Hey there! I'm looking for a seccond deck idea to play at my league, (in addition to my Machamp radicate break deck, which has been working quite well) and thought I might give tyrantrum a try. Here is my list:
Pokémon:
  • 3 Tyrantrum EX
  • 2 Aegislash EX
  • 3-3 Bronzong
  • 2-2 Zoroark
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums:
  • 2 Professor Sycamore
  • 2 Professor Birch's Observations
  • 3 Skyla
  • 2 Lysandre
  • 3 VS Seeker
  • 2 Float Stone
  • 3 Muscle Band
  • 2 Level Ball
  • 2 Ultra Ball
  • 1 Town Map
  • 3 Sky Field
Energy:
  • 3 Fighting Energy
  • 8 Metal Energy
  • 4 Double dragon Energy
Strategy:

The strategy, is to start with either tyrantrum, or aegislash, depending on whet deck they play (vespiqueen/March start with aegislash, and anything else start with tyrantrum) try to start with and go first setting up bronzong and zoroark and one tyrantrum, whether it is in the active or benched.
 
I think you run to low on draw support, just 4 supporter for getting a fresh hand and even no shaymin could give you hard times to draw out of a bad hand.
Maybe you could cut some energies, you will anyway be able to get these back from the discard pile with your bronzong line. And add some Sycamore or Birch if you feel better with him.
you could also cut one skyfield, it is not really that much needed in this deck, i think (since you don't play hoopa or even shaymin, and more benched pokémon only synergies with zoroark, which depend on your opponent anyway.)
And yes, you can easily cut one skyla from the list, she is good, but you just don't need her that much if you ask me.

I hope this helped you a little, good luck!

Great news: I see only 55 cards listed; so, you have 5 remaining slots to fill.

Secondly, you only have a total of 4 card-draw Supporters and no supplemental card-draw support via Shaymin EX(s), Octillery, Scorched Earth, etc. IMO, this places you at a severe disadvantage.

Sugessted deck changes for your consideration:

-1 Skyla - 2 should be sufficient
-1 Town Map - not really critical and plus gives your opponent an opportunity to better determine what's in your deck
-1 Sky Field - can hurt you, as well (*)

+1 Level Ball - to help setup your bench faster
+1 Ultra Ball - to help setup your bench faster
+2 Professor's Birch Observations - more card-draw support
+2 Professor Sycamore - more card-draw support
+1 Scorched Earth - supplemental card draw support and counter Stadium
+1 VS Seeker - to maximize flexibility to access discarded Supporters​

Additionally, consider replacing the 2 remaining Skyla with Battle Compressor and/or Trainer's Mail.

* Note that Zoroark is/is becoming a tech used in lots of decks; so, your bench places your Tyrantrum EXs at risk to be 1HKOd.

I hope you find these comments helpful.
 
TuxedoBlack's suggestions are solid; I would say the same except that I would suggest definitely replacing the 2 remaining Skyla with 2 Battle Compressor and perhaps a 3rd Battle Compressor instead of a 4th Birch. You could also probably get away with dropping one of each type of basic Energy, and adding some combination of Super Rod, Trainers' Mail, or a 3rd Float Stone. Tyrantrum will usually attack with a DDE and two Metal, and the Metal are easily recycled, so you probably don't need 4 DDE and 11 basic energy

if you run zoroark break you need dark energy to use it

Good news: you now only listed 59 cards.

Although Zoroark is a solid attacker, I'm not sure it will be that effective since you don't run any Dark or Rainbow energy, as @kingqazbatt noted . So, it should be replaced, IMO. You'll need Float Stones too for the Zoroark too. Also, the 6 card-draw Supporters are woefully insufficient despite the Scorched Earth. Suggested changes for your consideration:

-1 Zoroark BREAK
-2 Skyla - slots needed for "higher priority" (IMO) cards
-1 Battle Compressor - 2 should be sufficient
-1 Ultra Ball - since you're also running Heavy Ball, you have plenty of remaining ways of getting those particular Pokémon

+2 Float Stone
+1 Level Ball - to help get more Bronzors and Zorua out faster
+1 Shauna
+1 Professor Birch's Observations
+1 Super Rod, Trainer's Mail or VS Seeker
 
From now on could you please update the decklist in the original post instead of posting a new list every time you update the deck? Not everyone reads through the whole thread, and it's easy to see how other users could get confused. Thanks!
