Strategy:

The main strategy of this deck is to wall with Raikou while Milotic is used to build up energy. While Raikou by itself may be a little frail, its ability, Shining Body, combined with the new, albeit situational, Assault Vest lets it have access to bulk comparable to that of the traditional EX Pokemon. Combine that with Rough Seas healing any damage it takes over time, and it turns Raikou into a Pokemon that is difficult to OHKO or even 2HKO without Pokemon such as Vespiquen or Mega Rayquaza EX.

Flash Energy is here to prevent opponents from taking advantage of its weaknesses to ruin Raikou's walling ability. The Head Ringers are also used to force more situations against EX teams where Special Energies are used against me or to simply stall long enough for Raikou to build energy via Milotic. I may fall behind in the prize count when I'm using Milotic's ability to build energy, but Raikou's defensive ability along with Ace Trainer should help compensate for the cost of building that energy.
