    Okay, so, in line with Profen's Project Crobat, I'm thinking of re-working my own Crobat deck, which I last used in May 2013, so it needs an update to the current format. Attacking with Crobat is the primary focus. Here's the list:

    3-0-3 Crobat PLS (Zubat PLS)
    2 Mewtwo EX
    1 Victini NVI 15/101 (bench-tini)

    4 Rare Candy
    3 Pokemon Catcher
    3 Ether
    3 Pokedex
    3 Ultra Ball
    2 Hypnotoxic Laser
    2 Level Ball
    2 Random Receiver
    1 Switch
    1 Tool Scrapper

    3 Skyla
    3 Professor Juniper
    2 N
    1 Cheren
    1 Cilan
    4 Virbank City Gym

    1 Computer Search

    9 Psychic Energy
    2 Double Colorless Energy
    1 Prism Energy


    As I stated above, it needs a lot of work and was never very successful when I ran it.
     
    What is the victini for? i feel like fire damage isnt that great to add in something like that. Especially since your deck just doesnt have enough basics to consistantly get out 4 on the bench for V-Create.

    Either way i would suggest quite a bit of changes.

    -2 Virbank City Gym (Probably never need 4, let alone 3.)
    -2 Hypnotoxic Lasers (Its kind of redundant with crobat. I understand because i did that the first time i made this deck. But its just a waste of cards.)
    -3 Pokedex (Cycled out)
    -2 Random Receiver (Okay if you didnt have bad supporters to draw into. Imo its best in sableye decks)
    -Cheren, Cilian
    -1 Prism Energy
    -1 Victini
    - Computer Search
    -1 Psychic Energy

    +2 Tool Scrappers
    + Dowsing Machine (in theory, allowing for 1 more of each trainer card)
    +2 N
    +1 Juniper
    +2 Double Colorless Energy
    +1 Lunatone (To replace Pokedex, if not take out Ethers)
    +1-1-1 Crobat (The middle step really helps incase you get item locked and it makes your deck more consistent)
    +1 Meloetta LT
    +2 Silver Bangles

    Otherwise you could try building it a more Plasma heavy deck.
    2 to 4 Deoxys Ex.
    3 Colress Machine
    4 Plasma Energy

    Though to be honest, the plasma energy is no substitute for DCE. Might be better to just run DCE and no Deoxys.

    Victini was a counter for something, but I can't remember what. I think it was Cobalion since it had a Psychic resistance and was common in my research of my metagame.

    I'll give those changes a try against a few friends to see how much more quickly and consistently it plays before trying it at a league.
