I run the Lillie engine because I'm broke and just bought jirachis for a charizard Deck.
Goal of the Deck is to hit for 150 to 300 with ampha gx through power recharge and impact bolt and through the use of electro power and choice band. I use lele for search, zeraora for free retreat, zeb for secondary draw engine (but isn't really used tbh...), koko gx for switch hits (pretty much ohko pikacrom), and kolo * for recovery. Any advise of helpful and thanks in advance.
FYI I have no thunder chicken/ ninetails and my jirachis are going in a charizard build... So Rip
 
Suggestions:

-If you have no Zapdos, Stunfisk could work as an alternative, with a solid 50 for one energy, plus extra from Electropower.
-Given how you're running a 240 HP attacker that doesn't require much energy to attack, Max Potion could help spare it from knockouts.
-Although it requires coin flips, electrocharger could be an option for this deck to keep reusing electropowers early on before you get Ampharos-GX in play.
-Pokemon Communication is not very well suited for this deck, as it only has 16 pokemon. I'd go for more ultra ball than them.
-Viridian Forest is a little overboard, as you already play Volkner to retrieve energy.
-I think Oranguru might be better than a thin Zeb-line, as resources are important to keep in this deck.

Anyways, good luck with your deck.
 
GET THIS MAN SOME MAX POTION
I think you’re banking a little too much on Electrical GX, because even though it’s 8 Pokémon, Marshadow exists. Besides that, you still need at least 1 Ampharos up quickly on T2, which you hope to be doing. The way I see it, you have a very small chance that you can pull any Pokémon you want by topdeck + PokeCom, ~7%. Still, very unreliable. If this deck truly hopes to perform well, it needs to have that one Ampharos up very fast, very consistently.
-2 Viridian Forest
-1 Rescue Stretcher
-1 Blitzle
-1 Zebstrika
-1 Naganadel (What was that there for anyway?)
-1 Lightning Energy

+2 Timer Ball
+2 Ultra Ball
+2 Nest Ball
+1 Oranguru
That’s my personal opinion, and now you have 13 outs for Pokémon search.
Maybe you’re doing fine with your Pokémon search, thank you very much, and can consistently get Ampharos up T2, and to that I say kudos. The great thing about the Deck Garage is that if you don’t like the suggestions you’re getting, you can just say “Okay, cool” and not use them, and nobody would be the wiser.
So please, if you think these suggestions are trash, please ignore them.
