2 Tapu Lele seems needed. I'm not sure in this day and age you can really play a Stage 2 without using Fairy Alolan Ninetales; though that would add some bulk to your deck, it might be worth it.

What's the point of Shuckle? I understand playing Shuckle with Decidueye, but I don't think I see the point with Shiftry unless I'm missing something...

I think that Shiftry is an interesting concept, but I feel like it's sort of a 2 prize Granbull - it's probably easier to run Granbull and a lot safer with it being a one prize deck. That said, my younger son has a lot of fun with a *very* similar deck concept (it was built pre-LOT so no A9, even). No Zoroark but I do think that makes a good addition (he just doesn't have any).
 
Imo. Stage 2's gained so much consistency from Lost Thunder and I would suggest utilizing that consistency in your deck.

I'd play 4 elm's lecture (the optimal turn 1 supporter, which would probably mean including Lele GX to increase your likelihood of receiving it on turn 1. If you do this I'd likely cut the nest balls

I also know how difficult it can be to get the two energy attachments necessary to get off Shiftry GX's attack consistently and would suggest playing net ball so you can increase your likelihood of getting a seedot or a grass energy attachment.

Playing alolan Vulpix will also help ensure you get your evolutions out and I'd also play 4 rare candies.
