Hey, I actually had a similar deck build with this deck! In my deck I had ran 2 hawlucha, 2 lucario ex, 4-4-2 crobat lineup, and 4-4 gliscor from roaring skies. I had made a deck that was very aggressive, and each pokemon only needed one energy to do a great deal of damage or just make it annoying with focus sashes. As far as your lineup is concerned, it is important to begin with Korina as much as possible. It allows for a various options to be open, whether it be searching for a lucario turn one or just to set up your bats for turn 2 with the level balls. I suggest to make some room for that. It might be in your best interest to maybe drop a single muscle band or ultra ball. You won't need the ultra balls much when you have half of your pokemon searchable with level balls. Id tweak it around and see what can be dropped. I ran 2 focus sash and 2 muscle band in my deck and felt that it was fairly easy to obtain turn one or two if need be.

cards to consider to reduce
-ultra ball
-letter
-(1) vs seeker
-muscle band
-roller skates (a bit inconsistant at times)

cards to consider to add
+ Korina
+replacing Xeriosic with enhanced hammer (that was you can discard any focus sashes if you encountered any annoying toads or meinshow decks with sashes
+ battle compressor (if your goal is to set up landorus turn one)
+ 2 trainers mails (for more option availability turn one if Korina'd)

Play around with it, see if you like it!

Hey, Felix, thank you for posting a list about this archetype!
I believe that roller skates is a bad card and I would suggest scrapping it for an additional . I think that a professor's letter is only necessary when you are playing more than one type of energy. I would scrap it for an additional fighting energy to increase your chances of running into one!
I think it is good to prepare for the inevitable Regice (be it VileReg or RegiMan). In the case of the Vileplume variant, you are going to want to KO Reg before it can Resistance Blizzard otherwise you will be regulated to Bat counters, and that may not be enough in the situation that you can't access your scoop-ups.
I think it is better to not to play the Landorus. There isn't much need for it.
With the Shauna and Birch being in the same list, I say you go one way or the other. Either play Shauna or play Birch, ya know? (Excuse my Minnesotan)
I hope you found this helpful in one way or the other!
Keep on posting!:)

I think landorus is one of the best cards there, because if the other player started, you can attack for energy acceleration.
