Giratina works well with xerness break!
-3 xerneas ex
-4 dce

+3 giratina ex
+4 double dragon energy
 
A few thought for your consideration:
  • Xerneas BREAK, IMO, is the deck's primary attacker; so, fewer Xerneas EXs (meager 60-30 or 140 damage output vs. "unlimited" by Xerneas BREAK) are needed. So, techs like Mew may be worth considering for key match-ups.
  • Why no Ninja Boy?
  • Since you are running a 2-2 Octillery line, consider also incorporating opponent's hand disruption cards like Delinquent and/or Judge.
  • IMO, the 8 Y energy seem insufficient to support 4 Max Elixir, and 2-3 turns of Geomancy. In fact, these 2 actions can overlap to some degree.
Suggested changes:

-1 Xerneas EX
-1 Sycamore - could casue you to "over draw" given the 2 Octillery
-1 Max Elixir
-1 Trainer's Mail
-2 DCE - lower priority

+1 Delinquent
+1 Judge
+1 Ninja Boy - increased versatility
+3 Y - increases chances of hittig basic energy with Max Elixir, but still support 2-3 Geomancy full attachments

I hope you find these comments helpful.
