Rayquaza EX/Eelektrik

Hello Guys, and Girls, DSJ here needing help with my RayEels decklist for states. My specific states is this weekend (the 16th) and I'd like to do well because if I don't, I have to devote less time to Pokemon and such. Now, onto the decklist!

Pokemon: 16
1 Rayquaza DV
1 Victini with V-Create
1 Zekrom
1 Raikou EX
1 Keldeo EX
3 Rayquaza EX
4 Tynamo NVI (40 HP)
4 Eelektrik NVI

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 32
1 Energy Search
1 Max Potion
1 Computer Search
2 Super Rod
2 Switch
2 Ultra Ball
3 Level Ball
4 Pokemon Catcher
2 Bianca
2 Colress
2 Skyla
4 N
4 Professor Juniper
2 Skyarrow Bridge

Energy: 12
8 Lightning
4 Fire

Strategy: Set-up Ray and Eels and sweep for 180 a turn every turn
The only problem I seem to have is with discarding stuff that I could use later
Critique and Thanks for any help! EDIT: Added 2nd rod and took out ultra ball, Also am trying Computer Search instead of Dowsing Machine
 
you probably dont need 3 level ball, so +1 super rod for recovery, also, raikou Ex is a bit out dated, so +1 Rayquaza Dv, it is a great starter.
 
To help with resource recovery, a 2nd Super Rod would be helpful. Your Tynamos and Eels are huge Catcher targets. Honestly, I'd suggest dropping the Raikou EX for the Super Rod.

Also, in my version of this deck, I run Reshiram over Victini, because a Victini start is not great, has lower hp, and could possibly be donked. On the other hand, opponents half to think before attacking a Reshiram whose Outrage attack can be a deterent at times. Reshiram can also be used to counter Klinkklang decks effectively.

I also dropped my DrV Rayquaza from my deck. It was just not that effective. Ray EX is more than enough to 1HKO Black Kyurems. I'd suggest you add an Energy Retrieval so that you can immediately get a needed Fire energy from your discard pile. These will be prime Hammer targets.

I'd also suggest replacing the Dowsing Machine with a Gold Potion (or a Scramble Switch - great for a surprise attack and also getting your active Poké back to your bench too). You already have strong card draw support and you may find that damage relief may be more critical more often than card drawing.

Other than these few thoughts, your build is solid. Hope these comments help.
 
I think Rayquaza DrV is pretty good in this deck, 40 damage for one energy is amazing, as well as the fact that it is not an Ex. Also the slim posibility to discard energy with its attack.
