Really interesting build. Have you play tested it?

Yeah. I know there are some chinks in its armour, that's why I posted it here. I want to know how I can improve it.

Fair enough. I'm not familiar with the deck [obviously], but how come the lack of Guzma? I figured this might be important in a deck like this?

Oh and since I have posted this list, I have decided to run a single Tapu Lele (Non GX) and Latios. This replaces the Po Town that were originally in the deck.

I don't run Guzma because of the amount of supporter cards this deck uses. I need to use a supporter near every turn to set up my field properly. Also Counter Catcher works better with this deck.

I am running this deck online as a super rogue budget deck. I opted out of the LeLe GX for a baby lele that can rearrange damage counters. I also run a 3-2/1 Weavile line. 2 of the Burning Shadows that do 60 to all mons with abilities and the other that attacks for 1 dark to do 10+ 50 for each mon with an ability as a backup win con. I play no stadium, no psychic energy and no necrozma. I do play 4 dce, 4 counter energy, 4 random receivers and only Cynthia, N and Sycamore as supporters so my random reciever always hits a draw support.

I believe I mentioned in an earlier comment that I have swapped the two Po Towns for baby Tapu Lele and a Latios.
Also, the Necrozma variant should be more reliable than the Weavile variant during the next rotation as we do not have access to Evo Soda, Sycamore, N, etc. This deck is made for post rotation, that's why I don't run the cards mentioned.
Also, with sm7 right around the corner, Counter Gain will be able to make this deck far more reliable as it only needs one energy attached to each of its main attackers.
If any of the cards you suggested are re-released, I would definitely be running them.

My bad. I saw the post was under standard not Alt. Format. For post rotation you would benefit from Commandment Shrine when it releases. With cards like Lillie you will be benefit from things like timer ball and other items with which you can thin your hand

Commandment Shrine is slow, but it's definitely an option.
Ultra Ball is better for clearing my hand as I can discard Psychic energy to later be used by Malamar's ability.
