I'm building a steel type deck, and I want a card that can retrieve Steel Energy from the discard pile. I found two cards, Magnezone and MetagrossGX. Which one would be better for a deck?

MAGNEZONE:

METAGROSS:

Also, what is a Pokemon/trainer card that's good at obtaining steel energy from the deck?

Hey Drifty? I know this sounds crazy, but for some stupid reason, my stinkernet is not loading the Magnezone card link you gave. I was wondering if you could post the card's information on here. If so, that would be a huge help. Thanks!
As you're looking for a Pokemon that could get Steel energy specifically from the discard pile, Metagross GX would be the way to go. That Magnezone card draws Steel energy from the deck, while the Metagross GX attaches the energy from the discard pile to the Pokemon that are currently in play.
Thank you for the picture! Now, my answer...

As JustATypicalPerson pointed out, since you are looking for a card to get Metal Energy from the discard pile specifically, Metagross is the Pokemon to go for. However, Metagross is not the only card that can recycle Metal Energy.
There are others such as the Energy Retrieval, Brock's Grit, Rayquaza from Guardians Rising, and Munchlax from Unified Minds. These are just some examples.
But if you want more, here are a couple Google searches I did;

As far as getting them from your deck though, you can try using a Mallow, Energy Spinner, Energy Loto, Solgaleo GX from Sun & Moon, a Red & Blue, or even the Magnezone you mentioned. Again, here are some links; https://www.google.com/search?q=Tcg energy search cards
This is all I know about this. I hope it was helpful and good luck on that deck!
