You could probably use 1 more Battle Compressor, and lower the count on the fighting energy a bit. I know lowering the count might increase the chance of not having much energy once you pull off a Maxie, but 10 with 3 strong is a little much for a low Pokemon count of 11.

If I've learned anything in the TCG it's that a Pokemon count and an energy count Have to compliment each other, otherwise you'll be dead drawing energy for a few turns. So overall just decrease the fighting type energy count to 8 or 7 and you'll be fine.

Another thing that I thought was good is that you have 4 T-Mail because you can bluff T-Mails, sadly you can't bluff seekers so that's a bummer.

The title of the thread is called: Maxie's Rampardos, anything Maxie or Archie is assumed to use Maxie Or Archie to grab a stage 1 Pokemon that is Fighting or Water from discard for a deck, it's just common knowledge.

Okay, but is it turbo rampardos, where you hit with rampardos from t1 onward, or buzzwole with rampardos?

The idea is to maxies out a rampardos by turn 2 and either put 1 energy to KO zoroarks if the opponent has them or use elixirs to try and take ohko's on basic EX/GX's with the second attack (which auto KOs basics)

This description is pretty spot - on except for the fact that Max Elixir only charges Basic Pokemon up and is used as fuel to burn (Or usable for Buzzwole GX).
 
I would run 4 strong. Only other mon that needs fighting is Lele, which can just retreat with a float stone if you decide to add that. Strong energy's damage boost is very helpful to all [F] types.
Get rid of the acro bikes. I understand that you're going for the Maxies, but you can just replace them with Float Stones, Choice Bands, etc. that you can also easily use.
I would either drop the elixirs, or find a way to get more energy, though the space is already too tight. Preferrably, I'd drop the elixirs and make room for useful trainers like Korrina, Cynthia, or even Virbank/Lasers.

I appreciate the input, but damage is not the problem when I can use the second attack. And I don't think I need anymore supporters.
