HGSS-on To the Max!

[BlueZangoose]

So, ever since ND I've been playing Darmanitan with mixed results, and I want to know if I can improve its consistency. I've made some adjustments to the trainers and pokemon in the deck from how I used to play it. Before today my Darmanitan line was 3-3 and my Gardevoir line was 2-1-2, but I made those adjustments today. Let me know if that's a mistake.

Recent tweaks and why:
Added extra Darmanitan and Gardevoir line.
-I got a mulligan 3/5 times. ended up with a Victini start once.
Replaced Juniper with N.
-Juniper + this = no.
Removed one Flower Shop Lady for Super Rod
-Would get FSL early in the game. Other supporters are more useful.
Removed two dual balls, added collectors
-3 is better than 1-2.
Added Twins
-My opponent takes a few prizes, then I power up and steamroll them. It happens. This deck is a little slower.

Engineer's Adjustments is one of my favorite supporters. I am keeping at least two in this deck no matter what. I used to run four.

Tweaks I'm considering:
+1 Victini
+1 Dual Ball/Collector

Strategy:
Get Gardevoir out there to double all psychic energy with psychic mirage. Darmaxitan flips for 50 damage for every energy attached, so that's two chances for 50 with each psychic. Victini allows me to reflip if I don't do enough damage. Mewtwo definitely benefits from being able to x ball for just one psychic or DCE, and makes a good starter when powering up my bench.

Pokemon:
1x Victini (Victory Star)
4x Darumaka (ND, Hammer in)
4x Darmanitan (ND, Darmaxitan)
3x Ralts (ND)
2x Kirlia (ND)
3x Gardevoir (ND)
1x Mewtwo EX

Trainers:
2x Switch
1x Energy Retrieval
1x Rare candy
2x Super Rod
2x Pokemon Catcher
2x Heavy Ball
1x Dual Ball
2x Junk Arm
2x Pokemon Communication

Supporters:
2x Pokemon Collector
3x Engineer's Adjustments
1x Flower Shop Lady
2x PONT
2x Twins
2x Cilan
2x N

Energy:
2x DCE
11x Psychic

You only have 59 cards listed so you need to add one more.

My mistake, I forgot to list my Mewtwo.

I run a similar deck and I think you really need some exp. shares, they help a lot, maybe consider in putting a Musharna, it's good for speeding up.

I would go
Pokemon
+1 Fliptini
In case the other is prized.

Trainers
-1 Energy Retrieval
+2 Rare Candy
-2 Super Rod
+1 or 2 Heavy Ball
+2 Level ball or Ultra Ball

Need more candies for Gadevoir, level ball for kirlia, ultra ball for gardevior. up to you. I also ran super rod to get mewtwo/darmaxitan back but other than that I didn't use it much.

Supporter
-3 Engineer's Adjustments
-1 Flower shop Lady
+2 Juniper
+2 PONT

Engineer's is alright but your energy does you no good in your discard pile. I think PONT and Juniper make the deck more consistant.

Energy
3-4 DCE
10 Psychic

Easier to get the T1 Hammer In lol. Or X-ball.

My first build of this also had musharna but i think it hindered me when it got catchered out and left there or knocked out.

When I ran this deck I always want to try adding in Mismagius for Magical Trans, but I could never find anyone at league who had it :/
