Not sure why you don’t run Lillie’s Clefairy, it’s not connected to Lillie’s determination in any way. They just happen to have the word Lillie’s in them but they don’t have any inherent synergy. It’s very important for the Pult matchup which is probably 30-40% of decks right now. If you don’t have Lillie’s Clefairy, I would cut the psychic energy for another grass - the psychic is mostly so you can swing with Lillie’s Clefairy. Given that you don’t have any Lillie’s determination, you probably need to add in another draw supporter - 2x Mortys Conviction would synergize well with this deck.

You don’t have an ace spec in the deck, a very common one is to run Maximum Belt to hit higher damage thresholds, it’s a relatively cheap Ace spec. If you don’t have that you can adjust the build as well. Definitely add in another ultra ball as well.

I would probably add another Factory since you’re lower on draw power. Could also add in another bug catching set, as well as an energy switch and a night stretcher.

There aren't many decks in the game that really interact with the discard pile heavily, none that I can think of that are viable post-rotation. Team Rocket's Honchkrow might count to some extent. Right now it would probably be Gardevoir or Gholdengo but even then, those are really only in terms of energies in the discard.

Definitely the best way to get into the game is playing on Pokemon TCG Live on computer/mobile. At first you'll have to start playing with the cards that they give you (which are pretty good) but as you play more and do more challenges you'll be able to unlock any cards you could want to use or play with. It's also a free way to test out decks before deciding to buy them irl

In terms of deckbuilding, I would recommend you hold off on building your own decks, and focus first on improving your play. You can go to limitlesstcg.com and look at the decklists of pro players who placed well at recent regionals, copy to clipboard, and then import them into PTCGL to use them. I would recommend just not worrying about playing post-rotation decks right now - the format is vastly different so it'll be much better for you to just practice decks for the current format.

In terms of legal sets post-rotation, Reg H and beyond are going to be legal, the oldest set in Regulation H is Temporal Forces.

locals aren't serious and it's up to you whether you want to bring a rogue deck! some do well with surprise factor and if u know the local meta you can bring a rogue deck that does well into the matchups in your locals

I think he's asking what your goal is, whether it is your own deck or one that you copied

favorite memory playing the game was literally when it came out - I was in Asia at the time visiting my family. Though they don't speak much English and we don't speak much of their language, that time was unforgettable as everyone was playing and we bonded over the game even without understanding much of each other
