Strategy:

I need help making this deck a little quicker and more consistent; the engine feels awkward and I'm not sure how to fix it. This is definitely anti-meta, but I see a lot of potential in this deck. Any suggestions would be helpful.

The main purpose of the deck is to set up a Nidoqueen as fast and possible and kill EX's with ease. With Nidoqueen's "Barrage" Ancient Trait, it is able to attack twice. With a Muscle Band, Dimension Valley, and 2 energies, Nidoqueen does 180 damage, the magic number (before fighting fury belt) for EX's. However, it will take 20 damage of recoil each hit it delivers. Hence, the one Protection Cube. I don't many counters to this deck, specifically because it is rogue, but it is too slow to get rolling most of the time.

I would say drop Tiernos for more birch/sycamore. Build the engine around octillery, then you can shrink your hand after getting certain things off of birch or sycamore. I would also add another lysandre, in case the only one is prized.
