Regigigas Donphan

Just a deck to test out whether Donphan & Dragons is still viable in this format:

Pokemon: 14
4-4 Donphan Prime
2 Regigigas EX
2 Zekrom (non-EX)
1 Mewtwo EX
1 Shaymin UL

T/S/S: 34
4 Pokemon Collector
4 PONT
4 N

3 Switch
4 Pokemon Catcher
2 Pokemon Communication
3 Heavy Ball
4 Junk Arm
3 Lost Remover
1 Super Rod

2 Battle City

Energy: 12
8 Fighting Energy
4 Double Colourless Energy

Strategy:
Get Donphan out as early as possible and start building up counters onto Zekrom and Regigigas, while using catcher and earthquake to take cheap prizes. Donphans on bench take no dmg due to ability. Zekrom acts as a Tornadus counter vs. MTC. Donphan cannot be OHKO by Zekrom EX unless with Plus Power, receives very little dmg from Mewtwo EX due to only having 1 energy at any time. Regigigas EX comes in late came with dmg counters to clean house. Shaymin UL can move energy around so that Donphan can OHKO Zekrom EX with its second attack. Battle citys are used to knock out Skyarrow Bridges to disrupt MTC.

My metagame is abundant with MTC and ZEM decks, which is why I've mainly created my deck to deal with these two decks.

Very rough draft of the deck, hoping you guys can help me make it more competitive.
 
You could add a shaymin EX for finishing and because it is a good attacker. Instead of zekrom, I'd use reshiram and kyurem because there are more pokemon weak to it. I wouldn't use battle city because I don't really like it much, but its just a preference. I'd add another mew two EX if your metagame has a lot of MTC. I'd cut the donphan line by 1-1 since it would usually be sufficient. I'd use some switch since donphan's retreat cost is 4. Some ssu or seeker would also be good with shaymin.
 
I would:
-2 N (You really don't want to go down to 1 or 2 Cards late-game unless it hurts your opponent more than you)
-1-1 (Donphan- 3 is more than enough. 4 hurts consistency.)
-2 Battle City (You don't need this. It helps your opponent too, especially after an N. You need the space for Juniper.)
-1 Lost Remover (Two is enough, and you can to Junk Arm for it.)
-3 Fighting Energy

-10

+3 Rainbow Energy (more Damage for guys)
+4 Juniper (AMAZING Draw)
+1 Cobalion (Murders Kyruem)
+2 Pluspower (moar damage)

+10

You may want to find room for 1 more PlusPower. It helps alot. You can swich a PONT out for it if you need too.
 
-1-1 Donphan
+1 Mewtwo EX
+1 Shaymin EX
-2 Battle City
+2 Tropical Beach
These are all for Jirachi's reasons except IMO Tropical Beach is a better draw stadium then battle city.
