Early game attack with Reshiram EX. Eviolite is to help Reshiram EX survive if you flip tails, making it a lot harder to be revenge ko'd. Heavy Ball makes it easy to get Emboar and Magnezone, Pokemon Communication is just for if I ever need Magneton or Tepig. Thinking about adding Cilan and more Catcher. Also thinking about switching the 2 Eviolite for 2 Victini.
 
You need Darkrai EX in there, that's what will make the deck so viable in my opinion. I think it needs at least 1 more catcher. My suggestion is:

- 1 Eviolite
- 2 Switch ( You'll have darkrai)

+ 2 Darkrai EX
+1 Catcher

Also consider put 1-1 RDL and/or mewtwo ex.
 
Yeah, Darkrai EX would work great but I would need Darkness, and it doesn't come out until May (I think).
 
When Darkrai EX is released, you should add him. You can also add Rainbow Energys (I think) instead of those Darkness Energy that are only useful for the retreat, since Darkrai body says any kind of Darkness Energy.
Also, you can try to add RDL, since against Mewtwo you win the games with 2 Attacks if you use RDL.
 
^ I agree with Dream To Kill, RDL can be amazing against any EX or Legend so you should definatly add him.
 
I thought about RDL, but then not only would I need to find room for him but I would need to add cards for the whole concept of getting cards back from the discard pile. Also, RDL would only be able to OHKO Mewtwo, but Regigigas, Zekrom, and Reshiram would all be able to OHKO it.
 
It is great as a late game finisher. Yes, they could 0HKO it, but if you use RDL smart you take 3 prizes with 1 attack. Now tell me if that's not worth the space.
 
The problem is RDL could only take those 3 prizes against Mewtwo. Against any other deck, it would just immediately be return ko'd by an EX. It's still the same extra amount of prizes as it used to be.
 
Not....quite. The best way to do it would be to get a cheap 30 damage on the EXes somehow, then bring up RDL and finish them off. Obviously, the best way to get that 30 damage is Tyrogue, because its a basic, requires 0 energy, has free retreat, and a 50% chance of them not getting the KO on it on their next turn. The problem is that if Tyrogue wakes up, you have an even prize exchange (RDL KOs EXes for 3, EX KOs Tyrogue and RDL for 3) but you are usually losing more cards (at least 7). Another problem is that if an EX has an Eviolite attached, RDL + Tyorgue misses the KO, and then you've got trouble. Overall, I think its easier to just try and KO 3 EXes with Magnezone than it is to use Tyrogue+RDL and hope for flips and draws to go your way.
 
That's exactly why I don't want to play RDL. It doesn't KO a single EX other than Mewtwo, and it gets ko'd by almost every EX.

EDIT: Depending on how popular Mewtwo is and if this doesn't test well against it, I may add 1-1 just for that matchup.
 
Doesn't RDL get 4 prizes against EX because of its ability? In that case, it seems definatively worth it.
 
Bump. Took out a Fisherman for another Eviolite to help Reshiram. Thinking about switching the two Eviolite for 2 Victini because Victini can be searched out more easily, but it has a 25% chance to fail.
