You've got 17 Pokemon, 19 Trainers and you'll probably end having about 9 Energy. That leaves 15 extra slots. I'll help you fill those in. :) The aim of your deck probably should be to stream attackers by powering them up with Bronzong.

-1-1 Metagross (You don't want to be including a stage two line like this as the likelihood of you getting it out is very low, and you lose a lot of consistency in getting out your Bronzong, M-Scizor and Jirachi.)
-1-1 Noctowl (Basically the same deal as Noctowl)
-2 Shauna (It's not really good enough to warrant a full four, so lets use this space for other supporters.)
-1 Switch (You don't need 3 Switch.)
-1 Escape Rope (You don't need 3 Escape Rope either.)
-1 Rare Candy (No need for this without Metagross.)
-2 Energy Retrieval (You don't need this in your deck.)

+1-1 Bronzong PHF (This gives you a lot more consistency and assistence for your deck, which will be nice!)
+1 Aegislash-EX (Aegislash is really nice as it prevents any Pokemon with Special Energy from damaging it, which is used is most decks.)
+4 VS Seeker (This is a great card! You'll definitely want to include it.)
+3 Muscle Band (This is also a great card, since it can boost your final damage output!)
+3 Battle Compressor (Discarding cards from your hand may not seem all too great at first... but this card allows for you to get your Metal Energy into your discard pile so you can Metal Links it with the Bronzong.)
+1 Lysandre (A really nice card for any deck.)
+9 Metal Energy (Can't forget the Energy!)
+2 Steel Shelter (Steel Shelter is nice Stadium for Metal Types, as it prevents them from being poisoned or put to sleep through cards that are becoming increasingly common.)
+1 Xerosic (You'll likely end up facing Garbodor, which prevents the use of Abilities. We're not going to like that, so we can include Xerosic to remove the tool it needs to activate.)
 
@bbninjas : there's still 9 slots remaining :D

Why not considering those cards :
- Ultra Ball, a must have in any deck
- Level ball, Bronzor's & Bronzong's friend
- Shaymin EX, if it is in every list in the metagame, it's probably not that bad :p
- Shield Energy, to replace some of the Metal Energies

Oh, yeah, haha.

+4 Ultra Ball (Staple card as Bidou mentioned.)
+2 Level Ball (A bit more consistency.)
+1 Bridgette (Great for setting up.)
+1 Hex Maniac (To disrupt your opponent after you've used all the Abilities you need.)
+1 Super Rod (To get back any Pokemon you have to discard but need later on.)

I would not add Shield Energy, as it cannot be Metal Linked by Bronzong and it is discarded easily by Enhanced Hammer and numerous other popular cards of the format.
 
I'd really appreciate more than 10 Energy, as with past experiences, I have never been able to draw out the energy I require to power up some Pokemon. Also, I was thinking of adding 2 DCE, solely for Dialga to keep continually attacking. I'm happy with the rest, so I will updated the OP

Actually, Shield Energy can be targeted by Bronzong's ability. It doesn't mention a basic energy ;)
I think it would be very strong with this deck.
 
I wasn't aware of this ruling !
Thank you very much @bbninjas :)

So, sorry for this mistake, Metal Energies will be fine here :D
 
Preferably I'd rather have dce than shields energies because dce supports retreating all (bar Aegislash) my Pokemon

It says in the players hand and or discard pile, so i thought doesn't affect things already on my bench or active pokemon
 
I've updated the OP now please take a look and see what you think

I just checked the next regionals, and it's expanded, so I think the only thing I may add is 3 htl. Any other suggestions?
