Personally, Pynk, I'd go with the Umbreon, Vamporeon/Glaceon, and Leafeon Eevee deck. Umbreon for the no Retreat Cost (or Espeon for no Weakness), Vaporeon/Glaceon so you can have 2 different types of attacks and effects (Also Glaceon is a Lv. X!), and Leafeon just for the level X and some attacks to speed up energy production with its PokePower. (Allowing you to play 2 energies a turn!)

I'd definitely just drop the Electrode considering you dont have any Voltorbs...(?) You wont need Uxie if you're running Volkner's, but some people will say to keep it in. I personally wouldn't count on it too much considering it takes up a spot on your bench for your techs. Drop the switches (Cause you'll have Umbreon's PokePower), 2 Poke-Rescues, Vs Seeker, and the Cynthias. Here is what the deck could look like:

Pokemon (19)
4 Eevee
2 Umbreon
1 Vaporeon
2 Glaceon
2 Leafeon
2 Baltoy
2 Claydol
4 Sableye (Overconfident)

Trainers (15)
4 Energy Search
4 Rare Candy
2 Great Ball
2 Premier Ball
2 Pokemon Rescue
1 Luxury Ball

Supporter (10)
4 Bebe's Search
4 Roseanne's Research
2 Volkner's Philosophy

Stadium (4)
2 Broken Time-Space
2 Dawn Stadium

Energy (12)
4 Dark
2 Special Dark
6 Water

Everything here should work out and play pretty fast in my opinion. If you can start out with the Broken Time-Space to evolve your Baltoys and Eevees. Then once you have the appropriate Pokemon in play, you can play the Dawn Stadium to keep your Water and Grass Pokemon healing for each Energy you attach (And as a bonus it removes all status conditions, too!) Umbreon for the free retreat, Leafeon Lv. X for the Energy production, and then you can just whomp on your opponent if you get everything out fast enough. Give it a try!

Hope this helps... If you'd rather stick with the original 3, let me know and I'll do my best to switch this around to fit your play style.

Here's a thought: why not replace the Claydol with Dodrio SV? Echo draw only gives you one card, true, but it stacks and continues even if you have more than 6 cards in your hand, and has a free retreat cost to stop your opponent dragging it out and keeping it there, as well as being colourless so that as a last resort it can attack (though you are in definite trouble if you are more than 5 turns into the game when you do this). And maybe switch out one of the 3 for Umbreon? Or lose the Broken Time Space, you only have Stage 1 pokemon and using the Devolution power allows you to evolve straight back on the same turn (it's devolving, not evolving so you only evolve once on the turn) so this stadium helps your opponent far more than it helps you. Does this help?

[Darkrai Si]

Good ideas, Mad. However, if I may, I was thinking if they kept in the stadiums, but took out the 4 Rare Candies for 2-2 Dodrio SV and take out 2 Sableye for 2 Umbreon. I'd say keep the rare candies and put in Dawn Stadium, but that would only help out Vaporeon. Maybe in a future release set they'll put out a stadium that aids Eevolution cards? Would be nice. =D

[allthesesirens]

id personally just go with leafeon as a deck on its own. the synergy between jolteon and flareon with leafeon is non-existent. and used with sceptile (ge) it can be a pretty tough deck to beat.

in fact with the new sceptile(leaf blast) that came out in arceus, the 2 sceptiles work very well together. and add in leafeon for added energy output, sceptile can pump out massive damage rather quickly.

[Darkrai Si]

Leafeon is an amazing card right now along with that Sceptile, but it is getting away from what she wanted to play originally: Staying in the lings of the original trio. Umbreon's ability is a necessity, though. Free retreat for all Eevolutions anyone?
