This has too many win conditions to actually DO any damage to the opponent. (Board-state wise, not actual damage counters.) Even with Powerglass, Onyx discards ALL energy, meaning it would take 2 turns to power him up. And by the way there aren't many decks that don't run Switch or Latias, or even Kieran. You need cards like Eri and Miss Fortune Sisters, also Xeroisc, (forgot to mention that) so you almost GUARANTEE their loss of being able to switch out, retreat or switch. I like the creativity though, and with just a little bit of fine tuning, this can be SOME deck in the metagame unless you play Bolt, and for that you can just play a Thorns or two. But anyways, trust me, just a bit of work and this'll be great.

i agree with WafflzInTheHouse this deck is a bit too unreliable at its current state. the high count of spidops and ariados takes up a crazy amount of space, and restricts draw power and energy acceleration. i suggest going with the regi build plus area zero and precious trolley. not sure about supporter pokemon, but maybe mew and fez would be fine. also if youve got their attacker in the active spot and dont have any gust to get them away (so maybe you could run bundle or something) you can just hit them with the moon mirage and just pray.
