I've edited your post to coincide with the rules! Next time, please put it in the correct format, okay? This is not the first time by far I've had to edit your posts accordingly, and it's beginning to irritate me slightly that you haven't even tried to use the template that is in the new thread text box and instead frivolously discard it. It's there for a reason, man! I'm considering issuing a warning next time, so please try to better your posts in the future. Also, please use proper spelling and grammar next time, okay? Thanks, dude! :D ~Kecleon

First of all you've listed 39 Trainers, 41; and secondly, you have listed 13 energy, not 12.

Following are some suggested changes for your consideration:
  • After building and playing this deck for a while, I've reduced my Darkrai EX count to just 2; because through my experience, I think Yveltal EX is really amazing. So, consider adding 1 more Yveltal EX, replacing 1 Darkrai EX.
  • At some point during most games, you will need to Junk Hunt, and you can't afford to have your sole Sableye prized... So, consider adding 1 more Sableye.
  • Consider adding an Absol or another Yveltal. Absol (a good, non-EX, Dark Poké attacker)has the ability to hit the "magic" 170 HP damage, and Yveltal is is a solid starter and has good attacks.
  • Consider replacing 1 Shauna and 1 Colress with 2 Bicycle. Bicycles can help with drawing (especially when you have a "dead" hand, can be searched with Skyla, and Junk Hunt'd).
  • Consider dropping 1 Ht Laser and 1 Dark Patch, and 1 D energy. Both Items can be Junk Hunt'd and you would still still have 3 of each to serve their respective purposes. I've also found 9 D energy to be quite sufficient, especially when you run 2 Professor's Letters.
  • Somehow, Skyla was overlooked and not included in your deck... Consider adding 2.
  • Lastly, consider replacing 1 Crushing Hammer with an Enhanced Hammer, because sometimes you may really need that 100% guarantee that you can remove an opponent's Special energy.
I hope you find these comments helpful.
