I’m thinking of adding another Acerola, but I’m not sure what to remove. I’m thinking of removing the Diancie, but idk. Thanks!
 
Ok, so aggro isn't exactly my wheelhouse, but here's some suggestions:

- I would drop the GRI Garb to 2
- Maybe reduce Trubbish count to 3
- Consider upping Buzzwole to 4
- Consider baby Nihilego since you are running a deckt hat forces a 6-Prize game.
- Consider Kartana-GX so you can play the "5 Prize game" thanks to it;s GX, and it's ability helps too.
- Prism Energy over Rainbow Energy
- Not sure if Acerola is useful here considering the high damage cap Expanded wields
- Computer Search might be a better Ace Spec. Or Dowsing Machine. SUC only works in a few decks. It doesn't make much sense here.
- you need 4 ultra ball
 
- I would drop the GRI Garb to 2
- Maybe reduce Trubbish count to 3

Maybe it’s just me or I’ve found the third GRI Garbodor really helpful.

- Consider upping Buzzwole to 4

Will do, I’ve been having problems with the count.

- Consider baby Nihilego since you are running a deckt hat forces a 6-Prize game.

Ok I’ll see how it goes.

- Consider Kartana-GX so you can play the "5 Prize game" thanks to it;s GX, and it's ability helps too.

I’ll try to get a new one and see how helpful it is.

- Prism Energy over Rainbow Energy

Prism Energy doesn’t work on Garbodor.

- Not sure if Acerola is useful here considering the high damage cap Expanded wields

Nah I’ve found it really helpful.

- Computer Search might be a better Ace Spec. Or Dowsing Machine. SUC only works in a few decks. It doesn't make much sense here.

If only I can afford it lol, I wanted to add it but this is my only Ace Spec, so...

- you need 4 ultra ball

Ok, I’ll try it.

So these are changes?

+1 Buzzwole
+1 Nihilego
+1 Kartana GX
+ 1 Ultra Ball

-1 Rescue Stretcher
-1 Scoop Up Cyclone
-1 Professor Kukui
-1 Guzma

I would highly recommend Pheromosa & Buzzwole GX as it is ony 3-4 bucks and is incredibly powerful in Expanded - in that deck particularly.
