[mewtwox83]

Swablu or Altaria make pokemon sleep sweet, and Darkrai make pokemon sleep with Nightmare, thus the name is "Sweet Nightmare"



20 Pokemon (14 Basics, 6 Evolution)

3 Darkrai (Poke-Power Darkness Shade)
1 Darkrai Lv.X
4 Darkrai G
4 Swablu (Platinum 97/127)
3 Altaria (Platinum 18/127)
2 Baltoy
2 Claydol
1 Uxie


14 Energy:

8 Basic Darkness Energy
4 Special Darkness Energy
2 Upper Energy



26 Trainers:

4 Roseanne's Research
4 Cyrus's Conspiracy
4 Energy Gain
3 Bebe's Search
3 Professor Oak's Visit
2 Night Maintenance
2 Poke Turn
2 Moonlight Stadium
1 Snowpoint Temple
1 Luxury Ball



Strategy:

Depends on what hand you have, you may start using Darkrai G, Swablu, Baltoy or Darkrai. The ideal start would be Swablu on active and have Darkrai on hand and put down on the bench to make the defending pokemon sleep immediately thus bypassing Unown G. Also search Darkrai G and Baltoy from Roseanne's Research, try to put as much Darkrai G on the bench and wait for the perfect moment to bench Darkrai's Poke-Power. Try to evolve Swablu into Altaria fast since Swablu have low HP.

Swablu's first attack make defending pokemon sleep on the first turn! and abuse Darkrai G's Poke-Body. Use Altaria's Midnight Eyes to make defending pokemon sleep, and if is still asleep then use Perish Song to knockout pokemon!!! Also use Healing Song if you need healing or when you know the defending pokemon have 40HP or less to knock out due to Darkrai G 's Poke-Body.

Use Cyrus's Conspiracy to get Supporter, Energy Gain and Basic Darkness Energy and attach to Darkrai G for 2nd turn attack!

Due to Swablu and Altaria's fighting resistance, can resist any fighting pokemon and also can double the attack with colorless weakness pokemon like Flygon. Darkrai can resist Psychic attack like Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Gengar, Dusknoir, etc...


Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Hope this deck can help player beat Battle Road.

Hello anyone????!!!

Can somebody help me make this deck any better?

If you are gonna have a darkrai level x
why not put in a Weavile (that makes your active pokemon dark)
Making Altaria a good attacker.

Maybe 4 PokeBlower? You're opponent will most likely be keeping their Active Pokemon Guarded with Unown G.

I agree with this^.... How about a list like this below? It is a little faster and more powerful. If you ever wanted something different try Snorlax but I like Altaria so I am not sugesting get rid of him. I think the list below is more of a Darkrai deck and Drakrai G isn't needed as much as you have him. 2 is all you need for this deck so how about this.....

2 Claydol
2 Weavile SW
2 Sneael LA
1 Uxie

I'm not too keen on the start of this deck but I have thought about it.

After you have to do is get Altaria out asap and midnight eyes, weither or not the opponent stays asleep is irrelevant, if they have not switched just put down a Darkrai MD on your bench to put them asleep automatically, according to the text, the defending pokemon only needs to be AFFECTED by midnight eyes, says nothing about it has to be asleep DUE TO midnight eyes, so perish song for the quick KO.

The only problem I see with this deck is Power spray from SP decks, and the low survivability of Altaria being a stage 1 Pokemon with average-low HP, might wanna consider some scoop ups too to hopefully retrieve benched darkrai.
