The problem I find with Yellow Swellow is that he's not very good at the game. Entertaining, but not a very good reference point. I can't give much advice, other than I would honestly try to find a different deck. I know you have the stuff for other decks, so I would just skip over Greninja since it doesn't have much in this format to give it any leverage towards different decks. The only real thing notable about Standard Greninja is Shadow Stitching, and it's a 1-prize 170 HP monster... if it gets set up. The cons are that it loses to Drampa/ Garb, Golisopod, probably Ho-oh, probably Bulu, etc, it's SOOOOOO slow, and it bricks harder than any competitive deck. And once it gets set up, there's no guarantee that you can consistently pull off Shurikens. Yes, Starmie helps this immensely, but if you end up running out of cards in your hand, then you lose, if Starmie dies or gets prized, you lose, or if you can't OHKO them while they easily OHKO you, you lose...

I already spent 17 packs on making it ._. Should I sell them for Golisopod GXs?

Testing has gone well with this deck, however, and it's fun to play.

If you can get Golisopods, hell yeah. I would play Lillie over Wicke because Starmie combo-ing with Giant Water Shuriken burns the number of cards out of your hand. Lillie would make you draw more than Wicke, and Wicke would leave you in topdeck mode. I would also cut Timer Ball for more Ultra Ball. With Evosoda, Timer Ball is just a coin flip card that does the same thing, except Evosoda gets past Po Town, which will probably pick up in play, due to how good it is against the meta, and lets certain decks hit the numbers they need.

I don't like Lillie in it because it tends to get cloggy hands (you know how Greninja is) that you can't really play out.

I agree with cutting Timer Ball. -3 Timer Ball +1 Evosoda +2 Ultra Ball.
