This decklist is actually on PTCGO as I find it easier to just show the cards in use etc.
(If this isn't allowed please let me know)

So I'm only running two Xerneas as I dont have my 3rd online yet. However I would switch out 1 Counter Energy for the 3rd Xerneas.
I've been told that running Glaceon GX is a smart move due to Zoroark GX being such a threat with big benches, but I'm not really sure I like 3 types of energy (i'd take out Counter Energy if I ran Glaceon) however I don't know if it is or isn't competitive, I'd like some views on it if possible.
Now the only reason I run Counter Energy is because of the lower count of Xerneas, I like having backup attackers, and as of yet I'm not too clued in on who would be a better backup attacker other than Garvantula and Bisharp as they only cost one energy, and garv is a dual type so hits a bunch of stuff for 2x damage.
I also run Parallel City because it is the one stadium that cripples the deck, and if I get it out before my opponent, they can't play over the top of mine.

My main question is, who should I take (if anyone) as a backup attacker?
Also is there a more competitive build other than this?

Many thanks.
