Standard My Volcanion deck. It seems good but struggles with consistency.

A main issue I am having with the deck is dead draws and inability to finish off games. Though since adding in the Trainers Mails, the deck has become a bit faster and is allowing me to hit certain cards I need. I do realize I need a second Tapu Lele.

Another issue I have is against Lapras decks, Gyarados, Greninja and decks like Vikavolt/Bulu that put pressure on me quick to mount something. Of course, it doesn't help when my hands are lacking.

Anything to make the deck fast, consistent, and able to still manuever around Garb is what I'm looking to accomplish. The Octillery is something different but it has proven useful when i am able to fetch it.

Any feedback is appreciated.

When a deck losses to gimmicky stuff like Honchcrow/Magma Base. It's time to really consider a different hobby. Over 400 games with the deck and I guess i'm still not great at it. (bad hands a lot but good decks are supposed to draw good a lot so idk).

-4 Trainer's Mail. +2 Lele. +2 N.

Not saying that is the end of all your dead drawing woes, but it should get you a lot closer to the consistency you are looking for.

Not sure about 3 Lele, but definitely 2 is the goal.

Sorry about that. I completely whiffed on the Lele lol. I think 2 is sufficient. Maybe add the 4th float stone instead of a 3rd Lele.
 
And I lost to 2 Lycanroc decks in a row. This deck losses to a lot of stuff now. Or maybe I just suck so bad it doesn't matter. And I lost to a Metagross deck where I drew completely dead. Barely beat a Kommo-O deck. There's just no hope for this deck. Nothing I do is working.

I added Turtonator GX to mine, + 4 Burning energy and it is working out great. I have taken out Quad Lapras, Decidueye, and Turbo Darkrai with ease.
