Alright bros, I posted a raticate EVO BREAK list a few threads back and have slowly refined it into a killing machine, someone clued me in to slowking as the ultimate energy disruption partner for raticate. This is actually pretty similar to a list that was posted on pokebeach today so I'm not an absolute madman for thinking raticate was a good card.
Basically, your Jolteon is your main attacker, but can be swapped around with float stone raticates to remove key energies. Slowking can move energies off of key attackers and it's not uncommon for me to get both of them in one game which basically means their dogshit bench support is going to end up with 5 energy on it. Best thing is, you need energy switch or reset to get the energy off of them and very few decks run those cards, as opposed to putting the energy in discard where it can be recovered with retrieval/super rod/brock.
Between raticate, 4 hammers and funking, most evolution cards simply don't get the energy to be able to attack, and naturally basics can't do shit to Jolteon without ace trainer. Raticate cleans up in the late game when they've exhausted their special charges and have 3-4 special energy sitting in discard.
