I find myself beaconning most of the time. OHKO’s are a problem but necrozma can get some help.

All advices are welcome!

And what do you know about metagross in expanded? Is there a good list on it?

I would like to hear from you, what could be improved or changed?

Float Stone is unnecessary in this deck because this is the rare occasion that paying a hefty retreat cost with Metagross is a good thing, since Geotech System can reattach the lost energies.

Another thing to consider is switching regular Necrozma to Dusk Mane Necrozma because the latter hits a lot harder with a key number of 220, more than enough to take out Zoroark, Ultra Necrozma, and Buzzwole, 3 of the best GXs in the format.

That's a good idea tho, maybe playing some fighting fury belt too.

You don't need FFB. FFB is better in decks that run plenty of big basics and Metagross isn't one of them.

You totally need some Cynthia in here now. I'd consider changing the supporter count to 3 Sycamore - 3 Cynthia - 1-2 N, and dropping a Skyla if you go for the two N. For Expanded, I'd also consider finding room for VS Seeker (duh), Battle Compressor (for energies and Vs seeker fueling), and maybe even a Colress (since your bench should be pretty full most of the time). Also, splitting into a 2 Lysandre 1 Guzma count would also be pretty good in expanded.

ok, thx you very much. Couldn’t find that much for expanded
