I've been altering my deck since Fates Collide has been introduced and haven't looked into Steam Siege yet(if any cards help this at all?), so this is what I have.

I recently luckily pulled 2 Shaymin EXs and I finally do have Ns so any suggestions on how to alter this deck to make it better would be much appreciated even though this deck is kind of far from the usual with my Mew inclusions.

This is with post rotation in mind.


Current Deck:

Pokemon (11)


2 Magnemite
2 Magnezone
3 Raikou
3 Mew
1 Jolteon EX


Stadiums (2)

2 Rough Seas


Items (20)

2 Level Ball
3 Ultra Ball
3 Trainers' Mail
2 Professor's Letter
3 Energy Pouch
2 VS Seeker
2 Rare Candy
1 Super Rod
2 Switch


Supporters (16)

2 Lysandre
1 Brigette
2 Professor Birch's Observations
1 Steven
2 Professor Sycamore
1 Pokemon Center Lady
1 Delinquent
1 N
1 Skyla
2 Clemont
2 Fisherman


Energies (11)

11 Lightning Energy





What I've been considering before any input(definitely subject to change):

Pokemon (11) +1(12)

2 Magnemite (maybe I should +1?)
2 Magnezone
3 Raikou
3 Mew -1(2)
1 Jolteon EX
+
2 Shaymin EX +2(2)


Stadiums (2) +0(2)

2 Rough Seas


Items (20) -1(19)

2 Level Ball
3 Ultra Ball -1(2)
3 Trainers' Mail +1(4)
2 Professor's Letter
3 Energy Pouch -1(2)
2 VS Seeker +2(4)
2 Rare Candy
1 Super Rod -1(0)
2 Switch -1(1)


Supporters (16) +0(16)

2 Lysandre
1 Brigette
2 Professor Birch's Observations -2(0)
1 Steven
2 Professor Sycamore
1 Pokemon Center Lady -1(0)
1 Delinquent
1 N +3(4)
1 Skyla
2 Clemont
2 Fisherman


Energies (11) +0(11)

11 Lightning Energy



Strategy:

Standard ramp up Magnezone to give out energies to Raikou, or Mew if possible should Raikou/Jolteon be on the bench. Jolteon is my situational card for some EXs/basics or to buy time.

Clemonts+VS/Prof. Letters for the lightning energies along with Fisherman if need be. Energy Pouches are there to help me keep them should they be knocked out.

Other cards are pretty obvious why they're there, just getting my Magnemite/Magnezone or getting Supporters I need. Mew also helps with getting my Magnemite line up should I happen to start with it.

The Delinquent is just there in case and is more of a fun card for me.

Having never used Shaymin before I really don't know what to expect in terms of how it'll change up my deck so any advide is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ~
