Strategy:

I'm helping a middle schooler build a deck to beat his friends. (probably means that we don't have to worry about combatting landobats or garbotoad) Any ideas? Any glaring flaws? Anyway to improve budget without pulling away the exciting big bad lucarios or hard hitting power of machamps?

A few thoughts for your consideration:

• 
  -2 Lucario EX,
  +2 Landorus EX. Still one of the best attackers in the game today. Plus, it will also provide Weakness diversity.
  
  -1 Machamp. 3 is sufficient, IMO.
  
  -2 Crushing Hammer. You have a 50% of failing; plus, if you are Item-locked, you can't play it.
  +2 Machoke. This provides an alternate way of evolving to Machamp. Secondly, if you are Item-locked, the rare Candy's can't be played.
  
  -2 Rare Candy. Don't need as many because of Korrina and Machoke.
  +2 Hawlucha. Awesome, free-retreating Poke that's terrorizes opponents' EXs.
  
  -1 Korrina. When I ran my version of this deck, I felt 4 were just too many.
  +2 Professor Juniper/Sycamore. More card draw power.
  
  -5 F
  +4 Strong. For extra damage output.
  
  -1 Escape Rope
  +2 Fighting Stadium. For extra damage output on EXs.

Hope you find these comments helpful.
