Sableye/Darkrai speed variant... HELP!!!

[whiplashxx]

This is the first deck i have constructed after the set rotation. I have watched videos of people using a Darkrai/Hypnobank deck, but they all lack in speed and flexibility (especially Garbodor decks). I would like to include a Garbordor line, but that causes too much bench congestion and negates Darkrai's ability.

My question is, how can I lock down the opponent while retaining my emphasis on speed?

Current Deck List:
3 Sableye
3 Darkrai
2 Absol
1 Exeggcute

3 N
3 Professor Juniper
1 Switch
2 Skyla
3 Cheren
3 Bicycles
1 Bianca
1 Computer Search
1 Tool Scrapper
1 Super Rod
1 Colress

3 Random Receiver
3 Pokemon Catcher
4 Hypnotoxic Laser
2 Verbank City Gym
4 Dark Patch
3 Ultra Ball
2 Dark Claw

10 Dark Energy

I would like to add in some Crushing Hammers and Garbordors, but idk.

wow this is the first good deck allready ive seen in a long time but i have to go now and i will help tomorrow

Garbodor might take too much away from your speed to be worth implementing, given that it'd render the main reason to use Darkrai completely useless.

Redacted list:
3 Sableye
3 Darkrai
1 Absol
1 Exeggcute/trubbish

4 N
4 Professor Juniper
2 Colress/Bianca
2 Skyla
1 Ghetsis/Trubbish

4 Bicycles
1 Computer Search
1 Super Rod
2 Verbank Gym
3 Random Receiver
3 Pokemon Catcher
4 Hypnotoxic Laser
3 Dark Patch/Float Stone
3 Ultra Ball
2 Dark Claw
3 Energy Switch

10 Dark Energy/8 Energy +2 Garbordor


I can't decide on what to drop to make room for Float stones and Garbordor >_>. Ideas on a finalized list?

 

[donavannj]

Why not consider dropping the Energy Switch, 1 Laser and 1 Catcher to make room for Float Stones and the Garbodor?

 

[whiplashxx]

I did just that! I still haven't finalized it, but here is a revised deck list:

3 Sableye
3 Darkrai
3 Absol
2 trubbish
2 Garbordor

4 N
4 Professor Juniper
1 colress
1 Bianca
3 Random Receiver

1 computer search
2 dark claw
3 Pokemon Catcher
3 Hypnotoxic Laser
3 Dark Patch
2 Ultra Ball
3 float stone
3 energy switch
2 energy search

2 Verbank Gym

10 Dark Energy

Thoughts?

He has 4 of them in there, Goatman.

Maybe swap Bianca for Cheren. She may be cute, but she's not going to get you more cards than Cheren in most cases. Unless you somehow are constantly emptying your hand.

I have to agree with that. Especially when using sableye. There are sure to have 2 cards in hand already from junk hunt with 1 bianca. Thats only 4 card draw at most. Assuming you have nothing else. Chances are you will have at least 1 or 2 cards more.

Though if she is a FA supporter i can understand. I have her in my main deck. Granted she works really well in my current beedrill deck, since i just destroy my hand most of the time.
