Strategy:
The main strategy to this deck is to set up Bronzongs as quick as possible and hit them with constant 150 damage from Dialaga EX, the rest of the cards in the deck support this.
The problem i have is the deck feels really tight on space and theres a lot of things id like to put in but just cant find the room. Some of those being a Hypnotoxic Laser for the 180HP 1HKO from Dialga, 1 battle compressor or 2 to help thin the deck, an Evo Soda.
Another is i'm playing so few impactful trainer cards, should i take skyla out and find something else to put in its place, the problem with this is it'll probably hurt my consistency quite a bit.

Well that's the list, any advice would be appreciated :D
 
I have found that Aegislash is in fact pretty bad. His attack sucks, and can get OHKOed by pyroar easily. Fighting still has muscle band and whichever stadium they want. My thoughts/changes:

-2 Aegislash
+1 Kanga EX
+1 M Kanga EX

I have found even with Cobalion it is still a lot better with the mega.

Mega Kangaskhan in this kind of deck is redundant. If the deck focused around it, that would be fine, but there is too much going against Mega Kangaskhan. It is still blocked by Sigilyph, which has gotten a lot more popular recently, and the Fighting Weakness and Mega Rule just make it too hard to use in this deck.

As for Aegislash-EX, it isn't bad. I recommend about 2 in this deck, but you should make sure you have a backup attacker to deal with Safeguarders, Fire Types, and Pyroar. The best option, like I can't give it enough praise, is Beartic. OHKO's Pyroar and Donphan, and with a Muscle Band, does the same thing to both Landorus cards, and a decent amount of damage to other cards that might threaten this deck, namely Charizard-EX.
 
Ok, I've tested the deck a bit more and changed the list so i thought i'd ask for thoughts again.
I went from the list being really tight to having some extra room so i put in some 1 of trainers like hypno, compressor and evo soda. I'm still considering adding the Beartic line because at this point if i dont get a really strong lead i basically auto lose to pyroar.
 
Clever. Hypnotoxic Laser to hit 180 HP Pokemon, and with the rather abundance of 170ers, you only need one. Good idea.

Yet, I wonder if using Iris might be better for you given the fact that you can use Battle Compressor to send Iris into the Discard, then VS Seeker Iris back to your hand. You essentially get it whenever you need it, rather than having to use Skyla to get your Laser whilst hoping you don't start with it in-hand. I've seen Iris used to largely positive effect, and I would highly recommend you use it over Hypnotoxic.

Why did you decide to put in a single copy of Hypnotic Laser?

As kecleon said I put the 1 copy in for 180hp ex pokemon and to bring pyroar down to 1hko range from cobalion even though it hasn't helped in that regard as I still insta lose vs pyroar.
I'll be trying out other ways to deal with pyroar later. Going to try a beartic line, that mega kangaskhan line that was suggested earlier. I also want to try out a 1-1 forretress line or the iris idea but I needed to my hands on a pineco and iris on ptcgo first.

also thinking of dropping the evo soda because I run a large enough line of bronzong that I never need it.
