Yeah, but what is going to stop Metal types from taking over? Pokémon has "forged" a meta that they can't seem to fix.
Oh well, I guess it's time to bring out the old Zoroark Break deck.

They realized how OP Gardevoir gx is.
Yeah, the "irony" of it though is that almost nothing can stop Metal types now (heads up everyone, I'll be cracking jokes all day
).
I don't know, hitting for weakness is out of the question because of the new Solgaleo GX.Yeah, but what is going to stop Metal types from taking over? Pokémon has "forged" a meta that they can't seem to fix.

To be fair, I think they wanted to keep it safe with free attacks. It's pretty much a guaranteed 150 per turn with Starmie, Mount Coronet, and Choice Band, along with any other energy you naturally draw into. The low HP makes sure that one of the first good free attackers isn't too insane. Zoroark-GX support may be good for getting energy in the discard and drawing into combo pieces. .
Only thing I can think of is copying Solgaleo GX's attacks which deal a good amount of damage (230 to be exact). Zoroark Break, Clefairy (EVO), and Mew EX are the only ones I can think of at the moment. Or disrupting your opponent's set up (like turn one Glaceon GX= no turn one Brigette).
True
Imagine double Starmie though, that hits 210 with Choice Band. Only draw back is the low HP, but it is a one-prize attacker. I just wish Pokémon would stop making cards that let Metal types "steel" the spotlight from other decks like Volcanion EX or Garbodor.
Imagine in Expanded though, where Level Ball can search for almost any Pokémon in your deck, not to mention Superior Energy Retrieval. Is there any other support besides these two in Expanded though? I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I'm sure there is something we're missing.
Cilan
Even in the old days, there were stage 1s with 60 HP, like Fossil Tentacruel. That's a surprise to me in the modern era. I'm guessing this is a reference to how Dugtrio's HP is pathetic in the games.
Very cool Dugtrio!
It's got very low HP, but this attack is INSANE. With 3 Starmie on the bench (getting 6 energy back each turn) and a choice band, you will hit for 210. If the new Solgaleo-GX is too expensive for some players, I can totally see this becoming a great budget deck to counter Alolan Ninetales and Gardevoir-GX.
Not terrible with the new stadium and Starmie, but really low HP!
This actually has really good potential in expanded with access to superior energy retrieval, exeggcute (for energy retrieval and starmie), level ball, vs seeker (for fisherman), and compressor.
That is "if" any one plays Alolan Ninetales GX and Gardevoir GX by that time... Just kidding, I'm sure that Gardevoir GX and Ninetales GX won't die off completely, but they won't have the power they use to have. One day your winning Worlds, the next day everyone stuffs you into a binder somewhere to be traded away. Oh well, everyone has their moments (though some don't last as long as others).
Hold it.

I can see it being big in expanded using Cilan, eeveelutions, and
Me too, I have Cilan so, play in expanded
Dang, i guess the only balance for this is that it has 60 hp, but still, thats a great free attack
Uhh...
60 (Mt. Coronet) + 30 (Choice Band) + 60 (Starmie EVO) + 10 (1 Dhelmise GRI) + 60 (Rimbombee BUS) + 30 (just 1 energy lying around) = 250. For 0 energy, and once set up you can do this every turn. Also hits Gardevoir for weakness so u only need 4 energy discards or 3 with band.
