This deck is incredibly greedy, both in its lack of Pokemon, and its lack of energies. If you accidentally begin a game with only an Unown and not enough card search to assemble your first Lucario, you can easily be doomed from the start. That said, when you do manage to get your pieces assembled, we can come out of the gate swinging, hitting like a truck on turn 2.

It's easy to start a game seemingly not having the pieces that we need. Luckily with our Unowns, wheel effects, and other cards that let us dig and search for Pokemon and energies, we are often able to surprisingly assemble the things we need in turn 1.

In the version that I referenced, I noticed that it was too easy for me to not have the energies I needed, and too easy to not get my hands on a Lucario.


Further considerations for the future:
Evosoda (Generations)  allows us to tutor a Lucario onto a Riolu on the bench
Computer Search (Base) allows us to tutor anything - epecially a Professor Sycamore (XY) 
-N is a risky option, forcing our opponent to draw cards in hopes to get more hits off our Captivating Poké Puff (Steam Siege)
