Hey there beachgoers! Well, it took some doing, but I managed to amass a large enough collection on PTCGO to finally throw together a deck. I'm happy to report some success with it thus far, but I'll happily accept constructive criticism and tweak ideas. Without further ado, I present Koko-Turn-Dos:

Back in 2005, I ran a deck known commonly as Zap-Turn-Dos. It ran Zapdos EX from the FireRed & LeafGreen expansion, who worked very similarly to Tapu Koko GX. The idea of that deck was to use energy acceleration via Elektrike or Elekid turn 1, then drop a Zapdos EX turn 2 and begin sweeping. Zapdos gets damaged? Just drop another one, Super Scoop Up the damaged one, and continue the hurt train. Late game, I would drop Rayquaza EX (EX Deoxys) to increase my damage output and wipe up any high-HP Pokemon in play.

I've applied the same logic to this deck the best I could. I always try to go second, put Rotom or Drampa active, attack to attach a second energy, and by my second turn drop a Koko and start attacking. Super Scoop Up and Acerola are utilized to scoop damaged Kokos. Fighting Fury Belt and Aether Paradise are to help minimize the chance of an OHKO on Koko. Oranguru has worked well as a tech against Alolan Ninetales, able to OHKO it and provide some draw support against late-game N.
 
One of my biggest gripes is having Hau as a draw supporter. Sycamore is better despite the discard cost being painful at times; get rid of them. Max out on the Ns as they serve as your secondary draw supporters and a way to refresh your hand without getting rid of anything important. Breakthrough Raikou is also worth considering as a non-GX attacker. When Shining Legends comes out, the Raikou from that set can accelerate Electric energy from the discard.

If you can get Tapu Lele GX, add 2-3 of them in, as they help get you whatever supporter you need, like grabbing Acerola if you have a badly injured Koko GX. I'd add in Max Elixir as well in order to get energy on to your attackers faster; drop the Rotom for those, as Drampa has better survivability.
 
Thanks! Here's the tweaks I'm considering:

-1 Oranguru
-1 Rotom
+2 Tapu Lele GX

-3 Hau
-1 Choice Band
-1 Guzma
+2 N
+1 Sycamore
+2 Max Elixir or VS Seeker

I'll also consider swapping Rotom for the new Raikou in the future. I'll post an update after some playtesting (gotta get those Leles now).

Is there a better deck search option over Pokemon Fan Club?
