Hey, I'm presenting you today my new deck that I worked on it this summer. I did this deck with all the card I can use. It's not an amazing deck but I have a good win rate since I start playing this deck.

Does it make sense for a deck or I should not play tow stage 2 evolutions in my deck?
 
Nice Deck!
However the changes that I think should be made are:
-1/1 Slowking line (having zero cards means you are in top deck mode)
+2 N (great supporter)
-2 Oliva
+2 Ultra Ball
-2 Switch
+2 N
-3 Double Collorless
+1 Skyla
+2 Field Blower

Nice Try but the deck could use some work. If you want to see what a competitive metagross deck looks like click here (and an article):https://http://google.com/.com/2017/06/05/the-march-of-the-machines/

I'm not sure to understand the +4N I already have 3. But I will take in consideration the Skyla and 2 Field Blower it's a good idea!
 
Brigette may be a bit better than Pokemon Fan Club, since you get three basics instead of two. The only downside is you can't get Tapu Lele via Brigette if you want to use Wonder Tag. If it's a budget issue, Fan Club is definitely cheaper. I would also suggest you run 2-3 Skyla's in case you need to go searching for the Rare Candy. And maybe 2 Hala/2 N instead of 4 N since you will most likely use your GX move early (and won't inadvertently give your opponent a better hand).

If you need more room, you may want to consider removing 1-2 Energy Retrieval. With Geotech System, you can easily get energy out of the discard. Heavy balls may be something to look into also. You can get Metang, Metagross, and Solgaleo with them.

My boyfriend plays a variant of this deck. When he sets up well, he is pretty unstoppable. One card he runs that seems to be very beneficial is the Magearna Ex from Steam Siege. The Mystic Heart ability prevents all effects from your opponent's attacks except damage for each of your Pokemon with a steel energy attached.
