I've been testing this deck for a couple of weeks now and had enough success to encourage keeping on with it. However, I know it could be very much improved, and so I turn to you.

STRATEGY
Cleffa is the ideal starter for the obvious reasons. The goal is to quickly get as many Ampharos set up as possible as to start forcing my opponent to add 20-30 damage for energy attached. Ampharos' attack, Lightning Crush, is also the main attack for the deck, hitting for either 80 or 40 and an energy discard, depending on a flip. Pidgeot is a card that works great in theory - for a Double Colorless, it attacks for 20 and the cost of each of the Defending Pokemon's attacks is 2 Colorless Energy more during the next turn. In practice, though, 20 damage just isn't nearly enough, and so I need to replace it. It just doesn't work, and ends up sitting on my bench. Rotom was actually chosen for his attack - 20 times the number of energy attached to any of my opponent's Pokemon. Alph Lithograph was thrown in for the heck of it. I'm not married to the idea of Rotom, although it has held its own in my testing.
Lost Remover is absolutely great in this deck. It makes the match up against Cincinno and Zoroark, a popular deck in my area, fairly easy. The rest of the Trainers and Supporters are relatively self-explanatory, I think.
So far, I've had a pretty good run with this deck. When it gets set up right, and it usually does, it's super annoying to play against. I've probably won more than I've lost with it, but I know it can be way better than it currently is. So what should replace Pidgeot, and what other tweaks could you recommend?
