4 Frogadier (FLI-23)
4 Greninja GX (FLI-24)
1 Tapu Koko (PR-SM31)
1 Tapu Lele GX (GRI-60)
3 Zoroark GX (SLG-53)
3 Zorua (SLG-52)

Trainers: 30

3 Brooklet Hill
4 Cynthia
2 Guzma
3 Choice Band
2 Acerola
4 Ultra Ball
2 Field Blower
4 Devolution Spray
2 Rescue Stretcher
2 Professor Kukui
2 Timer Ball

Energy: 10

4 Double Colorless Energy - Special
6 Water Energy - Basic
 
Hello @Bustin
I like the deck archetype as well and I think this is a great list. Here are some changes however:
-0/1/1 Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja
-2 Professor Kukui
-4 Devo Spray
-3 Water

+3 N
+2 Bridget
+3 SSU
+1/1 Zoroark GX
+1 Tapu Lele GX (if you have 2 otherwise +1 Bridget)

When testing this deck myself, I found scooping up the entire line of greninja is better than scooping just greninja even if its on a coin flip. I view this deck as very similar to the Zoro GX/Decidueye GX deck that ran around during the EUIC. In that deck, there were only 2-3 grass energy and I think that translates to this. I also think that the Zoro line is very important for consistency and that a 4-4-4 Greninja is excessive. I also don't know why you excluded N and Bridget from the deck. Bridget helps you set up early game and N allows you to give your opponent few cards while, with trade, you have many.

So I made the following changes with your suggestions. I don't know why I forgot SSU was a thing I used them in my old bats deck.

I like the inclusion of Latios, a lot of my friends seem to be migrating towards fighting decks. I had intended on using LeLe to hit for weakness but having a single prize attacker seems more beneficial. I'm torn on whether to drop KoKo or the 4th froakie tho.
 
Lele doesn't hit the weakness so it shouldn't be considered as an attacker unless you really have to. Greninja break just won the Melbourne International so that may be worthy on consideration until it rotates to lock down the Malamar abilities.

Guess I should have spent more time reading LeLe's attack. I already have a Break deck, this deck is more for fun.
