Ways to return energies back to the hand? (Snorlax X)

I've been playing around with a Snorlax X idea for a fun deck to play at league, and possibly try at a BR if I get it working properly. Basically functions off of Snorlax X's Exercise attack. Getting energies from the deck isn't a problem, but I'm trying to consider all possibilities on ways to get them back to my hand once I've exercised them for healing purposes. I use the RR snorlax with the body, not the one with the free attack to get energies back (can't afford to waste an attack)

Before it's mentioned, yes, I run Fisherman and similar trainers to help get them back. I'm looking for other ideas as far as pokemon to help support the energy recovery.

Currently, I'm using Starmie from RR and running water energies, to get those back after exercising. Its not bad, but I just want to find the best possible combination. Pikachu used to be a good idea, until he rotated. The types of energy these pokemon get back is irrelevant, since snorlax can function off of anything. It just has to be a way to get them back to the HAND, not re-attach.

I'm thinking Starmie is the only thing currently legal who can do this. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Snorlax's main potential is unlocked through what i call "Snorlock". yes, i first introduced it to my group so...

Using snorlax RR's Pokepower, You make snorlax fall asleep while filling your hand to 6 cards. Now the opponent pokemon can't retreat until snorlax wakes up, which could be forever....meanwhile snorlax can still attack and do 50 damgae. The ideal thing would be to lock them with a poison or confused status so they take damage while being stuck. Vileplume UD is good for this too.

About the Starmie idea, It's good enough since Starmie's a S1 and can be easily setuped. I think you're on the rigth track. I would also use Bronzong SF maybe to get the energies...
Fishermans should be enough to get energies back, if you are seriously that desperate just abuse energy restores =]

Good luck! I <3 Snorlock!
 
Yeah, I'm very aware of the lock potentials of snorlax's lower form. I definitely make use of that early game, and/or when I can't exercise. I've had a deck with snorlax that solely revolved around that before, but this time, I'm trying to focus on exercise.

Bronzong is something to consider. I run a lot of energies, but still, 2 extra free ones per turn couldn't hurt. Thanks for the input.
