i was thinking of a sort of lock deck involving drapion sf/umbreon ud

my skeleton pokemon list:

3 smeargle
3-3-1 drapion x
3-3 umbreon ud
2-1 blaziken fb x
2-1 uxie
2 mesprit
1 azelf

i know that there are a lot of pokes, what should i add/remove? i know i'm maxing out seekers/ssu's
 
What's the strategy here? I don't see a huge advantage to using Drapion with Umbreon (unless I'm missing something?).
If you did this, you could probably take out the Blaziken line. It's not really covering any weaknesses...
 
it pretty much locks pokemon with powers/bodies with mesprit and umbreon, and high retreat cost pokemon are forced to suffer active with blaziken fb's luring flame and drapion's scorpion grapple. my energy count looks like this:
4 sp. dark
5 basic dark
2 fire
2 rescue
 
That sounds like a good line (although you may want to take away some basic dark). Watch out for Jumpluff and Gyarados, those cards sort of beat this deck.
 
i'm not too worried about jumpluff - it's not big in my meta and i can ko it with blaziken. but, gyarados might be a problem. what should i use for that?
and what do you think my t/s/s would look like?
 
out of those i'll play honchkrow if i need it because gyarados isn't too popular in my meta right now
any other suggestions? especially concerning the t/s/s
 
Honchkrow isn't that great. Every Gyara deck would have a way of SSUing or Seekering the Magikarp back up and then Regi Move-ing or Junk Arm-ing it back to the discard to get the OHKO on Honchkrow.
 
Pokémon Reversal, to get high-retreat cost 'mons out there
Seeker, just because it's awesome
Bebe's Search/Pokémon Communication/Pokémon Collector/Luxury Ball, because they're staples
Palmer's Contribution, to get Pokémon/energy you need back into the deck (sometimes Umbreon will have a good matchup, sometimes Drapion will. This is so you can get more of what you need)
Vs. Seeker: this card is really underplayed in my mind. Getting a free supporter to use again can work wonders.
