Zeraora, Medicham and Rayquaza are an amazing team. Using Radiant Alakazam, Zeraora V and Vstar, Medicham V and Rayquaza Vmax, you can snipe your opponent's bench empty. Use Boss's Orders to KO Manaphy or other vital pokemon of your opponent. Any ideas to improve this deck?

I'd add Rapid Strike Energy (Battle Styles) even if it doesn't involve the types here, but it's great to have Medicham be able to attack in one energy attachment, and Zeraora in two. On the opposite side, Rapid Strike Scroll of the Flying Dragon (Evolving Skies) fits perfectly, as it snipes, and uses the correct energy types.

I just realised that this isn't standard, so I could go full-expanded for suggestions, but I won't lol.

I don't think rapid strike energy is necessary, the amount of Flaaffy's will do. Had rather put something in like speed energy. Using rapid strike scroll was my first idea, until I found out about Zeraora. I'd rather put more Bosses in to counter manaphy and other cards. Am stuck though with the bench space it uses, hard to get 2 Rayquaza's, 3 Flaaffy's and a Radiant Alakazam on your bench. As avery can, in that case, let you discard quite some pokemon. Had been thinking of Milotic, but that fills my bench up too.

You could add the new Lava Basin, it adds to the energy you can discard for Rayquaza and also gives you consistent damage counters to move with Alacazam.

New Lava Basin? Can't find it. You mean Magma Basin or Mela? Maybe you can send me the link of the card.

I'm sorry, I was confused by the word 'new'. I think you didn't read the cards carefully enough(had to learn it myself too). Magma basin only works for fire pokemon and radiant alakazam can't move your damage counters, but only your opponent's.
