Usual Volcanion EX build.
1 - Flareon EX cuz transfer energy from something became useless.
1 - Entei for colorless rayquaza.
1 - Ninja Boy can always change ur active (ex.: volcanion baby -> flareon ex, volcanion baby entei).
3 - Lysandre for babysitting (fast trubbish OHKO).
3 - Escape Rope for babysitting too and remove contidions from active.
1 Olympia for retreat and conditions

I'm trying this lists for a few weeks and it's doing well on the tests/training, but suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks!

Nice list.

I think a 3rd Lysandre is excessive. Consider replacing one with another Stadium or Assault Vest (for Entei); 1 Parallel City is woefully insufficient, IMO. Also, with 3 Escape and 1 Olympia, consider replacing 1 Float Stone with another Assault Vest.
 
One of the biggest things that I see right now is the lack of Fisherman and Trainer's Mail. Is there any reason to run Acro Bike over Trainer's Mail?

Just a personal choice. Trainers Mail is great too. But many times acro bike saves me with an energy. (not to mention that your opponent doesnt know the card you chose).
About Fisherman: I did not even try but I will soon! But many times the energy retrieval has worked well.
 
I like running both Energy Retrieval and Fisherman. Fisherman can be recovered and reused if need be unlike Energy Retrieval.
 
I really like Energy Reset since it takes the energy from your bench back into your hand, which helps you Steam Up late game
