Could I improve this Arceus Giratina VSTAR Decklist for a League Challenge ?

Hi, I am working on an ArcTina list to participate in events at my local store. I need some help for this list (experienced players). I consider adding Spiritomb PAL as a Mew/Lugia counter, but don't know what to cut and if it is necessary. Looking for more consistency with a decent number of Trekking Shoes. I need opinons about the efficiency of Box of Disaster, Squawkabilly ex, Lost City, Raihan, Professor's Research and Cheren's Care in specific matchups. The distribution of Boss's Orders, Iono and Judge for constant hand disruption with Path to the Peak. Cutting a V Guard Eenrgy for a Jet Energy (don't know if it's useful). Well, see if you can help me out !

Here's the list :

Pokémon (18):

4 Arceus V

3 Arceus VSTAR

2 Giratina V

2 Giratina VSTAR

2 Bidoof CRZ

2 Bibarel CRZ

1 Flying Pikachu V

1 Flying Pikachu VMAX

1 Skwovet SVI

Trainers (28):

3 Boss's Orders

3 Iono

3 Judge 

1 Raihan

1 Cheren's Care

1 Professor's Research

4 Nest Ball

4 Ultra Ball

1 Switch

1 Escape Rope

1 Choice Belt

1 Cleansing Gloves

4 Path to the Peak

Energy (14):

3 Grass Energy

3 Psychic Energy

2 Lightning Energy

4 Double Turbo Energy

2 V Guard Energy

    Hey! This looks like a decent list. I might include a Squawkabilly, but be careful not to bench it and then turn it's own ability off with Path. Cheren's Care is nice, but unless you're getting it off Starbirth you have to luck in to it, because it's pretty much impossible to find on demand. I wouldn't add Lost City, Path to the Peak is the best stadium for this deck. I would personally up the counts of Professor's Research. I don't feel like the deck needs the Chonkachus, the matchup against lost box is already pretty good because of the high HP of your Pokémon. Overall, I would be content to play the deck just the way it is, but hey, there are always upgrades to be made!
