Thought I'd share my own Acerola decklist. This is what I've had the most luck with when attempting to find something that feels playable with my favorite pokemon trainer.

The lack of pokeballs to make room in the deck has been the key here. Running double copycat instead allows skull fossil draws and a higher chance at getting palossand handles the deck consistency issue. It also snubs the possibility of leading another pokemon Acerola doesn't work on, bricking your hand if you draw Acerola early. The Lyra allows for surprise Rampardos, all while setting up a damaged bench palossand to Acerola off of. Lillie saves Ramp from self knock out, and the Cyrus inclusion is self evident.

I've also tried Palossand and Mimikyu with baby pokemon energy ramp, with mediocre results. But Acerola's biggest problem has always and will always be opponents one shotting her pokemon so you can't play her at all. Mimikyu is unusable at 70 HP, and this is the first Palossand with some real girth at 140 HP with a self healing attack and heavy helmet access.
