    1x Tierno

    2x Energy Retrieval
    2x Sacred Ash

Energy:

  • 14x Fire Energy
    2x Double Colorless Energy

Strategy:
Get a Delphox up with Emboar and Pyroar on the bench. Now you can use Inferno Fandango to repeatedly attach energies to Delphox. If you have 3 energies on Delphox it does 110. 4 energies would do 130, with 5 it would do 150. That damage can add up pretty quickly. This is the fire type equivalent of Keldeo Blastoise!
 
Hey there!

As of my own experience with my deck, I can tell you: Running 2 different stage 2 pokemon is REALLY slow... I think Delphox is a great attacker and have a nice ability too. For energy Acceleration we have blacksmith, so I'm not sure if I'd run Emboar. I would better put 3 or even 4 Pyroar since it's a game breaker for many match ups. Another fire-type pokemon I recommend is Reshiram (the one with outrage). This guy also can do lots of damage and it's a nightmare for Virizion decks.

For the trainer line, you should really run 4 Sycamore instead of 2 Tierno. You can afford discarding some cards since you have sacred ash, blacksmith and Pal Pad to get things back! Actually, one sacred ash and one pal pad should be enough. 3 Blacksmith is nice, you're going to need it. Wait... where is Ultra Ball?? You really need 4 of these, otherwise you're never getting your basic or evolved pokemon into play. Another supported needed is Skyla (instead of random receiver), so you can search for rare candy when you get the evolution in hand. N is one of the better cards in the format, put 3 or 4 of it.
And don't forget about ace spec card! Every competitive deck should run one, either dowsing machine or computer search!
Lysander is also pretty standard nowadays, very strong.

You can fill up the deck with the trainers above and leave about 10 Fire energy and 3 or 4 double colorless.
