List comes out to around 80 bucks or so. Obvious upgrades could be made but it isn't terrible.
 
Solid List. I would only cut the Hau for a judge and possibly cut the order pads for 2 choice bands and another judge. Here's a list. (w/ a few changes)

1 Volcanion Prism Star (FLI 31)
2 Zoroark-GX (SLG 53)
4 Empoleon (UPR 34)
2 Zorua (SLG 52)
1 Prinplup (UPR 33)
4 Piplup (UPR 32)


8 Water Energy (SM 166)
4 Double Colorless Energy (SLG 69)

4 Rare Candy (SM 129)
4 Ultra Ball (SM 135)
2 Choice Band (GRI 121)
4 Nest Ball (SM 123)
4 Aqua Patch (GRI 119)
2 Rescue Stretcher (GRI 130)
3 Guzma (BUS 115)
2 Lillie (UPR 125)
4 Tate & Liza (CLS 148)
2 Judge (UPR 108)
3 Brooklet Hill (GRI 120)

In the decklist I changed the 3 Order pad for 2 choice bands and a judge and then the hau for another judge. This is because Hau is a waste of a supporter for turn and playing judge can be disruptive for your opponent. The two choice bands are there to help w/ OHKO. The order pads were cut because of how situational the card can be and you only have a 50% chance of using the card. (Terrible against garb) Cut the counter energy and the Latios for two nest ball since getting the zoroarks are important and you would rather spread w/ volcanion because its 20 everywhere while pressuring the active. If they retreat the heavily dmg pokemon you can just drag it back up w/ volcanions ability and 2HKO. Testing will still need to be done but hope my input was helpful.
