SW Lugia Deck

When I first saw the preview scans for the new set Secret Wonders, one card that caught my eye was Lugia. 120 Damage per turn is unheard of for a basic, and so I decided to construct a deck based on his second attack (see spoiler below.) Here's the list I have so far:

Pokemon (16):

4x Lugia (SW)
3x Shuppet (HL)
3x Banette (PK)
2x Cleffa (NGen)
2x Articuno EX (FRLG)
1x Mantyke (DP)
1x Mantine (MT)

Trainers (29):

4x Super Energy Removal
4x Energy Removal
3x Fast Ball
3x Pokemon Tower (Nintendo Promo)
3x Gold Berry
3x Switch
3x Lanette’s Net Search
2x Energy Removal 2
2x Gust of Wind
1x Great Ball
1x Miracle Sphere Beta (SK)

Energy (15):

6x Psychic Energy
5x Water Energy
2x Double Colorless Energy
1x Holon Energy WP

Strategy: This deck is centered around Lugia. With all the different means of removing your opponent’s energy cards (10 energy removals and various attacks), you should be able to do 120 every turn, and if you can’t get rid of all the energy, 40 damage for one turn isn’t that bad either. Shuppet and Articuno EX are there to remove energies, and Banette is there just because it’s a fun card to use. The Mantine line tech, switches, and Holon Energy WP are there to reduce retreat costs so it is easier to switch between Lugia and the other Pokemon.

Spoilers:
Lugia lv.43 90 HP
Basic Pokemon (duh)
C Silver Wing 20: Flip a coin. If heads, choose an energy card attached to the Defending Pokemon and return it to your opponent’s hand.

PCC Psychic Destruction 120: If the Defending Pokemon has any Energy cards attached to it, this attack’s base damage is 40 instead of 120.

W: P+20 R: F-20 RC: CC

So, any suggestions? This deck is for Unlimited Format (as you probably noticed already) so tell me any cards that could make it even better. Thanks.
 
i wanted to play it with mightyena ex cause you can make them bring up one of their bench so its either one of their pokemon with an energy gets hurt or one without gets KOed.
 
That would be great for modified but in this deck I have gust of wind which lets you choose the pokemon to switch. You think I should use more gust?
