Anything specific you’re having problems with?

well i was just looking for peoples input on Jirachi over Volkner/Tapu Lele GX that i was running with it. It seems more consistent if i play it correctly. But it is more prone for misplays.
Thanks again.

Well, misplays are solved by playing the deck for longer.
Volkner I don’t think is an ideal choice for this deck, so I think you did yourself a favor by taking it out. HOWEVER, I would include a Lele (singular) and a Bill’s Analysis (singular) for early game Rare Candies and the like. If you like that clunkfest 2019 idea, go -1 Pal Pad, -1 Energy Recycler. Neither the 3rd Pal Pad or the Energy Recycler is worthwhile, because Energy Recycler, in this deck, is inferior to Energy Recycle System (CES) IMO.

try adding a 1-1 fairy alolan ninetales for candys

I'd take out one Pal Pad and a Counter Catcher (or both) for a thicker Lucario line. The whole point of a non-GX deck is Prize advantage, and 3 Pal Pad gives you 10 copies of Cynthia which I think is a bit overkill.

I think Bill's analysis is something that really helps the deck. The other thing that always held the deck back was the need for a dual attachment. Exp share can help keep the basic fighting in play and you would just have to add dce most turns. Might be worth considering counter gain/energy since the deck never sets up fast

YOU NEED LYCANROCS

You can't play a cynthia AND a guzma in one turn so the only way to KO something on the bench that has over 100 hp is lycanroc. Also it has a good gx attack.

Cut the guzmas, counter catchers, shrines, 1 nest ball, and 2 pal pads for 1 ditto prism, 1 rockruff, 2 lycanroc GX, 1 adventure bag, 2 brooklet hills (play fighting gible, dragon gabite, and fighting garchomp), 1 riolu, and 1 lucario.

Ok, let me explain that.
I cut the "gust" cards (guzma, counter catcher) for better gust cards (2-2 lycanroc line)
I put ditto instead of 1 rockruff because ditto gives you "5" gible and "4" riolu and "2" rockruff.
The adventure bag does the same thing. It gives you "3" ways to hit a escape board while also giving you "3" ways to hit a choice band.
The brooklet hills replace the shrines as a stadium, while also giving you more "nest balls".
I would play the fighting gible so you can brooklet hill for it, the dragon gabite because it has a better weakness, and the fighting garchomp so you can hit for weakness on Zoro and Pikarom.
Then, I had 2 spots left which I easily filled with 1 more riolu and 1 more lucario
