Strategy:

The Strategy behind this deck is to attack wit M Gardevoir EX. Xerneas helps accelerate energy, aromatisse can move the energy around, Virizion EX is used as status protection, The antiant trait Macgargo has a few uses in the deck. The first use would be as a metal counter the second use would be by using the Omega barrier antiant trait to store rainbow energy. Malamar EX is used to put opponnets pokemon to sleep. Suicune is a good water attacker and can slow EX's down. What do you think?
 
Consider maybe the anti stadium Ninetails instead of the Macargo for Metal counter and also keeping that vital fairy garden locked in in a meta format that has many decks that rely on stadiums. That is if you are desperate to have a 1-1 fire line. I just think overall Ninetails will be more use in games that don't involve playing against a steel type deck.
 
I would agree but ninetails take 2 fire energy to attack and Macargo only takes one and can do more damage as well as having the omega barrier antiant trait to keep my rainbow energy safe.
 
I ran Charizard EX (Stoke) as my R Poké to counter M and G decks. Plus, it's a great starter too.

I ran no Muscle Bands since M Gardevoir can essentially 1HKO any Poké in the current format. So, why need Malamar EX?

I did run 4 Xerneas in order to maximize my chances of starting with this Poké.

Given the above, following are some suggested changes to consider:

-1 Slugma
-1 Magcargo
-1 Malamar EX

-2 Muscle Band

+2 Charizard EX (Stoke)
+1 Xerneas
+2 Switch / Escape Rope - critical, IMO, to get Xerneas into active position asap when you start with another Poké (other than Charizard EX)

I hope you find these comments helpful.
