Hello Pokébeach. This is a deck I have constructed based on Xerneas and Xerneas BREAK. The strategy is quite simple: use Geomancy to quickly get Energy onto the board. Then, use Xerneas BREAK's Life Stream to hit for huge damage. Delphox works as a brilliant secondary attacker that can sometimes hit for even larger damage.

Pokémon: 17
4x Xerneas (STS)
3x Xerneas BREAK
3x Fennekin
1x Braixen
3x Delphox (FCO)
3x Tapu Lele-GX

Trainers:
4x N
3x Professor Sycamore
3x Guzma
2x Skyla
1x Brigette
1x Acerola
1x Brock's Grit

4x Ultra Ball
4x Max Elixir
3x Rare Candy
2x Enhanced Hammer
2x Field Blower

Energy:
13x Fairy Energy (Basic)
 
I recently have been working with Delphox BREAK in the thought that post rotation and post Burning Shadows this card will destroy most things involved.... But it was slow to set up. I have worked it with M Mewtwo EX and Flareon EX with little success. I started using Xerneas BREAK and eliminated the Delphox BREAKS and this deck now runs FAST! I actually run it with no Tapu LELE GX and am still running consistent. It never hurt lat game to hit Metagross GX for 540. I am using Shauna in order to continue recycling the needed cards in the deck.

I would be curious about that deck list too, since I initially liked the idea of Xerneas Break/Delphox, but I tested the deck online in a few matches (with a few modifications for the current meta - with and without Leles) and it seems to have trouble keeping up even with tier x decks due to both attackers being extremely frail. It also seems to be an issue that you'd want to evolve the Fennekins asap in order to reduce the opponent's chances to be able to take easy KOs, but then you can't use Max Elixir on them anymore. If I keep Fennekins on my bench for 1-2 turns and gather energy to them I basically just ask my opponent to lysandre me. And once all that energy is gone Stream of Life is also useless and there's no way to recycle the energy fast enough and protect your active at the same time. But maybe I was just dealt really bad hands/playing it wrong idk.

looks nice, i have played with something similar before and did post the deck list, it worked fine but had some inconsistencys as i wasnt playing tapu lele. i dont like the idea of max elixirs in the deck specially if you are using both xerneas break to attack and delphox. as fennekins are a easy target for a price and you want to evolve them ASAP. i like the list but i would definetely remove max elixirs, maybe 1 tapu lele and add 1 braixen and a delphox break just to make delphox alot tankier and fairy garden just for the free retreat between your first xerneas who charges up the bench and the attackers
