I think you mean magmar when you say magby
Other than that, it looks good
 
Because of what this deck is probably trying to do, I'm going to go ahead and make two suggestions:
- Bodybuilding Dumbbells
- Switch or Float Stone

So, the first is a little more spicy (heh), but it works absurdly well with Magmortar. Reaching 170 hp on a Stage 1 that is asking to be smacked in the face is incredible and gives you opportunities to obtain OHKOs in situations that may not be possible otherwise. For example, Golisopod GX smacks you in the face with First Impression for 120. You need another turn after this to get Magmortar to attack, but you now face lethal from another First Impression (120 + 30 = 150 > 130). With Dumbbella, however, you have 170 hp, meaning that they're forced to do something else before their Golisopod GX gets cooked (heheh). 40 hp doesn't seem like a lot, but it really does turn losing situations in to winning ones.
The second suggestion is due to the lack of a switching option in your deck. Granted, maybe you might think you'll be fine without one, which is rather fair in a deck like this, but Guzma is a thing and Infernape is a good target. I would suggest two of something to help in those situations (whether its float stone or switch).

Either way, let us know how testing goes after everything drops!
