This deck looks awesome! I agree, Yanmega is super fun to play with. The little mini-game of always trying to keep 4 cards in hand keeps the deck interesting. I built something similar yesterday to test on PTCGO before I buy the physical cards and was 6-2 with it so far even beating an all fire type Volcanion/Flareon deck.

I am definitely still playing around with it (like I totally forgot to put Unown in there even though I was just playing a Vespiquen/Night March deck before rotation). I can't remember the exact build but the list was something like this (before I cut 1 Combee and 1 Vespiquen for a couple more Trainer cards):

Pokemon: 25

• 4 Combee AOR
• 4 Vespiquen AOR
• 4 Yanma STS
• 4 Yanmega STS
• 3 Yanmega BREAK STS
• 2 Spinarak AOR
• 2 Aridos AOR
• 2 Sceptile EX AOR

Energy: 9

• 4 Double Colorless Energy
• 5 Grass Energy

Supporters/Items/Stadiums: 26

• 4 Professor Sycamore
• 4 Judge
• 2 Lysandre

• 4 VS Seeker
• 4 Ultra Ball
• 4 Acro Bike

• 4 Forest of Giant Plants

Might wanna add in a Octillery for Shaymin or replace them completely, it really helps in getting those precise hand sizes.

I wanted to try Ariados in here, but I'm waiting for my foils to come in the mail.

No, Shaymin is a necessity in this deck. The purpose is to go off as fast as possible, so Octillery wouldn't cut it. Also, having 4 cards in hand to attack isn't very hard to acheive.

Okay then, although most Yanmega Break decks use Octillery.
