Standard Roar of The Lions Solgaleo-GX/Solgaleo-GX (New and Old)

This deck features the Solgaleo-GX Japanese promo from Legendary Starter Set 7. It well take a few months for it to be released in English, but it's an AMAZING TEK! When I first saw what it does I had to make a deck with it. So I revised the old (trash) Solgaleo-GX deck and added almost all the good Solgaleos and Zouark(Because who doesn't use him/her).

Pokémon (20)
4 Cosmog 64/149
1 Cosmoem 65/149
2 Solgaleo-GX 89/149
2 Solgaleo-GX 007/021 https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Solgaleo-GX_(Legendary_Starter_Set_7) (link to what it does)
3 Zorua 52/73
3 Zoroark-GX 43/73
3 Tapu Lele-GX 60/145
1 Solgaleo Prism 89/156
1 Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX 90/156

Trainer Cards (29)
4 Guzma 115/147
4 Cynthia 119/156
3 Professor Sycamore 101/119
2 Skyla 134/149
2 Brigette 134/162
1 Mt. Coronet 130/156
4 Ultra Ball 68/73
4 Rare Candy 129/149
2 Field Blower 125/145
2 Max Potion 128/145
1 Rescue stretcher 130/145

Energy Cards (11)
9 Steal Energy ∞/∞
2 Double Colorless Energy 69/73

IGNORE THIS IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE SOLGALEO-GX'S DO--------------------------------------------------------------
Both Solgaleo-GX's have the most HP a GX can have right now. (250) The origenal Solgaleo-GX one shots anything that isn't Decidueye or using Dumbbells and It takes two turns to get out and it's GX move sets itself up and your bench at once. (by the way, you can search for Special Energy with it) The new Solgaleo-GX only take two turns to get out and set up. First attack does 120 Damage and attaches two Basic Energy from discard to the bench, its GX heals all your Pokemon damage and all that plus retreating only costs one DCE. OH and its ability make all your Pokemon have NO WEAKNESS. OG leo-GX and Dusk Main are the attackers, new leo-GX and Prism leo are tek and set up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decks simple. First turn check deck to see if any leos are prized and get out Cosmog and zorua and either Dusk Mane or leo prism. (depends which leo-GX is prized, if none get another Cosmag) Next Turn get out a Solgaleo-GX and use its attack to set up your main attacker. Swich to an Attacker, get a Knockout then switch to a tek to reaset op the attacker. Use Zoroark and skyla to go through your deck and get what you need. Max Poition to keep your Solgaleo-GXs alive and Mt. Coronet so you don't completely run out of energy. OG leo-GX's ability essentially gives you free retreat so try to keap one alive. If not New leo-GX and Zoroark only need a DCE to retreat and you have four guzma.

As long as you get a good start and are able to recycle Energys, your basically unstoppable. Fire isn't even a problem, but there are counters. You take two or three turns to set up. So if the opponent can set up before you, your going to lose a leo or take a big hit which well slow you down. If theres an Espeon-EX, KILL IT! It ruins this deck and if you leos have damage, there dead/. This deck has alot of abilitys so Weavile can onshot you and any deck that plays Hoopa or baby Alolan Nintails well make your game slow and painful. Decks you want to watch out for: Decidueye/Lefeon(if they play Espeon-EX) Ultra Necrozma-GX/Malamar Zouark-GX/Weavile and any deck that plays Hoopa with the GX/EX apility.

IMO, your deck is inherently "slow" to setup and repeatedly get the necessary energy attached onto your Sogaleo GXs. Have you ever considered using the UPR Magnezone as part of an energy-attachment acceleration engine? Otherwise, I forsee the lengthy time needed to get the necessary energy attachment to be a majjor concern. Another option to consider would be to employ Registeel as a starter.

You don't include a Stage 2 Pokemon with a Stage 2 tech to power it up. This makes the deck even more clunky and will continue to be "slow" to setup. You also don't need Registeel whatsoever because Solgaleo GX is meant to use Sol Burst GX to add energy from your deck to your Solgaleos in play. Plus, you add a copy of prism start Solgaleo so that you can recycle the energy you have in your discard pile.

If you really wanted to add energy acceleration, Turbo Storm Rayquaza would be the best bet.
