Biosmog Garbodor Deck

Yesterday, I faced an interesting deck featuring Biosmog Garbodor of all things. It's a stage 1 from PLS that for 1 colorless energy, can do 20, plus autopoison, and flip a coin to discard an energy. He used Dimensional Valley to enable Garb to attack for free and Deoxys EX, Muscle Band, and Bangle to boost the damage output. Combined with the poison damage (even without Virbank), the damage really added up, and that energy discard, even just 50% of the time, became really annoying.

On top of that, he used Dusknoir's Sinister Hand to manipulate damage and score easy KOs. I was playing my fighting deck which usually handles other decks well, but I lost both times I played this guy. The only thing I would change is playing Tool Drop Trubbish in place of the poison gas one he used and maybe Celebi EX to give Garbodor the option of using Tool Drop. Other than that, it was a pretty cool deck that I was not at all prepared for.
 
I tried a rough draft on playtcg. As good as Dusknoir is, I think it slows the deck down. I was never able to get even Dusclops in play. I took them out and opted for some backup attackers (Mew and Mewtwo EX) and also a Keldeo with some float stone to add to the tool count and to have a reliable retreat method (tried Mystery Energy, didn't like it). I might want to add another Celebi too because copying tool drop on a Team Plasma w Deoxys = lots of potential damage.
 
Though one thing to consider is that Deoxys Helix Force will only do 30 (50 with Muscle Band) because you need plasma energy attached to Deoxys to get the extra damage. So Deoxys isn't the best option (though you could still Lysandre out Garbodor and KO it with a Muscle Band).
