As to the weird engine part, you'll find out :3

Pokemon(18):

4x Tauros-GX
1x BKP Garbodor
3x GRI Garbodor
4x GRI Trubbish
2x Tapu-Lele-GX
2x Octillery
2x Remoraid

Trainers (34):

4x Mallow
2x Lysandre
2x Lillie
1x Team Flare Grunt
3x Acro Bike
4x VS Seeker
4x Ultra Ball
3x Maintenance
4x Choice Band
1x Field Blower
2x Float Stone
1x Super Rod
3x Silent Lab

Energy (8)

4x Psychic Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy

Strategy:
The engine needs more explaining than the deck does, so heres an explanation of what it's meant to do:

Mallow, then use Octillery to grab those cards or use Acro Bike to deck thin. Lillie is here first turn to get things moving, Maintenance hand shrinks for maximum Octillery pulls and grabs an extra card early on, and then everything else is normal.

Thoughts please! :)
 
That's a very interesting engine! I wonder how well it keeps up with the meta's current typical draw engines.

I wish I could test but I dont have any Leles :(. I tried it without Lele but if you whiff your Lillie first turn its really bad, so I pretty much threw it in the towel after I figured that out. Thanks for the compliment on it :)
 
Hah! Here's what happened when I tested the deck... (I do have all the cards needed for this deck, in TCGO)


At the start of Turn 3, the game crashed. Literally. I got a window that said "We're sorry, the game has crashed" and I hit OK, and returned to Windows.

You broke the game! Hahaha!

xD Gekki the Game-Crusher! So, how was it? Does it work well? I'd love to test it but I need the Leles lol.
 
I've been using 4 Skyla and 2 Teammates and running a 2-2 line of Octillery and it's working ok for stage 2 decks. It's definitely an option and may be better than Sycamore / N blast draw supporters for decks where you need to hold cards in your hand. For the above list you posted, I think your typical blast supporters would be better than the Mallow engine. I don't really have enough testing though to properly support this, but I feel that it works well for evolutions decks.
 
I have the lele's - see my thread on my lele-tauros-lurantis deck.

I didn't get a chance to place this through and haven't gone back into the game yet.

Yeah that is probably true, I mainly just wanted to see if I could get it to work in this archetype as it's pretty malleable.
 
Agreed definitely worth trying. Too often we have to Sycamore away valuable resources that we would otherwise need later in the game. This is potentially a better alternative.

Yeah I know the feeling xD. Like when you have 2 DCEs and a Special Charge and a Sycamore. I've been trying to speed this up through Lillie and Acro Bike, but i'm not sure if it would work, I think what you said about evolutions decks makes alot of sense as losing a Rare Candy really sucks, I may try this with Solgaleo/Rayquaza and see how that works :)
 
That's where I've had the most success, with Solgaleo GX Metagross GX, I think I'm 5-2 with that deck. I want to try it with Greninja as well but I've got about 5 decks in the que already.
