Manectric/Rough Seas Skeleton List:
Pokémon: 10
Strategy:
The goal of this deck is to use M Manectric EX's Turbo Bolt attack to power up other attackers, such as Seismitoad EX (for Grenade Hammer), Zapdos, or other Manectrics. Rough Seas is a great way to heal your Pokemon. If 1 of your M Manectric EX's gets damaged, you can retreat to another one, and heal 30 damage from the benched Manectric every turn until it's fully healed. Seismitoad EX is always great to play in decks that can. Zapdos can take several hits from Donphan due to Rough Seas and its Fighting Resistance, all the while sniping them on the bench with Random Spark. This deck's main issue is its low damage cap, 150. It can struggle to take the last knock out. It also has trouble with barrages of non EX Pokemon, due to the somewhat high Energy costs of most of the Pokemon. But against the right deck, its constant healing can be a real pain.

Manectric/Fighting Skeleton List:
Pokémon: 9
Strategy:
The goal of this deck is to use M Manectric EX's Turbo Bolt attack to power up Landorus EX, then use Landorus EX's Land's Judgment attack and discard Energy to knock out Pokemon in one hit. Then you can use Turbo Bolt to get the Energy back onto Landorus EX. The deck has many more options besides that though. M Manectric EX does enough damage and has enough HP to handle itself for the whole game, especially against Yveltal EX. Landorus EX's Hammerhead and Hawlucha's Flying Press are also very strong attacks that provides early pressure. The deck can struggle to recover after discarding too much Energy, and is very weak to anti-EX cards, such as Head Ringer. But it's high HP Pokemon and potential early pressure can be very scary for a lot of decks.
