I was expecting it to become a more viable deck upon rotation, when Eel decks start running Rayquaza instead of their standard electric attackers, giving Empoleon less enemies in the format. I'm sticking to that. It can also abuse Max Potion just like Darkrai/Hydreigon can thanks to having only 1 energy cost to attack.
I question if anyone would bother running Aerodactyl as a "this pokemon is worth 2 pokemon on the bench" kind of thing for Attack Command, preventing your opponent from limiting your damage cap as much without burning through Pluspowers.
Other than that, yeah, that list of decks looks pretty spot on Mekkah.

Many Darkrai/Hyd lists will play blend energy, meaning that they can take KO's on Empoleon, and avoid getting return KO'ed by terrakion without a catcher.
The deck will be ok, but still unable to reach the sky's of tier 1, much like it is currently.
There will still be Zekrom in Rayquaza, too good to not play.
No idea on Aero, but it's not the best at the moment, and seeing as Terrakion arguably gets better after rotation, I think it is unlikely.
