Charizard ex additional attackers?

So, frankly, in the early game, Charizard ex is not an incredibly strong attacker. It does 180 damage if your opponent has taken no prizes. In terms of energy acceleration, however, it's a beast. 3 energies? This throws the doors wide open for other fire type attackers that have never been previously considered. My case in point: Delphox V. But Delphox V is too situational. Until your opponent starts taking prize cards, we need another attacker. And I'm not talking about Arceus, that's too obvious. Help me out here, is there some fire-type attacker that I'm missing? What can the dragon utilize to win? Tell me what you think.
