I haven't tested this yet, I want to see what the general opinion on it is before I spend the money on the cards.

Pokemon - 18
3-1-2 Typhlosion Prime
2-2 Eelektrik (NV) (Free retreat Tynamo at the moment)
3 Reshiram
1 Zekrom
1 Reshiram EX
2 Zekrom EX
1 Regigigas EX

T/S/S - 28
2 Revive
2 Energy Search
2 Super Rod
3 Level Ball
3 Pokemon Communication
2 Pokemon Catcher
2 Switch
2 Eviolite
2 Plus Power
4 Juniper
2 Pokemon Collector
2 Sage's Training

Energy - 14
6 Fire
6 Electric
2 Prism

General Strategy: Get Ty Prime and Eelektrik on the bench and energy in the discard pile as soon as possible. Use a combination of both of their powers to get an additional 2 energy attached per turn (1 to a bench).

Trainer/Supporter Breakdown: Revive and Super Rod are to bring back knocked out Eelektriks/Ty Primes. Energy Search is to get energy in the hand to discard with Juniper. Level Ball, Communication, and Collector are to help get the Pokemon you need when you need them. Catcher and Switch are to get you out of a bad situation and/or put your opponent in a bad situation. Juniper and Sage's put energy in the discard pile. Plus Power is to aid Reshiram/Zekrom in knocking out big non-EX basics. Eviolite is to help the big basics stay alive a little bit longer.

Pokemon Breakdown: Ty Prime and Eelektrik are the "gravediggers". Reshiram and Zekrom EX attack constantly (with Ty Prime and Eelektrik) for big damage. Zekrom, Reshiram EX, and Gigas EX are backup attackers in case I don't have a Reshiram or Zekrom EX ready.

Energy Breakdown: Even amounts of Fire and Electric to have an even chance of drawing them. Prism can be used for either one.

Other Option: Take out 1 each of Reshiram, Zekrom, Reshiram EX, and Gigas EX, and put in 2-2 Lugia Legend. Also, take out 1 Fire, 1 Water, and 2 Prism for 4 Water energy. Manipulate Switches and retreating to do at least an every-other turn 200.
 
I don't see any Rare Candies, and I think you should even out your Sage and Juniper count.

-1 Super Rod
-2 Energy Searches (Better to just have energy)
-1 Revive
-1 Juniper
-1 Level Ball (Only Searches your Eels)
-2 Prism

+1 Sage's Training
+3 Rare Candy
+1 Fire Energy
+3 DCE

I think DCE has more use in this deck because it can speed up your attacks.

Overall this deck might have some potential, but it's hard to say because your focus is on two different things.

It will however be nice to swap a Zekrom and Reshiram out according to your opponents Weakness or Resistance.

Interesting idea!

You also should find some room for Junk Arms...
I'm not sure what else you should take out, but Junk Arms work wonders in this deck.

I completely agree with broncosboy. Since your running a typhlosion line with one quilava, rare candy is a must-have addition...3 level balls may be a bit too much as well. Otherwise, it seems like a good deck to test out.
 
I would take out Regigigas EX and put in Mewtwo and consider more than one. I would not run communication to. NEED JUNK ARM
 
Thanks for the input everyone! Yeah, I knew I was missing something when I put up the list. When I first posted, it only had 58 cards, so I quickly threw in another Level Ball and Communication.

Here is the current list (updated with input here and from friends). The only proxies right now are 1 Ty Prime, 1 catcher, 1 eviolite (should be coming in the mail tomorrow) and 1 collector.
3-1-2 Ty Prime
2-2 Eelektrik
3 Reshiram
1 Zekrom
1 Reshiram EX
1 Zekrom EX
1 Regigagas EX
(17)

2 PONT
3 Juniper
1 Pluspower
2 Communication
1 Super Rod
2 Rare Candy
1 Pokemon Collector
1 Revive
1 Eviolite
2 Junk Arm
2 Cilan
3 Sage's Training
1 Catcher
1 Rocky Helmet
2 Switch
1 Pokemon Center
1 Level Ball
(27)

7 Fire
5 Electric
3 DCE
1 Rescue
(16)
 
1 more Candy could be traded for the Pokemon Center. If you're looking to add a Stadium, add Skyarrow Bridge.
