    Recently i was informed that there will be a new format, BW On. Meaning Black and White base set to Furious Fist. Anyway the deck revolves around Dragonite Ex from Furious Fist.

    Bust In: When you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench, you may move as many basic Energy cards as you like from your other Pokémon to this Pokémon. If you do, switch this Pokémon with your Active Pokémon.

    Jet Sonic: (G)(G)(E) 80+
    You may discard an Energy card attached to this Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 40 more damage.

    Pokemon:
    4 Dragonite Ex
    3-3 Altaria DRX
    2-2 Gabite DRX

    Supporter:
    4 Juniper
    2 N
    2 Shauna
    2 Cassius
    1 Lysandre
    3 Roller Skates

    Trainer:
    3 Level Ball
    1 Ultra Ball
    3 Muscle Band
    3 Hypnotoxic Laser
    2 Virbank City Gym
    1 Super Rod
    1 Scoop Up Cyclone (ACE)
    3 Max Potion
    2 Startling Megaphone
    1 Pal Pad
    1 Professor's Letter

    Energy:
    5 Grass
    3 Electric
    3 Rainbow

    Either way the idea is to use Dragonite's ability to get into the active and pull energy to it. Use Cassius, Max Potion, Dragon Call, and Scoop Up Cyclone. This will heal Dragonite, shuffle it into my deck, back into my hand, or pull one from the deck.

    Gabite's ability allows this deck to set up more consistently and allows easy access to Dragonite Ex when needed.

    Altaria, Muscle Band, and Laserbank to deal up to 110 extra damage. Hitting for 190 without energy discard and 230 with energy discard. Meaning it can OHKO even Mega Evolutions if it needs to.

    I cant decide if all the ways of healing are needed. If some would be better than others, or what my supporter count needs to be. I'm going to do some testing. But if anyone has any comments or suggestions, let me know.

    Actually the format will likely be PLS-on, the day 2 format is BLW-on, so that means this deck will be used a good 20% of the time, if you choose to play it.

    But, it seems like a solid idea, but just a question, why rainbow energy?
    It isn't basic energy, so it cannot be transfered and it hurts the Pokemon you attach it to, and since you will only be attacking with Dragonite EX, which is basic, so why not use the prisim energy, which is allowed in the BLW-on format.

    Though a quality deck, it could be improved upon vastly, as it is the first Dragonite deck.
    I will enjoy hearing about this deck at tornuments.
