  3 Lysandre
  4 Muscle Band
  2 Pal Pad
  2 Random Receiver
  2 Max Potion

Total: 56

Strategy:
This is a pretty generic Lucario/Landorus deck, but I wanted to try and make use of the Mega Lucario. I understand that I probably won't be using the Mega every game, but I think it's a great way to get around Pyroar. So they main idea is attack with Lucario EX or Landorus EX to apply pressure, get energy back with Furious Fist Landorus. 3 Lysandre for picking off specific Pokemon. Max Potion to heal (mostly Landorus EX) thanks to low energy requirements. I have found more use for Scramble Switch, than any other ACE SPEC. There are 4 slots left that I am having trouble filling. I hate Garbodor as a Pokemon so I'd prefer not to use it as a card, but will if it is the obvious best choice. I find that Mewtwo EX (And Deoxys EX to a lesser extent) are the bane of this deck, so should I run a few copies (along with DCE) myself for Mewtwo Wars? One idea I thought would be fun (rather situational though) is 2 Shadow Circles and 2 Rainbow Energy.

Hi Koga,

Nice deck. There are two options for the final four slots: Garbodor and Raichu. The former should be used if Mr. Mime is common in the local metagame while the latter works well versus Darkness decks that are still potent even after the rotation. Personally I would also cut one Lysandre and one Fighting Energy to fit two Catcher. Personally I am still not entirely sold on M Lucario since he slows the deck down and makes the psychic weakness worse. Please let me know how he worked out for you.

Random Receiver is going to hit supporters you don't want, swap them for 2 more supporters.

If you run Garbodor as suggested above I'd recommend taking out the mega lucario as it won't be needed but if you don't run the Garbodor then keep it in as you need a counter to Pyroar.

I was afraid of that. If I run Garbodor, how many should I run and Float Stones? And I'd rather not play Catcher for preference. I don't like flipping coins because it's never 50/50 for me. It's more like 25/75.
Should I add Ultra Ball to get Garbodor or Raichu out faster?

Also, Sid, taking out Random Receiver, which Supporters should I add? Shauna?

Or maybe run 2-2-2 Garbodor + Float Stones (4 free sots and the Random Receivers)

Hi Koga,

Since the deck runs M Lucario Ex a smaller 2-2 evolution line should be sufficient. In case Mr. Mime is not common use Raichu instead of Garbodor since he can attack while the former one is a bench sitter. You will also need to run two Ultra Ball to search out the evolution line. Another option would be to run a small 2-2 Lucario line from Plasma Storm.

Stick to Random Receiver. This card works real well in decks with Korrina since none of the twelve supporters is a dead card in this deck because Lucario Ex can bail the deck out of a lower hand size on his own. Three Lysandre is overkill in this deck and also conflicts with the Random Receiver combos in this deck. Two should be more than sufficient since you also runs two Pal Pad. Loose one Lysandre and one energy to fit in two Focus Sash and use the remaining four slots for either Lucario from Plasma Storm or Raichu.
