Standard Gumshoos-GX/Eeveelutions

[Nyora]

Hello! With the current standard likely to be Lurantis GX, maybe some Volcanion, Yveltal, and much more, I've decided that this deck may take a good spot in standard. It utilizes Eevee's Eeveelutions to hit for 200 on a lot of popular Pokémon, including Lurantis. Kukui is a huge card in here to help do the extra 20 needed to one-shot a lot of Pokémon in the meta.

Never played gumshoos, but Im sure some energy denial fits very well with it, specially team skull grunt!

I faced something trying to do something with gumshoos + Wailord. Now, it was expanded and I was rocking the exact WRONG type of deck to be running that type of deck against (Rayquaza + Eels + Eelektross + Smeargle = 360 max damage hit = one dead Wailord), but gumshoos was an amazing bonus to that deck. He saw my hand literally every turn and was able to make good choices with his cards because of it.

That said, I am not sure about this particular deck list you have will work. I like the general concept where you use the eevee line to gain weakness against multiple types. I even like the use of gumshoos to get a sneak peek so you know which eeveelution you want to pick. Where I suspect this deck will falter is that it virtually screams "disruption" and from what I was seeing in the deck list, you are lacking the cards to make that happen leading me to believe you are planning on two shotting everything with gumshoos and hoping for weakness match ups.

If that is the case (and I assume it is), I think you would be better served getting a splashable hard hitting basic into your list and thin your gumshoos line by 1-1 or even 2-2. If I had to pick something to replace it, I would probably go for the usual suspects: Yveltal-EX, Lugia-EX, or maybe even add a couple of Umbreon-GX and use that as your primary attacker. I would probably lean toward Yveltal / Lugia though because they also give you outs against Glaceon-EX decks which I would bet dollars to donuts are going to become far more common in the coming weeks.

4 Eevee are way to many. I would do 2 Eevee only, since you won't need two Eeveelutions in a match. Your math is not very good, since you can not Lysandre Shaymin and one shot it without Jolteon. Good choice on running the two Kukui. Choice Band will replace Kukui in May, but good deck. My friend is trying to build a fairy variant with Fairy Garden and Fairy Drop.
The last thing I noticed, is why fire energy? You could attack with Flareon I guess, but maybe try a mix of Eeveelution energy if you like that option.

I need 4 Eevee for consistency. It's also good ultra bait and if lysandred before I can evolve that causes problems. Your right that I need Jolteon to Lysandre OHKO shaymi, but, I can still do that. Fire energy is there yes, because there are 2 Flareon, more than the other Eeveelutions, but also of Scoarched Earth if my opponent happens to play it and I superosngly don't need them.
