ok, well the strategy is pretty straight forward. set up chandelure as fast as possible to start using its flame burst atk. for one energy it spreads 90 damage; 30 to the opponents active and 30 to two of their bench pokes. if you setup quick enough you can get a quick and easy k.o. on an opponents 30 hp tynamo or cleffa which would hurt them bad as far as setup or even ohko an opponents active celebi. that extra 30 damage comes in nice when it put ex pokemon within ohko range of reshiram ex's brave fire atk. to help setup with reshiram some, i added exp share so it can soak up some energy from fallen chandelures. whats so nice is that chandelure only needs one energy to do alot of spread damage. to help a little against say mewtwo ex, its second atk works nice. 80 damage for burn and it saves itself a little time by discarding all energy attached to itself. burned tower also works nice in a combo with nintales. im basically looking for peoples opinions on the deck and whatever other tips anyone can give to speed it up / improve it. i keep playtesting this deck vs my zekeels and it has a hard time setting up most of the time; but can get some good shots in here and there. what seems to stall this deck the most is when my opponents pokes have eviolite attached to them. hitting someones active for 10 damage while taking a beating doesnt work too well lol. thanks for any help i can get guys.

One of the better ways of playing Chandelure is to pair it with Mew Prime. What you'd want to do is See Off a Chandelure to the Lost Zone so Mew Prime can use its attack. The key benefit to this strategy is that Mew Prime is a basic Pokemon so it's much easier maintaining the Flame Burst barrage as you just need to set up a basic pokemon instead of a Stage 2 which becomes hard late-game. It also opens up alot of space for techs. The downside being that Mew Prime only has 60HP so without some disruption based cards to slow down your opponent then expect Mew to get KO'd every turn. Though you could use that to your advantage and use Black Belt or Twins.

EDIT: Eviolite still poses a problem but there's very little you can do except Pokemon Catcher/Circulator around the pokemon.

This idea unfortunately is quite costly as Mew Prime isn't cheap (13$ a piece on Troll & Toad)

while mew prime is an option, i feel if i were to include him i would have to re-work my whole strategy and basically make it a mewbox deck. which is really funny bc my friend has a mewbox deck that i was play testing against yesterday. lets just say i was taking prizes pretty easy in those matches.
