I didn't want to use float stones with the off chance that it got banned with the release of SM5?(Don't really know how tcg works so notify me if it doesn't). Probably should add floatstones. You pull so many cards with octillery that you don't need lele for suppoters. Especially since lele takes 2 prize cards when killed. Also, is there a way I could stop/ not have an auto loss for garb?
 
I don't know where you got the idea that float stone will be banned with the next set. Cards leave standard play 99% of the time by set rotation (a set only last for about 2 years in standard format). And they pretty much never ban cards for Standard unless it ruins the game (like with Lysandre's Trump Card)

Oh thx. Then ill definitely add some
 
Rotom doesn't add much to the deck :/ Gourgeist is a much better attacker
-2 Heat Rotom
-1 Fan Rotom
-4 Dashing Pouch
-2 Energy Loto
-2 Brooklett Hill
+4 Sycamore
+1 Guzma
+2 N
+3 Tapu Lele
+1 Ultra Ball
You should also have ways to retrieve Non-Klefki Tools. The only ways I can think of to achieve this are Cinccino (CRI), Heatmor (BUS), and Puzzle of Time (BKP)

Sycamore is a terrible card in this deck. I've been working on a gourgeist deck for a while, and heat Rotonda is actually a great card, it gives you an out to best solgaleo (a deck you would straight lose to otherwise). Fan rotom does nothing for the deck sure, but dropping the dashing pouch is bad as well. You're better off just having 4 additional tools over POT or heatmor.

Typical convention doesn't work in this deck, there's just not enough room for all the supporters and Lele, etc.

How does heat Rotom help against Solgaleo at all? Also, how does Sycamore hurt the deck at all?

You're trading one prize attackers, so every guzma you get should target a trubbish/garbotoxin garb. Ditch a field blower, add two Guzma and cut the fan rotom.

Also, if it were me, with the build you're going for, cut the energy lotto for additional rescue stretcher. But this is just one man's opinion.

It can one shot a solgoleo dude. Both Solgoleo and Metagross are psychic resistant, but weak to fire.

You can not, and I can't stress enough that you CAN NOT discard cards in this deck. You need every last tool card in this deck. It's unbelievably tight for this archetype.

Heat-Tom only does 80. with a Choice band and Weakness that's only 220 which doesn't knock out Solgaleo or Metagross
