Strategy:
This is based off of the junior world champion's deck but I changed it to make it PCL-On and my own. It is mostly a standard Darkrai/Giratina/Garbodor but I added an umbreon ex and ninja boy for a surprise "end game" against megas.

This is a very nice build. I would possibly only suggest running -1 dark energy or float stone for +1 double dragon energy. I feel they work to good with darkrai's attack to not run 4 even if your only attaching to Giritina. Just max elixir the other pokemon or 1 Giritina if an energy is prized.
 
no problem. did you also maybe think of adding a hydragon ex? It helps get by safe guard and other dumb things like jirachi. it would also add a pokemon to attach a double dragon to.
 
I'm already testing this deck for next session. So far, i'm unsure of the value of Baby Yveltal. Whilst a non-ex attacker would be awesome, the 30 damage is unlikely to be significant in the next format with a likely emphasis on mega-evolutions and it's energy acceleration would be nil as it is likely to only survive a turn. I've also been giving energy switch a go, trying to mimic the water tool-box decks of this session with it's max-elixir+energy-switch engine to speed up attacks. Mixed results, it makes the deck a little slower. Don't know how significant Pokemon Ranger will be in the next format with Seismitoad gone so at the moment Hydreigon-EX IMO is a little better in combating Jirachi/Jolteon-EX etc. Also IMO Parallel City maybe a better stadium to discard bench/useless EX pokemon like Hoopa from your bench late game and depending on the meta, Faded town will add more damage than Reverse Valley, RV doesnt add a huge amount since Darkrai's damage isn't capped
