Standard Honchkrow-GX Using the New Obstagoon

I'm not the best at making decks so any suggestions would be a big help. Trying to find a deck that would suit the new Obstagoon from Darkness Ablaze and I believe honchkrow GX could be a match.

Decklist:

2 Reset Stamp UNM 206
3 Switch SSH 183

Energy: 10
2 Capture Energy RCL 171
4 Hide Energy DAB
4 Darkness Energy

Strategy:
start with Murkrow or Jirachi and try to get a dusk stone so you can evolve immediately into Hunchkrow GX. Then try to get the new Galarian Obstagoon up so you can limit your opponent's hand. Use the GX attack when you can to limit your opponent's hand to 2 cards. Hunchkrow GX's ability will make it even harder to play cards from the draw.

Things I might add:
Chip Chip Ice Axe.

The new Hoopa from Darkness Ablaze as a second attacker (third if you include Obstagoon as a attacker)

Scoop Up Net for the Zigzagoons

Add one more Galar mine

Add one more Galarian Obstagoon

I'm new to Pokebeach, so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know. Thanks.
 
Twin energy cannot be put on honchcrow
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even notice. That's going to make this a lot more inconsistent. I think I'll replace it with capture energy and add more basic Dark energy.

Do you think it would be good to add one triple acceleration energy in case I want to attack with obstagoon for 180 or 360 on weakness?
 
I'm afraid it's not good idea. When playing Honchkrow decks, you'd like to use Unfair GX asap. In order to limit your opponent's hand to 4, using Marnie is much easier than a Zigzagoon-Candy-Obstagoon combo.
