The strategy here is to use MiniKoko to spread damage and aid DaddyKoko hit the numbers more easily. Then, scoop up damaged DaddyKokos with Acerola, play them straight back down and transfer all energy before doing your thing again, this time, with a fully healthy Koko.

One choice I feel I seriously need to explain is Puzzle of Time. I have never been an advocate for replacing VS Seeker with Puzzle of Time, but in this deck where way more than 4 Acerola are needed, I feel I can make an exception. Puzzle of Time can also be great for retrieving Pokémon Tools, Rainbow Energy and Pokémon.

Why Rainbow Energy? Just for the chance of Tapu Cure GX? Brigette also feels a bit excessive in a deck that only has Basic Pokemon, none besides Sudowoodo providing any bench support.
 
What is wrong with Brigette? It lays down your Raikous and BabyKokos in unparalled consistency. DaddyKoko you want to play from the hand though.
 
You don't need all those pokemon from at the beginning of the game but bridgette also takes up bench space and could deny you the ability to play Koko GX or Lele from hand. You'd be better off using Fan Club
 
I think that you should drop Sudowoodo, Raikou from BKT, and the Baby Kokos for Max Elixirs. Otherwise you have to take a minimum 3 turns to set up, which is too slow. It doesn't even matter who you Elixir to. And none of those are going to have energy easy enough to be efficient, because Koko needs DCEs, and you'll almost never leave enough energy on Raikou to do significant amounts of damage. And with Rayquaza gone (who you hit for super effective anyway), Sudowoodo is not valuable enough to take one of your precious bench spots.

I would also remove Sophocles, Brigette, and 1 energy to include 3 Aether Paradise Conservation Area, as Koko needs the ability to survive, and if nothing else, it will bait Field Blowers to make the FFB more effective.
