Teching for Electivire?

[Konaru]

Ok, so I'm trying to build a deck around the Electivire from Triumphant. the one that does 50 to each pokemon with energies on it. But I'm having trouble deciding on techs for it. I can't even think of where to start.
I figure I can make this speed oriented and run it like a ZPS, using Shaymin and Pachi to charge it up, but that might be too fast, as I want my opponent to build up energies on their pokemon, and thewy might not have anything up by then.
I was also thinking I could do something with Ampharos from HGSS and its Acceleration Bolt. but that might be too slow, as they might have energies, but also be fully evolved, to the point where it becomes to much of a hassle to KO them.

Thats about all I can think of, i couldn't even find another deck running Electivire to get an idea from.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

start by pairing it with smoochum. it lets you move one of your opponents energies to another pokemon so u can hit more,
also you can use jirachi to de-evolve their pokemon so that their hp is much less.

^Aipom works as well and it doesn't die to Tyrogue.

@ Dragon
Yeah, i found a decklist to get an idea off of, and saw the Smoochum. i love the idea.
I also like the idea of using Jirachi, but I doubt it would work well in this deck. It needs energy to supply its attack, and I don't see myself successfully getting it, what I would want to be, a minimum of three energy.
Unless you have an idea of how many energy I should run. in this beta decklist I have, I have about 15 Lightning and 2 rescue

Only one of the energies needs to be psychic on Jirachi, Jirachi doesn't de-evolve for EACH psychic energy. It de-evolves for the attack cost of a psychic and de-evolves for each ENERGY attached.

Wasting the power might be a thought crime, but as far as I know the thought police don't exist yet.

Dear Konaru,

I ran Electivire with Lanturn Prime while preparing for Georgia Roads. Took out the Electivire and just used the Electibuzz as I found that the juice was just not worth the squeeze for the Electivire. Too much weakness to fighting. It does not take your oponant too long to figure out that putting energies on his benched Pokemon equals death. Also, in the current format, I am workingon running four Zekroms and four Reshirams. Charge up my Outrage attacks and you will be dead in two turns while setting up my bench to use Outrage also.

@ theKnee, yeah, i figured that out while testing today. Took out 2 or three psychic energies.

@Imhotep,, i don't like defender. And I don't see the point in running it when my main weaknesses hit me for ~120. So I would need to have two defenders. that takes up too much room Imo for cards I might not be able to use correctly.
And I know what you're saying about the techs, but the only problem I've had so far, is getting Pachi out when I have two energies. If I can, i just attach them manually, because I won't have Pachi and Shaymin and 2 Energies.

Also, Made some deck changes. Editing the deck list now
