Considering they JUST got back into Pokemon news?
Speculation. Metagross is confirmed. Also, the set seems to be based around the Elite 4 and the Champion. What are the signature Pokemon for each of the E4 and the Champion? The 5 that FS listed. There might be a 6th (Wallace), but that one is far more difficult to guess as to which one would be used. For reference, the Pokemon of the E4 and Champion (*=highest level):
Sydney:
Mightyena, Shiftry, Cacturne, Crawdaunt, Absol*
Phoebe:
Dusclops x2*, Banette x2, Sableye
Glacia:
Sealeo x2, Glalie x2, Walrein*
Drake:
Shelgon, Altaria, Flygon, Kingdra, Salamence*
Wallace:
Wailord, Tentacruel, Ludicolo, Milotic*, Wishcash, Gyarados
Steven:
Skarmory, Armaldo, Metagross*, Cradilly, Claydol, Aggron
Metagross is already known, plus we have Phoebe and Sydney already referenced in the set through Stadiums. The thought is that each of the E4+Champion will be represented through their Pokemon-ex, as well as a Trainer of some sort.
I hope they reprint the most broken card of all time...

Dude... that's just insane! First attack will practically kill anything in the format! Sure, you sacrifice 5 cards, but there's cards that can help you recycle those cards back through.Salamence ex 160HP

Meh, just an average Pokemon. The two attacks don't compliment each other at all. IMO this shouldn't even be an EX.Claydol ex 120HP
Poké-Power Type Shift
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Claydol ex's type is F until the end of your turn.
[CC] Psychic Boom 20+
Does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.
[PPC] Shadow Crush 60
You may discard a P Energy card attached to Claydol ex. If you do, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.
Weakness: P
Resistance: none
Retreat: CC
The Body is... interesting, but not all that good IMO, especially since the attack doesn't have to do anything with the discarding, which it should IMO. There's just no synergy.Flygon ex 150HP
Poké-Body Psychic Protector
If Flygon ex is damaged by an opponent's attack, you may discard up to 4 cards from your hand. If you do so, any damage done to Flygon ex is reduced by 10 for each card you discarded.

Pass.Drake's Stadium
Any damage done to (C) Active Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Glacia's Stadium
Each player's (W) Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex) has no weakness.
The ex's are very disappointing, hopefully they'll at least have some nice artwork. I am just curious to see the new charizard
