so far quite good with 7win out of 11games. 2lose out of the 4loses because in the need of completing quest :P
well against water, leaf, fire, thunder, etc is good since i could instant a lot of their pokemon with gengar n trevenant attack. but against magearna its a bitch considering i cant instant her with gengar attack.
(i think i could still instant with gengar attack if i use hex maniac during that turn, which i dont have in deck)

i could think of some improvement but due to the number of card i got is limited i cant really check it. like combined with gardevoir with 2psychic energy bonus or with mew(normal one from xy evolution) but it take a lot of space n doesnt seem to be played nicely. any one can gve some more pointer?

My friend runs a similarish deck in standard right now and it's a bit of a hit and miss deck, it definitely is more suited to EXPD. I'll do you a quick list of what I'd play in it.

You want Lysandre because you can start sweeping off via Gengar after hitting everything on the bench with Trev Break. The XY Trev gives item lock which is beyond useful in any format and you can get it turn 1 via Wally. Jirachi EX is there to get Wally out via it's ability. It can be searched for via level ball or ultra ball which means you can get it turn 1 pretty easily. The biggest threat this deck has in STND is rough seas, however it's such a lesser seen card in EXPD that you can probably miss Delinquent out in this deck.

The BKP trev remains because he's an effective slow down against Toad, Yveltal and NM.

well thats why i use hoopa sometimes it could help to set with rocky helmet.
if i got ace spec rock guard i could aim n kill each time get attacked.

but at end of the game kind of hard to set the deck since u can only rely on whatever pokemon left in field or thats all to it, some deck is using paralel city(forget name) the one make pokemon into 3 in bench.i thought to combine with combee that get more dmg for each pokemon in discard pile but wonder whether my energy go 6 only

Even if they only have 3 benched, if any of those are EXs you're gonna take double prizes. You don't need to take 6 prizes, you just need to clear their bench out.

Trev Break will hit everything for 3 dmg counters, Gengar knocks out anything with 3 or more damage counters. You don't need to worry past your second attack, Gengar will do the rest :)

pity on tcgo wasnt possible to watch replay bif only i could show u what i mean.
normal ex deck like yanmega/ raticate or green ninja that i met yesterday could show how hard to clash at the end of game. really close jst because he lack energy or card to reduce his hand to 4. really2 lucky.

Some match ups you just wont win unfortunately
