Expanded Trevenant Deck Help

Hey All I'm working on finalizing two decks for regionals and would really appreciate some help with them.

My first deck that I really like is this one below. I feel it runs rather nice.

Pokémon - 16

* 2 Shaymin-EX ROS 77
* 1 Jirachi-EX PLB 60
* 1 Mewtwo-EX (X Ball)
* 3 Trevenant BREAK BKP 66
* 4 Phantump BKP 64
* 4 Trevenant XY 55
* 1 Wobbuffet GEN 111

Trainer Cards - 32

* 1 Computer Search BCR 137
* 1 Trainers' Mail ROS 92
* 2 Wally ROS 107
* 2 N FAC 105
* 3 Dimension Valley PHF 93
* 1 Super Rod BKT 149
* 2 Lysandre AOR 78
* 3 Professor Sycamore BKP 107
* 1 Team Flare Grunt XY 129
* 4 Ultra Ball FLF 99
* 4 Crushing Hammer GEN 60
* 1 Xerosic PHF 110
* 1 Level Ball AOR 76
* 1 AZ PHF 91
* 1 Enhanced Hammer PHF 94
* 4 VS Seeker PHF 109

Energy - 12

* 1 Double Colorless Energy FAC 114
* 9 Psychic Energy GEN 79
* 2 Mystery Energy PHF 112

Total Cards - 60

My other deck I will make another thread for and that one is a dark one.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. This is my first real tournament and need some advice.
 
I too run this deck, but with a few noted differences. I run:
  • 3 Trainer's Mail and 3 Wally in order to enhance my chances of a T1 Item-lock 75%+ on the time consistently. If that is your T1 objective, then IMO, you will fall short with only 1 Trainer's Mail and 2 Wally.
  • No Mewtwo EX. IMO, this Poké is not needed even to KO an opponent's Mewtwo EX or M Mewtwo EX.
  • 2 Wobbuffet (Bide Barricade).
  • No Hammers. Personal preference not to rely upon flipping.
I recognize our deck strategies are quite different:
  • You cripple your opponent by depriving him/her of energy while spreading damage counters;
  • Whereas I spread the damage counters and will plan to take multiple prizes mid-to-late game. I also run 2 Dedenne (Entertainment) for setup help, as well as a counter to Yveltal (and/or Yveltal EX) which are the bane to this deck (and quite popular in my area).
Given your seemingly "heavy" commitment to opponent's energy deprivation ( 1 TF Grunt, 4 C and 1 E Hammers, and 1 Xerosic), consider adding a Delinquent for further opponent's hand disruption.

Also, consider adding 1 Parallel City in order to remove such "easy" 1HKO targets like Jirachi EX and Shaymin EX from your bench.


I hope you find these comments helpful.
 
Wow thank you!

I never actually considered Dedenne! I always have a hard time with dark decks. I get lucky at times but usually not. I want to play test that a little bit online then. I actually haven't had to use Mewtwo a whole lot where he has come in handy anyway. So I can see about dropping him for a second Wobbufet.

I will have to see where I can cut some things out. Maybe drop a 2 hammers or something to squeeze in Dedenne. and Parallel City. I just have this feeling at Regionals Dark will be all over lol.

Would you mind posting your list? I like the sounds of it.
