Seismitoad EX / M Manectric EX

Any criticism is welcome. This is my first deck Idea and I am just looking to improve as a player.

Pokemon: 9

  • 4 Seismitoad EX
    2 Manectric EX
    2 M Manectric EX
    1 Jirachi EX
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 39

  • 4 Professor Juniper
    4 N
    2 Colress
    2 Lysandre
    2 Skyla
    3 Max Potion
    3 Switch
    3 Hypnotoxic Laser
    3 Virbank City Gym
    2 Bicycle
    4 Ultra Ball
    1 Rock Guard
    3 Manectric Spirit Link
Energy: 12

  • 4 Double Colorless Energy
    8 Lightning Energy
Strategy:

The strategy is to to put on and item lock with the Toad( if possible with rock guard on) and use max potion on them when they are almost dead. Afterwards, have Mega- Manectric do the clean up and put the energies back on to the toads with Turbo Bolt.

Modified to follow Deck Garage rules. --Mora
 
Try one or more Mewtwo EX. Also, Computer Search or Dowsing Machine may work better than Rock Guard because it can be taken off with Startling Megaphone. Also, try 2 or 3 muscle band to make Seismitoad to 50 instead of 30.
 
Rock Guard can't be removed from Seismitoad except for with Xerosic as long as Seismitoad is using Quaking Punch. You should probably find room for VS Seeker.
 
I promise I'm not trying to butcher your deck lol but here are the changes I would make...

-1 Max Potion (also consider replacing one of the remaining 2 Max Potion with an AZ)
-1 Switch (the previously mentioned AZ can act as the third Switch and second Max Potion)
-1 Ultra Ball (3 has always served me well)
-1 Spirit Link (2 ought to be sufficient)
-1 Lightning energy (11 is plenty, especially with M Manectric's recycling ability)
-1 Virbank City Gym (would rather have the 4th Laser)
-1 Rock Guard (love the idea, but I think Comp Search will serve you better to go get that crucial DCE/Laser/etc)

+1 Mewtwo (negates other Mewtwo and Lucario EX against Fighting decks)
+1 Laser (4 is better than 3 :D)
+3 Muscle Band (Toad is enormously more effective this way)
+1 Comp Search (as mentioned before)
+1 Tool Retriever (remove those pesky Head Ringers and Spirit Links)

Maybe drop a Bicycle for a Professor's Letter so you can pull off the 'Letter-Ultra Ball away the two energies-Evil Bolt-reattach' combo.

Good luck!

Ps. I just saw Mora's mention of there being no VS Seeker. Drop both Bicycle for 2 VS Seeker and worry about a Professor's Letter later, I guess.
