Get the Zoroarks you layzee boy. Isn't this just a worse version of GoliGarb? What purpose does Octillery have, other than "why not"?

draw support

I too run a Golisopod GX deck, as well as other "setup" decks; and from my experience, I find that running 3 Brigette are very, very helpful in establishing a full/semi-full bench T1 consistently (90%+) of the time. So, consider adding 2 more Brigette.

Secondly, running 4 Professor Sycamore and a 2-2 Octillery line seem excessive. Further, Octillery is an easy Guzma-1HKO target. Consider replacing 2 Professor Sycamore with 2 Lillie to provide improved (IMO) overall card-draw capability. I usually run no supplemental card-draw support provided via Pokémon (e.g., Octillery, Oranguru, etc.); but when i do, I favor Oranguru since it is a Basic with decent HP and could also be used as an attacker if need be. I'd suggest dropping the 2-2 Octillery line for 2 Oranguru. This would result also in freeing up 2 slots that can be used for the aforementioned extra Brigettes.

Instead of running 2 Rescue Stretcher, why not replace 1 with a Super Rod which could be used to recover and recycle G energy too?

I hope you find these comments helpful.
