Skeledirge ex is the support, Heatran V is the main attacker, Radiant Heatran and Entei V the alternates. Goal is to have a Heatran V and stadium (preferably Magma Basin) up, Skeledirge on the bench.

Magma Basin, Mela, Raihan allows you to attach the energies you discard to set up other attackers. Superior Energy Retrieval returns your energies to discard again to Skeledirge or to attach. There's a handful of other stadiums that are dealer's choice for what you might want, but a higher than average stadium count is important to turn on Heatran V's attack. What this deck could really use is Stadium Nav to help it find the Magma Basins. Maybe one day...

Why Radiant Heatran and not Radiant Charizard? Radiant Greninja could also work as draw, but it's important to have a single prize attacker. Overall, a nice deck. I'd also swap Old Cemetery for either another Mesagoza or Skater's Park. 4 Ultra Ball also seems excessive with Arven and FSS, so I'd swap one for a Nest Ball. Overall, seems like a fun way to use Skeledirge, even if it's not the most efficient.
