1x Magneton - BKT 53
2x Magnezone - BKT 54

The purpose of the deck is to get Raichu out as soon as possible with lots of recycling and drawing. Magnezone is my back up.

HMM... I recommend getting rid of the Raichu chain. Instead you can put Raikou BKT. Also, you should add 2 electric energies for consistency. Oh, and I forgot to add putting in a set of VS seekers. There is still some more tweaking that should be done on the overall profile, but your deck looks good....
Overall here are my suggestions
+2 VS seekers
+3 Pikachu EXs
+4 Raikou
+1 Professor Sycamor
+2 (l) energy
+2 N
+1 magneton
+2 magnezone
-4 pikachu
- 3 Raichu
-2Raichu BRK
-2 Shauna
-1 judge
-1 Giovanni
-1 skyla
-1 Bridgette
-1 evosoda
