Hey everybody, here is a list I've been pondering ever since I saw Ultra Necrozma GX. I know that not all of the cards from the next set (which Ultra Necrozma GX is in) have been announced, so this deck may not be at it's full potential at the moment, but I'll upgrade the deck as more cards are released. In the mean time, take a look!
Pokémon*19
Ultra Necrozma GX*3 FLI (Forbidden Light)
Beldum*4 GRI
Metang*2 GRI
Metagross GX*4 GRI
Tapu Lele GX*2 GRI
Registeel*1 CRI
Mimikyu*1 GRI
Remoraid*1 BKT
Octillery*1 BKT
Trainer*32
Cynthia*2 ULP
Prof. Sycamore*2 BKP
N*3 FCO
Guzma*3 BUS
Skyla*2 BKT
Brigette*2 BKT
Ultra Ball*4 SUM
Mysterious Treasure*2 FLI
Rare Candy*3 SUM
Rescue Stretcher*1 SUM
Choice Band*3 GRI
Float Stone*2 BKT
Ultra Space*3 FLI
Energy*9
Psychic Energy*6 SUM
Metal Energy*3 SUM
Total # of Cards: 60
Strategy: The idea is to use Metagross GX's ability (Geotech System) to reload energy onto Ultra Necrozma GX to hit for high numbers. Using Metagross GX to attack is also an option as well since you can clean up any damaged Pokémon with Ultra Necrozma GX's GX attack or just take K.O.s on Zorua/Rockfuff. The math works out almost perfectly against most decks (160 {discarding two [P] energy}+20 {Base damage}+30 {Choice Band}=210 {Zoroark GX, Golisopod GX, etc.}) not to mention Mimikyu picking up the slack VS. the upcoming Solgaleo GX (230 {Copycat on Sunsteel Strike}+30 {Choice Band}=260 {Solgaleo GX K.O.ed}).
Some techs I've thought of would be...
Beast Ring: Here is the text...
... I think maybe one or two copies could find there way into this deck, but Metagross GX gets the job done anyways. Maybe throwing in Alolan Vulpix and letting them get K.O.ed can speed up the process to a point where you can use Beast Ring early.
Octillery: Since Buzzwole GX and Lycanroc GX decks are popular at the moment, I thought that taking advantage of their Brooklet Hill with Remoraid would be a helpful option.
Alolan Vulpix: Same as Remoraid with the Brooklet Hill idea, but it can also help set up Metagross GX while advancing Beast Ring (if it Beast Ring is inserted) after it is K.Oed.
Registeel: With Glaceon GX being a major threat to this deck, I believe that Registeel would be the best way to counter it as it can be used in other matchups as well.
Espeon EX: With Ultra Necrozma GX's GX move, you can spread damage on all of your opponent's Pokémon like Zoroark GX, Lycanroc GX, and other Evolutions. Espeon EX then comes in and cleans up against those decks with devolution.
Anyways, let me know what you think and if you have any ideas, thanks!

Once during each player’s turn, that player may search their deck for an Ultra Beast, reveal it, and put it in their hand. Then, that player shuffles their deck.
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.
