1 Scramble Switch

Energy
14 Water

I'm not entirely sure on whether or not I need to be running Energy Retrieval. I used to play a Reshiboar deck where this was a staple, but I'm not sure how much it helps here.

Scramble Switch seems useful to save prizes and switch to a new Keldeo, but I'm open to try other Ace Specs.

Lastly, I've seen a few lists with Kyurem NV in them, but I can't tell if it's because the card is important to the list, or to be sure you have a reasonable starter since without it there are only 7 basics.

Open to any suggestions on how to keep this deck consistent.

(Tropical Beach is not an option for the time being.)
 
Energy Retriveal helps a ton, imo it's a key card in Keldeo/Blastoise.
 
Well, I run 3, but 2 should be pretty ok too I guess? I just said that because you said:
"I'm not entirely sure on whether or not I need to be running Energy Retrieval."
 
Wouldn't plain Water energy be better than Energy Search in this deck? That way you can hit Water easier, and you won't have energy problems late game. I would probably take out the Energy Search for 1-2 more Energy Retrieval and 1-2 more Waters, and if you have the space maybe another Ultra Ball or Wartortle.

Thanks for the input!

I like the searches because they thin out the deck a little bit faster to prevent bad draws late game. Ill probably still drop one to add another Retrieval though. Another Ultra Ball could find a spot too.
 
I would run Computer Search or Dowsing Machine over Scramble Switch. Also, I don't really like NVI Kyurem in this deck, but you could make way for a Mewtwo Ex or two or bouffalants DEX
