Hello, guys!
I was thinking and planning of building a Rainbow Force Xerneas deck, including the dual-types from Steam Siege, with a sense of competitiveness in the actual play. Do these dual-types counted for Xerneas' Massive attack?
I suspect that Bisharp and Galvantula were possibly included in my planned deck. Why? Bisharp has an attack called Retaliate that deals 90 damage when some of your Pokemon is Knocked Out, and its attack cost is one colorless so, Perfect! While, Galvantula has an attack called Electric Thread that deals 30 damage to 2 of your opponent's Pokemon, and the good thing is it apllies weakness/resistance to the opponent's benched Pokemon, and it is perfect to KO Shaymin-EX.
Do you any suggestions for the dual-types or any cards that I possibly include in my Rainbow Force Xerneas Deck?

Yes, all Dual Types count. What some people have been doing is using Hoopa-EX, Shaymin-EX, Volcanion-EX, and Golem-EX, all at 2, to get a ton of types out quickly. If you pull off a successful Hoopa, you will generate 150 damage instantly. The issue with this is how many completely useless Pokemon you run. Most people are just sticking to using the new Galvantula and Bisharp, and both of them seem almost made for Rainbow Force. Galvantula has the advantage of sniping Shaymins, and Bisharp can hit for 90 after a Xerneas has been knocked out. Might want to play:

Ninja Boy- If you power up something that isn't Xerneas, you can easily switch it.

Special Charge- Recover 2 DCE? Sign me up.

Besides those, you probably want to a Super Rod or two just to recover some cards, and with Special Charge it seems like you can more easily recover from a blowout than previously, so Super Rod is pretty viable. You could always play just Puzzle of Time but I would rather not due to it being hard to get two of in your hand when you need them.
