Xatu (Paldean Fates) is an excellent draw engine/energy turbo combo that gets your Espathra up and running fast for big hits with Psy Ball

Farigiraf's Dirty Beam can help pick off benched pokemon and one shot Gardevoirs, while Espathra can one-shot Charizards. Farigiraf can also completely wall Roaring Moon with Mist Energy (Temporal Forces) attached.

Baby card Espathra (Paradox Rift) is great as a one-prizer single turn wall in a pinch with Stance, takes down Mimikyus, and can do a decent chunk of damage with Tulip (Paradox Rift) 

Mimikyu (Paldea Evolved) for extra stalling/blocking

Manaphy (Brilliant Stars) and Jirachi (Paradox Rift) can be replaced with Rellor (Temporal Forces) and Rabsca (Temporal Forces) - your choice

If going without Rabsca, Mist Energy (Temporal Forces) can still help block damage counters from Dragapult and the like

Using Ciphermaniac's Codebreaking (Temporal Forces) before using Xatu's Clairvoiyant Sense can help you get those or whatever other cards you need

Technical Machine: Evolution (Paradox Rift) helps getting all your mons up and running, and Technical Machine: Devolution (Paradox Rift) helps pick off opponent's damaged evolution mons

 

I haven't updated this deck since the release of Twilight Masquerade so I'll go back and do that soon since it's one of my faves to play!
