Standard Leafeon GX / Golisopod GX (Ultra Prism)

Heyo, first timer here. Here's my Leafeon / Golisopod that I came up with. Definitely looking for Suggestions

Pokémon - 16

2 Eevee (evo)
2 Leafeon GX (great GX attack + ability)
4 Wimpod (evo)
3 Golisopod GX (Damage)
1 Golisopod (Damage)
3 Tapu lele GX (Ability)
1 Shinning Volcanion (Damage/Volcanion EX counter)

Trainers - 33

2 Brigette (Search)
3 N (Disrupt/Draw)
4 Cynthia (draw)
4 Ultra Ball (search)
2 Choice Band (Damage)
2 Pal Pad (Retrieval)
1 Rescue Stretcher (Retrieval)
1 Revitalizer (Retrieval)
2 Field blower (Discard)
1 Gardenia (Heal)
3 Float stone (control)
3 Guzma (control)
3 Switch (non supporter control)
2 Acerola (control + heal)

Energy - 11

4 Double Colorless Energy
7 Grass Energy

Strategy:So the strategy I decided that could be cool is to take advantage of Leafeon's Ability that enables you to heal for 50 on a benched Pokemon that has energy attached to it. So the plan was to start the game going second, (ideally) putting a Wimpod into active, Lele for Brigette, put an Eevee and 2 Wimpods onto bench, wimp out into Eevee, evolve Eevee (with ability) into Leafeon GX, then use GX attack to Evolve the bench.
The goal on a typical turn is to be able to swap with the bench twice in a turn. Once to bring the Leafeon GX into active to heal, and another to bring the Golisopod GX back into active to active to get the first impression off. Ideally, there will be more than one Golisopod GX in play at a time in the instance where only bench swap is possible. We run 4 Double colorless Energy in the scenario where we have a pokemon stuck in the active than we can't swap out.
Because of all the swapping we're doing, I ran Guzma and Acerola as well as switch as an option to swap with the bench without using a supporter for the turn. As a side note I tossed in a Gardenia (supporter, heals grass Pokemon for 80) to enable us to heal for up to 130 in a turn (with Leafeon's ability). Pal Pad was included to get those Acerolas and Guzmas back into the deck.

Side Note:
Shinning Volcanion hits for weakness against regular Volcanion. I included it because Volcanion destroys this deck since it hits or weakness against both Leafeon and Golisopod. Its FAR from perfect so any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't know exactly how practical this deck might be, but it looks interesting and I might try running it.
 
IMO, the lone Shining Volcanion will not make that much of a difference when/should you encounter an opponent playing a Volcanion. Note that every deck will have at least 1 bad match-up;so, save that spot for another useful card (e.g., Lillie, N, Super rod, etc.)
 
If you want a water type to counter the volcanions and turtonators, may I suggest Alolan Ninetales GX? It attacks for DCEs, and alolan vulpix is brilliant as a search/shuffle method, also not forgetting baby alolan ninetales with its EX and GX block ability. You could also attack with it if you included a unit energy or two. Here are my suggestions:
-1 Shining Volcanion
-1 Golisopod
-1 Lele
-1 Cynthia
-1 Pal Pad
-1 Revitalizer
-3 Switch
+3 Alolan Vulpix
+2 Alolan Ninetales (or a 1/1 GX/non GX split)
+1 N
+2 Acerola
+1 Guzma

Hope this helped!

Alolan ninetales is probably not a good idea. Might I suggest zoroark GX? It has an amazing ability, and it is a great attacker.
 
Yep I totally agree, I very much prefer Zoroark/Golisopod (or Goli/Zor), but I was just curious about how it might work. Adding Zoroark takes up spaces for PoT, extra trade fuel, etc, so if you want a Zoroark/Golisopod deck go for it, but it might mean changing the deck a fair bit. If you want Leafeon/Golisopod though, keep it as it is, but drop cards such as the shining volcanion and switch, as I can guarantee you won't be needing them.
