I've seen a few posts about a terrakion deck that won the VA state championships. it seemed like a fun deck, so I've had ago at building my own version.
It was based on 2 sample lists I found randomly on google (terrakion/EXP share, halfway down the front page) :

and

adjusted for personal play style and cards I had.
3 terrakion NV
1 cleffa CL
1 smeargle CL
1 thundurus EP
4 Juniper
2 PONT
3 N
1 seeker
1 black belt
1 copycat
1 collector
1 energy retrieval
1 super rod
2 Skyarrow Bridge
2 Catcher
2 plus power
3 revive
3 heavy ball
3 energy search (to become lost remover when I get them)
4 EXP. share
4 Switch
3 Junk arm
9 fighting energy
3 lightning
basic strategy, load up energies on to terrakions, using EXP share when needed to hit for 90 + every turn. Thunderus is a personal add-in, to deal with tornadus's resist. Use smeargle and cleffa as needed to bait retaliates and hand refreshes
In a meta of ZekEels/MagEel (90%+ at VA states) and EX pokemon, this would seem to have a significant advantage.
It is a very new deck and has only had a single event to prove itself, but it seems to be one to watch, as a potential lead for an anti-meta deck.
what do you guys think of this deck? does the idea work in a wider metagame?
