Strategy:
Togekiss - Fairy - HP130
Stage 2 - Evolves from Togetic

Δ Evolution: Once during your turn (before your attack), you may play this card from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokemon even if that Pokemon was put into play this turn or if it's your first turn.

Ability: Serene Grace
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you play this card from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokemon, you may use this ability. Look at the top 8 cards of your deck, then choose as many basic Energy you find there as you like and attach them to your Pokemon in any way you like. Shuffle the remaining cards back into your deck.

[Y][C][C] Fairy Wind: 60 damage.

Weakness: Metal (x2)
Resistance: Darkness (-20)
Retreat: 1
Use Serene Grace to get some nice energy acceleration on turn 2-3 (Or turn 1 if you can use Rare Candy for Δ Evolution). Brilliant Arrow will turn that into a ton of damage and Aromatisse + Max Potion you can heal of 2HKOs. Togekiss will be a target so scoop up and az can pick them back up. Pretty simple!
 
^ Actually, it doesn't look like you can use Rare Candy on the first turn or when you immediately put Togepi into play. Regardless of Delta Evolution, the Rare Candy states that it cannot be played when you put down the basic Pokemon or on your first turn.
 
I'm not sure how much I like the idea of Togekiss in this deck. Even with this card's first iteration you could grab 10 cards, and it still only bagged you a couple energy. Very rarely did it get more than two or three, which Xerneas can supply in about the same amount of time as it would take to get Togekiss into play. Not to mention that using Togekiss requires the use of Togepi, who is a lot frailer than Xerneas is. That said, the potential for a big energy drop is there, so I don't think Togekiss is entirely worthless here.

The question, then, is how can you maximize your chances of a big haul? I think you might want to consider skipping Rare Candy altogether and using Togetic. It's easier to search out Pokemon than items, and Delta Evolution means you can still get Togekiss into play without waiting a turn. Battle Compressor will also help a lot, as it can thin your deck of non-energy cards. You might also want to consider going with a thinner Supporter line since you're already running VS Seeker, which has synergy with Battle Compressor.
 
I'd recommend waiting for the new Trainer cards before adding Togekiss. Xerneas at the moment is preferred as it is more reliable.
