Hello! I am creating a Metagross GX deck and I came up everything and I will put my explanation for most cards

4 Beldum - Guardians Rising
2 Metang - Guardians Rising Only 2 Because of Rare Candy
4 Metagross GX - Guardians Rising Main Pokemon
2 Alolan Vulpix - Guardians Rising Main Card to Help Set Up - Optimal Start
2 Tapu Lele - Guardians Rising There for Wonder Tag to Get Out Supporters
1 Dhelmise - Guardians Rising There to Get The Extra 10 Damage Helps With Knockouts
1 Mimikyu - Guardians Rising There for Copy Cat To Hit The Opposing Pokemon Boosted With Metagross

4 Professor Sycamore - Steam Siege For Draw Support
4 N - Fates Collide For More Draw Support
1 Hala - Guardians Rising For Late Game Draw Support
1 Kukui - Sun And Moon For Boosted Damage
1 Skyla - Breakthrough For Getting Trainers Mainly Rare Candy
2 Guzma - Burning Shadows For Getting The Opponents Pokemon Up In The Active
1 Acerola - Burning Shadows For Keeping KO's on Pokemon

4 Ultra Ball - Sun And Moon Getting Out Most Pokemon
1 Heavy Ball - Breakthrough Helping Get Out Metang And Metagross
3 Rare Candy - Guardians Rising Getting From Beldum To Metagross Fast
2 Field Blower - Guardians Rising Taking Away Tools From Your Opponents Most Likely Garb
3 Max Potion - Guardians Rising To Heal And Discard Energy
2 Rescue Stretcher To Get Pokemon Back
3 Choice Band - Guardians Rising For Hitting Extra Damage on All GX's And EX's
2 Altar Of The Sunne - Guardians Rising To Take Away Weakness On Metagross Because Volcanion Is EVERYWHERE

9 Metal Energy
2 Psychic Energy

I Hope You like the Deck leave Opinions Please theirs only 2 Leles Because I Only Have 2 and It's Super Expensive
 
Stadiums that are only effective on the opponent's turn like Altar of the Sunne are unreliable because of Field Blower easily bumping them off. Volcanion decks can also bump it off with Scorched Earth or Brooklet Hill. The ideal partner for Metagross is Necrozma GX because it's not that vulnerable to Volcanion and can have Psychic energy accelerated on to it with Geotech System. Of course, this means you'll have to include more Psychic energies.

1-off supporters are less effective in the upcoming format with Vs. Seeker rotating out. This might change when Lusamine is released in Burning Shadows. The only viable 1-off supporter is Brigette, who's only useful for setting up your bench early.
 
I have been playing Metagross GX for quite a while now, and have come up with a very consistent build. Here is my decklist.

Pokemon: 17

4 Beldum
3 Metang
4 Metagross GX
2 Alolan Vulpix
2 Tapu Lele GX
1 Magearna EX
1 Cobalion

Trainers: 33

Items
4 Ultra Ball
4 Rare Candy
3 Choice Band
4 Max Potion
1 Rescue Stretcher
3 Field Blower

Supporter
4 Professor Sycamore
4 N
1 Bridgette
3 Guzma
1 Skyla
1 Lillie

Energy: 10

9 Metal Energy
1 Psychic Energy

I hope this helps.
 
If you're only playing 2 Metang, play 4 Rare Candy, or up the count to 3. Makes getting Metagross out easier.
 
not bad here is my current build

I've been running Metagross for some time and haven't ever found a use for Dhelmise. You run so many Pokemon anyway, it always just seems to get in the way and the plus 10 doesn't help you hit many numbers. I would look at running another field blower too. One garbodor can cripple you.

Dhelmise helps with the 190 decks. But outside of that it clogs bench and deck.
