Haxorus Shrouded Fable Decklist Feedback Request

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some feedback on my finalised decklist built around Haxorus from Shrouded Fable. I've been testing this deck out with both the physical TCG and Pokémon TCGL for some time. I would love to hear your thoughts on how to improve the final decklist.

I think that Haxorus has untapped potential due to its capability to KO Pokémon that have special energy attached, except those who have Mist Energy attached, and deal 230 damage for a 2-hit-KO setup on several two-prized Pokémon VSTARs and exs.

However, it is a stage 2 which is awkward to get into play and its second attack discards the top three cards of your deck. To mitigate the latter drawback, I have focused purely on shuffle draw instead of using Professor's Research. Here's the current list:

Pokémon: 15

1 Lumineon V BRS 40
4 Axew SFA 44
2 Bibarel BRS 121
1 Fraxure SFA 77
2 Bidoof CRZ 111
4 Haxorus SFA 46
1 Manaphy BRS 41

Trainer: 35

4 Ultra Ball SVI 196
2 Switch SVI 194
1 Judge FST 235
4 Rare Candy SVI 191
3 Exp. Share SVI 174
3 Buddy-Buddy Poffin TEF 144
3 Youngster SVI 198
2 Iono PAL 185
1 Mesagoza SVI 178
2 Super Rod PAL 188
1 Lost Vacuum LOR 162
1 Forest Seal Stone SIT 156
2 Artazon PAL 171
3 Boss's Orders PAL 172
1 Arven SVI 166
1 Grand Tree SCR 136
1 Pal Pad SVI 182

Energy: 10

4 Basic Metal Energy
4 Basic Fighting Energy
2 Luminous Energy PAL 191

Total Cards: 60

I'm particularly interested in:
- Any suggestions for improving consistency.
- Ideas for better synergy or recovery.
- Recommendations for alternative cards that might work better.
- Would including Neo Upper Energy be helpful for Haxorus if I were to replace Grand Tree, or instead use Prime Catcher or Counter Catcher?

Thanks in advance for your help!
