Tried playing brock with the new cards. New geodude is worse, new graveler is better and the new golem is somewhat better. It's so bulky it's like an ex and it gives you something to fight against other decks unlike the old golem that essentially kills its self to kill mewtwo.
Onix is interesting because it was the best 1 point basic in the game.

I had used it in a no ex deck along side farfetch'd to some success but now I see it as the thing that's holding back the brock deck. Both golems have good pay off for their set up but onix does not help them set up, it itself takes too long to get going and 70 damage is too little to late once it does, it is just not a good front liner.
What the deck needs now is a new onix, one that can apply pressure while you stack energy on your golem. Maybe we'll get a onix ex in that elite 4 set people were theorizing will exist
