Hey guys! I'm pretty new when it comes to building decks, but I think this one has some potential so any input would definitely be an enormous help. Thanks in advance!

Pokemon - 18

4 Darkrai BUS
4 Darkrai-GX
2 Pikachu BUS
2 Raichu BUS
2 Alolan Grimer BUS
2 Alolan Muk-GX
2 Tapu Lele-GX

Trainer - 28
3 N
1 Olivia
4 Professor Sycamore
1 Mallow
1 Brock's Grit
1 Sophocles
2 Nest Ball
2 Ultra Ball
4 Choice Band
2 Field Blower
2 VS Seeker
2 Float Stone
3 Altar of the Moone

Energy - 14
10 Basic Dark
4 Double Colorless

The strategy with this deck is basically to make an opening for Darkrai-GX's Dead End GX in the mid to late game while taking out smaller opponents early on. Alolan Muk-GX is mainly there for its Crunch attack to stall the opponent from getting their active Pokemon set up, but it Tri Hazard GX could be used if stalling simply won't work. I want to make use of Raichu's Evoshock ability to get an easy use of Dead End GX without giving the opponent a chance to remove the status condition.

I know that VS Seeker won't be standard for too much longer, so ideas on what to replace that with would be helpful.

Like I said, I'm open to any and all advice, so please give me some ideas!

If you want to run a special condition based Darkrai there is a better tech that I haven't seen people mention: Hypno with All night party. Hypno's ability leaves both actives asleep and all night party is used to wake yourself up and heal. Some combination of darkrai holo, ex and gx would do the trick alongside Hypno and you could run Max elixirs and baby yveltal if you wanted
