Standard Alolan Ninetales GX. Need help

Hi all!

I'm here looking for some help on building my deck! I'm a beginner that knows the rules and how to play but at deck building I can't get a hold of

here is a list of what i already got (and eventually want to get)

Pokemons:

- 4 Alolan vulpix
- 2 alolan ninetales
- 1 alolan ninetales GX (want to add 1 more)
- 1 Tapu Fini GX
- 1 lapras GX (thinking of needing a 2nd)
- 2 Tauros GX
- (wan't to add 2 tapu lele's)

Supporters: (pretty low on supporters)

- 2 Professor Kukui
- 3 Sycamore
- 2 N's (want to add 2 more)

Items:

- 2 Rescue Stretchers
- 2 Choice bands
- 4 ultra balls

Stadium:

-2 Brooklet Hill

Energy:

- 12 Water (at this point)
- 4 DCE

(49 cards if I add on the WANTS)

Now my question is what should I add or change in here. I'm very flexible but would like to keep the Ninetales (Because of Luminous Barrier) and ninetales gx as main focus. I tried multiple ways in PTCGO but couldn't really get it balanced. I hope someone has some idea's for me and would like to share it:)

Thanks for the help in advance!
 
Not bad, just missing a few things. I'll include definitions of the cards in case you don't recognize them. Here are my suggestions:

-1 Lapras GX: Cool card, but not needed as much and I'd (personally) prefer to setup a Ninetales GX instead.
-2 Tauros GX: Once again, cool card but not needed to dearly in this deck.
-3 Water Energy: I (personally) don't like playing a lot of energy in my deck as your hand may clog up at the wrong time, so taking out three is fine in my opinion.

+4 Aqua Patches: item (Attach a Water Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Benched Water Pokémon).In this deck, these cards are to good to pass up. Ninetales GX discards energy, so retrieving them is important.
+2 Alolan Ninetales GX: This is just a precaution, as it is always good to have more than one card in decks (at least in this meta). Don't worry if you can't get them, Rescue Stretcher will help you retrieve them.
+2 Remoraid: To evolve into Octillery.
+2 Octillery: ability (Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw cards until you have 5 cards in your hand). This will help you with draw support when you are running low on cards in your hand and you need something like an Ultra Ball.
+3 Random Receiver: item (Reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal a Supporter card. Put it into your hand. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck). If you can't get both Tapu Lele GX, I'd suggest playing these instead as they are much cheaper and help a good amount.
+2 Guzma: supporter (Switch 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon. If you do, switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon). This card helps with attacking the Pokémon that you have weakened with Ice Blade early on.

I hope this helps. Let me know what you think and good luck!

Edit: I removed the links and added definitions just to be on the safe side (posting rules). Sorry about that!

I play with a 2-2 Baby Ninetales/Ninetales GX split personally and it works out beautifully. One thing I would look into is the Tapu Koko Promo. Spread damage is huge currently.
 
Thanks for responding:D I'll try and work with this and let you know how it went when I played some games
