Expanded M Slowbro EX / Alolan Ninetails

I only just recently got into PTCG. Friend of mine asked me if I wanted to play so I built up a M-Slowbro EX Deck.

So far I have really only been testing it online, but it seems to be doing fairly well. I'd appreciate any input anyone has to offer.

Decklist;
1 Tapu Lele-GX
1 Drampa GX
2 Manaphy EX
2 Alolan Ninetales
2 Alolan Vulpix (The one with Beacon)
3 Slowbro-EX
3 M Slowbro-EX

4 Professor Sycamore
4 Max Elixir
3 Aqua Patch
3 Dive Ball
3 Chaos Tower
2 Heavy Boots
2 N
2 Slowbro Spirit Link
2 Ultra Ball
2 Lysandre
2 VS Seeker
2 Field Blower
2 Rough Seas
2 Cynthia
1 Super Rod

10 Water Energy

Personally, it seems like Tapu Lele is not that necessary and actually causes me a lot of problems.
With the amount of Dive/Ultra Balls and Beacon I can get pretty much any of the Pokes I want out, Lele is just good for that N/Sycamore/Cynthia search, IMO.

Changes that I feel should be put in, but not tested, are 2x Tapu Lele -> 2x Seismitoad EX/+1 Alolan Vulpix/Ninetails or 2x Manaphy EX.

Cynthia vs N is hit or miss. N is better for disruption later, but Cynthia is just BETTER overall. Maybe -1 Sycamore for +1 Cynthia and then leave the N at 2? I don't know.. I don't know the game well enough to make a choice like that, but with testing Im sure I'll figure it out.

Thanks, and again, feel free to comment away and suggest anything. I really want to make this the best that I can.

Edit;
-1 Heavy Boots
-1 Professor's Letter
-1 Hex Maniac
-1 Float Stone
-1 Tapu LeLe GX
-2 Remoraid
-2 Octillary
+1 Cynthia
+1 Drampa GX
+2 Manaphy EX
+2 Rough Seas
+3 Aqua Patch

Little update;

Tested it like it is now, and Im pretty happy with how it performs.
Drampa GX is actually a huge surprise addition that I really, really like. The Big Wheel is amazing for a hand refill, but the Righteous Edge vs Special Energy decks has been amazing too.
Still not 100% sold on the Tapu Lele, but there is a few times where shes nice to have, Ultra Ball into her, grab Sycamore, refill.
Rough seas has given me a huge buff. Alot of the games I have been playing are against Chip Damage decks and it just outpowers them when I can get it to stay and stick.

I have run into some issues with Grass decks. They annihilate Slowbro so fast... But, Im willing to take it on the off chance someone is playing Leafeon or Venusaur. :)
 
I’d recommend maxing out your VS Seeker count. Also, Battle Compressor should help consistency along with Shaymin EX (Roaring Skies).

I thought about Shaymin, but I don't think hes that great honestly. How would Battle Compressor help with the consistency? Same with VS Seeker, I don't know the reasoning....

Compressor thins, activates VS Seeker, and helps Aqua Patch. Seeker is just a really good card. I also recommend adding Colress because the ability to draw up to 18 cards is amazing
