Have you considered dropping something for an Elm's Lecture? Just a single copy could make your early game much more consistent since Grookey has 60 Hp. You may also want to consider UNB Mew, since things like Stinger on Naga GX or, perhaps more importantly, Cramorant V's second attack can OHKO your Dedenne.

Also, Rillaboom only gets Grass energy from deck, so you may want to have more consistent electric energy search with some cards like Viridian Forest. Not just one Volkner (and Rosa, which may be pretty inconsistent if you and your opponent are both stuck).

I don't like Lecture in this deck for a number of reasons, primarily being that I don't play (or have room for) any Pokegear, you can't play it going first on T1, and Quick Ball is just so much better.

However, I do agree with you that the deck needs more consistent ways of getting out Lightning Energy other than the 1-of Volkner and the 2 Rosas, as well as playing Mew UNB. I also want to play Faba for the Malamar and ADP MU (assuming they'll still be big going into SWSH)

-4 Chaotic Swell
-1 Volkner

+3 Viridian Forest
+1 Mew
+1 Faba
