Dark Garbage (Darkrai/Garbodor)

Darkrai is my absolute favorite Pokémon (which is strange because the Gen 4 games are my least favorite) and this is the only EX card that I have in abundance. I ran Darkrai for the entirety of the last season so I would like to keep that flame alive. I decided to run Garbodor with this deck because I believe that with the right combo, this pile of garbage has some potential.

Strategy
The strategy here is to start with Victini with either Victory Piece or Blend Energy GRPD with Darkrai and Sableye on the Bench or something like that to setup Darkrai ASAP. The good thing about this deck is if your opponent is running VirGen, you can set up Victini easily with Ultra Ball and Skyla to quickly get Genesect out of the playing field. Also if your opponent doesn't play any Pokémon with ability, the deck still strives well.

I've been playtesting quite a bit and recorded my wins and losses.
With the list that I started with I went 12-8 which, in my opinion, is complete caka. I played against a lot of different decks and I lost to these: Darkrai/Togekiss, Porygon/Tornadus, Plasma, Rayboar, VirGen, Plasma, Terrakion/Suicune, and Ho-Oh. A good amount of these loses were due to lack of supporters so in the new list I added 1 N and 1 Bicycle.
With this list I'm currently 4-2. In my area we don't get that many players for our BRs or Cities so that won't be too bad but still needs to get better. Another thing to note about both of these is that I started out great. 4-1 with this and 7-2 with the old (then I started to suck).

Thanks for all of the help in advance!
 
You expect to start with a card you only run 1-of? Bad idea... Here's my list:

Darkrai-Garbodor: 60

Pokemon: 11
3 Trubbish
2 Garbodor
3 Darkrai
3 Sablye

Trainers: 41
4 Juniper
3 N

1 Ghetsis
2 Random Reciever
4 Float Stone
3 Catcher
2 Dark Claw
2 Virbank
4 HypnoToxic Laser
3 Ultra Ball
1 Life Dew
1 Super Rod
1 Tool Scrapper
1 Switch
3 Dark Patch
3 Enhanced Hammer

Energy:

If you dislike my list then here are the lists that got top 4 and 8 at Worlds this year respectively:

Keep in mind these lists were geared towards the BLW-PLF format.
