Standard Lurantis GX/Giratina EX Deck

[Foxowl2305]

Hi there. I went to a tournament a few weeks ago and I went 1-2, losing to 2 Espeon GX-Tauros GX decks. I don't think my deck is too good. Are there any significant edits I should make? I know I need to add more Lurantis GX.

Pokemon:
1 Morelull SUM
1 Shiinotic SUM
3 Fomantis SUM
1 Lurantis GX SUM
1 Caterpie SUM
1 Metapod SUM
1 Butterfree SUM
2 Zubat SUM
2 Golbat SUM
2 Crobat SUM
1 Giratina EX AOR
Energies:
1 Double Dragon Energy
1 Double Colorless Energy
10 Grass Energy
4 Psychic Energy
Trainers:
1 Fighting Fury Belt BKP
1 Poison Barb SUM
1 Bursting Balloon BKP

1 Shrine of Memories PRC

1 Level Ball AOR
2 Ultra Ball SUM
2 Timer Ball SUM
1 Great Ball SUM
1 Crushing Hammer SUM
1 Switch SUM
1 Max Revive XY (Reprinted I think)
1 Professor's Letter BKT
1 Rotom Dex SUM
1 Rare Candy SUM
1 Town Map BKT

1 Hau SUM
1 Fisherman BKT
1 Wally ROS
1 Lillie SUM
2 Professor Kukui SUM
2 Tierno BKP & FLF (reprinted)
2 Lysandre AOR & FLF (reprinted)
1 Brigette BKT

I know my deck needs a lot of simple edits but help would be appreciated. Also, if you have any suggestions for counters to Espeon GXes please voice them!

First of all you need to ask yourself "Who is my main attacker?", and build the deck around it. You have too many evolution lines.
Also try to have only one type of energy.

I've never heard of Poison Energy, what is it?

I assume by poison energy you mean psychic?

Why the hell do you have a 1 of butterfree? It's going to be incredibly inconsistent since the line is ruined if any of them are prized and it will be slow since you are running no FOGP. I would cut all the Pokémon except for Lurantis and Giratina. They are the best cards and should be your focal points. Tapu Lele GX, Tauros GX and Talonflame would all be cards to look at. Here is what I would do for Pokémon:

3-3 Lurantis GX line
3 Giratina EX
2 Tapu Lele GX
1 Tauros GX

12 Total

As for trainers again you need to cut most of the 1 ofs if you want a deck with any kind of consistency. Also your draw supporters are really bad. Hau/Tierno are awful and while Kukui is useful for its damage, it is even worse at getting you cards. 1 Stadium is too little, you want 3 stadiums or stadium removal so that you can disrupt your opponent. Here is more or less what you want for trainers:

4 Ultra Ball
3 Trainer's Mail
3 Switch / Escape Rope
2 Professor's Letter
3 Choice Band (Once they come out)
2 Field Blower
4 VS Seeker

3 Sycamore
3 N
2 Lysandre
1 PFC
1 Ninja Boy
1 Delinquent

34 Total

Energy:
10 Grass Energy
4 Double Dragon Energy

14 Total

Thank you! I will definitely make those edits I was already thinking of adding Sycamores and Ns.
