Personally, I'm not a fan of Super Scoop Up or Timer Ball in this deck. Both cards are unreliable. Maybe replace Timer Ball with Evosoda? That way you're guaranteed an evolution that turn. I would replace the SSU with another Acerola and Skyla.

I would swap Shauna out for N and the 3 Switch for Float Stones.

Ok i will try some of those ideas.

Yeah, there's no reason to not play N over Shauna in any format. Especially if you can afford Gardevoir GX's. Hell, I don't have Gardys. Then again, I would if I didn't play max rarity, but those are personal problems. I really like a 1-of Fisherman in this deck, despite it being unorthadox. It grabs a handful of Energy at once, so if a big Gardy gets KO'd, you don't get as much backlash for it. I would also suggest playing 2 Field Blower and Rescue Stretcher, since it boosts your consitency, and makes sure you don't have problems with Po Town or Garbotoxin. If you're not playing Leles, then drop the Koko for a Vulpix. It ensures that you can even start setting up since a T1 Brigette is super unlikely. In fact, if you don't play Leles, drop the Brigette altogether. As good of a card as it is, if you can't reliably get it when you need it, then it actually hurts you since you'll likely draw into it when you're already set up, or already at a point in the game where you lose. Timer Ball isn't worth it's space, and Scoop Up, while it is a good card, isn't good in this kind of deck. I also think 1 Choice Band is really good. If you already used Secret Spring for the turn or don't have the Energy, Choice Band can be a life saver. It's also good for the mirror and for Tapu Lele(because people WILL try to kill you with Lele). It also works with Gallade, but I'm pretty sure you won't be OHKO-ing with Gallade, so I guess it doesn't matter since it's a 2HKO attack either way.
