Pokemon: 16
  • 3 Zorua
  • 3 Zoroark

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 34
  • 1 Battle Compressor
  • 2 Max Elixir
  • 4 Max Potion
  • 4 Trainer Mail
  • 4 Ultra Ball
  • 4 VS Seeker
  • 1 AZ

Energy: 10
  • 10 Metal Energy
Strategy:

So basically the strategy is to set up Scizor and Zoroark and continuously Stand in and then use Scizor's second attack Gale Thrust for 110 + 20 with muscle badn or + 10 with fighting fury belt.
 
Nice deck concept. A few comments for your consideration:

Why no counter Stadium, like Steel Shelter?

Are the 6 card-draw Supporters sufficient to provide smooth, deck operations? Even when Item-locked? If not, then 2 more PBO or Shauna would help.

Are you able to get multiple Zorua and Bronzor into play by T1 or T2 at the latest? If not, a few Level Ball could help.

Following are a few suggested deck changes for improvement, IMO:

-1 Battle Compressor - this "1-of" doesn't seem to be that helpful
-1 Max Potion - 3 should be sufficient
-1 Trainer's Mail - 3 should be sufficient
-1 Ultra Ball - 3 should be sufficient
-1 Hex Maniac - not critical, especially given your reliance upon your Pokémon Abilities
-1 Float Stone - 2 should be sufficient; discarding energy for the Retreat Cost doesn't really hurt since you can recycle back onto another benched Pokémon

+2 Level Ball
+2 PBO and/or Shauna
+1 Professor's Letter / Fisherman - to get needed energy
+1 Sacred Ash / Super Rod - to recover discarded Pokémon and/or energy

I personally would run Fighting Fury Belt over Muscle Band, specifically for the Scizor EX - +40 HP is HUGE.

Any thoughts about incorporating M Scizor EX into the deck?

I hope you find these comments helpful.
