Can you post your list?
Really I found that 3-2 electrode line is enough

So this deck is actually extremely solid. It effectively shuts down all three dragons with near auto win match ups. I have yet to test against Truth and Goth, but it seems to me like Cobalion will tear them up as well. Unfortunately there's not much that can be done about the horrible PrimeTime match up. If you don't mind having one really bad match-up for the sake of other match ups this is THE deck for you.
What trainers do you guys think will make this constistant? Mine is really inconsistent. On a side note tropical beach works really well in this deck.

What would you guys think about a possible Magnezone Prime tech for Kyurem/Cobalion/Electrode? Potential consistency upper/Gothitelle and Truth counter that works well with Energymite (if you add rainbow or electric energies) but I'm not sure if it would be better than just using that space for draw support and DCL or Jirachi techs.
Run Terrakion or die, kids.
I tried Terrakion but still ended up losing to PrimeTime, and it beat Zekrom variants without it.
I think you should really forget about that it's from Japan and treat it just like a normal deck. As I said in my article's comments Magnezone gives the deck huge problems because it can't even 2HKO Magnezone Prime. However, the biggest problem of this deck is that even though it's very consistent when it comes to drawing and set-upping, Energymite is never consistent. You can win and lose games just by looking at your Energymites. Sometimes you hit huge pockets of energy and sometimes you hit 0 energy.
When it comes to energy you should either run a lot of Research Records or a lot of energy. 19 energy isn't even that bad in this deck. 15 is too few if you don't ran max Research Records. Shaymin is a great addition to this deck if you want some more versatility and in my testing I've found it very useful but this deck can survive without it.
I also think you should be concentrating on either Cobalion or Kyurem. When building this deck you should first decide which one you want to use as your main attacker: Cobalion or Kyurem. In the current metagame Kyurem is a beast and Cobalion is having problems with things like Magnezone and Reshiram but once again it all depends on the metagame. This decision should affect your energy lines a lot.
I must admit that I love how fast a deck like this develops in the hands of the western players.
Usually games would come down to Mega sniping off a Voltorb along with Electrode self destruct. Down 2 prizes on turn 2. Kyurem does attack on t2, but every time Magnezone OHKOed it.Down three prizes and down a lot of energy. Jirachi may be strong enough to sport a come back though. I haven't tested with Jirachi yet.
everyone does know that you cannot get rainbow energy out of the discard with Jirachi right.
at least 3-3 Electrode is needed. I tried 3-2 in my Nuketown deck and it does not work because if 1 is prized or gets discarded when you blow up, it can get pretty bad.
I never want to blow up more than once and even if one is prized I can use fishermen to get it back under extreme circumstances I think 3-2 is perfect using that strategy.
Also cobalion wouldn't two shot magnazone if you havnt attacked with kyrum yet, I think kyrum solves that problem.
