This is a Greninja Break deck, I'm sure you know how that works. I added a few goodies from recent sets to make it better. The most notable addition is Starmie EVO, which synergizes well with this deck since you can discard the Talonflame and Break in order to get 2 Water Energy back (then discard them again using Giant Water Shuriken). All and any advice is greatly appreciated

Frogs in Expanded is gonna be sooooo goooooood this coming season. Here are some thoughts I had while looking at your list.

I personally would play a 3-1 split of Ninjas at most, just because Shadow Stitching is so freaking good. Actually, if it were me, I wouldn't play any of the XY ninjas unless I expected a lot of Night March, but even then Marshadow is making the bench-sitting Joltik a thing of the past. Energies are much better spent using Giant Shurikens, especially now that we have Guzma at our disposal.

Talonflame BREAK is a spicy tech, but ultimately is ultimately pointless now that Forest is banned and using fire typing to punish grass-type pokemon like Decidueye will be much less important, unless Toad/Decidueye figures out a way to make their engine work without Forest.

I have never really understood putting Aqua Patch in this deck. I've seen people do this on PTCGO from time to time, and it seems like an odd use of resources. You almost never want non-splash energies attached to your Frogs as your energies are just better when they're either in your hand or in the ditch. I'd much, much rather put Rare Candies in these 2 slots.

Must-include cards, in my opinion are 3 Choice Bands and 2 Battle Compressor. I don't know what you'd cut to fit them, but yeah - they're pretty amazing in this deck.

Also, playing 4-4-4 of Sycamore, N, and Seekers seems very important too. I'd consider cutting Lana, Kukui, and 1 copy of Wally to accommodate this.
