Deck Primer

The tankiest Stage 1 pokemon with 300 HP is the highest seen to date. So let's make this bad boy even tankier.

Deck strategy: Try to go first so you can set up a couple of Duraludon (Stellar Crown) and a Varoom (Shrouded Fable) , use 70 HP from Shrouded Fable with 1 retreat cost. You got Rotom V (Crown Zenith) and Forest Seal Stone (Silver Tempest) to help with the setup.

Revavroom (Paldean Fates)  ability Rumbling Engine discards 1 energy and draws until you have 6 cards in hand. A true help

The tankiest Stage 1 pokemon with 300 HP is the highest seen to date. So let's make this bad boy even tankier.

Deck strategy: Try to go first so you can set up a couple of Duraludon (Stellar Crown) and a Varoom (Shrouded Fable) , use 70 HP from Shrouded Fable with 1 retreat cost. You got Rotom V (Crown Zenith) and Forest Seal Stone (Silver Tempest) to help with the setup.

Revavroom (Paldean Fates)  ability Rumbling Engine discards 1 energy and draws until you have 6 cards in hand. A true help in setting up your Mamoth Titan Archaludon ex (Surging Sparks)  because you better have 2 energies in your discard pile before you evolve so its ability Assembly Alloy attaches 2 metal energy from the discard pile to any of your metal pokemon including itself.

There is Rigid Band (151) and Full Metal Lab (Temporal Forces) to reduce incoming damage by 60 HP, making its effective HP 360. Tank a couple of shots and use Professor Turo's Scenario (Paradox Rift) to cycle a new Archaludon ex (Surging Sparks) exhausting your opponent's resources.

Use Counter Catcher (Paradox Rift) and Boss’s Orders (Ghetsis) (Paldea Evolved) to 1HKO any basic ex up to 220 HP, or use Relicanth (Temporal Forces)  ability Memory Dive to deal massive damage and 1HKO any pokemon by using Duraludon (Stellar Crown) raging hammer attack.

Now to annoy your opponents even more, bench a Genesect (Shrouded Fable) with preferably Bravery Charm (Paldea Evolved) attached to prevent Dusknoir (Shrouded Fable)  Cursed Blast ability or save it on your 2-prizer like Fezandipiti ex (Shrouded Fable)   and use Rescue Board (Temporal Forces) Its ability Ace nullifier prevents your opponent from using their ace spec till they knock it out or remove it with Lost Vacuum (Crown Zenith)

As for our own ace spec, I went with Hero's Cape (Temporal Forces) you can probably replace it with Scoop Up Cyclone (Twilight Masquerade) or another ace spec of your choice, as it's not that important with a 40 to 80 HP difference with or without a Stadium.

If you do go with Hero's Cape (Temporal Forces) you will get effective 430 HP with the Full Metal Lab (Temporal Forces) stadium in play.

You can also try replacing Genesect (Shrouded Fable) with new Gastrodon (Surging Sparks) to give stage 2 decks an even harder time.

Edit- Added a couple of cancelling cologne for stall decks.

Have you considered useing secret box to search for a supporter, any of your tools, any of your item, and your full metal lab all while discarding energys.

 

1 more ultra for a turo's and def add switch tech.

 

Also I've found adaman to be busted in this deck which is why I'd replace a Cologne and a metal lab for 2 of the adamans.
