The main idea of the deck is to spread out damage with Koko, thereby making it easy for Spike Rend to dish out 90 damage (Kukui and Choice Band notwithstanding) for a single energy. You're streaming out cheap, 1-prize, 1-energy attackers while also locking down abilities with Garbotoxin.

Since you are running mainly grass pokemon, and you don't play that many basic energies, do you think it would work with revitalizer and/or rescue stretcher as your recovery card?
 
Cool idea and I wish the set was out in English to properly test this idea. Most of the changes will be theory based.

Right off the bat, I would flip the Koko and DCE counts if you plan on using Koko as your main spreader while, at the same time, hit DCE when you need it.
-1 Tapu Koko
+1 DCE

If you aren't using Lele, more Nest Ball and/or Timer Ball will help set up your board. Even if your opponent streams Garbodors, they are only taking one prize each turn. For cards to replace, I would honestly take out Kukui. Unless I am missing something, you are going to two-shot almost everything and Kukui doesn't put anything into range.
-3 Kukui
+1 Nest/Timer Ball
+2 Free slots

For the free slots, additional draw Supporters, a third Po Town, 1-2 Counter Catchers, more Nest/Timer Ball and/or a fourth Rainbow Energy. Counter Catchers because you will need a turn or two to stall so Koko can do an extra 20 everywhere without sacrificing a Supporter for the turn. The rest are to help boost consistency.

Sounds logical, adjusted the OP build.
