This deck has been working well for me so far on PTCGO. Just wanna hear other people's thoughts, if any.
 
I’d cut Acerola, both letters and 1 Gardy for 1 Guzma, 1 Remoraid, 1 Octillery and 1 Gallade
 
Been playing a similar list. I like cutting one letter and adding one guzma. That's it though seems solid otherwise. Being able to Skyla for letter is much more useful than one would consider. I like Acerola a lot one is fine still I think. You could consider the -1 Gardy +1 Gallade move. I've been playing this but I very rarely use Gallade. I think I like 4 Gardy better.
 
I like the idea of adding another Diancie. I'll do +1 Diancie -1 Prof. Letter. I do like having Prof. Letter so I can use Skyla with it. Thanks for the suggestions.
 
I run a similar build. I agree that you should only run one Professor's Letter. One has worked just fine for me. The only Supporter I don't agree with is Lillie. You're going to want to use Brigette turn 1 99% of the time, which limits Lillie's effectiveness the rest of the game. I tried Lillie in my deck and I always opted for Sycamore over Lillie. I opted for Oranguru over Octillery, but that's more a personal choice. Oranguru can OHKO baby Alolan Ninetales, which completely walls your deck because you have no way to deal with it. For that reason alone, I'd consider teching in one Gallade.

Just out of curiosity, are you playing a Gardevoir GX deck that is in the current standard format or is your deck post rotation? I think Lillie is a great addition in post rotation because you won't always want to sycamore without vs seeker anymore. Imagine if you had 2 sycamore cards in your hand, you wouldn't want to dump one unless you absolutely had to. Lillie might allow you to draw an N and maybe other cards you need without discarding vital cards.
 
Wait, is this an exact 60 of Andrew Mahone's list? If it is, there's issues. I wouldn't cut Letter altogether, but I would cut it down to 1, since 2 doesn't help much if you already draw into fairy Energy. I would personally cut a 4th Garde for Gallade, since if your opponent gets out a baby Ninetales, you lose the game, end of story. Gallade is just an amazing 1-prizer, it's bulky, it does good damage, and its' ability is good. All while you already play the Ralts line. I would drop the Acerola since I don't really know what it does for this kind of deck where you are NOT basic, or Golisopod. Up the Guzma count to 3, possibly 4, since you burn your deck more than you want to. And the GX isn't really an excuse for this, since you want to be attacking for damage the whole game. I haven't playtested Gardevoir at all, since I think it's super overhyped like Mega Mewtwo early last season, and ended up getting destroyed by Yveltal. I think something similar will happen this season, and the money people spent on Gardes will be wasted. I don't really know what I would play, just something that beats Evolutions and probably something Metal.

My deck is post-rotation. Even in a situation like the one you listed, I would still use Sycamore over Lillie. Lillie is simply inferior compared to Sycamore when it comes to pure draw power. How often do you get the full 6 cards from Lillie? Even getting 4-5 cards from it can be tough. I view it as a very situational Supporter so I would argue that it loses it's effectiveness a bit post-rotation because VS Seeker is gone. Just the way I look at it.

You know what, I'm going to go ahead and agree with you about Lillie. It is pretty difficult to get the maximum of 6 cards with Lillie, I just can't get over the fact that it's possible to discard multiple sycamores now unless you happen to have an N ready. Then you could run into the problem that you still draw more than one sycamore and you have to throw away draw power to be able to make a play. Perhaps the addition of Shauna would be good here since you'll always be able to switch out your hand for 5 cards.
