Looking for advice to improve the consistency and speed of the deck, as well as what could be changed to better face meta decks.

Pokemon: (15)

3 Tapu Koko GX, GRI 47 (Main Attacker)
3 Magnemite, UPR 81
3 Magnezone, BKT 54 (Energy Acceleration)
1 Xurkitree GX, UPR 142 (Counter/Wall)
2 Shining Lugia, SMP 82 (Counter)
1 Marshadow GX, BUS 80 (Counter)
2 Tapu Lele GX, GRI 60 (Set Up)

Trainers: (34)

4 Professor Sycamore
3 Cynthia
2 N
2 Guzma
2 Skyla
1 Fisherman
2 Acerola
4 Ultra Ball
2 Professor's Letter
3 Rare Candy
2 Float Stone
3 Fighting Fury Belt
2 Energy Retrieval
1 Order Pad
1 Rescue Stretcher

Energy: (11)
11 Lightning Energy


Tapu Koko:
Main attacker 2 hits everything relevant. GX attack is the main GX attack of the deck and is used to one shot Pokemon that stack up and keep energy such as Gardevoir or Dawn Wings.

Xurkitree:
Serves as a wall to any deck that focuses on special energy. GX attack is not used except to stall out.

Shining Lugia:
Serves as a decent non-GX attack that can take a hit thanks to its 130 HP.

Marshadow:
Only here as a Zoroark counter. By copying Tapu Koko's Sky High Claws it can one shot Zoroark.

Acerola:
Used with Tapu Koko's ability when the active has some danger on it to then retrieve the damaged pokemon.

Fighting Fury Belt:
Used to help Koko, Xurkitree, Marshadow and Lugia survive a bit better. Due to the focus on 2-shotting enemies there isn't a need for choice band.
