Maybe Landorus/Shaymin to get energy out of the discard and redistribute in the mid to late game?
If you wanted to go the other way and build a deck around the Gigalith, I'd match it up with Donphan and Landorus so that you are deliberately powering up revenge cannon with damage on your own Pokemon.
Just saw you are going BW-on, so obviously some of this won't fit but there you go anyway.
As you said, BW-on is probably the safe way to go. By the time we get DBDB, the HS block will likely be gone. Gigalith is a bad choice, just inexperience and stupidity on my part. Landorus is an idea, but frankly I don't think it would do too good. Thanks again for the input, but I think Gigalith just isn't good enough.

Personally, this is what I'd do:
Out: 17
- 2-2-2 Gigalith
- 2 Rare Candy
- 1 Switch
- 3 Ultra Ball
- 1 Heavy Ball
- 3 Cheren
- 1 Eviolite
In:
+ 4 Pokemon Communication
+ 1 Terrakion EX
+ 1 Tornadus EX
+ 2 Landorus
+ 2 Fighting Energy
+ 1 Super Rod
Other things I'd suggest if you were doing other than BW-On
+ 3 Pokemon Collector (If you were doing HGSS-On rather than BW-On)
+ 3/4 Junk Arm (Again, HGSS-On)
+ 2/3/4 Sage's Training
I'm not sure what else I'd put in as far as BW-On is concerned, but those are my suggestions for some stuff to put in.
This all looks good, but I do have a couple of questions to clear up. First is about Tornadus-EX. I'm sorry, but I fail to see what is so great about him. I mean, doing 60 for [C][C] is awesome, but you need a stadium for that. I don't really have any in this deck. The other attack just does 100 for [C][C][C], which is also good, but there is the drawback of a discarded energy with the flip of tails, and Gigas almost matches the damage. It's definetely a good card, and I'll be sure to include one if it can make a good difference, but I would just like to hear why to include 1 copy unless its insanely awesome.
the 4 communications might be difficult to pull off as you need a pokemon every time you use one, but might be a good addition.
another concern is about the EX count. There are 8 of them. Granted, they are amazing and great, but the trouble here is that they need so much energy to attack, and more often then not, I'll be forced to start with one. 2/3 of the Pokemon in the deck are EX, and that means just 3 KOs for my opponent to win. Isn't that a it dangerous? Especially when Gigas is OHKO'd by Terrakion, Terrakion-EX, and almost killed by Landorus. Mewtwo also is resisted by zoroark and Darkrai, Tyranitar, even though he's still awesome. The speed is the main thing I'm worried about. Terrakion-EX takes 3 turns to prepare energy for, and he's required if I don't want to be attaching a terrible 1 energy per turn the entire game. I'm doubtful as to whether it can keep up with other extremely fast decks. Is this deck good enough to build when the cards come out, or is it doomed to fail in this crazy fast format? I'll ask again, is it good enough?
tl;dr : Why is Tornadus-EX necessary? he's a good card, but will he be worth it? Is having 8 EXs in one deck too dangerous? Is this deck fast enough to be competitive at all? How can speed be improved? and lastly, Will building this deck when the cards enough be worth it?
You guys are so much better at this game than I am :redface:
I guess 7 1/2 years still haven't gotten me anywhere
