Pyramid evolution lines are kind of a big no-no. I'd suggest trying to pick your favorite evolutionary line, getting enough of that line to have 3 Basics, 1 or 2 of the Stage 1, and then 3 of the Stage 2, and then eliminate the evolutionary lines that you find to be less helpful, focusing more on the remaining Pokemon you have.

Then go out and find +3 Professor Juniper, +1 Bianca, +3 N, +4 Pokemon Catcher, and then cut out some of your energy. I need to know what sets your Pokemon are from to know if your 4 Plasma Energy are even worth it if Lugia EX is the only Plasma Pokemon you have.

Added and removed a ton of cards. Wanna retake a look?

EDIT: Added name of set each Pokemon is from.

i think you should drop the eevees if you only have jolteon and umbreon. At least when you get more trainers and supporters.

So should I add more eevee's? If I take em out I won't have a way to use Thundurous!

As far I as understand it, you can still use Thundurus-EX's Raiden Knuckle without any Plasma Pokemon on your bench. You just won't be able to attach an Energy from your discard pile to a Pokemon. And then there's Thundurus-EX's other attack, which can be used without using Raiden Knuckle.

Why not use single step plasma pokemon? Something like absol is pretty good. There aren't any electric plasma that come to mind that are any good. I want to say that just take out thundurus and build a dark deck.

I cant really see any real strategy with this deck aside from using thundurus to attach energy. What is your strategy? What is your ideal bench and what not?

The ability to move energy on your opponents pokemon is kind of interesting. But at the same time im not sure what it will accomplish. With catchers you can prevent a pokemon with multiple energy retreat cost from ever retreating. But then you would need some way of doing damage while you do that. You could use hypnotoxics and sableye to do your damage. Though with virizion, darkrai, and keldeo very popular in decks. This sort of strategy just wont work.

first you only need 10 to 14 pokemon and nowadays team plasma pokemon are bad cause plasma blast. second more trainers insted of plasma energy use 2 double colorless energy ok.
