Hi there I was wandering If anyone could offer some advice for a new deck I put together. Thanks very much.

3 Raichu prime UD
4 Pikachu SV
4-3-3 Crobat Prime UL
2 Luxray gl
2 Uxie LA
1 Unown Q

Trainers
3 Warp Points
4 Super Scoop Ups
2 Energy Returners UL
3 Energy Search
2 Energy Exchanger
2 Interviewers Questions UL
2 Rare Candy
2 Dual Balls

Supporters
2 Twins TP
2 Seeker

Energy
7 Lightning
4 Poison
3 Double Colourless

So basically I have Raichu as my main attacker which I constantly switch out for Crobat to poison and to re energize Raichu. Unown Q cover retreat cost for Raichu so it isnt stuck out with no energy, and Crobat has 0 retreat cost. Luxray is preferable used for setting up.
 
Drop the Raichu Prime line. Without any beneficial support, Raichu will be more of a free prize than an attacker as you'll attack with it once every 3 turns accroding to your list which is just awful. Either focus the deck on Raichu Prime or drop it completely (i would suggest dropping it completely) Basing the whole deck around Crobat (which would include dropping Luxray GL unless you can get the lvX form) would be alot faster (though your damage output won't be as great). I've found that in order to compensate for crobat prime's lack of damage output it would be good to throw in a few disruption cards to hinder your opponent while poison chips away at them. Here's a few cards you can run with Crobat Prime:

Weavile UD (Only used for it's power to discard cards from your opponents hand to leave with wth options)
Slowking HGSS (alter the top 3 cards of your opponents deck so they don;t always draw into something useful)
Mesprit LA (in combination with Seeker and Super Scoop UP, you can keep your opponent under a power lock)
Crobat G + PokeTurn (Just to place more damage around the field)
Chatot G (Only should be used if you're not running Slowking. Does the same thing as Slowking but it alters the top 5 cards but it's a "place from hand" power)

Those are just a few options.
 
that heavy line of trainers won't do good against trainer lock. you need at least a few more refresh cards. copycat, cynthia's, PONT etc.
