Cobalion/Zekrom Deck Help

Hi, I'm new-ish to the game, I played in the City Championships with this deck but only managed to win 3 games through the 5 tourneys I went to. I am open to any help, including completely re-vamping my deck. I'm hoping to be top-tier (as is anyone) but this is all I've come up with:

x2 Cleffa
x1 Pichu (Heartgold/Soulsilver)
x2 Oddish
x2 Gloom
x2 Vileplume (Allergy Flower)
x3 Solosis
x2 Duosion
x2 Reuniclus (Black/White)
x3 Cobalion (Noble Victories)
x3 Zekrom (B/W)

x1 Pokemon Catcher
x3 Pokemon Communication
x3 Rare Candy
x2 Eviolite
x2 Cheran
x1 Bianca
x1 Twins
x3 PONT
x3 Prof. Juniper
x2 N

x4 Special Metal Energy
x2 Metal Energy
x6 Electric Energy
x2 DCE
x2 Rainbow Energy
x2 Rescue Energy


I think the main problem I faced was that I could never have my Cobalion set up in time to be useful, or they used Pokemon Catcher on my Solosis and Oddish before I could evolve them. Most of the cards I have are borrowed, and I can't really afford expensive ones, but as I said, any help is welcomed and I will (hopefully) be able to win a tournament or two this year!

Also I know some of these decks have odd names (This one is apparently similar to "The Truth)? So if possible please provide information other than just deck names. Thank you!
 
The problem is is that cobalion is the main attacker here and can easily get OHKOd. Try using a big basic and EXs because they have high hp and have high attacks. Usually you would want oddish to setup first. Bianca and cheren are not great supporters so I'd max out twins and take them out.

-2 eviolite (this is a truth deck)
-1 bianca
-1 cheren
-6 electric energy
-2 metal energy
-1 Juniper
-1 cleffa
-2 Rescue energy

+3 Twins
+3 Sage's
+ 4 prism
+2 Rainbow
+2 DCE
+1 FSL
+1 N

-3 Zekrom (terrakion is being played in many decks and can be OHKOd very easily)
+2 Mewtwo EX (as a counter and is a great attacker)
+1 shaymin EX (great finisher in my testing and can win you games)
 
Thanks! I know there's no way i'll be able to get a mewtwo ex though, I've already bought two boxes and no luck there, but i did get a whole slew of reshiram ex

C: Will take what you said into consideration! Thank you for your time~
