I've been having a lot of fun with this Dragonite ex deck.
Obviously requires Pichu in the 1 slot and dratini in back. However, even on hands where I have had pokemon in the wrong order and had a sub-optimal start, it can correct rather quickly due to pichu's energy ramping and the fact that pichu will usually survive at least one turn in most matches.
It's decently consistent as a result. Sabrina is really only there to stall early game if I need to disrupt the opponent's energy flow, since Dragonite's 180dmg is so large that I will almost never need to swap out opponent's pokemon to secure the win. Lyra into Pichu swap is busted with Dragonite, kek.
You win if you can get two attacks off with dragonite, and this happens more often than you think.
I'm open to suggestions, though. Maybe I don't need the tools. And it does lose to the dancing yellow bird. But fuck it, we ball.
