I would drop a lightning energy, a plasma ball, and a switch for a 4th N, a 4th Juniper, and a Professor's Letter, just to add some needed consistency to the deck. You should also mind that Thundurus-EX does a poor job against Yveltal without Deoxys, so you shouldn't really rely on it for that.

If I drop lightning energy I can't power up Dragonite so I need to keep those or at least 3 of them. Plasma ball is great for getting genesect ( a plasma pokemon) out for free. As for thundurus, I'd agree, but its mostly for energy retrieval and acceleration. 30+20 for a muscle band=50 x2 for weakness is still 100 damage and an energy attachment.

He said to drop only one Lightning. I actually agree with all of his suggestions. I would also recommend cutting back on Switch. Most of your Pokemon have very manageable retreat costs except for Dragonite, and you'll never have to play Switch to get out of any status because Virizion's Ability takes care of that. On top of all that, you'll be using Dragonite sort of like a Keldeo to Rush In to a fresh attacker, so I think cutting Switch down to two or three would be fine, and would give you room for more consistency cards.

Oh I see... I think I need some form of energy retrieval in here though...

Do you plan to rely solely on Red Signaling opponent's benched Poké? If so, what's your plan for dealing with Garbordor decks (no Startling Megaphone)? Otherwise, consider incorporating 1-2 Lysandre.

Why no Pal Pad?

Any concerns with a Pyroar matchup?

I count only 59 cards...

I'd suggest you add a Professor's Letter to help you search for energy, especially L energy.

You don't need 4 switching cards. You can do with 2-3. And you don't need 3 energy retrieval (even in last format most Virizion/Genesect decks only ran 1, maybe 2 super rod). I reiterate my initial suggestion of 4 N, as well as 4 Juniper. You simply don't have enough draw power here. A third energy switch also wouldn't hurt, but that's something you should test yourself.

Good luck.

like they said you only have 8 draw cards, looks very low for me
