Try and find Area Zero Underdepths (Stellar Crown) as fast as you can to get more bench space.

Support:

Arven (Scarlet & Violet) is for finding Rare Candy (Scarlet & Violet) to evolve Applin into Hydrapple ex (Stellar Crown) and to find the Hero's Cape (Temporal Forces) or Bravery Charm (Paldea Evolved).  Lady (Lost Origin)  is for getting more energies, and Colress's Tenacity (Shrouded Fable) is for finding the Area Zero Underdepths (Stellar Crown). Most everything is self explanatory.

Game Plan:

Accelerate energies onto Teal Mask Ogerpon ex (Twilight Masquerade) and Hydrapple ex (Stellar Crown) using their abilties. Use Hydrapple's attack if you can as much as possible, but Ogerpon's attack is also an option. Keep doing it until you win!

Have fun playing this deck! Comments and suggestions are very much appreciated!

Vessel is needed, I mean NEEDED needed. Add 4. Every energy is a card drawn with enough ogerpon.

Other suggestions:

 

-You don't need that much energy, they clog up your consistency when you could be running energy recovery and search.

- Another AZU over colress tenacity. Colress uses up your supporter for the turn while another AZU doesn't

- I would advice against bravery charm, the likelyhood of striking with ogerpon is decent but not enough that you need this at all.

- Superior retrieval is so much faster than rod, but still keep one for pokemon recovery.

 

The rest of these suggestions are subjective, a matter of playstyle:

- Me personally wouldn't run so much boss, It ends up clogging consistency multiple times.

- Lady just strikes me as a terrible card when cards like vessel exist.

- Me personally I wouldn't run briar, just because I'm in love with consistency and cards like this are against it. But I can really see why you would run it.

- You are using massive stage 2s, these have zero synergy with Fezandipiti, instead I would use Rotom or Lumineon (or both) and run forest stone for more Arven uses. (makes rare candy much easier to find)

 

Hope I helped! 🥰
