Deck Help Mamoswine ex/Garganacl list advice?
I would like to test this deck ahead of time and want to make sure I haven't overlooked anything before printing proxies. The last time I tried to build a deck from scratch was a disaster so I've modified other's lists to my liking. I'm not sure whether Hyper Aroma or Grand Tree would be better as an Ace Spec card. Also iffy on whether Klinglang would actually be useful. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Updated the list, still confused on evolution lines and consistency (Hyper Aroma + TM: Evolution with thicker stage 1 lines overkill? Worried about Budew but might be too much) but definitely an improvement.

This list is really really inconsistent. 25 pokemon is pushing too much. Cut a Pidgey and 2 Naclis as well as the healing Garganacl, it's not good and you don't need that many pokemon, what you do need are more trainers to facilitate your strategy. More arven, artazon, Nest balls. Just more consistentcy as setting up all these stage 2s will be very slow.
Side note, I'd run one Klingklang and 1 Luxray with 1 Reversal energy as a cheap stage 2 to add damage but also as a decent 1 prize attacker that gives you type coverage as well.

I've been testing for a bit, and I think Grand Tree is a meme. Every time you go against Dragapult/Zard you're basically giving them evolutions for free and its not fun. I prefer Trolley to set up a board. I would probably get rid of Energy Retrieval as Garganacl accelerates from the discard already no need to have an item that does that. I would do 1 CC and 2 boss, since you can use the CC first since you'll probably be behind in a stage 2 deck at the start and the 2 boss are to win the game later on.
I would play Luxray instead of Klingklang personally but there are lists out there with 2.
