Hi guys! I have been working on this deck for a while and I have not tested it, nor have I gotten any feedback for it. I would appreciate some advice on what to add, what to remove, etc. Also, please correct me if the format, legality of a card, or strategy for the deck is wrong (I don't often play competitive ptcg). Thanks!

Strategy:

The Strategy is to use Mega Beedrill's Hazard Stinger to poison and paralyze your opponent. Then using its free retreat cost, switch in Lurantis GX to use Flower Supply and charge up Beedrill for another Hazard Stinger. Ideally, M Beedrill should be the main attacker so you can reliably give yourself a free turn with paralysis. However, if the situation requires it, Lurantis GX can cope on its own with Solar Blade. Promo Lurantis is a nice little boost to attack power, while Seviper boosts the already great poison damage. Shaymin-EX already fares well in most decks anyways, and can give a nice bonus to draw power. Bad things that could happen with this deck are:
Your opponent's pokemon retreating
Item Lock
Not having a pokemon to attack with (which would happen often, at least in my eyes)
Not having bench space

Please give me some feedback and constructive criticism!
 
A couple of things
1) Shaymin isn't legal anymore. Tapu Lele GX is a nice choice
2) 4 Spirit Link seems excessive try 2
3) Replace 1-2 Lysandre with Guzma
4) Add 2-3 N
5) VS Seeker is no longer legal
6) Add 2 Sycamore
7) Remove Hau and Potion and
8) Add 2 ultra ball
Ending Thoughts:
There are 2 ways to play this kind of deck. 1 is the way you are playing it with lurantis. The other is with venusaur from shining legends which allows you to double the grass energy allowing you to hazard stinger every turn. This is a great 1st stab at a deck! Keep trying!
 
Shaymin EX is no longer in standard. If you have Tapu Lele GXs, those would be a good replacement. Herbal Energies are also not in the standard format, maybe putting a couple more max potions for when Beedrill has no energy. For Standard, Lysandre needs to be switched with Guzma, which can actually work better than normal lysandre, since you can switch your pokemon with it as well. N is a must-have, meaning you need more. I'd get rid of Hau/Potion. You also need more sycamore. I'd get rid of Vs. Seeker, because they're not Standard. You could also replace Nest Ball with Bridgette/ 1 more Ultra Ball.
