>>31859303insane consistency on top of constantly building lategame. it's either 2hkoing turns 2-4 or flat oneshots anywhere after that
no hard counters in the meta, zero checks to it outside of niche jolteon/regice(lol)
fighting has zero representation in terms of relevance, meaning it doesn't have auto-loss consequences like mega mewtwo vs stupid gardevoir/rainbowroad shit
doesn't lose to a stadium being played like mega ray, doesn't rely on gimmicks like bees, flat does not give a single fuck about ability denial from garbodor
probably the best max elixir deck in the meta and will be for a very long time. each poke-piece has very low 'impact' when lost, due to xp shares or simply dipping 2 darkness energy per bench so that you aren't eggs-in-one-basket blown out like mega mewtwo or mega decks in general
basically, the only real 'check' to it is the deck itself - darkrai mirrors literally come down to whoever had the first turn, or best initial setup in terms of energy production from yveltal recursion
oh yeah. there's the fucking infuriating -20 resist vs psychic, which dongs all over mega mewtwo matches. 90% of the time, they'll be hitting 170s on an unbelted darkrai, 10 shy of a knockout and end up losing because of it
deck is fucking stupid-strong and they're still not printing any reliable methods against it
