i like dodrio than uxie. uxie's poke power can be used once a game unless it is super scoop up
dodrio' poke power can be used once a turn.

need suggestions
this deck has free space for 6 cards
i need a card to search energies?
 
I would toss in an extra candy just for the speed and consistency. Who doesn't like a Turn-1 Kingdra donk? You could take out a BTS or pokedex.

You only have 15 pokemon, so, it'll be a little hard using pokemon communication. I would take them out definitely for a fourth Bebe's Search, and umm.. maybe energy? Btw you said 8 energy it's actually 7.

For an energy searcher, you could use Cyrus' Conspiracy. Don't know much else, I miss Roseanne's :(

So yeah, hope that helped.
 
I'd run a 3 Prime, 1 LA line. Fire-types aren't seen a lot, so the 3rd Kingdra Prime helps with extra damage.

Since your deck is supposed to be speedy, I would drop the 2-2 Dodrio for a 3-1 Uxie line. Uxie works a lot better than Dodrio for early-game speed.

Your T/S/S line needs work. You need 4 Rare Candies and 4 BTS; drop the 2 Professor Oak's New Theory for an extra of each. I'd then drop a Bebe's Search and a Pluspower for two more Pokemon Communications; they work better for early-game speed.

Other options you might want to consider are Unown Q to give your just-leveled-up Uxie Lv. X free retreat, Warp Point for general disruption, or a thicker Machamp line.
 
Next format is going have trainer lock decks in it shutting down half your deck . You might get a few donks early with all the plus powers and expert belts but not sure if luck can win all the games. Live by the sword die by the sword. Take out the one card draw pokemon that you have for 4 unown R. Add 3 uxie and a uxie X if you have one. Get what basics you need with 4 Collectors and 4 Communication. It works great with kingdra decks.

EDIT: DavidsConfusedPokedad has it. Them Texans know some kingdra.
 
haha i saw you posted this deck several times on pokebeach. If it is a Speedra deck, your decks gonna run pretty slow. max out those rc and bts, and add lookers or more pont because you want that constant flow of new cards with kingdra especially since u discard 2 cards each turn with its attack. i added a cyrus engine in mine and it seems to work

this is only my suggestion:
-2-2 dodrio
-1-1-1 machamp sf
-4plus powers
-4pokedex

+2crobat
+2cyrus
+2poketurn
+1relicanth
+4lookers
+1rare candy
+1bts
+1palmer
+1expert belt
 
Uxie - Draw cards until you have 7 in hand.

Id definitely add Cyrus Conspiracy for the energy search, and to get full use of it (The search for a Team Galactic card) Id add 1 or 2 Crobat G and 4 Poketurns. With the LA's splash damage from Dragon Pump and Primes Spray Splash, Crobat can help add quick KO's. Not to mention Cyrus becomes pretty much the best basic energy searcher with Roseanne's gone.

I agree with everyone else about adding in Uxies over Dodrio. You will also want 1 more Rare Candy, you should be max'ed out on those. Id also replace Scoop Ups with PokeDrawers. As strong as Scoop Up is, Ill take consistency cards over flip cards. Possibly another Oak's New Theory, only because Kingdra needs to be able to refill it's hand due to Dragon Pump.
 
uxie's poke power says Once during your turn, when you put Uxie from your hand onto your Bench, you may draw cards until you have 7 cards in your hand.
 not only that but you can use phsycic restore to kill gengar without having fainting spell. -2 prof oak + 2 crobat g
 
kamz, I'd like to disagree with you on the Crobats. Kingdra needs bench space to work effectively (as in keeping 3 Kingdra Primes in play), and the Crobats take up too much bench space. This deck also needs to run Uxie, so your full setup would be 4 Kingdras and 2 Uxies. Plus, Kingdra Prime has a built-in "Flash Bite," so I don't think Crobats are necessary. In addition, a Belted Kingdra Prime can do 90 to the active (with Spray Splash), so Crobats aren't necessary because Kingdra will OHKO the active.

I'd like to disagree with you, how often can you get 4 kingdra's out? He's playing 2 kingdra prime not 3. Even when claydols were in play getting 4 stage 2 into play was quite hard. For kingdra to attack, it needs a water energy, and in order to guarantee a water, people have suggested putting in cyrus, and to optimize it's card, you can mix crobat in there and some poke turns to do even more dmg. doing 90 with expert belt is fine, but getting a crobat and a poke turn is much easier than getting an expert belt.
