Ah my bad, I just expected the same as Mewtwo-EX when I saw the card.

Yeah good point
Anyone been able to test the deck? I only have 1 Necrozma online?
I think I have the packs to get the three Necrozmas I need but I've been focused on other decksYeah good point
yeah the tin will help, as it gives you 2 extras
This list looks OK, but not ideal. I´ve been playing around with Metagross Necrozma (at local game stores) for a few weeks and I have some suggestions.
First of all, don´t play 4 Necrozma. That´s just a bad idea! I think 2 is ideal because it should be more of a tech card you have the option to use when it is beneficial. I also think a split of 6-5 psychic to metal or 5-6 would be much better- trust me. This deck should run like a normal Metagross deck, but you always can use Necrozma to hit those higher numbers.
Finally, I do like the use of Olivia and Koko promo here, but Hala I´m not too sure about. Not that it´s a bad card in this kind of deck, but you´re better off adding another Rescue Stretcher, Lele, or Choice Band.

Why would I run 2 of my main attacker?
Necrozma shouldn't be your main attacker because of the hefty Psychic energy discard of Prismatic Burst. The Metagross are enough as your main attackers because they can manually retreat between each other and Geotech System the energy back to circumvent Giga Hammer's drawback.
Geotech refuels Necrozma, the point of this deck isn't to be yet another Metagross GX deck with a Necrozma tech, it's a Necrozma deck utilizing Metagross to recharge Prismatic Burst. Plus you didn't give me any real reason as to why Necrozma is a worse attacker than Metagross, and the only thing I can think of is Garb weakness. But use Metagross against the Garbs and Necrozma against Drampa/Espeon (so you don't risk losing a Geotech). Heck, it even can be beneficial against Gardy, despite losing weakness, it makes Gardy need one more energy to KO Necro than Gross (assuming he just used Giga Hammer, thus having 3 energy)
Geotech System can charge up Necrozma, true, but what if you don't have 3 Metagross ready and Necrozma is stuck in the active? That's what I'm worried about. Manually attaching energy could be slow at times when you don't have your Metagross set up.
How is this any different from using Metagross? You still need 3 Metagross...
You can use Algorithm to help pull out any missing pieces. There's the risk of being N'd, though.
I don't think you seem to agree with me or @Alakazam90125 on how many Necrozma you run in the deck. Try a build with 2 Necrozma and another build with your 3/4 and see which deck runs better.
As mentioned earlier, I can't, I only have 1 :/
You can try to trade for the other copies or get lucky with Burning Shadows packs. Once you do get a hold of more Necrozma, I'd recommend testing the variants I mentioned.
Yep, Out of packs, so I'm having trouble trading for them right now
I know Im the person that suggested four Necrozmas in the first place but the more I think about it I think three is the way to go. Take out one Necrozma for another Lele. And also I would suggest a 6 Psychic/6 Metal split of energy so that Metagross is more useful. Take out Koko for the twelfth energy
Well, Necrozma really shouldn´t be your main attacker. I´ve played around with this deck for a while and do not recommend playing 3 or more Necrozma. Metagross should still be your main attacker- otherwise, you are basically just using a stage 2 support which is impractical.
Dicidu/plume tried to get 4-5 Stage 2 lines out as supports
Decidu/Plume had FOGP, Revitalizer, Level Ball, etc. to grab the pieces anytime/anywhere and play them instantly. Metagross GX can play quickly, but it needs to be focused on Metagross GX. Necromaza GX is an excellent glass cannon being able to deal OHKO's if set up properly. Metagross GX with it 250 HP is able to take a hit, retreat, and heal with Max Potion so it can do it again. That being said Necromaza GX is still a key part of the deck with a 2-3 count. It can dish out OHKO's when needed, but it can also apply pressure to EX/GX Pokemon with Black Ray GX. Using that, it brings every Pokemon into Metagross GX's knock out range without trading knockouts.
Not really, how is getting 3 Stage 2s in a Gross GX deck much easier than getting 3 Stage 2s and a basic (which allows you to retain the 3 stage 2s consistently)
