I've been using this list and have found it to be very inconsistent. I don't know if it's just me having bad luck 10 matches in a row, but anyways any suggestions would be welcomed :)

This is a nice build, very similar to mine. What are you finding are your biggest issues?

The nest balls are a great way to get your Sylveon on the field, but there seems to be quite a lack of Fairy energy, thats 1 in every ten cards. I have 12, and use energy recycler, fisherman and such to get them back. It looks like you might lose a Sylveon in the process of magical ribbon-ing the rest of your bench?

Consider Cutiefly/ Ribombee, I use Rimbombee ability 'Honey Gather' to get two Fairy energy to prep my bench. I also just found a Fairy Comfey Guardians Rising that has Ability: Flower Shield, Your Fairy Pokemon are unaffected by Special Conditions.

My son plays Gardevoir and the main issue we've had is looking for a replacement for T1 Brigette and T2 Gardevoir.
We've taken the stance now (rightly or wrongly) that it's better to strive for a T2 Garde, rather than getting a full-ish bench out.

Had a play with Sylveon vs Steven's Resolve/Nest Ball, and preferring the latter. He's playing in a Cup on Saturday so proof will be in the playing!

Obviously that doesn't help your situation if you really want to play Sylveon!

However, if you're going Max Potion/Acerola (would go bigger on them) then you're not planning big KOs, so you don't need as many energy, but more a means of getting energy back from discard (which you don't have, in Energy Retrieval, or similar).

You could try Pokemon Fan Club instead of Lillie, plus a Pal Pad for getting Cynthia/Guzma back.
 
I think this deck has tons of potential, but it has a ways to go. Let me give you a couple of my suggestions. (You don't have to use these, I'm also not a pro yet. x3)

1# Alolan Ninetales GX
Alolan Ninetales GX is such a amazing card, and great for any Stage 2 or Evolution decks, because it lets you search for 2 items whenever you evolve it. This isn't really a suggestion, but more like my personal preference, because it doesn't look like your going for a Beacon deck. However, if you have any extra spaces later on in your deck, I would highly recommend adding it.

2# Tapu Lele UPR
I'm not completely sure why you added it, unless you had a strategy going on. It isn't a terrible card, but you have way more powerful options you could use in it's spot. (Such as adding Ninetales, as I stated above!) However, you do have a 4/2 Sylveon GX line going on. I understand you want an Eevee in your starting hand, which is a great idea. However, you'd always have two Eevees left over, so I recommend adding another Sylveon GX (or even +2 more, if you really wanted to reach).

Besides that, your deck looks great! Sylveon GX is an amazing card when used correctly, and I feel this deck can achieve it. One last suggestion is to possibly add a Professor Elms Lecture, if you really wanted to set up a good bench early into the game. I don't know what card you'd drop for it, but it would do wonders for this deck. I hope this helped at all! Please also don't take these critiques too seriously, I don't mean to be offensive at all. If you ever need more help just ask.
