Hey everyone! Need some advices to improve this deck! I now have to much cards in it (7 over) but i don't know which adjustments to do...

Strategy:
- Always limit the damages done to my Scizor-GX by using these tools, Full metal wall (30 less til the end of the game), Great Potions and Steel Wings effect (30 less next turn)
- Slowking is there to counter fire type if i dont have Metal Frying Pan on my active.
- Baby Scizor takes place against Keldeo-GX (used to play it against Hoopa...)


Pokémon (17):
3 Scizor-GX
2 Lucario&Melmetal-GX
4 Scyther (LOT)
2 Scizor (LOT)
1 Ditto Prism
2 Slowking (LOT)
1 Slowpoke (LOT)
1 Magearna (UPR)
1 Genesect (UNB)

Trainer (40):
4 Cynthia
3 Lillie
2 Tate and Liza
2 Coach Trainer
4 Cherish Ball
3 Net ball
2 Pokémon Communication
2 Adventure Bag
2 Acro Bike
2 Switch
4 Great Potion
2 Reset Stamp
3 Metal Frying Pan
2 Metal Core Barrier
1 Metal Goggles
2 Mt. Coronet

Energy (10):
7 Metal Energy
3 Triple Acceleration Energy

What are your thoughts???
 
I think it's awesome and would try it if I had the cards. My initial thoughts are ditch slowking and triples for a Cobalion GX (stops chuchu and I suppose breloom) and some weakguard energy. With both energy and pan you have a very good chance of making weakness irrelevant.

A tentative 60 you could try. I took out genesect because I assumed he was for free retreat, so I put in a u-turn board instead to make cobalion or magearna into free retreaters and save a bench space, plus u-turn board is another option for adventure bag to search out. If you valued the spread attack, swap him back in.

I took AngryBokoblin's recommendation of -1 tate -2 coach trainer, and my own idea of taking out slowking and triple accel for cobalion gx and weakguard. I also figured spread won't be as popular in this format so I replaced goggles with a 4th pan.

Finally I took the easy way out and deleted the bikes, and took out 1 cherish ball cuz something had to go.
 
Cut the magearna (what is it for?) and the p. comms for 1 cherish ball, 1 net ball, and 1 metal core barrier.

What do you guys think?
 
I think 4 cherish ball, 4 net ball is necessary to be consistent.
You might even add a few grass energy just to have that search late game.
Maybe 1.
Because Scizor attacks for metal colorless.
Cut a p. comm.

Also, add a solgaleo prism.
If you play it right, it going down won't matter because you can make them be stuck with 1 prize with only GXs on your field.
Just be wary of burst GX.
220 hp non GX? (pan + gx attack)
Sounds good to me lol.

I like the idea of adding grass energy with net ball! I'll try it this way before adding solgaleo prism... Since I don't even know which card to remove after 1 p. comm...
