Following are a few thoughts for your consideration:
  • My personal preference is not to run Starmie at all for several reasons: a 1-1 line is inconsistent; its Ability can be countered; it occupies a valuable bench spot; and its an easy 1HKO prize. I run 2 Energy Retrieval and a Fisherman for discarded R energy recovery purposes.
  • Without running Tapu Lele GX(s), accessing the 1 Kiawe will not be "easy;" so, Kiawe will not be very effective most likely.
  • Why no Stadiums (e.g., Brooklet Hill or Scorched Earth)?
  • With 4 Guzma, 1 Switch, 4 FFBs, and opponents targeting Tools like Float Stones, I think the 2 are excessive. Have you tested Acerola and/or Escape Rope?
I hope you find these comments helpful.
