ZPS with EP-on cards(Zekrom/Pachirisu/Shaymin)

Hi guys!

I'm thinking of creating ZPS with the release of some cool cards from the new set, Emerging Powers. I thought a skeleton line for Pokemon would look like this:

4 Zekrom BW
2 Pachirisu CoL
2 Shaymin UL
1-1 Eelektrik EP
2-2 Yanmega Prime

That would be a possible skeleton for me(feel free to comment on it). However, I need some ideas for the Trainer line, because Evolite sounds like a nice idea. Can anyone help?
 
In other words, including currently revealed Japanese cards that aren't definitely in EP, but will get a world release.
Also, I don't see the need in Eelektrik in this deck. Sure, he's a good card, but the point in ZPS is being able to take 6 prizes in 6 turns. Eelektrik is a Stage 1, so he will take at least 2 turns to put into play. It's easiest to have Zekrom donking or 2-turn donking, and not needing a lategame.
 
That sounds good. Thank you for explaining my mess-up.

Yeah, Eelektrik is alright, and eliminates the need to run Retrieval(if I run 4 Juniper/Sage's Training), but it is a Stage 1, which does take time to set-up. However, ZPS has just enough bench space, so I could fit it in. The ideal in-play scenario would look like this:

Zekrom active

Zekrom Benched | Shaymin UL | Pachirisu CoL | Yanmega Prime | Eelektrik EP

I'll think about it. I still need a solid Trainer line(or at least a skeleton T/S/S), so please help!
 
Ah, Yanmega is another Stage 1 that will take set-up time. :| I'm already mourning the loss of BTS. The deck really needs a booster so that you can get the stage 1s up first turn. At the moment, Stage 1 is the slowest stage if you consider Rare Candies. And if they're playing Archeops...
 
Eelektrikk is a no no, it can be catchered before it gets useful. (evolution)
 
1-1 Eelektrik is probably going to be useful. Any more, and they will clog up your hand.
 
If you run a 1-1 line of anything it's going to get catchered as a basic and the stage 1 will be useless for the rest of the game.

Can't be sure :p Have they mentioned it somewhere what it has? There's always surprises.
 
Honestly Elektrik will only drag down your consistency. The only thing good i see coming for ZPS from EP is Catcher, but that's an amazing addition to just about any non trainer lock deck
 
^ People are going to use Gatcher, even Japanese. Yanmega Prime have line 3-3 and much more Judges and Copycats and both of them about 4. Here people are playing too few of them.
