Strategy: This is designed to be a lock deck. Glaceon and Jolteon provide the bulk of the lock. Shaymin and Hoopa provide essential setup. Glaceon is the main attacker, stopping M Scizor, M Mewtwo, M Gardevoir and M Rayquaza. Jolteon is mainly for Volcanion matchup, but is useful for situations where the Megas try to attack with the base stage. The Glaceon/Jolteon lock is very weak to Pokemon Ranger and Supporter lock isn't readily available in the meta. So I went with Vileplume to lock out VS Seeker, limiting the number of Pokemon Ranger turns. Forest of Giant Plants helps bring in Vileplume ASAP. Magearna is solely for the Mewtwo matchup, as Rainbow Energy works with the its ability to make Damage Change much less effective. Umbreon + Ninja Boy is for surprise KOs due to Rainbow Energy.
Ninja Boy is the crux of the deck. A lot of decks are able to get around the basic Jolteon/Glaceon lock by switching out, but Ninja Boy is the perfect retaliation. This is also why I opt for Rainbow Energy, as I can keep a Rainbow and DCE on my Eeveelution and swap between them. Due to Vileplume, I don't have to worry about hammers discarding them. So the only threat to them is M Scizor, though he's incapable of doing damage to Glaceon. Parallel City is to keep the Shaymins safe. Delinquent is to further enhance the lock.
My main concern is that the deck is too clunky. I'm not very familiar with the TCG (I play on sims) so I may be missing some staples. I've also never ran a Vileplume deck before, so I'd really like help with the trainer list.
