Out of curiosity, why is Twins in there and not more Switch, Junk Arm, or N?

Indeed an excellent question. I recommended the same exact thing.

It's hitting the fatal flaw that most Yanmega decks have, which is that you're catering the deck to it. Add to that you're not running nearly enough Catchers to make use of Yanmega's full potential. You face serious issues if you happen to face a Vileplume or Gothitelle since a lot of your pokes are sitting targets at that point, and a lot of the commonly run pokemon now have 110-130 HP, so you want to be pulling them to the front if you want any hopes of a knockout.

The reason is because this deck is usually very quick to get something powerful in play. However, if the draws I'm getting leave me with nothing useful, Twins is there to get Rare Candy + either crobat or chandelure, although 1 Twins rarely comes in handy. Any other advice than getting rid of Twins?
