Since the current format of the game entails having both boards take up tons of bench space, Empoleon has strong potential for such a small-costing attack. The ideal startup is to lead with Eevee and use its ability to evolve to Glaceon GX, which locks up my opponent's Tapu Lele GX and other potential setups. In other situations, it can be used to soften the board for Empoleon. Manaphy EX helps take up board space for Empoleon while providing cheap retreat.

Well from what I see here, I think a 2-4 split of the Glaceon GX line is weird. I'd bump it up by 1, and just as long as you start with a way to get Lele and an enrgy, you should be fine. One big problem though... Manaphy is shut off by Glaceon... might want to add a couple of float stones for that, maybe by getting splitting up your tool choice, or dropping some of your water energy or DCE.

Glaceon only affects the opponent's board.

OK, I guess. Not how I remember it but sure. I'd still try and fit one more in there, just so it's more consistent. I've played with a Bulu/Vikavolt deck where I have prized two out of the trhee more often than I'd like. If it's a staple of the deck, I would highly HIGHLY recommend using 3 or 4. Same for Guzma.

Yeah, definitely should, just gotta figure out what to cut for it...

 

[John InCENAroar]

I'd cut a DCE for the Glaceon (you won't be attacking with it THAT much, are you?) and the Acerola for guzma (You don't have a ton of things you really want to pick up from what I can tell.)
