Strategy: Here's the scans for the Pokemon that will be used in this deck:

The idea of this deck is to use Victini EX's "Turbo Energizer" to load up Gothitelle for a powerful "Mindkinesis". Gothitelle may look like any other energy stacking Pokemon, but with it's ability it can disable the foe (as long as it's active) from using ANY item cards! After 2 Turbo Energizer's (without even counting the energy attached that turn) the Gothitelle can do 110 damage.

Raichu is a huge tech for this deck, as Yveltal EX will literally destroy Gothitelle. With Thunderbolt (or Circle Circuit if we have a full bench) Raichu can 1hit KO Yveltal.

Obviously the large amount of Evosoda's and Rare Candy's are to make this deck set up as fast as possible, Pokemon Fan Club and Emolga's Call for Family are to get basics like Gothita up, and Tool Scrapper is for the chance a Garbodor is set up before Gothitelle is (but after Gothitelle is up in the active spot, it won't be a problem because he won't be able place down any item cards (aka tools)).


One thing that'll definitely be added (once it comes out in Murica') is Training Center, that way Gothitelle and Raichu can last longer. Speaking of when Furious Fist comes out, this deck will basically crush any of the Fighting Decks that will be flooding up, so yeah, that's nice.
 
RE: Goth Chicks (Gothitelle/Swoobat/Thundurus EX)

You may want to take another look at Thundurus EX's attack again. You will only be able to attach the energies to benched Team Plasma Pokemon, which your deck runs none of (besides Thundurus). As an Yveltal counter, I would much rather go with something that could one hit KO it, such as Raichu. Running a stage 1 Pokemon for a 50% chance energy acceleration also seems very risky. Perhaps, add a Fliptini for increased success rate, or switch the Swoobat for more reliable energy acceleration. Both Victini EX and Milotic guarantee three energy cards for a relatively low cost (Victini EX only requires one energy to attack while you have to knock out Milotic).

I would also consider switching Kangaskhan for Emolga, they both do the same thing, but Emolga has free retreat, in case you would be hit by an Escape Rope.

Added Victini EX, Emolga, and Raichu line. Also changed Muscle Band to Silver Bangle.
