Deck Primer

The idea of this deck: build a deck around Golurk V that can get energy onto Golurk quick(ish) 

Problems in building: Golurk on a set up of 2 psychics, 1 double turbo and a choice belt can only it 190 which doesn't cover all Pokemon V, solution might be to include 2 galarian Zigzagoon to chip damage some before the attack or to swap in a houndoom line and 4 single strike energy to boost the damage. 

Weak points: G.articuno : only useful for the energy acceleration

Have you tried the Houndoom (the SS one) line yet? I think it will be more suitable (don't forget 4 copies of SS Energy) and try to replace Path with Tower of Darkness because you can get additional draw power too. If you do so, I think Gal. Articuno and Energy Switch have no point in the deck as most of the time you will be hitting the active. You also need to increase your switch cards and cut the Double Turbo maybe to 2 copies. I think it will be a very different deck and playstyle, yet it will be more consistent in terms of damage for Golurk so you can have a knockout on Pokemon V.
