Yeah. A dark flavor for this deck would be pretty good since Yveltal can accelerate to Mewtwo.
That's definitely true. If Mewtwo becomes popular that'll be one way to keep it in check.
I disagree. Crobat adds another level of damage to the deck that it really misses out on otherwise. I don't think Golbat is gonna be enough to be competitive, but we'll see. And yeah, Sceptile gives Mewtwo a hard time.
Sure. What I meant was that healing 60 damage can save you from getting 2HKOed. Instead, you would be able to survive the second hit and retaliate with Damage Change.
In terms of techs there's nothing I can think of off the top of my head. Ideally, you would want a Psychic-type who can potentially hit for big damage for low amounts of Energy. Meloetta LTR actually fits this bill perfectly: If Mega Mewtwo has five Energy on him, Psychic is a OHKO (220 damage). Unfortunately it's not legal for Standard and there is no substitute for it. Mega Mewtwo thrives on Energy, so decks with low Energy costs will do well against it.
Well yes but think about it, one Golbat Combined with Unwavering Blade is 50 to someone on the bench in addition to the 110 to the active pokemon. Another look at Gallade is to go expanded and use dusknoir. Deal 110 and spread it around so several pokemon take lots of damage.Yeah.

Thanks for commenting, everyone! Keep them coming.
Crobat's damage isn't unimportant. It lets you spread to multiple targets multiple times and that 30 damage can really add up. 20 + 30 + 30 + 110 will OHKO Pokemon-EX. Like I said, only time will tell if Golbat will be enough but I don't think it will be. As for Dusknoir, that might work, but if you're going to play Expanded then you can just play Crobat.
sure did. It was corrected by staff. Forgot it was 20+, not 20x.
Sorry, I forgot to answer this question. Parallel City is for discarding Hoopa-EX and Shaymin-EX from your side of the field because they are worthless after you drop them. Your ideal Bench should be two Mewtwos and Garbodor, or maybe one Mewtwo and two Garbodor if you're fighting Dark Dragons. You should only consider discarding Garbodor you're fighting against Mega Rayquaza and only if they have Ninetales in play. Forcing Mega Rayquaza to take 2HKOs the entire game can really give you some breathing room. It's unfortunate because 150 damage isn't enough to OHKO anything except Shaymin-EX in that deck, but hey. Two prizes is two prizes.
There was a premium article that claimed that Clawitzer could attach any Energy but after looking at a Japanese Flash Energy and comparing the text for Special Energy to the text on Clawitzer's power, it's clear that Clawitzer can indeed only accelerate Special Energy, which is a shame.
That's certainly one way to run it, but please don't run it with Garbodor, lol.
Assuming you are at full HP, Pokemon Center Lady turns every attack that does 130 damage or less into a 3HKO. Notables include unbelted Grenade Hammer, Chaos Wheel, and Jagged Saber.
Doesn't she rotate?
