    Hey friends, this is my first post. I was just wondering what you guys think of my deck idea. Sorry if it gets a bit wordy as I explain my thought process in putting it together.

    3 Cobalion EX
    3 Yveltal EX
    2 Darkrai EX
    1 Registeel EX
    2 Klinklang (Team Plasma)
    2 Klink

    6 metal energy
    6 dark energy
    2 double colorless energy

    4 Professor Juniper
    3 Colress

    3 Skyla
    2 Pokemon Fan Club
    2 Rare Candy
    1 Master Ball
    1 Ultra Ball
    2 Professor's Letter
    2 Dark Patch
    1 Superior Energy Retrieval
    1 Sacred Ash

    4 Hypnotoxic Laser
    1 Virbank City Gym
    1 Shadow Circle
    3 Muscle Band
    2 Lysandre

    Alright, so Cobalion and Yveltal are my main strikers, Yveltal being the heavy hitter and Cobalion being my ideal starter because he quickly attacks (and discards special energies), as well as being able to cut through effects (ie. Pyroar) with a Steel Bullet and deal a fair amount of damage.

    Darkrai allows for deck mobility due to his ability and decent offense if needed, plus I love being able to beat up on the bench. Ideally I'm not attacking with him though. Registeel is kind of just for fun, plus he can really be a great closer late in the game as benched Pokemon tend to have multiple damage counters already on them, or even as a quick starter with a DCE.

    Klinklang serves as the protector of my metal types against dangerous opposing EXes (and isn't a complete slouch if I'm forced to attack with him).

    Rare Candy and Sacred Ash, along with Skyla, Master/Ultra Ball, and Pokemon Fan Club allow me to hopefully get Klinklang up and running with minimal slowing (thinking of switching the Sacred Ash and Superior Energy Retrieval for a couple Super Rods). Shadow Circle combats Fire types obliterating my Metal types (and all other weaknesses for that matter, though I'm considering just using a second Virbank), while Muscle Band, Hypnotoxic Lasers, Virbank City, and Lysandre keep my opponents on their heels. Dark Patch gives the instant ability to get a Yveltal primed for attack.

    Sorry for the long post. Thanks for any insights. Add me as a friend on the online TCG, same name as here.
     
    I can only suggest using rainbow energy in this deck. I didnt really look at the rest of it.
