*Loves Galvantula so much* The Galvantula in DE is just too hard not to make a deck out of.
Shhhh... Spoilers!
Galvantula:
Code: 
Galvantula – Lightning – HP80
Stage 1 – Evolves from Joltik

[L] Quick Turn: Flip 2 coins, this attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.
[L][C] Electrisilk: 30 damage. If the opponent’s Active Pokemon has no Retreat cost, this attack does an additional 40 damage.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1
Pokemon (17)
3-3 Galvantula DE (DE 42 Joltik)
4-3 Eelectrik NV
2x Zekrom
1x Mewtwo EX
1x Zekrom EX
1x Terrakion

Trainers (30)
2x Professor Oak's New Theory
3x N
2x Sage's Training
3x Level Ball
3x Plus Power
2x Eviolite
2x Switch
1x Super Rod
2x Skyarrow Bridge
3xJunk arm
2x Cheren

Energy (17)
9 {L}
4 Double Colorless
4 Prism


Stratagey
Galvantula
Galvantula tears through free retreaters, and is also epicly furry. 1 {L} 1 {C}, 70 damage T2.
Eelectrik
Easy. Energy acceleration. Never use to attack.
Zekrom
This big black dragon helps. He can dish out 120 quite easily.
Techs
Mewtwo EX- Counters anything with 40 T1.
Zekrom EX- A bulkier Zekrom that helps Eelectrik
Terrakion- Bulky counter to the BDIF.
 
Consider making room for Skyarrow Bridge. It'll let you hit 70 with Electrisilk more often.
 
Oh, ok XD
Knew it was missing something!

Tyrogue is pretty good in this deck, so take out Cleffa, not tyrogue. I think eelektrik would be great as an energy accelerator.

Tynamos, Solosis, you name it if it has 30HP. :D

Again Mewtwo can OHKO all of them with a DCE, Mewtwo is better than Tyrogue, because Tyrogue can also be OHKOd by Mewtwo, see, Mewtwo is better, especially against Zekeels and CMT.
 
how exactly is gavantula going to sweep? 80HP for a stage 1 isn't good in this format.
How do you plan to counter the genies/groudonEX/everything else than can hit for 80+ for 3 energy?

mewtwo EX also OHKOs with 2 energies on gavantula (the cost for electrisilk)

you also have way too much energy. I'd take out the 4 prism and 2 electric for 4 defender and 2 fighting to remedy both of these problems
 
Any good ZekEels deck would start using more 40 HP Tynamo, which forces you to have to drop a PlusPower if you want the donk. Solosis is pretty much dead too.

On to the deck, I find Galvantula so underwhelming. 70 damage for two Energy only if the Defending Pokémon has a free retreat is not that good, especially considering that Galvantula is a Stage-1 with only 80 HP. You're also never going to have time to charge up a Zekrom, Zekrom-EX, and Terrakion. You have no means of Energy acceleration; the moment you drop those two Pokemon they are sitting ducks, and your opponent can play around them.
