Yay! Just coming back to the TCG after a break and Tapu Bulu/Vikavolt is a deck that has caught my attention for a while now. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Guzma 3
Volkner 2
Skyla 2
Gardenia 2

Field Blower 2
Switch 2
Choice Band 4

(Tapu Leles should be going in for both Skylas when that box comes out)

I know, I’m just using it as a replacement until Lele price drop. The final deck will of course have Leles instead of them.

4 Cynthia, 3 or 4 Hala if you hit your GX attack quickly, probably 1 Judge, 2-3 Tate & Liza, 1 TV Reporter. All those are just choices, just pick and choose.

Editing to add that you should consider Sophocles too.

Were this me, I'd remove the Gardenia's, the nest balls, the Skyla's, and maybe even 1 Choice Band to add 2 Tapu Lele GX, 2 Judge/Copycat/Tate & Liza, and maybe a Dunsparce? You really do need more draw power as well, at least until you get set up. We are rotating and losing the dreaded Espeon EX, so you don't need to worrry about Vikavolt being devolved, but still, having 1 of the Chargabug isn't a horrible idea either in case you struggle to hit both Vikavolt/Rare candy. Otherwise, your list looks similar to mine. Maybe the new Tapu Bulu non-GX might serve well in this too?
