gain is a smart play, although I think you could probably cut to 3 if need be. Definitely cut 1 or 2 Sprays, there are more important things to have. You can also easily cut 1-2 Radar. Another Pokemon Collector would be nice. I'd cut the Luxury Ball for a Communication, and you should definitely find room for at least one Premier Ball. I might also try and find room for a VS Seeker to hit that second Aaron's/Palmer's.

- Energy is so weird here. Definitely need 4 DCE, and I can see going to 3 Call. I might take out a L for a Warp though. Hard decision.
 
The problem with this list is it looks to counter the top decks in the current format i.e. Luxray/Garchomp, Dialga/Garchomp and Gengar/Vileplume. Because of that, it has messed up the energy lines a bit while trying to make everything fit. I would say try to focus on either the Blaziken FB tech or Dialga G tech, letting one of the techs go would make your list more consistent.
