Pokemon: 16
Strategy: Tyrantrum and Golem are set to be the two main attackers. The ideal setup is to get Landorus and a Pokémon on the bench for T1. Ultra Ball is used for discarding a few energy, allowing Landorus to accelerate energy onto the bench with "Power Cry". Fossil Researcher provides a reliable way to get Tyrunt out, and Korrina is able to grab a [F] type, usually a Golem or Geodude, and an item.
Tyrantrum's "Chew Up" does a nice 60, plus 90 more if the defending Pokémon has any special energy attached. Most decks run some type of special energy, so this will be useful most of the time. This can be set up by T2, but more likely T3. Golem's "Explosion" can do 150 for [F][F][C][C], and with Protection Cube it doesn't take the 100 recoil damage. Strong Energy on either of these two can boost their attacks up to 170, which takes out some EXs. With a Muscle Band on Tyrantrum, it can hit for 190 with only 3 energy, which is strong enough to take out Yveltal EX after Resistance is factored in. Lastly, Training Center adds 30HP to Golem and Tyrantrum, bumping them up to 180HP.
Overall, the strategy is to get either Golem or Tyrantrum out as fast as possible, preferably by T2, while using Landorus to accelerate energy. Obviously there are probably a few holes in this deck (such as the inability to deal very well with VirGen), so I'd appreciate any input!
