So this was just a random idea I had. I haven't tested it yet.


Pokemon
-------
3x Riolu PLS (76)
3x Lucario PLS (Dual Armor)
2x Mewtwo EX
1x Cobalion EX
2x Jamask PLF (55)
2x Cofagrigus PLF (Six Feet under)
1x Audino
3x Eevee
2x Flaeron
2x Leafeon
==
21


Trainer
-------
4x Juniper
3x Skyla
2x N
2x Colress
1x Ghetsis
1x Bianca

1x Dowsing Machine / Computer Search
3x Ultra Ball
2x Pokemon comunication
1x Switch
1x Escape Rope
2x Float Stone
3x Catcher
1x Energy Search
1x Tool Scrapper
------
13--15
======
28


Energy
------
4x DCE
4x Blend [Metal, Fight, Water, Light]
2x Fighting
1x Metal

Strategy:
Lucario can 1HKO Darkray, Thunderus and Kyurem. Cofagrigus to let your opponent draw a prize which means +30 atk for lucario.
Mewtwo to counter Deoxys if it comes in to defeat Lucario. (Just put a dmg counter from Cofagrigus on the deoxys.)
Flaeron against Klingklang and the upcoming Genesect.
Leafeon has a good 1-Energy-Attack which is awesome against Keldeo and decks with a lot of energys.
Cobalion is here because as a backup attacker. and there are so many spezial energys around..

what do you think about the idea?
Is Lucario worth it?

I've always loved the new Lucario. Time and time again I've seen that card turn the tables.. I like what you've done here and nice play on weaknesses, that's cool!

My version plays Lucario with Ditto's, energy switches, and an "out-rage" attacker. Wasn't so hot against Lando, since I would get donked easily with lasers. I felt Lucario really shined though! I would use the out-rage attackers on the wounded dittos, and come in for a "surprise" attack late game with Lucario to sweep the last few prizes (in theory). But it rarely worked... I probably made it bad.

Anyway... Back to your list. I really like it! I think I would personally go with Computer search to get the right special energy, and I would cut a bianca for another switch. I love switch! It's been amazing since base set haha.

I've tested it online against random players and my stands are 4-2 i think. I also doesn't have a Cobalion EX and a second Mewtwo EX. So I added 2 Landorus EX. I also added a Vaporeon for a Flareon. It can be searched with the Eevee attack and can hit Landy for 160. With Cofagrigus it's a 1HKO.

It's amazing what you can do with Lucario. If you start with an EX and it gets KOed you can counter with a Lucario and Cofagrigus:
60+ 3x30 + 30(Cofagrigus) = 180.
Or you can just catcher a Pokemon you've attacked with landy twice.


@PokePharos:
I think the idea to use Lucario as a surprise attacker is nice. But it needs a lot of space. (2-2 Lucario + 4 Ditto = 8 Cards).
You also have to get 3 energys or 1 Fighting and a DCE in one turn to your pokemon. Actually.. you could tech it in Blastois, Klingklang and in Eels.
In blastois you got the blend, which you're using for Black Kyurem,
in Klinklang you got the same thing and the ability to switch energys around
and in Eels you can run some blend energys too.
But as I said.. you need a lot of space for Lucario if you want to play it as a surprise attacker.


I got another idea with the outrage-attacker and the next format:
Seismitoad/Outrage-attacker/(Dusknoir)
There's that card in the next set called Silver Mirror:

Silver Mirror – Trainer
Item

Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to 1 of your Pokemon that doesn’t already have a Pokemon Tool attached to it.
If the Pokemon this Tool is attached to is not a Pokemon-EX, it is unaffected by damage and effects from Team Plasma Pokemon.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

So you can protect the pokemon you don't want to have damaged (like Keldeo or Dusknoir).
And your outrage-attackers get ready to attack.
I have so many ideas.. but the format is ruining them /:

back to the list:
I decided to go with Computer Search because of the special energys, too
I actually don't feel save with a supporter count under 13. Maybe I can change the vaporeon for a Glaceon to have free retreat with the other Eeveelution and the Cofagrigus (Since I don't want to sacrifice it at this time.)
But I feel save at the moment with 4 switching cards
