i thought of a similar deck last year but it uncluded drapion v and donghan and it was a lost box

So basically you thought of a remotely similar idea executed entirely differently?

Love counter box decks, but this deck would probably struggle against high level Mew VMax players. Hitting for weakness Mightyena only hits 320. Mew Vmax has effectively 350 with Oricorio up, and can KO with Psychic Leap after recoil if they keep a Mew V on the bench. Mew has been running Lost Vacuum as well, so they can likely get around the Rocky Helmet.

I would either replace the Rocky Helmets with Choice Belt (way stronger card for this meta, btw) and tech in Drapion V because its a better and more consistent Mew Counter.

i have problem when opponent plays "Path to the Peak". Zapdos then needs 4 Energy Cards and the deck has only 8 and no possibility of getting back energy from deposite pile

That is a good point about Path. You could cut 2 Boss and 1 Forest Seal Stone to run a stadium like Collapsed Stadium (Brilliant Stars), Temple of Sinnoh (Astral Radiance) or Training Court (Rebel Clash)
