Prism Energy is only good if you're running multiple techs in the deck. I.E. Victini 15 AND Terrakion because you don't want 3 kinds of energy in your deck. It cripples the consistency. Even with Energy Exchange.

If you are running one or the other, 2-3 Fire or 2-3 Fighting is better than Prisms due to the rising popularity of Lost Remover. You should also run 2-3 Energy Exchangers.
Cilan should never be ran in this deck. Ever. Just don't do it.

Same thing with Pokemon Collector. It should only be ran if you are running Victini 15 so you can use his attack faster and you should only run 1 of them. Pokemon Collector with Victini 15 actually helps with your consistency in certain match ups, namely Durant. Otherwise Collector is simply not needed in this deck.

Eviolites are good but not needed in this deck, I initially ran 3. Then 2 and after more and more play testing I cut them completely.

The point of this deck is to get quick and cheap prizes while switching preferably always having a full or near full Big Basic as your active. Eviolite does not help accomplish this. Also, one of this decks worst match ups is Magenzone/Eels and Zekrom/Eels. Every attacker in those decks can OHKO every attacker in your deck, even with Eviolite. Thus, Eviolite kills your consistency in that match up.

Reasoning? Don't just spout stuff off with out any real reason to why except for "They need it"
Yeah, Regigigas can block the recoil from his first attack with Eviolite and do 80. But guess what? Tornadus can do the same thing with out the extra tech and Hurricane's ability lets you power up a second Tornadus, Regigigas or whatever tech you are using (Terrakion for example)

Tornadus doesn't really need it either. As I mentioned before pretty much everyone is using Dynamotor Variants and all the attackers in those decks can OHKO Tornadus for free so Eviolite is useless.

What is the other deck that's getting a lot of play right now? Durant. How is Eviolite helpful against Durant?
Oh yeah, we'll see ReshiBoar and the occasional Tyram. Guess what? Even with Eviolite their main attacker can OHKO Tornadus. And you want damage to be on Regigigas so you can utilize raging hammer.

Mewtwo EX is going to OHKO Mewtwo EX regardless of the situation due to weakness. Eviolite doesn't help.
Celebi prime is too frail even with Eviolite so attaching it to him would be pretty much pointless. Same with Shaymin EX or any other tech you put into the deck like Victini 15

Eviolite is not needed in the deck because it defeats the purpose of the deck. The point of MTC/Purple Leaf is to get fast, and cheap prizes with Tornadus by hitting their weak basics T1 and catching in their weaker pokemon, basics and worn down Big Basics as the game progresses. Eviolite helps accomplish none of those goals.

it doesnt hurt as a "one of" card eviolite is the difference between a ohko from strong volt/brave fire with a plus power after regigigas uses giga power to hit itself for 20. ontop of that it also offsets tornadus taking damage from terrakion and reduces 70 damage to 50 damage making terrakion needing to 3 shot it. eviolite doesnt help ALOT but it doesn't hurt to just have one either if you dont need it, it can always be junk arm fodder.

great continue to play it without eviolite while ur losing to ppl playing reshiphlosion ill be beating them
 
I think you could utilize a Tyrogue in here. Lets ya kill tynamo easily and can be a sacrifice in order to put on of their pokemon into OHKO range.

Eviolite is extremely useful in CMT. I've tested it myself and it protects your Celebis from getting sniped by Darkrai easily. Other than that, it makes your attackers harder to KO. After playing countless games with CMT I can honestly say Eviolite is too good to pass up on.

Also, you don't need 4 Celebi. I only run 3, and I think I could even get away with 2. You're not going to need 3 celebi Forest Breaths switching around in a single turn; usually getting only 1 or 2 Celebi can last you the whole game if you play carefully enough.
